Socket contact

Abstract

The contact (1) has two spring arms (4) whose ends comprise contact regions, where the contact is formed from a hollow cylinder. An axial slot (3) is brought into the hollow cylinder, where the two spring arms are formed at the axial slot. The contact regions are designed as a truncated pyramid that is formed with a curved top surface, where the curved top surface of the truncated pyramid produces two touching contacts with a pin contact. The spring arms are flexed to each other in a radial direction and exhibit a wall thickness that is varied in an axial direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a socket contact according to the preamble of claim 1 . Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a socket contact according to claim 8 . Background technique [0002] Such socket contacts are used to produce electrical contacts with pin contacts. [0003] The electrical conductors can be connected directly to the socket contacts and pin contacts. Crimp connection techniques are often used to connect conductors to socket contacts or pin contacts. [0004] DE 102010020346 A1 shows a contact socket with individual spring arms. The socket is manufactured from solid material. Such a contact socket with associated pin contacts can provide high contact force. This contact force remains constant even after several plug-in operations. [0005] EP 0133377 A2 shows a socket contact with two contact blades. The contact piece is V-shaped and thus has two contact pieces which come into contact with a contact pin. ...
