Abstract
A hookup stem (48; 70) to implement an electric hookup (50; 60) of an electric heater of an injection molding nozzle (30), the hookup stem (48; 70) being designed in a manner that it can be affixed by means of at least one electrically conducting adhesion layer (52; 62; 64; 66) and/or by a contact paste (52) to the heater, the hookup stem comprising a shank element (54; 72), and a connecting segment (56; 74) coming into contact with the minimum of one adhesion layer (52; 62; 64; 66) or the contact paste (52).
Claims9
An injection nozzle (30) heated by an electric heater and comprising an electric hookup (50;
- 60) being fitted with a hookup stem (48;
- 70), where
- (a) the heater is a thick film heater comprising a dielectric layer (42), and a heating conductor track (44) deposited on the outer surface of the dielectric layer (42),
- (b) the hookup stem (48;
- 70) comprises a shank element (54;
- 72) and a connecting segment (56;
- 74) making contact with the minimum of one adhesion layer (62;
- 64;
- 66) and/or a contact paste (52),
- (c) the connecting segment (56;
- 74) is discoid and exhibits a larger diameter than does the shank element (54;
- 72),
- (d) at least one transition element (58;
- 76) is provided between the shank element (54;
- 72) and the connecting segment (56;
- 74) and is designed in a manner that the diameter of the shank element (54;
- 72) and that of the connecting segment (56;
- 74) merge into each other step-wise or continuously,
- (e) the hookup stem (48;
- 70) is designed in a manner it may be affixed by means of at least one electrically conducting adhesion layer (62;
- 64;
- 66) and the contact paste (52) to said heater, and
- (f) at least two electrically conducting adhesion layers (62, 64, 66) are configured between the connecting segment (56;
- 74)of the hookup stem (48;
- 70) and the heater in a manner to connect them, the adhesion layers (62, 64, 66) and the contact paste (52) exhibiting different properties, different compositions and/or different adhesion layer materials,
- (g) wherein, each adhesion layer (52, 62, 64, 66) is matched to the particular directly adjacent adhesion layer (52, 62, 64, 66) and/or to a directly adjacent, electrically conducting component (44, 48;
- 62;
- 70) to produce a stable connection therebetween.
