Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Winkeladapter für ein elektrisches Bauelement, insbesondere ein Relais, mit einer der Anzahl der Anschlußstifte des Bauelementes entsprechenden Anzahl von Leiterelementen und einer gleichen Anzahl von in einem Grundkörper verankerbaren Adapteranschlußstiften.The invention relates to an angle adapter for an electrical component, in particular a relay, with a number of conductor elements corresponding to the number of connecting pins of the component and an equal number of adapter connecting pins which can be anchored in a base body.

Elektrische Bauelemente, beispielsweise Relais, besitzen vielfach ein quaderförmiges Gehäuse mit unterschiedlichen Seitenlängen. Je nach Konstruktion ergibt sich bei normalem Einbau eines solchen Bauelementes auf einer Leiterplatte eine große Grundfläche mit geringer Höhe oder eine große Höhe mit geringer Grundfläche. Um den unterschiedlichen Anforderungen in Bezug auf Bauhöhe und Grundfläche gerecht zu werden, ändert man die Einbaulage solcher Bauelemente mit Hilfe von Winkeladaptern oder Winkelsteckfassungen. Solche Adapter sind jedoch bisher in der Herstellung und auch in der Montage relativ teuer, weil im allgemeinen die Anschlußstifte des Bauelementes jeweils einzeln durch Schweißen oder dergleichen mit einem Verbindungselement verbunden werden müssen, um die elektrische Ankopplung an die Anschlußstifte des Adapters herzustellen.Electrical components, for example relays, often have a cuboid housing with different side lengths. Depending on the construction, the normal installation of such a component on a printed circuit board results in a large base with a small height or a large height with a small base. In order to meet the different requirements in terms of overall height and footprint, the installation position of such components is changed using angled adapters or angled jacks. However, such adapters have so far been relatively expensive to manufacture and assemble, because in general the connecting pins of the component each have to be connected individually by welding or the like to a connecting element in order to produce the electrical coupling to the connecting pins of the adapter.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Winkeladapter für ein elektrisches Bauelement zu schaffen, der einfach und billig herzustellen ist und bei dem die notwendigen elektrischen Verbindungen jeweils gemeinsam in einem Arbeitsgang und möglichst mechanisiert hergestellt werden können.The object of the invention is to provide an angle adapter for an electrical component that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and in which the necessary electrical connections can be made together in one operation and as mechanically as possible.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Winkeladapter der eingangs erwähnten Art dadurch gelöst, daß der aus Isolierstoff bestehende Grundkörper eine Trägerplatte für das Bauelement sowie eine Anschlußleiste zur Aufnahme der Adapteranschlußstifte bildet, und daß die Verbindungselemente als Leiterbahnen einer flexiblen Leiterplatte ausgebildet sind, welche an ihren Enden jeweils Durchbrüche für die Adapteranschlußstifte bzw. für die Anschlußstifte des Bauelementes aufweist.According to the invention, this object is achieved with an angle adapter of the type mentioned at the outset in that the base body, which is made of insulating material, forms a carrier plate for the component and a connecting strip for receiving the adapter connecting pins, and in that the connecting elements are designed as conductor tracks of a flexible printed circuit board, which at their ends each has openings for the adapter pins or for the pins of the component.

Der erfindungsgemäße Winkeladapter besteht also aus einem Grundkörper und einer flexiblen Leiterplatte. Dadurch ergibt sich eine einfache Herstellung und Montage, wobei die Verbindungen der Anschlußstifte mit der Leiterplatte weitgehend automatisiert etwa in einem Lötbad hergestellt werden können. Um eine große Zahl von Bauelementanschlüssen adaptieren zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, eine doppelt kaschierte Leiterplatte zu verwenden. Die zur elektrischen Verbindung dienenden Leiterbahnen verlaufen dann teils auf der einen, teils auf der anderen Seite der Leiterplatte.The angle adapter according to the invention thus consists of a base body and a flexible printed circuit board. This results in simple manufacture and assembly, the connections of the connecting pins to the printed circuit board being able to be produced largely automatically, for example in a solder bath. In order to be able to adapt a large number of component connections, it is advisable to use a double-laminated circuit board. The conductor tracks used for the electrical connection then run partly on one side and partly on the other side of the circuit board.

