Definitions

  • the invention relates to an edge connector for printed circuit boards according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • circuit boards usually consist of a laminate. This Laminate is pressed to a thin insulating plate and then an electrical circuit is printed on the insulating material plate.
  • the circuit boards have to fasten the components usually holes in which the components are initially inserted and then soldered to the circuit board. It is also known circuits printed on both surfaces of the circuit board to attach. Multi-layer circuit boards are also known. The circuit boards are known for example under the keyword “printed circuit” "BROCKHOUSE, NATURAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY", second volume, EL-IN, F.A. Brockhaus Verlag, ISBN 3-7653-0357-7 ", page 178.
  • circuit boards require interfaces for connection or connection with other electrical devices.
  • interfaces are Connectors known from “BROCKHAUS, NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN AND TECHNIK ", fifth volume, SO-Z, F.A. Brockhaus-Verlag, ISBN 3-7653-0357-7", Page 43f ..
  • the circuit boards can be connected to electrical lines or electrical circuits. It is also possible to plug the PCBs into slots or subracks integrate and use the connector with other electrical or electronic Elements.
  • the interfaces are essentially two basic types of connectors known. On the one hand these are the indirect connectors and on the other hand the direct connectors. With the indirect connectors is one Pin header firmly connected to the circuit board. The pin header forms a father part. The corresponding electrical lines, in particular line wires are connected with a complementary mother part. To the The male and female parts only need to be connected to the circuit board the plug-socket principle can be plugged together.
  • the second basic design, direct connectors, is less expensive. These direct connectors are usually called edge connectors designed and on an edge area designed as a contact field the circuit board can easily be pushed on. To form the contact field are the conductor tracks at their ends in the area of the edge of the circuit board usually widened by a multiple of their ladder width to form large contact zones. The individual contact zones of the conductor tracks are separated from each other by unprinted areas of the PCB raw material disconnected to prevent short circuits.
  • the direct edge connectors have sockets on one side Pick up the ends of the lead wires.
  • the cable can be in the Sockets can simply be plugged in or additionally in the form of luster terminals screwed into the sockets.
  • the Edge connector on a preferably slot-shaped receiving groove. With this receiving groove, the edge connector can simply be used as a contact field trained edge area of the circuit board are pushed. in the Final assembly state is the edge area designed as a contact field PCB then in the slot-shaped receiving groove.
  • Contact elements designed as spring contacts are provided. These contact elements are so spaced next to each other that always a Contact element with the edge connector pushed on with the associated one Contact end of the associated trace comes into contact, that is, an electrical Forms contact. Spring-like clamp contacts are particularly preferred here, which is not only good electrical contact with the Form contact ends of the conductor tracks, but also the edge connector Fix on the circuit board.
  • Such a clamp fixation is known for example from the DE-A-38 28 904.
  • the disadvantage of this known connector is first of all that a contact tongue which is adapted to the dimensions of the connector must be formed on the printed circuit board. This contact tongue must also contain recesses for positive locking elements. Complicated milling work on the circuit board to adapt to the connector is therefore required.
  • the connection between the plug connection and the printed circuit board is largely only a clamp fixation.
  • the additional positive connection can be easily released by rotating the connector relative to the circuit board, so that the connection between the connector and the circuit board can be easily released under the influence of shaking and shaking forces.
  • the known attachment is therefore considered insufficient.
  • edge connectors on printed circuit boards To improve the mechanical fixation of edge connectors on printed circuit boards, it is therefore out of DE-C-28 07 018 also known to integrate the edge connector in a guide frame.
  • the printed circuit board can be inserted into the guide frame and can be fixed in its final position in the guide frame by mechanical securing means.
  • the mechanical fixation of the circuit board in the lead frame is indeed satisfactory.
  • the dimensions of the guide frame must at least be adapted to the width of the printed circuit board.
  • the edge connector must be arranged in the area of the frame in which the contact field is in the final assembly state. It is therefore inevitable to stock various types of lead frames for various types of printed circuit boards.
  • the guide frames are very material-intensive and therefore expensive to manufacture. After all, the rigid guide frames are only able to a very limited extent to compensate for manufacturing tolerances in the printed circuit boards.
  • DE-A-39 15 777 discloses a connector that can be placed on a printed circuit board.
  • One embodiment teaches the edge-side fastening of the connector known there with the aid of guide strips on the connector which engage in guide slots on the printed circuit board.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is the fact that the connector placed on the printed circuit board only makes electrical contact with one side of the printed circuit board. The connector known there is therefore unsuitable as an interface for printed circuit boards printed on both sides.
  • Another disadvantage is that the construction of the fasteners on the connector is very expensive. In addition to the separate guide rails, angular bearings and projections and an additional mechanical locking device must also be provided.
