The shielding plate (3) is composed of material which is in the form of a strip and is bent around the plug connector, and whose ends overlap such that they make contact. In consequence, a particularly good shielding effect is achieved.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen vielpoligen Steckverbinder mit Steckkontaktelementen und rückseitigen Anschlußelementen für ankommende Leitungen, wobei der Steckverbinder und die Anschlußelemente von einem geerdeten Schirmmantel mit Ausnahme der Steckseite umschlossen sind.The invention relates to a multi-pole connector with plug contact elements and rear connection elements for incoming lines, the connector and the connection elements being enclosed by an earthed shielding jacket with the exception of the plug side.

Es ist bekannt, daß derartige Steckverbinder mit schalenartigen Gehäusehälften aus tiefgezogenem Blech zu ummanteln. Dabei ist es üblich, den Schirmmantel mit Erdpotential zu verbinden.It is known that such connectors to be coated with shell-like housing halves made of deep-drawn sheet metal. It is common to connect the shielding jacket to earth potential.

Ferner ist es z. B. durch das deutsche Gebrauchsmuster DE-U-89 11 590 bekannt, bei einem an eine Leiterplatte angesetzten Steckverbinder zu beiden Seiten der Leiterplatte und eines Steckerkörpers getrennte Schirmbleche anzuordnen, deren Rückseiten zur Leiterplatte hin gebogen und mit frei gestanzten Einpreßstiften versehen sind, die in Lötaugen der Leiterplatte eingepreßt sind. Auf Kontaktstifte der Rückwand des Baugruppennamens sind gefiederte Erdungsbleche aufgesetzt, die eine sich in ihrer Längsrichtung erstreckende Ausbauchung aufweisen, in deren Bereich Querschlitze angeordnet sind. Diese Ausbauchungen berühren unter Federspannung das Schirmblech des aufgesteckten Steckverbinders.Furthermore, it is e.g. B. by the German utility model DE-U-89 11 590 known to arrange separate shielding plates on both sides of the printed circuit board and a plug body with a connector attached to a printed circuit board, the rear sides of which are bent towards the printed circuit board and are provided with freely stamped press-in pins which are provided in Soldering eyes of the circuit board are pressed in. Feathered earthing plates are placed on contact pins on the rear wall of the module name and have a bulge extending in their longitudinal direction, in the area of which transverse slots are arranged. These bulges touch the shield plate of the plug-in connector under spring tension.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine maximale Schirmwirkung mit einem kostengünstig herzustellenden Schirmmantel zu erzielen.The invention has for its object to achieve a maximum shielding effect with an inexpensive shielding jacket.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Der Schirmmantel kann nun aus einem als Bandmaterial gelieferten Schirmblechstreifen kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Dieser wird so zugeschnitten, daß nicht nur die Längsseite und die Rückseite, sondern auch die Stirnseiten des Steckverbinders umschlossen sind. Dabei ist darauf geachtet, daß sich die Enden des Schirmblechs überlappen, so daß sie miteinander kontaktiert werden können. Da nun das Schirmblech in seinem gefiederten Bereich federnd ausgebildet ist, bedarf es keiner Gegenbleche, die an der Baugruppenrückwand gehalten sind. Das Schirmblech kann daher unmittelbar mit den Kontaktstiften der Rückwand federnd kontaktiert werden. Dabei ist darauf geachtet, daß die Abbiegungen des Schirmblechs entlang der Seitenkanten des Steckverbinders im Bereich der Querschlitze liegen, so daß das Schirmblech trotz der Ausbauchungen glatt um die Seitenkanten herumgebogen werden kann. Durch die Überlappungen und deren Kontaktierung wird der Steckverbinder maximal geschirmt.This object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1. The shielding jacket can now be produced inexpensively from a shielding sheet strip supplied as a strip material. This is cut so that not only the long side and the back, but also the end faces of the connector are enclosed. It is ensured that the ends of the shield plate overlap so that they can be contacted. Since the shield plate is now resilient in its feathered area, there is no need for counter plates which are held on the rear wall of the assembly. The shield plate can therefore be contacted resiliently with the contact pins of the rear wall. Care is taken to ensure that the bends in the shield plate lie along the side edges of the connector in the region of the transverse slots, so that the shield plate can be bent smoothly around the side edges despite the bulges. The connector is shielded to a maximum by the overlaps and their contacting.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 7 gekennzeichnet:Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in claims 2 to 7:

