Embodiment Construction

[0035] First, refer to figure 1 The structure of the terminal 1 configured according to the present invention is described.

[0036]The terminal 1 is configured as a poke-in terminal, that is, a cable can be electrically connected as well as mechanically connected to the terminal by poking the cable into the terminal 1 . The terminals are formed by a thin metal plate 1'. The sheet metal can be made of any type of alloy, preferably a copper alloy.

[0037] To receive at least the contact portion of the cable, the terminal comprises a cable receiver 2 . The cable receiver 2 is provided with a cable retainer 3 which is pressed onto the cable in the fitted state of the terminal 1 of the cable receiver 2 receiving the cable to overcome the action on the cable or the cable. external traction while maintaining the cable. The cable holder 3 protrudes from the holder spring 6 . The cable retainer 3 and the retainer spring 6 are arranged in series so that when the cable 11 is pushe...

Abstract

The invention relates to a terminal (1) for electrically connecting at least one wire to a printed circuit board, comprising at least one connecting portion (4) for mounting the terminal (1) on the printed circuit board, and a wire receptacle (2) for receiving the wire in an insertion direction (I), the wire receptacle (2) comprising a wire chamber (2a) and a wire retainer (3), the wire retainer (3), at least at an unmated state of the terminal (1), extending into the wire chamber (2a) and being adapted to be deflected resiliently by the wire (11) in an outward direction (O). To create a reliable terminal (1) which is suitable for miniature or sub-miniature applications, in particular AWG 24 or smaller wires, the terminal (1) is provided with a retainer spring (6) resiliently supporting the wire retainer (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a terminal for electrically connecting at least one cable to a printed circuit board, in particular a poke-in terminal comprising at least one connecting portion for mounting the terminal on a printed circuit board, and for A cable receiver receiving a cable in an insertion direction, the cable receiver comprising a cable cavity and a cable retainer extending into the cable cavity at least in an unmated state of the terminal and adapted to be resiliently deflected in an outward direction by the cable. Background technique [0002] Terminals of the type described above are used to electrically connect electrical devices, such as light emitting devices, to a printed circuit board (PCB). The terminal allows the installation of the cable or the cable to a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting the cable into the cable receptacle. The cable can be installed without twisting and without soldering. In the cable receiver, ...
