Abstract
For the purpose of high frequency effective insulation for gaps in the enclosure of electronic devices, a plate 1 is proposed that shows a groove 9 on at least one of its narrow sides 7, 8. In this groove 9 is a spring element 2 with its attached leaf clip 12. Attached on the leaf clip 12 is a right-angled leaf spring 13, with a base piece 21 and a contact piece 22. The contact piece 22 is bent back on itself and bears a contact fin 29, which makes contact with the corresponding contact piece of a neighboring prefabricated component.
Claims13
A prefabricated component for electronic enclosures with a metal plate, and at least one electric contact producing spring element, which is located on the border area of the plate, characterized by the following features:
- the plate (1) includes narrow sides (7,8,) and a groove (9) on at least one of its narrow sides (7,8), wherein the groove (9) extends parallel to the edges (10,11) of the narrow sides (7,8),
- the spring element (2) includes a leaf clip (12) and a leaf spring (13),
- wherein the leaf clip (12) and the leaf spring (13) are at right angles to one another,
- the leaf clip (12) engages and is retained in the groove (9),
- wherein the leaf spring (13) has a level base piece (21) and at least one contact piece (22) bent back on itself, wherein the base piece (21) stands parallel to the narrow side (7,8) and
- the contact piece (22) extends over the plate.
