Abstract
Tool, device and machine for crimping contacts 10 possibly arranged in a housing of connector 20 onto a flexible circuit 40. The tool principally has a solid block 1 provided with a plurality of stamps 3 for crimping. The device has a tool support mounted in a press 9 and an anvil 50, the tool and the anvil coming to crimp the contacts mounted in the connector onto the flexible circuit.
Claims11
A crimping tool for crimping paddles of electrical contacts onto conductive tracks of a flexible circuit, characterized in that the crimping tool has a multipoint network of crimping matrices provided by a solid block of unitary construction and having at least one flat surface on which a network of paving blocks of polygonal section and flared base is formed, the paving blocks making up the matrices, and the tool being adapted for being mounted to a press.
A crimping tool for crimping paddles of electrical contacts onto conductive tracks of a flexible circuit, characterized in that the crimping tool has a multipoint network of crimping matrices provided by a solid block having at least one flat surface on which a network of paving blocks of polygonal section and flared base is machined, the paving blocks making up the matrices, further characterized in that the solid block has the network of paving blocks disposed on two opposing parallel surfaces of the block.
A crimping tool for crimping paddles of electrical contacts onto conductive tracks of a flexible circuit, characterized in that the crimping tool has a multipoint network of crimping matrices provided by a solid block having at least one facing surface on which a network of paving blocks of polygonal section and flared base is machined, the paving blocks making up the matrices, further characterized in that the solid block has holes parallel to the at least one facing surface and another facing surface of the block, in a plane median to the two facing surfaces, the holes receiving shafts for holding and guiding the block, the shafts being joined to the solid block with a support that is in turn joined with a piston of a crimping press.
A crimping device for contacts onto a flexible circuit, comprising an anvil forming a lower support surface for electrical contact elements, a mobile pressing device being arranged facing the anvil and provided with a solid block with a surface parallel to a plane of alignment of the contacts, the surface having a plurality of crimping matrices made up of paving blocks each with a terminal polygonal section, wherein the solid block has supports formed on another surface of the solid block for mounting the solid block to a piston of the mobile pressing device, the other surface forming an angle with the surface having a plurality of crimping materials.
