Aufgrund der Tatsache, daß heute und zukünftig immer mehr und höhere Datenraten mit immer höheren Frequenzen über die Schnittstelle "Steckverbinder" übertragen werden müssen, ist es notwendig, den heute aus Kunststoff gefertigten Steckerkörper zu veredeln und damit EMV-tauglich zu machen. Der Steckerdurchgang soll kleiner und billiger als ein herkömmlicher Mini-KOAX sein.Due to the fact that more and more today and in the future higher data rates with ever higher frequencies over the Interface "connector" must be transferred it is necessary to use the plastic connector body to refine and thus make it EMC-compatible. Of the Connector passage is said to be smaller and cheaper than a conventional one Be Mini-COAX.

Bisher wurde die notwendige EMV-Maßnahme einerseits mit Hilfe von normalen Kontaktstiften um einen aktiven Leiter herum und andererseits durch Kapselung der einzelnen Kontaktdurchgänge mittels zu einem Potentialkäfig verbundenen Schirmelementen (siehe europäische Patentanmeldung 94103192.4) erreicht.So far, the necessary EMC measure has been on the one hand with the help of normal contact pins around an active conductor and on the other hand, by encapsulating the individual contact passages by means of shield elements connected to a potential cage (see European patent application 94103192.4).

Aus US-A-5 162 001 ist ein Steckverbinder mit Messern und kontaktfedern bekannt, bei dem die kontaktfedern in Aufnahmekammern eines Metallblocks angeordnet sind. Sie werden dort in manschettenartigen Kunststoffgehäusen zentriert geschalten.From US-A-5 162 001 is a connector with knives and contact springs known in which the contact springs are arranged in receiving chambers of a metal block are. There they are switched centered in sleeve-like plastic housings.

Der aus der europäischen Patentanmeldung 94103192.4 bekannte Steckverbinder weist von der Herstellung her einen komplizierten Aufbau auf. Aufgabe der vorligenden Erfindung ist es, einen Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, dessen Hochfrequenzeigenschaften den gestellten Anforderungen genügen, und der sich durch einen verhältnismäßig einfachen Aufbau auszeichnet.The one known from European patent application 94103192.4 The connector has a complicated manufacture Building on. The object of the present invention is to specify a connector of the type mentioned at the beginning, whose high-frequency properties meet the requirements suffice, and which is characterized by a relatively simple Structure distinguished.

Diese Aufgabe wird für einen Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß das Federleistengehäuse aus durchgehenden Aufnahmekammern besteht, in die metallische Rohre eingeschoben sind, und daß in den Rohren mit Kunststoff umspritzte Kontaktfedern derart eingelegt sind, daß deren Mittelleiter zentrisch zum Rohr gelagert ist, wobei die Umspritzung baugruppenseitig beginnt und im rückwärtigen Federbereich endet.This task is for a connector of the type mentioned Art solved in that the female connector housing continuous receiving chambers exist in the metallic Pipes are inserted, and that in the pipes with plastic overmolded contact springs are inserted in such a way that their center conductors is mounted centrally to the pipe, the extrusion coating begins on the assembly side and ends in the rear spring area.

Der erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinder bietet Steckerdurchgänge, die wesentlich kleiner und billiger als herkömmliche Mini-KOAX-Steckverbindungen sind und bezüglich der Übertragungseigenschaften alle heutigen Anforderungen erfüllen.The connector according to the invention offers connector passages, which are much smaller and cheaper than conventional mini-COAX connectors and regarding the transmission properties meet all today's requirements.

Eine von mehreren zweckmäßigen Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kontaktierungen aus sowohl in der Rückwandverdrahtungsplatte als auch in der Baugruppenleiterplatte mittels Einpreßtechnik fest verankerten Kontaktstiften bestehen, die im gesteckten Zustand jeweils in ein Drahtgeflecht eingedrückt sind, das in zwischen den Händen der Rohre vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen angebracht ist. Auf diese Weise ist eine sehr gute Schirmableitung im Zwischenraster gewährleistet.One of several useful developments of the invention The connector is characterized in that the contacts from both in the backplane wiring board as well as in the assembly circuit board using press-fit technology firmly anchored contact pins exist in the inserted state each pressed into a wire mesh are in the recesses provided between the hands of the tubes is appropriate. That way is a very good one Screen derivation guaranteed in the intermediate grid.

