Abstract (en)

An electrical connector arrangement comprises rectangular hollow connector body formed by stamping and bending from conductive metal sheet including pair of parallel spaced vertical side walls (5a, 5d), horizontal top wall (5b), vertical end wall (5e), horizontal bottom wall (5c) and side walls; U-shaped resilient spring contact mounted in chamber; top wall connected with one of side walls by corner edge portion; and connector body having horizontal bottom connecting surface (10) adapted for connection with electrical component. Electrical connector arrangement comprises rectangular hollow connector body formed by stamping and bending from conductive metal sheet including pair of parallel spaced vertical side walls (5a, 5d), horizontal top wall (5b) orthogonally arranged relative to side walls, respectively, vertical end wall (5e) orthogonally arranged relative to side walls, horizontal bottom wall (5c) cooperating with side and end walls to define chamber, and side walls integral with and bent from parallel opposite edges of given end or top walls, respectively; U-shaped resilient spring contact mounted in chamber and includes horizontal bottom leg connected with bottom wall, top leg adjacent to top wall, and connecting portion connected between bottom and top legs, where top leg is resiliently biased away from bottom leg; top wall connected with one of side walls by corner edge portion containing access opening opposite to spring contact top leg; and connector body having horizontal bottom connecting surface (10) adapted for connection with electrical component. To bias toward top wall a bare conductor is introduced into chamber via an opening contained at one end of connector body. To permit insertion into chamber of the tip of operating tool, top leg is release from engagement with conductor withdrawn from chamber. An independent claim is included for a method of forming electrical connector.

Bei einem Verfahren zur Montage von Anschlussvorrichtungen, insbesondere Federklemmen, an einem Bauteil wie einer Leiterplatte, werden nach einem Abwickeln eines Montagebandes (13) mit den Anschlussvorrichtungen (1) von einer Spule (16) Solltrennstellen (14) zwischen einem Montageband und den Anschlussvorrichtungen (1) durchtrennt. Geschaffen wird zudem eine neue Federklemme, die sich für eine automatisierte SMD-Montage eignet.
