Definitions
- the invention relates to a connection terminal with a contact cage which has a cage bottom, a cage top and two opposing cage side walls, each connecting the cage bottom to the cage top, which together form a lateral surface and surround a conductor receiving space, with one formed by at least one spring element and a counter bearing Terminal point, which is used for holding and electrical contacting of an electrical conductor, with an end-face conductor insertion opening which is surrounded by the cage side walls, the cage top and the cage bottom and through which the electrical conductor can be inserted into the conductor receiving space and fed to the terminal point, with a in the conductor insertion direction oriented contact cage longitudinal axis, with an in particular cylindrical normal cross-sectional contour of the contact cage, which extends essentially from the end face of the contact cage to an end of the contact opposite the end face tcage extends.
- connection terminals are placed directly on printed circuit boards as so-called SMD components (surface mount device) in order to establish a connection with conductors, in particular cables, which are used for power supply or for feeding in control signals.
- SMD components surface mount device
- Such connection terminals are often designed without a housing and arranged in a row next to one another on printed circuit boards. Here, the distances between two connection terminals are reduced to a minimum, which usually only corresponds to the required insulation distance.
- connection terminal of the generic type is, for example, from DE 10 2015 115 791 A1 known.
- This clamp makes it possible to open the clamping point formed by the counter bearing and the spring element.
- the spring element can be displaced away from the counter bearing via an actuating handle protruding laterally from a cage side wall.
- DE 10 2015 122 400 A1 also discloses a manually used operating tool for opening the clamping point. This actuating tool overlaps the contact cage and interacts with the actuating handle of the connection terminal from the prior art described above in order to open the clamping point.
- the DE 10 2015 122 400 A1 a variant of the operating tool is shown which has an assembly upstream of the conductor insertion opening of the connection terminal, which is spread apart from the rest of the outer contour and forms an insertion funnel upstream of the conductor insertion opening.
- the insertion funnel serves to improve the introduction of connection cables, in particular those whose conductors are multi-wire.
- connection terminal of the generic type in particular without a housing, which, while ensuring minimal spacing, is suitable for both manual and can also be used for machine assembly with, in particular, multi-wire connection conductors.
- connection terminal with the features of claim 1, in particular with its characterizing features, according to which the jacket surface of the contact cage is retracted in an area downstream of the conductor insertion opening in the insertion direction compared to the normal cross-sectional contour of the contact cage and the conductor receiving space is narrowed and at least due to the retracted jacket surface an inclined guide surface arranged within the cross-sectional contour is formed in the region of the conductor insertion opening, which displaces a conductor to be inserted into the connection terminal in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the contact cage.
- the conductor insertion opening is provided with at least one inclined guide surface in that the jacket surface of the contact cage of the connection terminal is drawn in in some areas.
- the drawn-in area lies in particular between the conductor insertion opening and the terminal point.
- connection terminal As a result of this configuration of the connection terminal according to the invention, an inclined guide surface for guiding a multi-wire conductor can be formed without the housing dimensions of the connection terminal becoming larger.
- the conductor due to the drawn-in area of the jacket surface, the conductor is displaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the contact cage and thus in the direction of the center of the contact cage. In this way, its position is optimized in the assembled state.
- the at least one guide inclined surface is formed by a cage side wall, with both cage side walls preferably each forming a guide inclined surface.
- the cage bottom forms a tongue which extends from the conductor insertion opening in the direction of the end of the contact cage and forms a further inclined guide surface, especially if the inclined guide surfaces together with the cage cover form an insertion funnel downstream of the insertion opening in the insertion direction.
- the cage cover in the transition area to the respective side wall each has an engagement opening for an opening tool, which enable access to the spring element.
- the cage cover in the transition area to the respective side wall has an engagement opening for an opening tool, which enable access to the spring element.
- an opening tool is provided, the active elements of which are seated in the engagement openings upstream of the terminal point in the conductor insertion direction and further narrow the conductor receiving space relative to the drawn-in lateral surface and additionally guide the conductor to be inserted in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the contact cage.
- the engagement openings extend partially into the respective side wall.
- an approximately roof-like inclined partition is inserted in the drawn-in lateral surface area between the cage ceiling and at least one side wall, which connects the cage ceiling and the side wall, with a roof-like inclined partition preferably being arranged between the cage ceiling and each side wall.
- the inner surface of the cage cover in the area of the clamping point is provided with a profile, in particular with grooves, which serve to improve the retention of the conductor in the clamping point.
- connection terminal according to the invention is provided overall with the reference number 10.
- connection terminal 10 is in Figure 1 shown in perspective view.
- the connection terminal 10 according to the invention is, for example, an SMD component (surface mount device), which is applied to printed circuit boards (not shown here) in order to ensure the voltage supply and the supply of control signals from electrical or electronic components sitting on the board.
- SMD component surface mount device
- connection terminal 10 is a connection terminal 10 without a housing, that is to say a connection terminal 10 that is not surrounded by an insulating material housing.
- the terminal 10 initially comprises a contact cage 11, which essentially has an outer contour in the manner of a rectangular cylinder.
- the contact cage 11 is formed by a cage bottom 12, a cage top 13 and two cage side walls 14.
- the cage side walls 14 lie opposite one another and connect the cage bottom 12 to the cage top 13.
