Elongated U-shaped holder of contact element for plug pin - has adjusting unit displacing leaf spring from neutral to active position pressing pin to base

摘要

The contact element for a plug pin, consisting of an elongated U-shaped holder made from a conducting metal, has open ends, and a contact base (1) whose top surface is provided with contact points or at least one profiled contact surface (2). There are two side walls (3) whose heights are increased towards the two ends of the holder, which are bent over inwards (4, 5). These form supports for a buckled leaf spring (7) which has widened the lips (8, 9) at the two ends. The holder is provided with an adjustment element, used for displacing the leaf spring from one position to another position without any resistance. This will press the pin against the point of contact at the base of the holder.
