Bei einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen ergibt sich insbesondere, daß bestimmte Schaltungsteile der Datenbusplatinen kurzgeschlossen werden sollen, sobald eine externe Steuerungskomponente durch Entfernen der üblicherweise benutzten Messer-Leistenverbinder entkoppelt wurde. Dieser Kurzschluß konnte bislang z. B. durch Messerleisten realisiert werden, die anstelle des die Verbindung mit der externen Steuerungskomponente herstellenden Leistenverbinders an die Platine angesetzt werden und besondere Kurzschlußleitungen zwischen den einzelnen Messerkontakten enthalten.In a large number of applications, that certain circuit parts of the data bus boards should be short-circuited as soon as one external control component by removing the commonly used knife-rail connector was decoupled. This short circuit has so far z. B. realized by male connectors that instead of the connection with the external control component producing strip connector to the board be applied and special short-circuit lines included between the individual knife contacts.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Schalterstecker für einen Leistenverbinder an elektronischen Schaltungen, insbesondere für Datenbusplatinen, anzugeben, der automatisch eine Kurzschlußbrükke jeweils zwischen mindestens zwei Anschlüssen der elektronischen Schaltung aufbaut, sobald die Messerleiste, die entsprechend eine Verbindung z. B. zu einer externen Steuerungskomponente herstellt, entfernt wird.The object of the present invention is a Switch connector for a strip connector on electronic Circuits, in particular for data bus boards, to specify the automatically a short circuit bridge in each case between at least two connections of the electronic circuit builds up once the male header, the corresponding a connection z.

In Fig. 1a ist die Seitenansicht eines Steckverbinders entsprechend der Norm DIN 41612 ausschnittsweise dargestellt. Der Leistenkörper 1 nimmt die starren Kontaktstifte 2 auf, die zu dem externen Anschluß führen. Die Kontaktstifte 2 stehen in elektrischer Verbindung mit den im Grundkörper 11 eingesetzten Buchsen 21. Der aus Kunststoffmaterial gefertigte Grundkorper 11 wird mit den Stützelementen 4 am Leistenkörper 1 angeordnet. Die Halterungs- und Führungselemente 3 entsprechen den bekannten Funktionsteilen zur Fixierung der Buchsen 21, die durch die trichterförmigen Öffnungen 5 die Messerkontakte (nicht eingezeichnet) zur Verbindung mit einer externen Schaltung aufnehmen. Ein Steckverbinder entsprechend der ausschnittsweisen Darstellung ist in der Regel mit 96 Kontakten bestückt.In Fig. 1a is the side view of a connector In sections according to the DIN 41612 standard shown. The groin body 1 takes the rigid Contact pins 2, which lead to the external connection. The contact pins 2 are in electrical connection with the sockets used in the base body 11 21. The basic body made of plastic material 11 is with the support elements 4 on the last body 1 arranged. The bracket and guide elements 3 correspond to the known functional parts for fixation of the sockets 21 through the funnel-shaped openings 5 the knife contacts (not shown) for Connect to an external circuit. A connector according to the detail The representation is usually equipped with 96 contacts.

Die Buchsen 21 weisen in Längsrichtung gemäß Fig. 1b (Schnitt entlang der Linie A-B in Fig. 1a) ein U-förmiges Profil auf, auf dessen Boden im Bereich der Einpreßzone unterhalb der trichterförmigen Öffnungen 5 jeweils ein Paar federnder Elemente 211, 212 angebracht ist, das der federnden Aufnahme der gesteckten Messerkontakte dient. Entsprechend dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Schalterstekkers ist jeweils ein Blatt 211 der federnden Elemente 211, 212 durch die Ausbildung von Schaltfahnen 41 derart verlängert, daß sich die Schaltfahnen im Bereich zwischen den Einpreßzonen der beiden Buchsen überlappen. Somit werden die im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Kontaktelemente 31 durch die federnden Elemente 211, 212 und die Schaltfahnen 41 gebildet.The sockets 21 point in the longitudinal direction according to FIG Fig. 1b (section along the line A-B in Fig. 1a) a U-shaped Profile on whose floor in the area of Press-in zone below the funnel-shaped openings 5 each a pair of resilient elements 211, 212 attached is that of the resilient receptacle of the inserted Knife contacts serves. According to the illustrated Embodiment of the switch plug according to the invention is a sheet 211 of the resilient elements 211, 212 through the formation of switching flags 41 extended so that the flags in the area overlap between the press-in zones of the two sockets. Thus, those specified in the main claim Contact elements 31 through the resilient elements 211, 212 and the switching flags 41 are formed.

