Problems solved by technology

[0004] There is also a need to miniaturize the plug connector, therefore, the contact elements must also be reduced in size
Given the current level of miniaturization, further size reductions are more difficult, since functional parts of the contact elements (such as contact springs) still have to be accommodated on the socket part and at the same time must be able to exert the desired contact force
In the case of progressive miniaturization, this is made more difficult by the fact that the material thickness of the sheet metal usually used to punch out the contact elements and the carrier strip is currently between 0.1 and 0.2mm

Embodiment Construction

[0067] First, in figure 1 A possible embodiment of the contact element 1 according to the invention is described on the basis of, figure 1 A contact element 1 formed as a socket contact is shown in a schematic perspective view. Contact element 1 on its longitudinal axis L 1 in the longitudinal direction X, and transverse to the longitudinal axis L 1 Extends in the lateral direction Y and vertical direction Z. The longitudinal direction X, the transverse direction Y and the vertical direction Z collectively define a Cartesian coordinate system. All references below to front and rear generally relate to elements arranged or spaced relative to each other in or opposite to the longitudinal direction X. References to left or right generally relate to elements arranged or spaced relative to each other in the transverse direction Y. References to above and below generally relate to elements arranged or spaced relative to one another in or against the vertical direction Z.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a contact element (1) for an electric plug connector, having a jack portion (2) which has an opening (9) which specifies an insertion direction (E) for insertion of a pin contact (30) into the jack portion (2), and having a contact spring (13) which is connected via at least one root (15a, 15b) to the jack portion (2) and with which a contact force can be exerted on the pin contact transversely to the insertion direction (E). The invention further relates to an equipping arrangement (100) for equipping electric plug connectors with at least one contact element (1) according to the invention. In order to be able to ensure a further miniaturisation of contact elements (1) while maintaining desired contact forces, it is provided according to the invention that the contact spring (13) extends from the root (15a, 15b) substantially counter to the insertion direction (E) extending towards the opening (9).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a contact element for an electrical plug connector having a socket part with an opening specifying an insertion direction for inserting a pin contact into said socket part, And there is a contact spring connected to the socket part via at least one root and with which a contact force can be exerted on the pin contact transversely to the insertion direction. [0002] The invention also relates to a furnishing arrangement for equipping an electrical plug connector with contact elements, having a carrier strip holding at least one contact element. Background technique [0003] Contact elements of the above-mentioned type and equipment arrangements comprising these contact elements are known in the prior art. The contact elements are usually connected to the carrier strip via material bridges, delivered in the folded state and loaded into an automatic placement machine which automatically provides the contact elements with electri...
