Dabei kann insbesondere eine Veredelung wie beispielsweise eine Galvanisierung, Beschichtung oder dgl. der Einzelkontakte vereinfacht werden. Weiter vorteilhaft wird ermöglicht, dass durch elektrische Messungen bei einer Kontaktierung der beiden Schenkel Informationen über einen Zustand des Steckkontaktes gewonnen werden können. Beispielsweise kann bei einem eingesteckten Gegenkontakt der Übergangswiderstand gegenüberliegender Schenkel gemessen werden. Vorteilhafterweise ermöglicht dies eine Überprüfung des Übergangswiderstandes über die Lebensdauer der Verbindung. Weiterhin kann mittels einer Durchgangsmessung an gegenüberliegenden Schenkeln überprüft werden, ob ein Gegenkontakt eingesteckt ist.Advantageously, this allows a simplification of a manufacturing process. In this case, in particular, a refinement such as, for example, a galvanization, coating or the like of the individual contacts can be simplified. Further advantageously, it is possible that information about a state of the plug contact can be obtained by electrical measurements in a contacting of the two legs. For example, in the case of an inserted mating contact, the contact resistance of opposing legs can be measured.

Ein verbesserter elektrischer Kontakt zwischen einem federnden Schenkel und einem Gegenstecker wird vorzugsweise erreicht, wenn die Kontaktfläche auf einem federnden Schenkel als Kontaktkalotte ausgebildet ist. Die Kontaktkalotte bildet insbesondere einen definierten Kontaktpunkt auf einer flachen Gegenkontaktfläche und ermöglicht eine sichere Kontaktierung zum Gegenkontakt.According to a development of the contact carrier is provided that each of the resilient legs is constructed identically.

Vorteilhafterweise kann dadurch ein Kontaktträger gleichzeitig mit mehreren Federkontakten, insbesondere Dual-Federkontakten, bestückt werden. Dies ermöglicht insbesondere eine vergrößerte Bestückungsgeschwindigkeit und eine verbesserte Positioniergenauigkeit.Advantageously, a contact carrier can thereby be equipped simultaneously with a plurality of spring contacts, in particular dual spring contacts. This allows in particular an increased insertion speed and improved positioning accuracy.
Das Trägerelement ist insbesondere als Trägerstreifen, beispielsweise bandförmig, ausgestaltet. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass mehr als zwei Bauteilelemente von dem Bauteil erstreckt sein können. Beispielsweise sind drei, vier oder eine vielfache Anzahl von zwei Bauteilelementen vorgesehen. Insbesondere sind benachbarte Bauteilelemente zur Bildung von Anschlusslaschen und Kontaktfedern zwei benachbarter Kontakte, insbesondere Dual-Federkontakte, vorgesehen. Die Bauteilelemente können jedoch auch so an dem Trägerelement angeordnet sein, dass nur ein Teil der in einem Kontaktträgergehäuse vorgesehenen Kontaktöffnungen selektiv bestückt wird. Dies wird beispielsweise verwendet, wenn Kontakte mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften vorgesehen werden sollen.The carrier element is designed in particular as a carrier strip, for example in the form of a ribbon. It goes without saying that more than two component elements can be extended from the component. For example, three, four or a multiple number of two component elements are provided. In particular, adjacent component elements for forming connecting tabs and contact springs of two adjacent contacts, in particular dual-spring contacts, are provided. However, the component elements can also be arranged on the carrier element such that only a part of the contact openings provided in a contact carrier housing is selectively populated. This is used, for example, when providing contacts with different properties.
Hinsichtlich einer Konfektionierung ist es günstig, wenn die Bauteilelemente parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Insbesondere sind die Bauteilelemente zinkenförmig zueinander angeordnet, so dass Trägerelemente und Bauteilelemente eine in etwa kammartige Struktur bilden.With regard to a packaging, it is advantageous if the component elements are arranged parallel to each other. In particular, the component elements are arranged in the shape of tines with respect to one another, so that carrier elements and component elements form an approximately comb-like structure.
In einer Ausgestaltung des Bauteils sind die Bauteilelemente in einem Raster angeordnet. Das Raster entspricht dabei insbesondere dem vorstehend beschriebenen Raster der Dual-Federkontakte. Diese Anordnung ermöglicht insbesondere eine einfachere und/oder schnellere Herstellung.In one embodiment of the component, the component elements are arranged in a grid. The grid corresponds in particular to the grid of the dual spring contacts described above. This arrangement in particular allows easier and / or faster production.
Zur Verrastung bei einem Einstecken in einen Kontaktträger bzw. ein Kontaktträgergehäuse weisen die Bauteilelemente gemäß einer Weiterbildung wenigstens eine Rastnase und/oder eine Rastnut, insbesondere zwischen Kontaktfederabschnitt und Anschlussabschnitt, auf. Diese Verrastemittel können beispielsweise in etwa mittig an den Bauteilelementen vorgesehen sein.For latching when plugged into a contact carrier or a contact carrier housing, the component elements according to a development, at least one locking lug and / or a locking groove, in particular between contact spring portion and connection section, on. These latching means can be provided, for example, approximately in the middle of the component elements.
