Abstract

The plug connector system has two contact carriers (10,11) and an intermediate insulating mat (12) incorporating metal threads or wires, acting as an interconnector. The contacts of one contact carrier (10) are provided as coaxial rings, coupled to the counter-contacts of the second contact carrier (11) via the conductive threads or wires incorporated in the insulating mat (12), upon application of a mechanical press, independent of their relative positions. USE - For connections between hearing aid and programming device, or other external appts., e.g. TV receiver, microphone or IR remote control.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Bekannt sind elektrische Steckverbindungen (z. B. Klein- Mehrfachsteckverbindungen der Serie MAB der Fa. Hirschmann oder Connector Typ CS 43/CS 45 der Fa. Microtronic u. a.), die eine Verbindung über eine galvanische Schnittstelle, wie z. B. Steckerstifte und -buchsen, herstellen. Derartige Steckverbindungen setzen allerdings - je nach Funktionsweise - ein definiertes Zusammenstecken der beiden Steckelemente in der Lage und Tiefe voraus, um sicherzustellen, daß elektrisch zusammengehörende Steckerstifte und -buchsen nicht verwechselt werden.Electrical plug connections (e.g. small Multiple plug connections of the MAB series from Hirschmann or Connector type CS 43 / CS 45 from Microtronic u. a.), the one Connection via a galvanic interface, e.g. B. Manufacture plug pins and sockets. Such However, depending on how it works, plug connections a defined connection of the two plug elements in the Location and depth ahead to ensure that electrical matching plug pins and sockets are not confused will.

Aufgabetask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Steckverbindersystem zu entwickeln, bei dem die Steckverbinderteile unabhängig von ihrer gegenseitigen Lage elektrisch gekuppelt werden.The invention is based on the object To develop connector system in which the Connector parts regardless of their mutual position be electrically coupled.

Lösungsolution

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in A.1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Damit ist der Vorteil verbunden, daß die Steckverbinderteile gegeneinander beliebig verdreht gesteckt werden können.This object is achieved by the features specified in A.1. This has the advantage that the connector parts can be twisted against each other as desired.

Beschreibungdescription

Das erfindungsgemäße Steckverbindersystem umfaßt, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, zwei Kontaktträger 10/11 und eine mit Metallspänen oder -drähten bestückte elastische Isoliermatte 12 (z. B. Interconnector Typ MAF bzw. GD der Fa. Shin Etsu) als Zwischenlage. Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, sind die Metalldrähte oder -späne der Isoliermatte rechtwinklig zu den Kontaktflächen angeordnet. Die Kontaktträger können wie in Fig. 3, 4 oder 5 dargestellt ausgebildet sein, wobei für das Steckverbindersystem nur die Kombination zwischen Fig. 3/3, 3/4, 3/5, 4/4 oder 4/5 möglich ist, um eine sichere Kontaktierung in jeder Position zu gewährleisten.The connector system according to the invention comprises, as shown in FIG. 1, two contact carriers 10/11 and an elastic insulating mat 12 (e.g. interconnector type MAF or GD from Shin Etsu) equipped with metal chips or wires. As shown in Fig. 2, the metal wires or chips of the insulating mat are arranged at right angles to the contact surfaces. The contact carriers can be designed as shown in Fig. 3, 4 or 5, wherein only the combination between Fig. 3/3, 3/4, 3/5, 4/4 or 4/5 is possible for the connector system, by one to ensure secure contacting in any position.

Einer der beiden Kontaktträger kann z. B. geräteseitig in der Gehäuseschale 13 montiert werden, der andere könnte eine Kabelverbindung 14 darstellen oder eine direkte Verbindung zu externem Zubehör, wie z. B. Mikrofon, sein. Die Isoliermatte, die letztendlich durch ihre Metalldrähte oder -späne die elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Kontaktträgern herstellt, kann wahlweise auf der einen wie auf der anderen Seite mit montiert sein. Die mechanische Verbindung der Steckverbindung sollte vorzugsweise nach dem "Druckknopfprinzip" funktionieren, vgl. Fig. 6.One of the two contact carriers can, for. B. on the device side in the housing shell 13 , the other could be a cable connection 14 or a direct connection to external accessories, such as. B. microphone. The insulating mat, which ultimately creates the electrical connection between the contact carriers through its metal wires or chips, can optionally be mounted on one side as well as on the other. The mechanical connection of the connector should preferably work according to the "push button principle", cf. Fig. 6.

Eine bevorzugte Anwendung für den erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder sind ein mit einem Hörgerät verbundendes Programmiergerät oder andere externe Geräte wie z. B. ein Fernsehgerät, ein Mikrofon oder eine Infrarot-Sende und Empfangsanlage.A preferred application for the invention Connectors are connected to a hearing aid Programming device or other external devices such. B. a TV, a microphone or an infrared transmission and Reception system.
