Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Befestigung eines um 90° abgewinkelten Steckverbinders für die Einpreßtechnik, mit einer aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden, in zueinander parallelen Reihen und Spalten Kontaktelemente aufnehmenden Kontaktleiste mit einer Steckseite und einer hierzu gegenüberliegenden Anschlußseite, und mit einem aus Isoliermaterial berstehenden, an der Anschlußseite der Kontaktleiste angefügten Kontaktelementeträger, dessen Kontaktelemente mit ihrem Steckbereich in die Kontaktleiste ragen und an ihrem rechtwinklig zur Steckrichtung verlaufenden Anschlußbereich als Einpreßstifte ausgebildet sind, an einer Leiterplatte sowie einen Steckverbinder zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for fastening a connector angled by 90 ° for press-fit technology, with one made of insulating material existing, in parallel rows and columns Contact bar receiving contact elements with a plug side and an opposite connection side, and with a protruding from insulating material on the connection side contact element carrier attached to the contact strip, whose contact elements with their plug area in the contact strip protrude and at right angles to the direction of insertion extending connection area designed as press-in pins are on a circuit board and a connector to carry out this procedure.
Ein derartiger Steckverbinder ist durch das DE-GM 90 13 007 bekannt. Hierbei ist der Steckverbinder von einem die Kontaktleiste bildenden Hauptkörper und einem die Kontaktelemente tragenden, block- oder scheibenförmigen Zusatzkörper gebildet, von einer Blechverkleidung umgeben und in Einpreßtechnik an einer Leiterplatte befestigt. Der Steckverbinder wird auf einmal in die Leiterplatte eingepreßt, so daß bei hochpoligen Steckverbindern mit z.B. 100 bis 500 Polen sehr hohe Einpreßkräfte aufzuwenden sind, die bei nicht ausreichend genau ausgerichteten Einpreßstiften zu deren Beschädigung führen können. Es müssen daher vor dem Einpressen entsprechende Maßnahmen getroffen werden, um derartige Schäden zu verhindern. In der Regel ist der Einpreßvorgang der letzte Arbeitsschritt, so daß eine Leiterplatte oder Baugruppe bereits mit teueren Komponenten bestückt sein kann. Für den Fall, daß der Steckverbinder repariert werden muß oder einzelne Kontaktelemnte ersetzt werden müssen, besteht - insbesondere bei hochpoligen Steckverbindern - beim Auspressen des gesamten Steckverbinders aufgrund der hohen Auspreßkräfte die Gefahr einer Beschädigung oder gar Zerstörung der hochwertigen Baugruppe.Such a connector is by DE-GM 90 13 007 known. Here, the connector from one is the contact strip main body and one of the contact elements load-bearing, block or disc-shaped additional body formed, surrounded by a sheet metal cladding and using press-fit technology attached to a circuit board. The connector is pressed into the circuit board at once, so that at multi-pin connectors with e.g. 100 to 500 Poles very much high press-in forces have to be applied, which are not sufficient for precisely aligned press pins to damage them being able to lead. It must therefore be appropriate before pressing Measures are taken to prevent such damage to prevent. As a rule, 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 needs to be repaired or individual contact elements have to be replaced - especially with multi-pin connectors - when pressing of the entire connector due to the high extrusion forces the risk of damage or even destruction the high-quality assembly.
Aus der DE-PS 39 25 958 ist ebenfalls ein Steckverbinder in Einpreßtechnik bekannt, der aus zwei durch geeignete Rastmittel miteinander verbundenen Isolierkörperhälften besteht. Hierbei können zwar die von der einen Isolierkörperhälfte gebildete Kontaktleiste und der Kontaktelementeträger voneinander gelöst werden, jedoch sind die Kontaktelemente in einer einteilig ausgebildeten zweiten Isolierkörperhälfte angeordnet, die dann im Reparaturfalle oder bei Auswechslungen einzelner Kontaktelemente als Ganzes ausgepreßt werden muß.From DE-PS 39 25 958 is also a connector in Press-in technology known, consisting of two by suitable locking means interconnected insulator halves. Here, the one of the insulator half formed contact strip and the contact element carrier from each other can be solved, but the contact elements are in a one-piece second insulating body half arranged, which then in the event of repair or replacement individual contact elements are pressed out as a whole got to.