Bei der Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 2 wird verhindert, daß sich im Bereich der rückwärtigen Seitenkanten des Schirmblechs Spalte ergeben, die die Schirmwirkung beeinträchtigen würden.In the development according to claim 2, it is prevented that there are gaps in the area of the rear side edges of the shield plate which would impair the shielding effect.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 3 wird erreicht, daß jeweils eine Federzunge des Schirmblechs mit einem geerdeten Kontaktstift der Baugruppenrückwand kontaktiert werden kann. Daraus ergibt sich eine maximale Anzahl von Kontaktstellen, die die Schirmwirkung verbessern.The development according to claim 3 ensures that a spring tongue of the shield plate can be contacted with a grounded contact pin of the module rear wall. This results in a maximum number of contact points that improve the shielding effect.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 4 ist es möglich, den geschirmten Steckverbinder sowohl als Kabelstecker als auch als Baugruppenstecker zu verwenden, bei dem die ankommenden Leitungen zwischen den äußeren Schirmlagen liegen und somit optimal geschirmt sind.Through the development according to claim 4, it is possible to use the shielded connector both as a cable connector and as a module connector, in which the incoming lines lie between the outer shield layers and are thus optimally shielded.

Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 5 ermöglicht eine unmittelbare Kontaktierung der Erdpotentiallagen der Leiterplatte mit den die Freimachung begrenzenden Kanten des Schirmblechs. Z. B. durch Löten. Das zweiteilige Schirmblech nach Anspruch 6 kann in kostengünstiger Weise durch Einpressen in die Lötaugen der Leiterplatte mit dieser mechanisch und elektrisch verbunden werden. Dabei ist wiederum darauf geachtet, daß sich die Enden der beiden Teilbleche überlappen und durch Laserschweißen miteinander kontaktiert sind, was die Schirmwirkung verbessert. Die Kontaktierung durch Laserschweißen kann problemlos nach dem Aufsetzen der Teilbleche durchgeführt werden.The development according to claim 5 enables direct contacting of the earth potential layers of the printed circuit board with the edges of the shield plate which delimit the franking. Eg by soldering. The two-part shield plate according to claim 6 can be mechanically and electrically connected to the circuit board in a cost-effective manner by pressing it into the soldering eyes. Care is again taken to ensure that the ends of the two partial sheets overlap and are contacted by laser welding, which improves the shielding effect. Contacting by laser welding can be carried out without problems after the partial sheets have been put on.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 7 wird erreicht, daß für die Rückseiten beider Teilbleche jeweils eine vollständige Lochreihe der Leiterplatte zur Verfügung steht, was eine hinreichende Anzahl von Kontaktierungen mit maximaler Schirmwirkung ermöglicht.The development according to claim 7 ensures that a complete row of holes in the circuit board is available for the rear sides of both partial sheets, which enables a sufficient number of contacts with maximum shielding effect.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.

Nach Figur 1 ist ein vielpoliger Steckverbinder 1 an eine Leiterplatte 2 angesetzt, an die z. B. eines oder mehrere Kabel angeschlossen sein können. Die Leiterplatte ist so breit gehalten, daß sie die schmalen Stirnseiten des länglichen Steckverbinders 1 überragt. Der Steckverbinder weist ein zweiteiliges gefiedertes Schirmblech 3 auf, daß den Steckverbinder 1 mit Ausnahme seiner Steckseite weitgehend umschließt. Das Schirmblech 3 ist aus Streifenmaterial hergestellt, daß mit einer sich ein seiner Längsrichtung erstreckenden Ausbauchung versehen ist. Die Ausbauchung ist mit einer Vielzahl von geschlossenen Querschlitzen 5 versehen, zwischen denen das Schirmblech plattfederartige Kontaktzungen 4 bildet, die sich im wesentlichen in der Steckrichtung erstrecken. Die Kontaktzungen 4 befinden sich in der Nähe der Steckseite des Steckverbinders 1. Das Schirmblech 3 ist um den Steckverbinder 1 und dessen Anschlußelement herumgebogen, so daß auch die schmalen Stirnseiten geschirmt sind. Dabei ist darauf geachtet, daß die sich in der Steckrichtung erstreckenden Biegekanten 6 entlang der Seitenkanten des Steckverbinders 1 im Bereich jeweils eines der Querschlitze 5 liegen. Dadurch ist die Ausbauchung des Schirmblechs von der Biegung nicht betroffen, so daß der Biegevor gang problemlos durchgeführt werden kann. Das Schirmblech 3 ist lediglich von einer Freimachung für die seitlich überstehende Leiterplatte 2 unterbrochen. Der entstehende Spalt kann z. B. dadurch geschlossen werden, daß die äußeren Lagen der Leiterplatte 2 als Erdpotentiallagen ausgebildet sind, mit denen das Schirmblech 3 kontaktiert wird. Nach Figur 2 ist der Steckverbinder 1 auf Kontaktstifte 7 einer Rückwandverdrahtungsplatte 8 aufgesteckt. Die Kontaktzungen 4 befinden sich in der Höhe von Kontaktfedern 9 des Steckverbinders 1 und sind mit angrenzenden geerdeten Kontaktstiften 7 der Rückwandverdrahtungsplatte 8 kontaktiert. Erkennbar ist, daß das Schirmblech 3 nicht nur den Steckerkörper, sondern auch die rückseitigen Anschlußelemente 10 des Steckverbinders 1 umschließt. Diese sind mit nicht dargestellten ankommenden Leitungen der Leiterplatte 2 kontaktiert.According to Figure 1, a multi-pin connector 1 is attached to a circuit board 2 to which, for. B. one or more cables can be connected. The circuit board is kept so wide that it projects beyond the narrow end faces of the elongated connector 1. The connector has a two-part pinnate shield plate 3 that largely encloses the connector 1 with the exception of its plug side. The Shield plate 3 is made of strip material that is provided with a bulge extending in its longitudinal direction. The bulge is provided with a plurality of closed transverse slots 5, between which the shield plate forms plate spring-like contact tongues 4 which extend essentially in the direction of insertion. The contact tongues 4 are located near the plug side of the connector 1. The shield plate 3 is bent around the connector 1 and its connecting element, so that the narrow end faces are shielded. Care is taken to ensure that the bending edges 6 which extend in the plugging direction lie along the side edges of the plug connector 1 in the region of one of the transverse slots 5 in each case. As a result, the bulge of the shield plate is not affected by the bend, so that the bending process can be carried out without problems. The shield plate 3 is only interrupted by a clearing for the laterally protruding printed circuit board 2. The resulting gap can e.g. B. can be closed by the fact that the outer layers of the circuit board 2 are designed as earth potential layers with which the shield plate 3 is contacted. According to Figure 2, the connector 1 is plugged into contact pins 7 of a backplane wiring board 8. The contact tongues 4 are located at the level of contact springs 9 of the connector 1 and are contacted with adjacent grounded contact pins 7 of the backplane wiring board 8. It can be seen that the shield plate 3 not only encloses the connector body, but also the rear connection elements 10 of the connector 1. These are contacted with incoming lines of the printed circuit board 2, not shown.

