Abstract
The invention relates to a plug (11) for terminal blocks in telecommunications and data system equipment, comprising a lower part (1) and an upper part (12) of plastic, which are interconnected, and at least one contact element (5), which can be inserted into a tapping contact of a terminal block, with the lower part (1) being made longer than the upper part (12) and having galvanically metallized structures, which form at least the contact element (5) and extend as far as the lower edge (9) of the lower part (1), and also a method for its production.
Claims17
A plug for terminal blocks in telecommunications and data system equipment, the plug comprising a lower part of plastic and an upper part of plastic, the lower part and the upper part being interconnected and the lower part being longer than the upper part and formed from a unitary piece of plastic, and the plug further including at least one contact element, which can be inserted into a tapping contact of a terminal block, with the at least one contact element formed on the lower part, the plug further including galvanically metallized structures, which form at least the contact element and extend as far as a lower edge of the lower part.
A plug for terminal blocks in telecommunications and data system equipment, the plug comprising:
- a first plastic piece;
- a second plastic piece interconnected to the first plastic piece to form a housing, the housing including an interior, the second plastic piece including an insertion portion extending beyond the first plastic piece and configured to be inserted into a terminal block;
- a printed circuit board positioned within the interior and electrically connected to a plurality of cylinder pins extending from the second plastic piece within the interior;
- and
- a plurality of galvanically metallized contact elements directly formed on the second plastic piece and at least partially on the insertion portion extending beyond the first plastic piece, the plurality of galvanically metalized contact elements connecting to the plurality of cylinder pins and extending to an edge of the insertion portion of the second plastic piece.
A plug for terminal blocks in telecommunications and data system equipment, the plug comprising:
- a first unitary plastic piece;
- a second unitary plastic piece interconnected to the first plastic piece to form a housing, the housing including an interior, the second plastic piece including an insertion portion extending beyond the first plastic piece and configured to be inserted into a terminal block;
- a printed circuit board positioned within the interior and electrically connected at a plurality of metalized holes in the printed circuit board to a plurality of cylinder pins extending from the second plastic piece within the interior;
- and
- a plurality of galvanically metallized contact elements directly formed on the second plastic piece and at least partially on the insertion portion extending beyond the first plastic piece, the plurality of galvanically metalized contact elements connecting to the plurality of cylinder pins and extending to an edge of the insertion portion of the second plastic piece to form contact elements, each contact element including a bevel at the edge.