Durch die DE-OS 40 40 551 ist eine elektrische Verbinderanordnung mit aneinander anliegenden einzelnen Gehäusemodulen bekannt, an deren der Steckseite gegenüberliegender Anschlußseite eine Vielzahl von einzelnen, zueinander parallelen Anschlußunteranordnungen vorgesehen ist. Diese Anschlußunteranordnungen sind isolierende Träger der mit ihrem Steckbereich in die Gehäusemodule ragenden Kontaktelemente, welche an ihrem rechtwinklig zur Steckrichtung aus den Anschlußunteranordnungen herausragenden Anschlußbereich einen federnd nachgiebigen Abschnitt aufweisen. Nach dem Zusammenbau der einzelnen Gehäusemodule mit den Anschlußunteranordnungen lassen sich die Gehäusemodule und die Anschlüsse derart auf eine Schaltungsplatte aufsetzen, daß die federnd nachgiebigen Abschnitte in entsprechend ausgebildete Durchgangslöcher der Schaltungsplatte eingeführt werden. Dies bedeutet, daß auch bei dieser bekannten elektrischen Verbinderanordnung zuerst die Gehäusemodule und die Anschlußunteranordnungen zusammengebaut und dann als Ganzes in die Schaltungsplatte eingepreßt werden. Demnach ist auch hier die Reparatur der Verbinderanordnung oder die Auswechslung einzelner Kontaktelemente aufwendig.DE-OS 40 40 551 is an electrical connector arrangement with adjoining individual housing modules known, on the opposite side of the connector side connection a large number of individual, parallel to each other Connection sub-arrangements is provided. These terminal sub-assemblies are insulating carriers with their Plug area in the contact elements projecting into the housing modules, which at their right angles to the direction of insertion from the connection subassemblies outstanding connection area have resilient section. After assembly of the individual housing modules with the connection subassemblies the housing modules and the connections can be made in this way put on a circuit board that the resilient compliant sections in appropriately trained through holes of the circuit board. This means, that even with this known electrical connector assembly first the housing modules and the connection subassemblies assembled and then as a whole in the circuit board be pressed in. Accordingly, the repair is also here the connector arrangement or the replacement of individual Contact elements expensive.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art den Aufbau so zu vereinfachen, daß eine Reparatur des Steckverbinders oder ein Auswechseln von Kontaktelementen in einfacher Weise möglich ist.The invention has for its object in a connector of the type mentioned at the outset to simplify the construction that a repair of the connector or a Replacement of contact elements possible in a simple manner is.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1, beziehungsweise durch den in Anspruch 2 angegebenen Steckverbinder zur Durchführung des Verfahrens nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This task will solved by the method according to claim 1, or by the connector specified in claim 2 for performing the method according to claim 1.
Bei einem derartigen Steckverbinder bestehen die Kontaktleiste und der Kontaktelementeträger aus lösbar mittels Rastorganen miteinander verbundenen Teilen, so daß sich die Kontaktleiste im Reparaturfalle einfach von dem Kontaktelementeträger abnehmen läßt. Dieser besteht aus einzelnen Unterbaugruppen, die jeweils eine Spalte von Kontaktelementen aufnehmen, zueinander parallel angeordnet und einzeln für sich in eine Leiterplatte eingepreßt sind. Dies bedeutet, daß nach dem Abnehmen der Kontaktleiste vom Kontaktelementeträger jede Unterbaugruppe einzeln für sich zugänglich und auspreßbar ist. Daher braucht bei einzelnen defekten Kontaktelementen lediglich die jeweilige Unterbaugruppe ausgepreßt zu werden, während die übrigen Unterbaugruppen eingepreßt bleiben und lagerichtig gehalten sind. Das Auspressen einer Unterbaugruppe oder mehrerer einzelner Unterbaugruppen kann infolge einer hierfür sehr kleinen Auspreßkraft manuell oder mit einem einfachen Hilfswerkzeug erfolgen. Auf dieselbe Weise wird eine neue Unterbaugruppe eingepreßt. Nach der Reparatur läßt sich die Kontaktleiste wieder auf den