Abstract
A connection member for a fluid line (2) defining a fluid duct (5) with stranded signal conductors (7a and 7b) in the wall (4) thereof for the transmission of electrical signals. The connection member has a female socket into which the fluid line (2) may be inserted and in which at least one signal contact (26a and 26b) is arranged, which at the end may stick into the at least one signal conductor (7a and 7b). The penetrating part (27) is constituted by a knife edge (27a) whose width is equal to the diameter of the signal conductor (7a and 7b) to be contacted and which splits the signal conductor 7a and 7b) on penetration from the end into an outer and an inner line limb.
Claims18
A connection member for a fluid line containing a fluid duct, in whose wall at least one stranded signal conductor provided for the transmission of electrical signals extends, comprising a female socket, having an insertion opening, for the insertion of the fluid line, a holding device disposed in said female socket for holding the inserted fluid line and at least one signal contact arranged in the female socket and extending toward the insertion opening, said signal contact having a male part adapted to stick into a signal conductor on insertion of the fluid line with the production of an electrical connection, wherein the male part of the at least one signal contact is constituted by a knife edge, whose width is equal to at least the diameter of the signal conductor to be contacted and which on penetration from the end is adapted to split the signal conductor into an externally placed and an internally placed line limb.
A connection member for a fluid line having a signal conductor disposed in a wall thereof the connection member comprising:
- a female socket having an insertion opening for receiving the fluid line;
- a holding device disposed in said female socket for holding the fluid line in said female socket;
- and
- a signal contact disposed in said female socket for making electrical connection with the signal conductor disposed in the wall of the fluid line, said signal contact including a knife edge having a cutting length equal to at least the diameter of the signal conductor and being adapted to split an end of the signal conductor into two separate portions upon penetration of the knife edge into the signal conductor end.
