Definitions

  • MID "Molded Interconnect Devices "”
  • the Contact device associated with the mating contacts Marginal edges to sliding contacts such as fork spring contacts, Double leg flat springs od.
  • the Legs of the fork springs so asymmetrically form that the liquid crystal display at first obliquely to the opening of Fork springs without overcoming a spring force is to introduce and then by tilting to the parallel of the longitudinal axis of Fork springs whose two legs for two-sided contacting in the connector strip expands.
  • Object of the present invention is essentially a To provide contact device of the type assumed to be known, which are simply designed and protected against damage Contact surfaces is particularly protected.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features of Claim 1 and is accordingly characterized in that the respective muzzle inclined surface in an additional contact tip goes over, the contact tip in the direction of the contact as leading contact point is upstream.
  • the essential core of the invention is accordingly provide additional contact points that possibly contact damaging influence of mating contacts, in particular eliminate their sharp or rugged edges or at least "defuse" before the conductive parts of the mating contacts with the actual contact blades come into operative contact.
  • DE 1 046 137 proposes for each contact unit two or more adjacent contact elements to provide, wherein the contact-making crests of the contact elements are arranged offset in the insertion direction such that when Insert the printed circuit the contact elements each Contact one after the other.
  • Everybody exists here Contact device of at least two, preferably three side by side lying fork-shaped contact elements, each in opposing arrangement a Kunststoffkuppencru exhibit.
  • additional contact points present, but not in the sense of the invention the actual Contact tip upstream in the direction of insertion of the contact leading.
  • the mouth inclined surface each have a steep Angle (W) of about 40 ° to 55 ° to the direction of insertion includes and that the transition from the leading contact point to the actual The contact tip is flatter than the mouth slope and in each case an angle (W) of about 15 ° to 30 ° to the direction of insertion includes.
  • W steep Angle
  • existing muzzle slopes are these according to the invention by special steepness "aggressive" designed to get as close as possible to the target, disturbing burrs, Edges od. The like. To settle the mating contact elements.
  • highly miniaturized contact device preferably all contact points with the contact in one piece as well formed material-material-cohesive.
  • the invention provides an embodiment in which the leading contact tip of a contact leg with respect to the leading contact point of the other contact leg in the insertion direction arranged offset by a certain amount.
  • one Contact element according to the invention differs, apart from only the geometric shape of the generating Tool, not from the production of a usual simple Fork spring contact. Consequently, the invention requires virtually no additional effort and costs.
  • a total of 10 designated contact device comprises a number of contact springs 11, which are used as fork springs Fork legs 12 and 13 and a connecting them Fork 14 are formed. At the latter is a foot part or Conductor connection portion 15 in particular material-material-cohesive tethered. This can be a Crimp connection act for stripped conductor ends, but also e.g. around an insulation displacement fork. Otherwise, section 15 is not Subject of the present invention.
  • Each of the two fork legs 12, 13 has at its for facing each fork legs 13 and 12, respectively Page a so-called contact point 16 or 17 on.
  • the offset 19 reduce the insertion force due to the time lag of the maximum deflection of the fork legs 12 and 13 during a Plugging process.
  • the fork spring contact 11 is perpendicular to the plane from a flat rectangular contact sheet cut out.
  • the contact tops 16 and 17 make their contact surfaces with the punching surfaces 16a and 17a ready.
  • these contact surfaces 16a and 17a, possibly also the entire contact spring 11, are in terms of optimal electrical contact enhanced by a galvanic coating such as. a tinning or gilding.
  • This finishing layer is very sensitive and can, for example, by sharp edges 24 be damaged by mating contacts 20.
  • Fig. 6 are therefore the marginal edges of a circuit board 20th by training two bevels 31 a little "defused". nevertheless still remain from Fig. 6 apparent, despite the chamfer 31st sharp edges 24 are left as possibly damaging.
  • This contact device 10 or the contact spring 11 is now in specially designed to work even with sharp edges 24, 25 of Mating contacts 20 such. a printed circuit board 21 with conductor tracks 22 and 23, to be contacted without the contact surfaces 16a, 17a or their finishing layers suffer damage.
  • each of the two fork legs 12 and 13 each have another, so-called leading contact point 29 and 30 are provided.
  • Their inner surfaces are 29a and 30a designated.
  • the Contact tips 29 and 30 and thus also their inner surfaces 29a and 30a have a longitudinal offset, which in FIG. 1 denotes 28 is.
  • At the leading contact points 29 and 30 close to free end of the fork legs 12 and 13 each one Muzzle inclined surface 26 and 27 at.
  • the mouth inclined surface 27 has now the now smoothed edge 25 leave. Meanwhile, the opposite edge 24 of the circuit board 21 a piece along the along opposite mouth slope 26 slid along and has smoothed these too. At the same time, the force contact between the edge 24 and the mouth inclined surface 26 the Fork leg 12 and 13 further spread.
  • Fig. 3 is on the one hand to see that the edges 24 and 25 of the Circuit board 21 have been chamfered and that now the circuit board 21 between the two mouth inclined surfaces 26 and 27 of the Contact device 10 is located.
  • the Printed circuit board edge 24 In the further course of the attachment of the contact device 10th touched on the circuit board 21, as shown in Fig. 4, the Printed circuit board edge 24, the one inclined surface 32 (for clarity shown in Fig. 3) between the leading contact tip 29th and the actual contact tip 16 is formed and a Inclination of about 15 ° (angle w in Fig. 3).
  • the contact of the PCB edge 24 with the inclined surface 32 optionally leads to further sizing her edge 24.
  • the essence is the invention therein, the actual contact caps 16 and 17 for free end of the fork legs 12 and 13 towards so-called leading Preceding contact 29 and 30, which, in particular in Interaction with the previously arranged aggressive Mündungsschräg vom 26 and 27, the edges 24 and 25 of the Mating contact 20, e.g. a circuit board 21, a blade contact or an MID break or settle or chamfer.
