Abstract
The invention concerns an electrical terminal with a housing, which comprises an insulating material, and with an actuating push button, which consists of an insulating material and that is installed in a guidance channel in the housing in a manner whereby it is capable of axial displacement. It is proposed that the housing and the actuating push button be molded in one piece during the injection molding of the plastic and that the internal wall of the guidance channel be provided with a recess in the region in which the push button is capable of axial displacement, whereby the recess serves for accommodating the material bridge that is molded onto the push-button.
Claims3
Electrical terminal
- that is capable of being actuated by means of an actuating push button, which consists of an insulating material and that, for this purpose, is inserted in a guidance channel in the terminal housing, which comprises an insulating material, and is installed in the guidance channel in a manner whereby it is capable of axial displacement
- and that, during the injection molding of the plastic, it is molded in one piece with the housing, which comprises an insulating material, in such a way that at least one thin (film-like) material bridge--with an intended break-off junction that is adjacent to the housing, which comprises an insulating material--is present between the push button and the housing, which comprises an insulating material, whereby the intended break-off junction snaps on inserting the push-button into the guidance channel, characterized by the feature
- that, in the region in which push button (8) is capable of axial displacement, internal wall (15) of the guidance channel has a recess (16) for accommodating material bridge (12) that is molded onto the push button.