Die Adapteranschlußstifte können fest im Grundkörper verankert sein, beispielsweise durch Einspritzen. Es ist aber auch möglich, sie zunächst mit einer flexiblen Leiterplatte zu verbinden und dann in Durchbrüche des Grundkörpers einzustecken. Die Anschlußleiste zur Aufnahme der Adapteranschlußstifte kann im Bereich der Trägerplatte vorgesehen sein. In diesem Fall liegen also die Anschlußstifte direkt unter dem Bauelement, so daß die Grundfläche des Bauelements durch den Adapter nicht vergrößert wird.The adapter connecting pins can be firmly anchored in the base body, for example by injection. However, it is also possible to first connect them to a flexible printed circuit board and then insert them into openings in the base body. The terminal block for receiving the adapter pins can be provided in the area of the carrier plate. In this case, the connection pins are located directly under the component, so that the base area of the component is not enlarged by the adapter.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist die Anschlußleiste in Verlängerung der Trägerplatte angeordnet und mit dieser beispielsweise durch angeformte Filmbandscharniere verbunden. In weiterer Verlängerung der Anschlußleiste kann der Grundkörper weitere, jeweils über Filmbandscharniere verbundene Abdeckleisten besitzen, welche über die Anschlußleiste geklappt werden können und als Berührungsschutz den Adapteranschlußraum abdecken. Das letzte Abdeckelement kann dabei mit einem an der Trägerplatte ausgebildeten Haltesteg verbunden sein. Zur Befestigung ist in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform vorgesehen, daß das Abdeckelement einen Durchbruch aufweist, mit dem es nach dem Druckknopfprinzip auf einen Zapfen des Haltesteges aufgesteckt werden kann.In another embodiment, the terminal strip is arranged in the extension of the carrier plate and connected to it, for example, by molded-on film hinges. In a further extension of the connection strip, the base body can have additional cover strips, each connected via film hinges, which can be folded over the connection strip and cover the adapter connection space as protection against contact. The last cover element can be connected to a retaining web formed on the carrier plate. In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided for fastening that the cover element has an opening with which it can be pushed onto a pin of the retaining web according to the push-button principle.

An der Trägerplatte des Adapters können zusätzliche Halteelemente, etwa in Form von seitlichen Lappen, vorgesehen sein, welche dem aufgesetzten Bauelement einen zusätzlichen Halt geben. Diese seitlichen Lappen sind beispielsweise mit Rastzähnen versehen, welche an der Oberkante oder in seitlichen Ausnehmungen der Bauelementschutzkappe einrasten.Additional holding elements, for example in the form of lateral tabs, can be provided on the carrier plate of the adapter, which give the attached component an additional hold. These side tabs are provided, for example, with locking teeth which snap into place on the top edge or in the side recesses of the component protection cap.

Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden nachfolgend an Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben.Further details of the invention are described below using exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing.

Dabei besitzt der Adaptergrundkörper 10 gemäß Fig.3 eine Trägerplatte 11, eine im Anschluß an die Trägerplatte angeordnete Anschlußleiste 12 mit eingespritzten Adapter-Anschlußstiften 13 sowie drei Abdeckleisten 14, 15 und 16. Alle diese Teile des Grundkörpers sind jeweils über Filmbandscharniere 25 miteinander verbunden; der gesamte Grundkörper 10 ist also in einem Stück aus Kunststoff gespritzt. Die Trägerplatte 11 besitzt seitliche Lappen 17, welche das Bauelement 1 umfassen und mit einrastbaren Nasen 18 halten. Außerdem ist ein Haltearm 19 vorgesehen, der bei der Montage mit der äußer- sten Abdeckleiste 16 verbunden wird. Zu diesem Zweck besitzt der Haltearm 19 einen Zapfen 20, auf welchen die Abdeckleiste 16 mittels eines Durchbruches 21 nach dem Druckknopfprinzip aufgesteckt werden kann.Another embodiment is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The adapter base body 10 according to FIG. 3 has a carrier plate 11, a terminal strip 12 arranged in connection with the carrier plate with injected adapter terminal pins 13 and three cover strips 14, 15 and 16. All of these Parts of the base body are each connected to one another via film hinges 25; the entire base body 10 is thus injection molded in one piece from plastic. The carrier plate 11 has lateral tabs 17 which encompass the component 1 and hold them with snap-in lugs 18. In addition, a support arm 19 is provided, which during assembly with the outer - is connected sten cover strip sixteenth For this purpose, the holding arm 19 has a pin 2 0 , on which the cover strip 16 can be attached by means of an opening 21 according to the push button principle.