Die Schaltfahnen 41 werden durch Einsetzen des Messerkontaktes zwischen die federnden Elemente 211, 212 auseinandergedrückt, so daß zwischen ihnen kein elektrischer Kontakt entstehen kann, solange die Messerleiste gesteckt ist. Sobald die federnden Elemente 211, 212 von dem spreizenden Messerkontakt entlastet werden, kommen die Schaltfahnen 41, wie in Fig. Ib dargestellt, miteinander in Berührung, wodurch eine Kurzschlußbrücke zwischen den benachbarten Buchsen aufgebaut wird.The switching flags 41 are by inserting the Knife contact between the resilient elements 211, 212 pushed apart so that between them no electrical contact can occur as long as the Male connector is inserted. Once the resilient elements 211, 212 from the expanding knife contact are relieved, the switching flags 41 come as in Fig. Ib shown in contact with each other, whereby a short circuit bridge between the neighboring ones Sockets is built.

Entsprechend dem in den Fig. 2a-2c dargestellten Schaltersteckers werden die Buchsen 22 zur Verbindung der gesteckten Messerkontakte mit den Kontaktstiften der Leiterplatte (nicht eingezeichnet) durch die bandförmigen, federnd angebrachten Schenkel 221 gebildet, die in ihrem Kopfbereich eine S-förmige Biegung zur Aufnahme des Messerkontaktes aufweisen. Weiterhin sind die Buchsen 22 in ihrem Kopfbereich durch die Schaltfahnen 222 verbreitert. Diese Schaltfahnen ragen in Richtung der benachbarten Buchse über einen zwischen den Buchsen in dem isolierenden Gehäuse angebrachten metallischen Kontakteinsatz 223, wobei im Falle von durch einen eingesetzten Messerkontakt gespreizten Buchsen 22 die Schaltfahnen 222 derart von den Kontakteinsätzen 223 weggebogen werden, daß zwischen ihnen kein elektrischer Kontakt entstehen kann. Wird der Messerkontakt jedoch entfernt, so schließt sich der Kontakt zwischen den Schaltfahnen 222 und dem Kontakteinsatz 223, so daß die Kurzschlußbrücke zwischen den benachbarten Buchsen gebildet wird.Corresponding to that shown in FIGS. 2a-2c Switch connector, the sockets 22 for connection of the inserted knife contacts with the contact pins the circuit board (not shown) by the band-shaped, resiliently attached legs 221 are formed, which has an S-shaped bend in its head area have to take up the knife contact. Farther are the sockets 22 in their head area by the Switching flags 222 widened. These switch flags protrude towards the adjacent jack via a between the sockets in the insulating housing metallic contact insert 223, wherein in In the case of spread by an inserted blade contact Bushings 22 the switching lugs 222 such the contact inserts 223 are bent away that there is no electrical contact between them can. If the knife contact is removed, however the contact between the switch flags closes 222 and the contact insert 223, so that the short circuit bridge formed between the adjacent sockets becomes.

Dieser Schalterstecker kann je nach den gewünschten Eigenschaften des Schaltungsanschlusses derart modifiziert werden, daß für bestimmte Buchsenpaare die Kontakteinsätze 223 aus dem Grundkörper entfernt werden, um somit gegebenenfalls die Ausbildung einer Kurzschlußbrücke zu verhindern.This switch connector can vary depending on the one you want Properties of the circuit connection be modified so that for certain pairs of sockets the contact inserts 223 from the base body to be removed, thus possibly training to prevent a short circuit bridge.

Die anhand der Ausführungsbeispiele dargestellte Kontaktierung von jeweils zwei benachbarten Buchsen kann im Prinzip auch auf eine Vielzahl von Buchsen gemeinsam angewendet werden. Außerdem ist die Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Schalterstückes auch bei Buchsenleisten möglich, die nur ein Buchsenpaar enthalten.The illustrated using the exemplary embodiments Contacting two adjacent sockets can in principle also be used on a large number of sockets be applied. In addition, the application of the switch piece according to the invention Also possible with socket strips that only have a pair of sockets contain.
