Verbindung für die Zündeinrichtung von Airbag-Systemen in Kraftfahrzeugen

摘要

Connector (C) with a strip connector (1) fitted with electrical components, method for the production thereof. A great deal of time and effort is required to achieve a compact design in known connectors fitted with a metal strip connector. Nonetheless, most connectors remain bulky. Fitting such a connector with electrically functioning components is extremely complex. A more compact arrangement (1) with reduced structural dimensions is achieved by providing a connector (C) with a flat strip connector design featuring a window-shaped opening (4) which is unidirectionally and vertically connected to a connector area (C, A). Said area accommodates both the first plug (SI) and the second plug (SI) coming from the opposite direction via the window-shaped opening of the strip connector. Pin-like tongues are bent off from the strip connector in the form of connector pins (2.1, 2.2) for the connector area (C, A). The bent-off connector pins and the connector strip are preferably fixed by means of a plastic extrusion coating (5). Socket contacts (7) which are connected to the strip connector, are arranged in the connection area in insulated chambers, and are provided for the pin-shaped contact elements (11, 34.2) on the connectors. The invention further relates to the use of said connector in ignition devices for vehicle air bag systems.