Die Montage ist anhand der Fig.2 zu sehen. Dabei wird zunächst das Bauelement 1 auf die Trägerplatte11 aufgesetzt und die Halteleiste 12 mit den Abdeckleisten 14, 15 und 16 in einer Ebene mit der Anschlußseite des Bauelementes ausgerichtet (in der Zeichnung angedeutet durch die gestrichelt gezeichneten Teile). Eine flexible Leiterplatte 22, die vorzugsweise doppelt kaschiert ist, wird dann flach auf den Adaptergrundkörper aufgelegt und auf die Anschlußstifte 2 des Bauelements 1 sowie auf die Adapteranschlußstifte 13 aufgesteckt. Alle Verbindungsstellen befinden sich in einer Ebene, so daß sowohl die Bauelementanschlüsse als auch die Adapteranschlüsse in einem Arbeitsgang durch Einschwallen verlötet werden können. Dann wird der Adapter in Richtung des Pfeiles 23 umgeklappt, so daß die Anschlußleiste 12 in die Einbauebene gelangt, während die Abdeckleisten 14,15 und 16 den Anschlußraum nach oben abschließen. Die Abdeckleiste 16 wird auf den Haltearm 19 aufgesteckt. Die Fig.4 zeigt in einer Detailansicht die Verbindungsstelle zwischen dem Zapfen 2o und dem Durchbruch 21. Dieser Durchbruch besitzt deformierbare Rippen 23, mit denen die Abdeckleiste 16 kraftschlüssig am Zapfen 2o befestigt wird.The assembly is shown in Fig.2. First, the component 1 is placed on the support plate 11 and the retaining strip 12 with the cover strips 14, 15 and 16 aligned in one plane with the connection side of the component (indicated in the drawing by the parts shown in broken lines). A flexible printed circuit board 22, which is preferably double-clad, is then placed flat on the adapter base body and plugged onto the connection pins 2 of the component 1 and onto the adapter connection pins 13. All connection points are on one level, so that both the component connections and the adapter connections can be soldered in one step by swelling. Then the adapter is folded in the direction of arrow 23, so that the terminal block 12 reaches the installation level, while the cover strips 14, 15 and 16 close off the terminal compartment. The cover strip 16 is placed on the holding arm 19. 4 shows a detailed view of the connection point between the pin 2o and the opening 21. This opening has deformable ribs 23 with which the cover strip 16 is non-positively attached to the pin 2o.

Eine geringfügig abgewandelte Ausführungsform zeigt Fig.5. Dabei ist der Adaptergrundkörper im wesentlichen genauso aufgebaut wie in Fig.3, lediglich die Adapter- anschlußstifte 13 sind in diesem Fall nicht in die Anschlußleiste 12 eingespritzt. Vielmehr werden diese zunächst mit einer flexiblen Leiterplatte 24 verbunden. Bei der Montage wird der Adaptergrundkörper mit seinen angeformten Anschluß- bzw. Abdeckleisten 12,14,15 und 16 in der einen Richtung aufgeklappt, während die flexible Leiterplatte 24 nach der anderen Richtung angeordnet ist. Die zunächst provisorisch (beispielsweise durch eine zusätzliche Papierbahn) in der flexiblen Leiterplatte 24 befestigten Adapteranschlußstifte 13 werden gemeinsam mit den Anschlußstiften 2 des Bauelementes 1 in einer Ebene eingeschwallt. Dann werden die flexible Leiterplatte 25 und die Anschluß- bzw. Abdeckleisten 12,14,15 und 16 des Adaptergrundkörpers 10 übereinandergeklappt, wobei die Adapteranschlußstifte 13 in Bohrungen der Anschlußleiste 12 eingesteckt werden. Dort können sie beispielsweise durch Verdrallen gesichert werden. Im übrigen erfolgt die Befestigung der Abdeckleisten genauso wie in Fig.2.5 shows a slightly modified embodiment. The adapter base body is constructed essentially the same way as in FIG. 3, only the adapter connecting pins 13 are not injected into the terminal strip 12 in this case. Rather, they are first connected to a flexible printed circuit board 24. During assembly, the adapter base body with its integrally formed connection or cover strips 12, 14, 15 and 16 is opened in one direction, while the flexible printed circuit board 24 is arranged in the other direction. The adapter connection pins 13, which are initially provisionally fastened (for example by an additional paper web) in the flexible printed circuit board 24, are swelled together with the connection pins 2 of the component 1 in one plane. Then the flexible circuit board 25 and the connection or cover strips 12, 14, 15 and 16 of the adapter base body 10 are folded over one another, the adapter connection pins 13 being inserted into bores in the connection strip 12. There they can be secured by swirling, for example. Otherwise, the cover strips are attached in the same way as in Fig. 2.
