Abstract
A contact system 2 for connection of an electrical supply unit by means of connection lines is integrated in the narrow side of a flat radiator 1 having a discharge vessel comprising baseplate 3, front plate 4 and frame 5. An insulating body, which is provided with U-shaped contact parts, is arranged between a part of baseplate 3 and front plate 4 which projects beyond the frame 5 of the discharge vessel and serves as a receptacle. The contact surfaces of the contact parts are connected to the electrodes of the flat radiator 1 via connection faces of the receptacle. The connection parts of the contact parts are connected to the connection lines.
Claims14
An electrical contact system, having
- a contact part (7;
- 20) having
- a U-shaped section (8;
- 24), comprising two side walls and a connecting wall which connects these two side walls, the outer side of the connecting wall having a contact surface (16;
- 25),
- a connection part (9) for an electrical connection line,
- an insulating body (6), on which the U-shaped section (8;
- 24) of the contact part (7;
- 20) is mounted, in the process engaging partially around at least a partial region of the insulating body (6),
- a receptacle for the insulating body (6) with the mounted contact part (7;
- 20), having
- two plates (3, 4) or at least a part of two plates (3, 4) which are arranged at a distance from one another and, at least in sections, parallel to one another,
- an electrical connection face (17) which is arranged on one of the two mutually facing surfaces of the two plates (3, 4),
- the insulating body (6) being arranged with the contact part (7;
- 20) between the two plates (3, 4), in such a manner that the contact surface (16;
- 25) of the contact part (7;
- 20) is in electrically conductive contact with the connection face (17) of the receptacle.
The contact system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, in which the edges of the insulating body which face the U-shaped contact part have a bevel to allow sliding mounting of the two components.
The contact system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, in which the insulating body (6) consists of polycarbonate with a glass fiber content of 20%.
The contact system as claimed in one of the preceding claims, having more than one contact part (17;
- 20).
