Definitions
- the invention relates to a printed circuit board terminal arrangement consisting of functional terminals such as disconnect and fuse terminals and conductor connection terminals.
- functional terminals such as disconnect and fuse terminals and conductor connection terminals.
- all function terminals such as, for example, disconnect terminals and fuse terminals, are also provided with their own conductor connection.
- disconnect terminals and fuse terminals are also provided with their own conductor connection.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leiterplattenklemmanordnung, bestehend aus Funktionsklemmen wie beispielsweise Trenn- und Sicherungsklemmen sowie Leiteranschlußklemmen. Bei den bekannten Leiterplattenklemmenanordnungen sind neben den separaten Leiteranschlußklemmen auch alle Funktionsklemmen wie beispielsweise Trennklemmen und Sicherungsklemmen, mit einem eigenen Leiteranschluß versehen. Sie sind zwar insoweit beliebig kombinierbar und zu Blöcken anzuordnen und mit der Leiterplatte zu verbinden, doch führt eine solche Anordnung zu einem außerordentlich platz- und kostenintensiven Aufbau. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Leiterplattenklemmenanordnung zu schaffen, die alle gewünschten Anordnungskombinationen mit erheblich verringertem konstruktiven Aufwand sowie mit erheblicher Platzersparnis ermöglicht.The invention relates to a printed circuit board terminal arrangement consisting of functional terminals such as disconnect and fuse terminals and conductor connection terminals. In the known circuit board terminal arrangements, in addition to the separate conductor connection terminals, all function terminals, such as, for example, disconnect terminals and fuse terminals, are also provided with their own conductor connection. In this respect, they can be combined as desired and arranged in blocks and connected to the printed circuit board, but such an arrangement leads to an extremely space-consuming and costly construction. The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a printed circuit board terminal arrangement which enables all desired arrangement combinations to be carried out with significantly reduced design complexity and with considerable space savings.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht darin, daß die Funktionsklemmen leiteranschlußlos gehalten sind, ihre Gehäuse mit denen der Leiteranschlußklemmen sowie auch untereinander mechanisch verbindbar sind und sie elektrisch mit den Leiteranschlüssen der Anschlußklemmen über Leiterbahnen der Leiterplatte und/oder anderen Funktionselementen verbindbar sind.
Dank dieses Konstruktionsprinzipes ergibt sich ein Leiterplattenklemmensystem, bei dem die Funktionsklemmen keine eigenen Leiteranschlüsse mehr haben. Sie lassen sich damit erheblich kostengünstiger herstellen und haben auch einen deutlich verringerten Raumbedarf.The solution according to the invention consists in that the function terminals are kept without a conductor connection, their housings can be mechanically connected to those of the conductor connection terminals and also with one another, and they can be electrically connected to the conductor connections of the connection terminals via conductor tracks of the circuit board and / or other functional elements.
Thanks to this design principle, there is a circuit board terminal system in which the function terminals no longer have their own conductor connections. This means that they can be manufactured considerably more cost-effectively and also require significantly less space.
Zwar sind bei diesem System grundsätzlich immer zwei Klemmen erforderlich,nämlich neben der Funktionsklemme eine Anschlußklemme, doch führt das System aus den genannten Gründen bei der üblichen Blockbildung aus einer Vielzahl von Funktions- und Leiteranschlußklemmen im Endergebnis zu einer außerordentlichen Kosteneinsparung bei deutlich verringertem Raumbedarf. Über die Vielzahl mechanischer Verbindungen zwischen den Gehäusen der verschiedenen Klemmentypen kommt es innerhalb größerer Blockanordnungen zu einer hohen Gestaltfestigkeit des Blockes. Hervorzuheben ist insbesondere auch, daß es durch die Benutzung der Leiterbahnen der Leiterplatte für die elektrische Verbindung insbesondere zwischen den Funktionsklemmen und den Leiteranschlußklemmen zu einer außerordentlich hohen Anzahl von Lötverbindungspunkten zwischen dem Klemmenblock und der Leiterplatte kommt, so daß eine derartige BLockanordnung auch einen außerordentlich sicheren Halt auf der Leiterplatte hat. Es sind im Grunde genommen beliebige Kombinationen innerhalb der Blockanordnung zu verwirklichen. So ist es insbesondere auch im Bedarfsfall problemlos möglich, eine Funktionsklemme mit der Leiteranschlußklemme auf dem Weg über eine weitere Funktionsklemme zu verbinden, also insoweit eine zweckmäßige Reihenschaltung der Funktionsklemmen untereinander unter Inanspruchnahme nur einer Leiteranschlußklemme zu verwirklichen.In principle, two terminals are always required in this system, namely a connection terminal in addition to the function terminal, but for the reasons mentioned above, the system leads to extraordinary cost savings with significantly reduced space requirements in the usual block formation from a large number of function and conductor connection terminals. The large number of mechanical connections between the housings of the different types of terminals results in a high structural strength of the block within larger block arrangements. It should also be emphasized in particular that the use of the conductor tracks of the printed circuit board for the electrical connection, in particular between the functional terminals and the conductor connecting terminals, leads to an extraordinarily high number of solder connection points between the terminal block and the printed circuit board, so that such a block arrangement also provides an extraordinarily secure hold on the circuit board. Basically, any combinations within the block arrangement can be realized. In particular, it is easily possible, if necessary, to connect a function terminal to the conductor connection terminal on the way via a further function terminal, that is to say, in this respect to implement a suitable series connection of the function terminals with one another using only one conductor connection terminal.
