Abstract

A plug connector for supplying power to an electrical load, in particular a lamp, includes a contact spring for electrical connection to a contact blade, a contact blade for electrical connection to a contact spring, and includes a conductor connection for connection of a connection line, wherein the contact spring and the contact blade have a substantially identical insertion direction.

Claims (17)

1 . A plug connector for supplying power to an electrical load, in particular a lamp, comprising a contact spring for electrical connection to a contact blade, a contact blade for electrical connection to a contact spring, and comprising a conductor connection for connection of a connection line, whereby the contact spring and the contact blade have a substantially identical insertion direction.

2 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contact spring and the contact blade run approximately parallel to one another and are formed opposite the conductor connection.

3 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contact spring has two spring tabs which are situated opposite one another and which form an accommodation region, in which the contact blade can be clamped, with a rear wall of the contact spring.

4 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the spring tabs are bent inward in such a way that edge sections of the spring tabs run approximately perpendicular to the rear wall of the accommodation region

5 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein edge sections of the spring tabs are bent toward one another and, at least in sections, run approximately parallel to the rear wall of the accommodation region.

6 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the spring tabs are arranged on that side of the contact spring which faces or is averted from the contact blade.

7 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least sections of the spring tabs are of curved design.

8 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contact spring and the contact blade have a common connecting section.

9 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contact blade is of approximately plate-like design and has a substantially rectangular base area.

10 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection line is connected to the conductor connection by means of a crimped, welded and/or soldered connection.

11 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the conductor connection has at least one wire claw for making electrical contact with a stripped end of the connection line.

12 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the conductor connection has at least one insulation-displacement contact (IDC).

13 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductor connection has at least one insulation claw which surrounds a circumferential section of the insulation sheath of the connection line.

14 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contact blade, the contact spring and the conductor connection are of integral design.

15 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said plug connector is embodied as a stamped and bent sheet-metal part.

16 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said plug connector is associated with a lamp having a cable connection, in particular a lamp for airfield illumination.

17 . The plug connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the contact spring has two spring tabs which are situated opposite one another and which form an accommodation region, in which the contact blade can be clamped, with a rear wall of the contact spring.