Die zur Leiterplatte hin abgebogenen Abschnitte des Schirmblechs 3 sind entlang ihrer Kanten mit vorspringenden freigestanzten Einpreßstiften 11 versehen, die sich senkrecht zur Leiterplatte 2 erstrecken. Um diese in die Leiterplatte 2 einpressen zu können, besteht das Schirmblech aus zwei schalenartigen Hälften, die von beiden Seiten her auf die Leiterplatte 2 aufgesetzt werden, wobei die Einpreßstifte 11 in entsprechende Lötaugen der Leiterplatte eingedrückt werden.The sections of the shield plate 3 which are bent toward the printed circuit board are provided along their edges with projecting, freely stamped press-in pins 11 which extend perpendicular to the printed circuit board 2. In order to be able to press these into the printed circuit board 2, the shield plate consists of two shell-like halves which are placed onto the printed circuit board 2 from both sides, the press-in pins 11 being pressed into corresponding soldering eyes on the printed circuit board.

Nach den Figuren 3, 4 und 5 sind die Rückseiten 12 der beiden Schirmblechteile um den Teilungsabstand des Lochrasters der Leiterplatte 2 zueinander versetzt. Dadurch steht für beide Rückseiten 12 eine volle Lochreihe der Leiterplatte 2 für die Einpreßstifte 11 zur Verfügung. Durch die Vielzahl der Kontaktierungen wird die Schirmwirkung weiter verbessert. Auch an den Stirnseiten 13 sind Einpreßstifte 11 vorgesehen, die in entsprechende Lötaugen der überstehenden Leiterplatte 2 eingedrückt sind. Die beiden Teilbleche sind so zugeschnitten, daß sich an den Stirnseiten eine Überlappung 14 ergibt, in deren Bereich ein Laserschweißpunkt liegt, durch den die beiden Teilbleche miteinander kontaktiert werden. Auf der Rückseite 12 weist das Schirmblech 3 einen weiteren Überlappungsbereich 16 auf, der durch einen entsprechenden Zuschnitt des entsprechenden Schirmblechteils entsteht.According to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the rear sides 12 of the two shield plate parts are offset from one another by the pitch of the hole pattern of the printed circuit board 2. As a result, a full row of holes in the printed circuit board 2 is available for the press-in pins 11 for both rear sides 12. The shielding effect is further improved by the large number of contacts. Press-fit pins 11 are also provided on the end faces 13 and are pressed into corresponding solder eyes of the protruding printed circuit board 2. The two partial sheets are cut so that there is an overlap 14 on the end faces, in the area of which there is a laser welding point through which the two partial sheets are contacted. On the rear side 12, the shield plate 3 has a further overlap region 16, which is created by cutting the corresponding shield plate part accordingly.