Das neue Klemmensystem ermöglicht es auch problemlos für den Klemmenhersteller, dem Anwender auf dessen Wunsch hin entsprechend vorgefertigte zusammengesetzte Klemmenblöcke zur Verfügung zu stellen.The new terminal system also makes it easy for the terminal manufacturer to provide the user with prefabricated, assembled terminal blocks on request.
Es ist hervorzuheben, daß , wenn vorstehend von Leiteranschlußklemmen gesprochen wird, hierunter auch handelsübliche vorgefertigte Leiteranschlußklemmenleisten vorbestimmter Polzahl zu verstehen sind.It should be emphasized that if the term “conductor connection terminals” is used above, this also includes commercially available prefabricated conductor connection terminal strips with a predetermined number of poles.
In weiterer sehr zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung sind die Gehäuse der Funktionsklemmen allseitig mit den Verbindungselementen für die mechanische Gehäuseverbindung versehen. Die Funktionsklemmen können somit nicht nur mit den Leiteranschlußklemmen verblockt werden, sondern auch in beliebiger Anordnung untereinander, sei es nun nebeneinander oder hintereinander. Einzelne Leiteranschlußklemmen sind dabei zweckmäßig, mit Ausnahme der Leiteranschlußseite, dreiseitig mit den Verbindungselementen versehen, um jede gewünschte Kombination, auch bezüglich der Raumlagen der Klemmen zueinander, verwirklichen zu können.In a further very expedient embodiment, the housings of the functional terminals are provided on all sides with the connecting elements for the mechanical housing connection. The function terminals can thus not only be blocked with the conductor connection terminals, but also in any arrangement with one another, be it side by side or one behind the other. Individual conductor connection terminals are expedient, with the exception of the conductor connection side, provided on three sides with the connecting elements in order to be able to implement any desired combination, also with respect to the spatial positions of the terminals to one another.

Als ein Element einer Leiterplattenklemmenanordnung ist in Figur 1 zunächst eine Leiteranschlußklemme 1a in Form eines dreipoligen Leistenstückes illustriert. Die Leiteranschlußklemme 1a hat bis auf die Leiteranschlußseite auf allen drei anderen Seiten mechanische Verbindungselemente zur Verbindung mit den Gehäusen weiterer Klemmen für die zu bildende Klemmenanordnung, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel Schwalbenschwanzstege 2 und/oder entsprechende Schwalbenschwanznuten 3. Es versteht sich, daß abweichend von dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel die Leiteranschlußklemme 1a auch aus einzelnen Anschlußklemmenelementen zusammengesetzt sein könnte, wie es beispielsweise in Figur 2 im Zusammenhang mit einem anderen Typ einer anderen Leiteranschlußklemme illustriert ist.As an element of a printed circuit board terminal arrangement, a
Als Beispiel für eine Funktionsklemme im Rahmen der hier betroffenen Leiterplattenklemmenanordnung ist eine Sicherungsklemme 4 dargestellt. Die Sicherungsklemme 4 hat an ihrem Gehäuse auf allen vier Seiten mechanische Verbindungselemente, wiederum als Schwalbenschwanzstege und/oder Schwalbenschwanznuten 2, 3.A
In Figur 2 ist illustriert, daß die Leiteranschlußklemme 1b auch eine Doppelstockklemme sein kann, die entweder wieder als Leistenstück bestimmter Polzahl ausgebildet ist, oder aber, wie dargestellt, aus Einzelementen zusammengefügt ist. In Figur 2 ist ferner als Funktionsklemme eine Trennklemme 5 illustriert, die ebenfalls allseitig mit mechanischen Verbindungselementen an ihrem Gehäuse, im Ausführungsbeispiel wiederum in Form schwalbenschwanzförmiger Stege und Schwalbenschwanznuten 2, 3, versehen ist.In FIG. 2 it is illustrated that the conductor connection terminal 1b can also be a double-level terminal, which is either again designed as a strip of a certain number of poles or, as shown, is assembled from individual elements. FIG. 2 also illustrates a
