Abstract
A contact pin comprises a contact section, a mounting section angled with respect to the contact section, and a transition region connecting the contact section and the mounting section. The contact section extends substantially parallel to a contacting direction in which the contact pin is pressed into a contact pin receptacle. The transition region has a recess forming a substantially planar engagement surface.
Claims20
A contact pin, comprising:
- a contact section extending substantially parallel to a contacting direction in which the contact pin is pressed into a contact pin receptacle;
- a mounting section angled with respect to the contact section;
- and
- a transition region connecting the contact section and the mounting section, the transition region having a recess forming a substantially planar engagement surface.
1 more element
A connector, comprising:
- a contact pin receptacle having a shaft extending along a press-in direction;
- and
- a contact pin having a contact section extending substantially parallel to the press-in direction and received in the shaft, a mounting section angled with respect to the contact section;
- and a transition region connecting the contact section and the mounting section, the transition region having a recess forming a substantially planar engagement surface.
1 more element
A method for producing a connector, comprising:
- stamping a contact pin out of a contact material, the contact pin having a contact section extending parallel to a contacting direction, a mounting section extending at an angle with respect to the contact section, and a transition region connecting the contact section and the mounting section, the transition region having a recess forming a substantially planar engagement surface, a stamping direction in which the contact pin is stamped extends perpendicular to a plane defined by the contact section and the mounting section;
- and
- pressing the contact pin in the contacting direction into a shaft of a contact pin receptacle by using a press-in tool on the engagement surface.
