Abstract:
A connector includes a housing with a plurality of electrically conductive terminals therein. Some terminals may include a terminal support projection that engages the housing to maintain the position of a contact section of the terminals relative to the housing. Other terminals may have a tool engaging shoulder configured to be engaged by a tool to force press-fit tails of all of the terminals into a circuit member. The housing may include a locking structure for certain the terminals that permits the terminals to be inserted into the housing with little or no force and then securely lock the terminals in the housing. One or more ground plates may be included for electrically connecting a plurality of the terminals. The ground plates may have resilient tabs that contact at least some of the terminals and the tabs may be thinner than a body portion of the ground plate.
Abstract:
A connector (1) with a terminal locking mechanism, which comprises a connection terminal (30) having at one end thereof an elongated, tab-shaped contact portion (31), a latch portion (33) provided centrally of the terminal, a locking piece (37) provided on a side of a connection of the contact portion with the latch portion to be flush with a side of the latch portion and extending toward the tab-shaped contact portion (31) positioned forward, and a contact recess (21) provided in a contact portion fitting hole (20) formed in a housing (10), and wherein, when the connection terminal (30) is inserted into a terminal receiving chamber (11) of the housing, the locking piece (37) on the connection terminal is caused to abut against the contact recess (21) in the contact portion fitting hole (20).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a socket for a relay comprising contact chambers (25,26,27) with open insertion slots (15,16,17) on the top side of the base body to accomodate flat pin terminals (5,6,7) and into which contact jacks (35) can be inserted from underneath. Said contact jacks (35) have snap-in pins (39) extending on both sides and which are snapped into the grooves of the contact chambers. The contact chambers (25,26,27) with the inserted contact jacks (35) are narrower than the insertion slots (15,16,17) and are arranged in the form of alternating zigzags in relation to the ends of the insertion slots. The oppositely formed snap-in grooves (40,41) are also arranged as zigzags in the separating walls. In comparison with aligned contact chamber arrangements, the inventive device enables a larger number of standard contact jacks to be inserted in standardized contact chambers in the same amount of space.
Abstract:
An electrical male terminal of this invention includes a clamp or crimp area, a main body, and a blade. Protruding members and support members of the main body act as overstress protection. A panel shield member protects a protruding guide member. In another embodiment of this invention, a protruding member extends from a first support member of the main body, and a cut-out portion at the lower portion of the main body accommodates therein the protruding member to prevent the tang member from inadvertently or accidentally rotating relative to the lower portion of the main body.
Abstract:
A shielded electrical connector system for electrically and mechanically connecting a component to a power source is disclosed. The shielded connector system includes a male connector assembly with a male terminal, a non-conductive internal male housing that receives the male terminal, and a conductive external male housing that receives an extent of the internal male housing. This male terminal includes a side wall arrangement that defines a receiver and further includes at least one contact arm. An internal spring member with at least one spring arm resides within the male terminal receiver. A female connector assembly includes a female terminal with a receptacle that receives both the male terminal and the spring member. Wherein in a connected position of the shielded electrical connector system: the male terminal and the spring member reside within the receptacle of the female terminal, the male terminal, the spring member and the female terminal reside within the external female housing, the male terminal and the spring member reside within the internal female housing, the male terminal and the spring member reside within the internal male housing, and a major extent of both the male terminal and the spring member extend beyond the external male housing.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckkontakt mit einem ersten Bereich zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit einem elektrischen Anschluss und einem zweiten Bereich zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit einem elektrischen Leiter, wobei die beiden Bereiche miteinander elektrisch leitend verbunden sind. Um ein elektrischen Steckkontakt anzugeben, der einfacher im Aufbau und zuverlässiger in der Anwendung ist, wird vorgeschlagen, dass der zweite Bereich als eine, insbesondere zylindrische, Steckhülse ausgebildet ist, die in deren Kontaktbereich mit dem elektrischen Leiter und parallel zu deren Längsachse verlaufend ein Langloch und einen dem Langloch diametral gegenüberliegenden Längsschlitz aufweist. Darüber hinaus ist auch ein System angegeben, bestehend aus einem elektrischen Steckkontakt und einem elektrischen Leiter, insbesondere Strombalken, wobei in dem elektrischen Leiter ein eckiges, insbesondere viereckiges, Loch zur Aufnahme der, insbesondere zylindrischen, Steckhülse in deren Einstecklage ausgebildet ist.
Abstract:
A contact assembly (80) for use in an electrical connector. The contact assembly (80) includes an insulative contact block (81) defining a plurality of apertures (82) therethrough. The contacts assembly (80) also includes a plurality of dual beam contact terminals (80A). Each plurality of dual beam contact terminals (80A) extends through an aperture (82) in the contact block (81) wherein the dual beam contact terminals (80A) are seated within the aperture (82) of the contact block (81) at an inwardly directed tension that maintains a desired spring rate on the contacts.
Abstract:
A flat, stackable contact component (1) with two rows of contact parts (2) has a housing which can be assembled from a front part (11) and a rear part (10). In the region of the front of the rear part (10), the contact parts (1) have holding tabs which wrap around the outer walls (14) of the rear part (10). The contact parts (2) can therefore be fixed onto the rear part in the correct position for assembly, without the use of special aids, before the front part (11) is placed on the rear part.