Die Figuren 3 und 4 illustrieren unterschiedliche Leiterplattenklemmenanordnungen gemäß der Erfindung, wobei in Figur 3 eine Leiteranschlußklemme 1a in Leistenform bestimmter Polzahl sowohl mit einer Sicherungsklemme 4 wie mit einer Trennklemme 5 kombiniert ist. In Figur 4 ist eine Leiteranschlußklemme 1b in Form einer elementweise zusammengesetzten zweistöckigen Klemme wiederum mit einer Sicherungsklemme 4 sowie einer Trennklemme 5 zusammengefügt. Es sind dabei aus Gründen der klareren Darstellungsweise lediglich nur eine Sicherungsklamme 4 und eine Trennklemme 5 dargestellt. Im Rahmen des Blocksystemes ist die Hinzufügung zahlreicher Funktionsklemmen, die dann auch untereinander mechanisch über die seitlichen mechanischen Verbindungselemente gehäusemäßig verblockt werden können, möglich. Die verblockten Klemmen insgesamt befinden sich auf einer Leiterplatte 6, deren Leiterbahnen für die elektrische Verbindung der Leiteranschlüsse in den Leiteranschlußklemmen 1a, 1b mit den mit Strom zu beaufschlagenden Elementen in den Trenn- und Sicherungsklemmen 4, 5 benutzt werden.FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate different circuit board terminal arrangements according to the invention, wherein in FIG. 3 a
Diese Art der elektrischen und mechanischen Verknüpfung ist in der Illustrationsskizze der Figur 5 erläutert. Im oberen Teil der Darstellung ist beispielsweise eine Leiteranschlußklemme 1a, die zweipolig ausgebildet ist, auf ihrer Rückseite unmittelbar mit einer Sicherungsklemme 4 kombiniert, mit der wiederum auf ihrer Rückseite eine Trennklemme 5 kombiniert ist. Mechanisch geschieht dies über die mechanischen Verbindungselemente an den Gehäusen, die auf allen denkbaren Kombinationsflächen vorgesehen sind. Elektrisch kann hier eine Reihenschaltung derart vorgenommen werden, daß man über eine Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte einen der Leiteranschlüsse der Leiteranschlußklemme 1a mit der Sicherungsklemme 4 verbindet, während man diese dann über einen weiteren Leiterbahnabschnitt mit der Trennklemme 5 verbindet. Der zweite Pol der Leiteranschlußklemme 1a kann dann anderweitig genutzt werden. Im unteren Teil der Darstellung der Figur 5 ist der Anwendungsfall illustriert, daß eine gesonderte Beschaltung der Sicherungsklemme 4 und der Trennklemme 5 gewünscht ist. Man nimmt dann beispielsweise eine dreipolige Leiteranschlußklemme 1a, verknüpft diese auf ihrer gesamten Rückseite mit der Sicherungsklemme 4 und der Trennklemme 5, wobei nun die Trennklemme 5 nicht hinter, sondern neben der Sicherungsklemme 4 steckt. Die beiden Funktionsklemmen können gehäusemäßig über die mechanischen Verbindungselemente verblockt werden. Elektrisch werden über entsprechende Leiterbahnen der Leiterplatte zwei Leiteranschlüsse der Leiteranschlußklemme 1a mit der Sicherungsklemme 4 verbunden, während ein Leiteranschluß der Leiteranschlußklemme 1a mit der Trennklemme 5 verbunden wird.This type of electrical and mechanical connection is explained in the illustration sketch in FIG. 5. In the upper part of the illustration, for example, a
Die für die Leiterplattenklemmenanordnung benötigten einzelnen Klemmentypen können vom Hersteller dem Anwender entweder zu dessen freier Kombination zur Verfügung gestellt, oder aber auf Wunsch in vorgefertigten Blockanordnungen kombiniert geliefert werden, wobei in letzterem Fall der Anwender nur noch den Block in die Leiterplatte einzufügen und die entsprechenden Lötstellen für die elektrische Verknüpfung zu setzen hat.The individual terminal types required for the PCB terminal block arrangement can either be made available to the user by the manufacturer for their free combination, or can be supplied combined in prefabricated block arrangements, in which case the user only has to insert the block into the circuit board and the corresponding solder joints for the electrical connection.
Mit dem illustrierten und beschriebenen Klemmenanordnungssystem sind auch ohne weiteres weitere Bauelemente kombinierbar, soweit diese dann gehäusemäßig für die mechanische Verknüpfung ausgestaltet sind und im übrigen zum Aufsetzen auf und Verbinden mit einer Leiterplatte ausgelegt sind. Zu denken ist beispielsweise an die Möglichkeit zusätzlicher Kontrollen durch die Anknüpfung von Anzeigebausteinen und dergleichen.With the illustrated and described terminal arrangement system, further components can also be combined without further ado, insofar as these are then designed for mechanical connection in the housing and are otherwise designed to be placed on and connected to a printed circuit board. One example is the possibility of additional controls by connecting display modules and the like.
