Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Steckeranschlusses, Steckeranschluss und Stecker mit Presspassung

摘要

A bent connector terminal with improved stability when held within a groove ( 23 ) of a comb-shaped, press-fit jig ( 20,22 ), the terminal aligned with a hole ( 32 ) of a printed circuit board ( 30 ) and to be press-fitted into the hole. In one embodiment, at least one widened portion ( 12 e) is formed on the connector terminal between a tip flange part ( 12 b) and a swelled or widened part ( 12 c), the widening of the part ( 12 c) caused by bending of the connector terminal. The widened portion ( 12 e) and the swelled part ( 12 c) serve to stabilize the connector terminal within the groove ( 23 ) of the press-fit jig as the jig is used to press on the tip flange part ( 12 b). In another embodiment, the connector terminal includes notches ( 12 d) at the location where the connector terminal is to be bent, to compensate for widening caused by the bending step so that no swelled or broadened area is produced at this region. In this embodiment, since no widening is produced at the bent region the press-fit jig grooves may be narrowed so that the bent connector terminal is supported evenly between the bend and the flange part ( 12 b) and stability is improved.
