Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector angled by 90 ° for the press-in technology, with a contact strip made of insulating material and receiving contact elements in parallel rows and columns with a plug-in side and an opposite connection side, and with a protruding from insulating material and attached to the connection side of the contact strip Contact element carrier, the contact elements of which protrude with their plug-in area into the contact strip and are designed as press-in pins on their connection area running at right angles to the plug-in direction.
  • Such a connector is known from DE-GM 90 13 007.
  • the connector is formed by a main body forming the contact strip and a block or disc-shaped additional body carrying the contact elements, surrounded by a sheet metal cladding and fastened to a printed circuit board using press-fit technology.
  • the plug connector is pressed into the printed circuit board at once, so that very high press-in forces have to be applied to multi-pin plug connectors with, for example, 100 to 500 poles, which can lead to their damage if the press-in pins are not aligned precisely enough. Appropriate measures must therefore be taken before pressing in to prevent such damage.
  • the press-in process is the last step, so that a circuit board or assembly can already be equipped with expensive components. In the event that the connector has to be repaired or individual contact elements have to be replaced, there is - especially with multi-pin connectors - when pressing the entire connector due to the high extrusion forces the risk of damage or even destruction of the high-quality assembly.
  • a connector in press-in technology which consists of two insulating body halves connected by suitable locking means.
  • the contact strip formed by the one insulating body half and the contact element carrier can be detached from one another, but the contact elements are arranged in a one-piece second insulating body half, which then has to be pressed out as a whole in the event of repair or when individual contact elements are replaced.
  • connection subassemblies are insulating supports of the contact elements projecting with their plug-in area into the housing modules, which have a resiliently flexible section on their connection area protruding at right angles to the plug-in direction from the connection sub-assemblies.
  • the invention has for its object to simplify the structure of a connector of the type mentioned so that a repair of the connector or a replacement of contact elements is possible in a simple manner.
  • the contact strip and the contact element carrier consist of parts releasably connected to one another by means of latching elements, so that the contact strip can be easily removed from the contact element carrier in the event of a repair.
  • This consists of individual subassemblies, each of which accommodates a column of contact elements, is arranged parallel to one another and is individually pressed into a printed circuit board. This means that after the contact strip has been removed from the contact element carrier, each subassembly is individually accessible and is squeezable. Therefore, in the case of individual defective contact elements, only the respective subassembly needs to be pressed out, while the other subassemblies remain pressed in and are held in the correct position.
  • a subassembly or several individual subassemblies can be pressed out manually or with a simple auxiliary tool as a result of a very small extrusion force for this purpose.
  • a new subassembly is pressed in in the same way.
  • the contact strip can be pushed back onto the contact element carrier. A repair of the connector or a replacement of contact elements is thus ensured in a simple, inexpensive and gentle manner without the risk of damage to the assembly.
  • the connector is made up of two parts made of insulating material, namely a contact strip 1 and a contact element carrier 2 (FIG. 2).
  • the contact strip is either a male connector with pin-shaped knife contacts or a female connector with socket-like contact springs educated.
  • the contact elements are arranged in mutually parallel rows and columns in the contact strip 1.
  • the contact strip 1 is formed with chambers 3 for contact springs 4, which are visible on the front plug-in side for the viewer of FIG. 1, and thus as a spring strip, wherein here five chambers are arranged one below the other in a vertical column and, for example, 17 columns are provided, ie it is a female connector with five rows and 17 columns and therefore an 85-pin connector.
  • the contact element carrier 2 which consists of individual, mutually parallel subassemblies 2a or 2b (FIG. 1), is attached to the rear connection side opposite the front plug side, each subassembly accommodating the contact elements in each case one column.
  • the subassemblies 2a, 2b are therefore carriers of five superimposed contact elements 5, which protrude with their plug area having the contact spring 4 into the chambers 3 of the contact strip 1 and protrude from their connection area 15, which extends at right angles to the plugging direction, from connecting rods 15 and are designed as a press-in pin 6 .
  • the two contact element carriers 2a and 2b are designed in different ways and, together with subassemblies 2a or 2b of the same type in each case, form a contact element carrier 2, which here consists of 17 mutually parallel subassemblies.
  • the subassembly 2a has an insulating part 7 extending in the direction of a column, which has the insulation element shown in FIG a column of contact elements 5 arranged one above the other only in a relatively narrow area, which adjoins the plug-in area, so that the contact elements are only partially surrounded by insulating material.
  • the subassembly 2b has a plate-shaped insulating part 8 which extends in the direction of a column and which a column of contact elements 5 arranged one above the other completely except for the plug and the connection area.
  • the plate-shaped insulating part 8 consists either of a one-piece injection-molded part or of two detachably connected individual parts 8a and 8b, which enclose the contact elements 5 between them.
  • each subassembly 2a or 2b is pressed into plated-through bores of a printed circuit board 9 (FIGS. 2 to 6) until the complete contact element carrier 2, consisting here of 17 subassemblies in accordance with the number of columns in the contact strip 1, is formed is. Then the contact strip 1 is pushed onto the contact element carrier 2 formed in this way, the contact strip 1 and the contact element carrier 2 being detachably connected to one another by cooperating latching elements 13, 14 provided in the region of the connection side of the contact strip and by means of the subassemblies 2a, 2b.
  • the locking members 13, 14 - as can be seen in FIG.
  • the locking members consist of locking lugs 14 provided on each subassembly, a locking hole 13 being provided in the contact strip 1 for each locking lug, and the locking lugs 14 being chamfered on the side facing the contact strip 1, so that the contact strip can be easily attached to a plurality contact element carrier 2, which is formed individually into the printed circuit board 9 of subassemblies 2b, can be pushed on and releasably connected to the latter (FIG. 2).
  • the contact strip 1 is unlocked by lifting the thin, resilient wall areas 10 and removed from the contact element carrier 2 (FIG. 3).
  • the defective subassembly for example the foremost subassembly 2b of the contact element carrier 2 containing a defective contact element 5 or more defective contact elements, is pressed out for itself and removed from the contact element carrier (FIG. 4). Instead of the defective subassembly, a new subassembly is simply inserted into the contact element carrier 2 and pressed into the printed circuit board 9 (FIG. 5). Finally, the contact strip 1 is pushed back onto the contact element carrier 2 and locked with it.