  • a disadvantage of these known connectors in addition to the limited possibility of being able to contact only one side of the printed circuit board, is also the complicated structure of the fastening device.
  • the invention is based on the object the mechanical connection from the edge connector to the circuit board improve and simplify the construction of the edge connector.
  • the edge connector according to the invention has a contact field trained edge area of the circuit board comprehensive receiving groove.
  • the groove side walls of the receiving groove encompass the in the final assembly state Edge area of the circuit board in the manner of an upper and lower jaw Mouth.
  • the contacts are like teeth from the jaws forming inner sides of the groove side walls.
  • the receiving groove is on at least one end face of an end wall locked.
  • the end wall forms when plugged onto the circuit board Edge connector also a fixing bar.
  • the groove side walls run with attached edge connector essentially the same as the Printed circuit board surfaces and the fixing web therefore run essentially perpendicular to the PCB surfaces.
  • the invention enables primarily electrical contacting serving clamp connection to your contacting requirements better adapt and the resulting fastening technology Disadvantages due to the additional positive connection to compensate.
  • Edge connectors are usually on the front anyway closed by end walls. It is also advantageous that in the Circuit board only a fixing slot has to be cut. This cut is easily possible in terms of production technology. A special, especially tongue-like Design of the clamping area of the circuit board is not necessary.
  • the fixing web covers the whole in the manner of an intermediate wall or side wall Cross section of the receiving groove. As a result, the active surface of the fixing web maximized.
  • the fixing bar only has to protrude into the groove cross section and partially cover it.
  • the guidance of the edge connector when sliding on is essentially on the fixing web equally arranged guide lips arranged.
  • the spring bar-like design of the guide lips is from the guide lips exert a further clamping effect on the circuit board, what the mechanical attachment of the edge connector to the circuit board improved.
  • the resilient guide lips compensate for manufacturing tolerances particularly simple and effective in terms of PCB thickness.
  • the guide lips can be designed so that they increase with increasing Taper the distance from the fixing web in its cross-section. Through this decrease in cross-section the moment of resistance of the guide lips decreases at the same time the areas of the guide lips remote from the fixing bar, which also results in a certain spring action of the guide lips is realized.
  • the receiving groove is by means of two fixing webs closed on both ends.
  • the groove side walls are so through as end walls effective fixing webs to a rectangular box girder added.
  • those held between the groove side walls are Contact elements designed as spring clips.
  • This spring clip-like trained contact elements ensure the known clamping fixation of the edge connector on the contact field and enable it also a particularly good electrical contact between the Contact field of the circuit board and that connected to the edge connector Cables.
  • These sockets can be designed as clamping sockets. Particularly solid however, the preferred suggested bushings are.
  • the Cable ends of the cable in the sockets and are for securing the position additionally screwed into the sockets.
  • the rectangular hollow box forms a together with the fixing slots closed surface guidance between the contact area of the PCB and the edge connector.
  • the edge connector completely encloses the contact area of the circuit board.
  • the contact field of the circuit board is enclosed on all sides in the rectangular hollow box in the final assembly state a.
  • the fixing slots adjacent at a defined distance are as Coding effective. Due to the defined distance between the fixing slots it is only possible to use only the appropriate edge connector provided to be pushed onto the circuit board.
  • both are created equal to the two PCB sliding surface levels.
  • the inner surfaces slide here the groove side walls on the circuit board surfaces.
  • the inside of the fixing bar and the outside of the fixing bar slide on the inside edges the fixing slots, which ensures precise guidance of the edge connector shortly after being attached to the edge area of the circuit board is guaranteed.
  • the edge connector is very well guided right down to it Final assembly position can be pushed onto the edge area of the circuit board.
  • Additional locking projections are arranged on the fixing webs.
  • the printed circuit board are also complementary to the locking projections trained recesses provided.
  • the locking tabs and the locking recesses are arranged so that the locking projections on reaching the final assembly position of the edge connector in the Snap in the recesses. Reach behind in the final assembly state the locking projections the locking recesses. This is another positive locking of the edge connector on the circuit board in the Final assembly condition guaranteed.
  • the locking projection-locking recess combination also has the advantage that when manually attaching the Edge connector on the circuit board sounds a clear snap, when the edge connector is in its final assembly position, i.e. its target position on the circuit board.
  • the locking projection-locking recess combination according to claim 9 is not only as an additional mechanical Securing but also as an acoustic and visual target position indicator effective.
  • the Edge connector has a hollow box-shaped cross-section, i.e. two fixing bars in the area of the face of the receiving groove. Both fixing bars point both the spring bar-like guide lips and the locking projections.