Kontaktelementeträger aufschieben. Eine Reparatur des Steckverbinders oder ein Auswechseln von Kontaktelementen ist somit in einfacher, kostengünstiger und schonender Weise ohne die Gefahr einer Baugruppenbeschädigung gewährleistet.In such a connector there is the contact strip and the contact element carrier from detachable by means of locking members interconnected parts so that the contact strip in the event of repair, simply from the contact element carrier can lose weight. This consists of individual sub-assemblies, each a column of contact elements record, arranged parallel to each other and individually for are pressed into a circuit board. This means, that after removing the contact strip from the contact element carrier each subassembly individually accessible and is squeezable. Therefore needs with individual defective contact elements only the respective subassembly is pressed out to be pressed in while the remaining subassemblies remain and are held in the correct position. The squeezing a subassembly or multiple individual subassemblies can be done manually due to a very small squeezing force or with a simple auxiliary tool. The same A new subassembly is pressed in. After The contact strip can be repaired again on the contact element carrier put off. A repair of the connector or a replacement of contact elements is therefore in simple, inexpensive and gentle way without the danger damage to the assembly.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes des Anspruchs 2 sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the claim 2 are specified in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines in der Zeichnung
dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles eines Steckverbinders
für die Einpreßtechnik näher erläutert. Es zeigen
Der Steckverbinder ist aus zwei aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden
Teilen, nämlich einer Kontaktleiste 1 und einem Kontaktelementeträger
2 (Fig.2) aufgebaut. Die Kontaktleiste
ist entweder als Messerleiste mit stiftförmigen Messerkontakten
oder als Federleiste mit buchsenartigen Kontaktfedern
ausgebildet. In jedem Fall sind die Kontaktelemente in
jeweils zueinander parallelen Reihen und Spalten in der
Kontaktleiste 1 angeordnet. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel
ist die Kontaktleiste 1 mit für den Betrachter der Fig. 1 an
der vorderen Steckseite sichtbaren Kammern 3 für
Kontaktfedern 4 und damit als Federleiste ausgebildet, wobei
hier jeweils fünf Kammern in einer senkrechten Spalte
untereinander angeordnet und z.B. 17 Spalten vorgesehen
sind, d.h. es handelt sich hier um eine Federleiste mit fünf
Reihen und 17 Spalten und demnach um einen 85-poligen
Steckverbinder. An der der vorderen Steckseite
gegenüberliegenden rückwärtigen Anschlußseite ist der
Kontaktelementeträger 2 angefügt, der aus einzelnen,
zueinander parallelen Unterbaugruppen 2a oder 2b (Fig.1)
besteht, wobei jede Unterbaugruppe die Kontaktelemente
jeweils einer Spalte aufnimmt. Die Unterbaugruppen 2a,2b
sind demnach also Träger von fünf übereinander angeordneten
Kontaktelementen 5, die mit ihrem die Kontaktfeder 4
aufweisenden Steckbereich in die Kammern 3 der Kontaktleiste
1 ragen und an ihrem rechtwinklig zur Steckrichtung verlaufenden
Anschlußbereich von Verbindungsstielen 15 abragen
und als Einpreßstift 6 ausgebildet sind. Die beiden Kontaktelementeträger
2a und 2b sind in unterschiedlicher Weise
gestaltet und bilden zusammen mit jeweils gleichartigen Unterbaugruppen
2a oder 2b einen hier aus 17 zueinander parallelen
Unterbaugruppen bestehenden Kontaktelementeträger 2.
Die Unterbaugruppe 2a weist ein sich in Richtung einer
Spalte erstreckendes Isolierteil 7 auf, das die in einer
Spalte übereinander angeordneten Kontaktelemente 5 nur in
einem relativ schmalen Bereich, der sich an den Steckbereich
anschließt, aufnimmt, so daß die Kontaktelemente nur
partiell von Isoliermaterial umgeben sind. Dagegen weist die
Unterbaugruppe 2b ein sich in Richtung einer Spalte
erstreckendes plattenförmiges Isolierteil 8 auf, das die in
einer Spalte übereinander angeordneten Kontaktelemente 5 bis
auf den Steck- und den Anschlußbereich vollständig umgibt.