- the cage bottom 12, the cage top 13 and the two cage side walls 14 together form a jacket surface of the contact cage 11 and surround a conductor receiving space 15.
- One of the end faces of the cylindrical contact cage 11 forms a conductor insertion opening 15 and is therefore held without a rim in this exemplary embodiment.
- the end face could be partially closed by an end wall.
- the conductor insertion opening 15 is surrounded by the cage top 13 and the cage side walls 14 and the cage bottom 12, the cage bottom 12 forming a guide zone 16 which, starting from the conductor insertion opening 15, extends in the direction of the opposite Extends the end of the contact cage and forms an inclined guide surface 17.
- the cage cover 13 is provided with two engagement openings 18 through which an opening tool can enter the contact cage 11.
- the engagement openings 18 are arranged in the transition area to the respective cage side wall 14, so that a web-like section of the cage cover 13 remains between the opposing engagement openings 18.
- the side walls of the cage have openings 19 lying opposite one another. On the one hand, these serve to support a spring element 30 of the connection terminal 10 in the contact cage 11. On the other hand, the engagement openings 18 in the cage cover 13 merge into the openings 19 in the cage side walls 14. It can therefore also be said that the engagement openings 18 extend into the respective cage side wall 14.
- the contact cage has a so-called normal cross-sectional contour, which extends essentially from the end face forming the conductor insertion opening 15 to the end of the contact cage opposite this end face. In the exemplary embodiment, this is cylindrical.
- This normal cross-sectional contour defines the installation space required by the connection terminal 10 in terms of height and width.
- the contact cage 11 has a section A in which the outer surface of the contact cage is drawn in with respect to the normal cross-sectional contour.
- This drawn-in section is the conductor insertion opening 15 or the end face of the contact cage 11 in FIG Downstream of the conductor insertion direction x and in the exemplary embodiment extends into the area of the engagement openings 18.
- a further extension for example up to a terminal point 21 holding the conductor in the connection terminal 10 and described later, is easily conceivable.
- the drawn-in section leads to the formation of inclined guide surfaces 22 of the side walls in the area of the conductor insertion opening 15.
- FIG. 2 shows, in particular in connection with FIG. 1 a, that an intermediate wall 24 is arranged between the cage ceiling 13 and the retracted cage side wall sections 23. This is inclined so that a roof-shaped section is formed here.
- the inner cross section of the contact cage 11 narrows in the area A of the drawn-in lateral surface.
- further inclined guide surfaces 25 are formed, which merge into the respective intermediate wall 24.
- the inclined surfaces 17, 22 and 25 form a funnel-like insertion aid that essentially centers the conductor.
- the arc-like cutout 26 at the free end of the guide tongue 16, the apex of which is arranged approximately in the longitudinal center plane of the contact cage 11, is also advantageous.
- the Figures 3a and 3b show a vertical longitudinal section through the contact cage 11 along the section plane III / III in FIG Figure 2 .
- the Figure 3a shows the contact cage 11 including the spring element 30, the Figure 3b shows the contact cage 11 without spring element 30.
- the cage top, a cage side wall with opening 19 and the cage bottom 12, which forms the guide tongue 16 in the area of the conductor insertion opening 15, are shown.
- the cross section of the spring element 30 is bent approximately in a U-shape, the leg facing the cage cover 13 initially consisting of a support section 31 that is approximately parallel to the cage bottom and an adjoining clamping section 32.
- the clamping section 32 is biased against the inside of the cage ceiling.
- the cage cover 13 accordingly forms a counter-bearing for the clamping section 32 or the spring element 30.
- the counter bearing and the clamping section 32 form the clamping point. If a conductor, in particular a connection cable, is inserted into the conductor insertion device x through the conductor insertion opening 15 into the conductor receiving space 33, the latter displaces the clamping section 32 from its inside Figure 3a Starting position shown in the direction of the bottom of the cage 12.
- the spring tension generated here urges this Head end against the cage cover 13.
- the inner surface is provided with a profile - in the present case it is a series of notches 34. This profile increases - supported by the clamping portion 32 - the friction between the conductor and the cage cover 13 and thus improves the hold of the Conductor in connection terminal 10.
- the conductor receiving space 33 is an area which extends between the plane of the support section 31 and the cage ceiling. In the exemplary embodiment shown, it lies above a horizontal longitudinal plane of the cage which is spanned approximately by the surface of the support section 31. At the end opposite the conductor insertion opening 15, the contact cage 10 has a rear wall 35. On the one hand, this stabilizes the cage construction against deformation. On the other hand, it prevents the penetration of larger dirt particles which could get caught between the clamping section 32 and the cage bottom 12 and thus make it more difficult for the clamping section 32 to evade.
- connection terminal 10 with inclined surfaces 17, 22, 25 for easier insertion of conductors into the connection terminal 10 and a centering of the conductors in the connection terminal 10 without taking up the space required for the connection terminal 10 enlarge.
- This is achieved in that an area of the contact cage 11 which is arranged downstream of the conductor insertion opening 15 is drawn in with respect to its normal cross-sectional contour. This improves the conductor centering in the terminal point, in particular in the case of fully automated wiring, in which a conductor inserted mechanically into the connection terminal 10 is displaced in the direction of the terminal point center despite a decentered positioning of the assembly tool.