Hinsichtlich einer Herstellung ist es günstig, wenn das Bauteil ein ebenes, insbesondere bandförmiges, Blechteil ist. Dies ermöglicht insbesondere eine preisgünstige Herstellung aus einem Bandmaterial mittels beispielsweise eines Stanzprozesses. Weiterhin ermöglicht die Verwendung eines Bleches vorzugsweise ein Aufrollen des Bauteils. Beispielsweise kann der Trägerstreifen mit den davon erstreckten Bauteilelementen leicht auf eine Rolle aufgewickelt werden.With regard to a production, it is advantageous if the component is a flat, in particular band-shaped, sheet metal part. This allows in particular an inexpensive production of a strip material by means of, for example, a stamping process. Furthermore, the use of a sheet preferably allows the component to be rolled up. For example, the carrier strip with the component elements extending therefrom can be easily wound onto a roll.
Die Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren ein Verfahren zum Konfektionieren eines Kontaktträgers, insbesondere gemäß einer der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausgestaltungen, wobei ein Bauteil, insbesondere gemäß einer der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausgestaltungen, mit einem Trägerelement und wenigstens zwei sich von dem Trägerelement erstreckenden Bauteilelementen mit den Bauteilelementen in einen Kontaktträger mit wenigstens zwei Kontaktöffnungen eingesetzt wird. Durch die Bauteilelemente werden federnde Schenkel gebildet, und das Trägerelement wird abgetrennt, wobei die Bauteilelemente voneinander getrennt werden. Die Bauteilelemente werden dabei insbesondere in verschiedene Kontaktöffnungen eingesteckt. Insbesondere werden benachbarte Bauteilelemente in benachbarte Kontaktöffnungen eingesetzt.The invention further relates to a method for assembling a contact carrier, in particular according to one of the embodiments described above, wherein a component, in particular according to one of the embodiments described above, with a carrier element and at least two extending from the carrier element component elements with the component elements in a contact carrier is used with at least two contact openings. By the component elements resilient legs are formed, and the carrier element is separated, wherein the component elements are separated from each other. The component elements are thereby inserted in particular into different contact openings. In particular, adjacent component elements are inserted into adjacent contact openings.
Je nach gewünschter Anzahl von Kontakten bzw. vorhandener Anzahl von Kontaktöffnungen wird das Bauteil vor dem Einsetzen zur Auswahl der Anzahl der Bauteilelemente gemäß einer Variante des Verfahrens abgelenkt. Die Bauteilelemente können beispielsweise zur Bildung von Lötlaschen vor oder nach dem Abtrennen des Trägerelementes abgewinkelt werden.Depending on the desired number of contacts or existing number of contact openings, the component is deflected before insertion for selecting the number of component elements according to a variant of the method. The component elements can be angled, for example, to form solder tabs before or after the separation of the carrier element.
Ein Herstellungsprozess kann vereinfacht werden, wenn die Bauteilelemente in eine gemeinsame Richtung abgewinkelt werden. Insbesondere ermöglicht dies, einen Biegeprozess besser in einem vorangehenden Stanzprozess zu integrieren, so dass die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit erhöht werden kann.A manufacturing process can be simplified if the component elements are angled in a common direction. In particular, this allows to integrate a bending process better in a previous punching process, so that the production speed can be increased.
Für eine präzise Anordnung der Kontakte in dem Kontaktträger bzw. dem Kontaktträgergehäuse können die Bauteilelemente zweier in den Kontaktträger gegenüberliegend eingesetzte Bauteile vor dem Abtrennen der Trägerelemente gemeinsam abgewinkelt werden, wobei beide Bauteile und/oder die Bauteilelemente zueinander ausgerichtet werden. Dies ermöglicht vorzugsweise eine gute Einhaltung einer im Hinblick auf eine Verwendung als SMD-Bauteil wünschenswerten Planarität von Anschlusslaschen bzw. Lötlaschen.For a precise arrangement of the contacts in the contact carrier or the contact carrier housing, the component elements of two opposing components used in the contact carrier before the separation of the carrier elements are angled together, both components and / or the component elements are aligned. This preferably makes it possible to maintain a good planarity of connecting straps or solder straps which is desirable with regard to use as an SMD component.
Zur Bereitstellung der Bauteile werden diese beispielsweise aus einem Blech ausgestanzt.To provide the components they are punched out of a sheet, for example.
Eine Herstellung lässt sich dabei vorzugsweise beschleunigen, wenn wenigstens zwei Bauteile aus einem Blech ausgestanzt werden, wobei die Bauteile so angeordnet sind, dass wenigstens ein Bauteilelement des einen Bauteils in eine Lücke zwischen Bauteilelementen des anderen Bauteils eingreift. Durch eine derartige in etwa kammartig ineinandergreifende Anordnung wenigstens zweier Bauteile kann die Anzahl der mit einem einzigen Stanzvorgang hergestellten Bauteile zumindest verdoppelt und die Materialausnutzung verbessert werden.A production can be accelerated preferably when at least two components are punched out of a metal sheet, wherein the components are arranged so that at least one component element of the one component engages in a gap between component elements of the other component. By such an approximately comb-like interlocking arrangement of at least two components, the number of components produced with a single punching operation can be at least doubled and the material utilization can be improved.