Das plattenförmige Isolierteil 8 besteht wie das Isolierteil
7 entweder aus einem einteiligen Spritzteil oder aus zwei
lösbar miteinander verbundenen Einzelteilen 8a und 8b,
welche die Kontaktelemente 5 zwischen sich einschließen.The connector is made of two insulating materials
Parts, namely a contact strip 1 and a contact element carrier
2 (Fig.2) built. The contact bar
is either a male connector with pin-shaped male contacts
or as a female connector with socket-like contact springs
educated. In any case, the contact elements are in
rows and columns parallel to each other in the
Contact bar 1 arranged. In the embodiment shown
is the contact strip 1 with for the viewer of FIG. 1
the front plug-in visible chambers 3 for
Contact springs 4 and thus designed as a female connector, wherein
here five chambers in a vertical column
arranged one below the other and e.g. 17 columns provided
are, i.e. it is a female connector with five
Rows and 17 columns and therefore around an 85-pin
Connectors. On the front mating side
opposite rear connection side is the
Contact element carrier 2 added, which consists of
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder wird jede Unterbaugruppe
2a bzw. 2b jeweils für sich in durchkontaktierte Bohrungen
einer Leiterplatte 9 (Fig.2 bis 6) eingepreßt, bis
der vollständige, hier entsprechend der Anzahl der Spalten
in der Kontaktleiste 1 aus 17 Unterbaugruppen bestehende
Kontaktelementeträger 2 gebildet ist. Dann wird die Kontaktleiste
1 auf den derart gebildeten Kontaktelementeträger 2
aufgeschoben, wobei die Kontaktleiste 1 und der Kontaktelementeträger
2 durch im Bereich der Anschlußseite der Kontaktleiste
und durch an den Unterbaugruppen 2a,2b vorgesehene,
zusammenwirkende Rastorgane 13,14 lösbar miteinander
verbunden sind. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind
die Rastorgane 13,14 - wie Fig. 1 erkennen läßt - in einem
dünnen, federnden Wandbereich 10 zumindest an der Oberseite
11 der Kontaktleiste und an der Oberseite 12 der
Unterbaugruppen 2a bzw. 2b oder - wie die Fig.2 bis 6
erkennen lassen, an der Oberseite und an der Unterseite der
Kontaktleiste 1 und der Unterbaugruppen 2b vorgesehen. Hier
bestehen die Rastorgane aus an jeder Unterbaugruppe
vorgesehenen Rastnasen 14, wobei für jede Rastnase jeweils
ein Rastloch 13 in der Kontaktleiste 1 vorgesehen ist und
die Rastnasen 14 an der der Kontaktleiste 1 zugewandten
Seite abgeschrägt sind, so daß die Kontaktleiste leicht auf
den von einer Vielzahl einzeln in die Leiterplatte 9
eingepreßter Unterbaugruppen 2b gebildeten Kontaktelementeträger
2 aufschiebbar und lösbar mit diesem verbunden
ist (Fig.2). Im Falle der Reparatur des Steckverbinders
oder des Auswechselns defekter Kontaktelemente wird die Kontaktleiste
1 durch Anheben der dünnen, federnden Wandbereiche
10 entriegelt und von dem Kontaktelementeträger 2 abgenommen
(Fig.3). Dann wird die defekte Unterbaugruppe, z.B.
die ein defektes Kontaktelement 5 oder mehrere defekte Kontaktelemente
enthaltende vorderste Unterbaugruppe 2b des
Kontaktelementeträgers 2 für sich ausgepreßt und aus dem
Kontaktelementeträger herausgenommen (Fig. 4). Anstelle der
defekten Unterbaugruppe wird einfach eine neue Unterbaugruppe
in den Kontaktelementeträger 2 eingesetzt und in die Leiterplatte
9 eingepreßt (Fig.5). Abschließend wird die Kontaktleiste
1 wieder auf den Kontaktelementeträger 2 aufgeschoben
und mit diesem verriegelt.In the connector according to the invention, each