Eine andere zweckmäßge Ausgestaltung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Enden der Rohre an vier diagonal gegenüberliegenden Stellen im wesentlichen kreisbogenförmig ausgeschnitten sind, wobei die nicht ausgeschnittenen Abschnitte der Schirmkontaktierung dienen. Durch die Ausschnitte wird das Fliesverhalten des Stromes verbessert, es wird eine Wirbelbildung und damit ein zusätzlicher Widerstand weitgehend vermieden.Another expedient embodiment is characterized in that that the ends of the tubes at four diagonally opposite Places cut out essentially in a circular arc are, the uncut sections of the Serve shield contacting. The cutouts will Flow behavior of the stream improves, it becomes a vortex formation and thus largely avoided additional resistance.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen sowie aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der Figur.Further refinements of the connector according to the invention result from the further subclaims and from the the following description of an embodiment based on the Figure.

Von der Steckverbindung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist in der Hauptsache die Federleiste 1 dargestellt. Die Federleiste 1 befindet sich zwischen einer Rückwandleiterplatte 2 eines Baugruppenträgers und einer Baugruppenleiterplatte 3 einer Baugruppe. Die Federleiste ist in Fig. 1 lediglich angedeutet. Die Messerleiste 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Kunststoffkörper mit einer Vielzahl von Aufnahmekammern. Die einzelnen Kammern gehen von einer Seite zur anderen durch und sind durch Kammertrennwände 6 aus Kunststoff voneinander getrennt.From the connector according to the present invention the female connector 1 is shown in the main. The female connector 1 is located between a backplane 2 a subrack and a subassembly board 3 an assembly. The female connector is only indicated in Fig. 1. The male connector 1 consists essentially of a Plastic body with a large number of receiving chambers. The individual chambers go from side to side and are separated from each other by plastic partition walls 6 Cut.

In die Aufnahmekammern einschiebbar sind metallische Rohre 4, in welche mit Kunststoff 12 umspritzte Kontaktfedern 5 derart eingelegt sind, daß der Mittelleiter zentrisch zum Rohr 4 gelagert ist. Wie aus Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist, beginnt die Umspritzung baugruppenseitig und endet im rückwärtigen Federbereich, um die Federeigenschaften der Kontaktfeder 5 voll zu erhalten. Um ein gezieltes Einschieben der Rohre zu ermöglichen, und gleichzeitig einen Kurzschluß des vorderen Teils der Kontaktfeder mit dem Rohr zu vermeiden, kann die Aufnahmekammer rückwandseitig einen Federschenkelanschlag 7 für die Kontaktfeder aufweisen. Dieser Federschenkelanschlag 7 dient gleichzeitig als Einlauftrichter 8 für die Kontaktmesser 14.Metallic tubes 4 can be inserted into the receiving chambers. into which contact springs 5 overmolded with plastic 12 in such a way are inserted that the center conductor is mounted centrally to the tube 4 is. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the encapsulation begins on the assembly side and ends in the rear spring area, to the spring properties of the contact spring 5 fully receive. To enable the pipes to be inserted in a targeted manner, and at the same time a short circuit of the front part The receiving chamber can avoid the contact spring with the pipe on the back a spring leg stop 7 for the Have contact spring. This spring leg stop 7 serves at the same time as an inlet funnel 8 for the contact blades 14.

Die metallischen Rohre können sowohl einen runden, wie auch einen viereckigen Querschnitt aufweisen.The metallic tubes can be round as well have a square cross section.

Die Kontaktierung der metallischen Rohre 4 mit einem Erd- bzw. Schirmpotential erfolgt über Kontaktierungen in der Diagonale, d.h. im Zwischenraster. Bei herkömmlichen Steckverbindern beträgt dieses Raster 1,25 mm. Die Erd- bzw. Schirmpotentialkontaktierungen sind baugruppenseitig im Gehäuse fest verankert und sind in der Baugruppenleiterplatte in der bereits bekannten Einpreßtechnik ausgeführt. In der Rückwandleiterplatte ist ebenfalls eine entsprechende Kontaktierung vorgesehen. Wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist, kann die Kontaktierung mit den Rohren 4 auf drei unterschiedliche Arten erfolgen.The contacting of the metallic pipes 4 with an earth or shielding potential takes place via contacts in the diagonal, i.e. in the grid. With conventional connectors this grid is 1.25 mm. The earth or shield potential contacts are in the housing on the module side firmly anchored and are in the assembly circuit board in the already known press-in technology. In the backplane is also an appropriate contact intended. As shown in Fig. 3, the contacting done with the tubes 4 in three different ways.

An den jeweiligen Enden der metallischen Rohre 4 sind Ausnehmungen 13 in dem Kunststoffgehäuse der Federleiste 1 vorgesehen, so daß die Oberflächen von jeweils vier Rohren für die Kontaktierung zugänglich sind.At the respective ends of the metallic tubes 4 there are recesses 13 provided in the plastic housing of the female connector 1, so that the surfaces of four tubes each for the Contacting are accessible.

Eine erste Möglichkeit der Kontaktierung besteht darin, daß ein Büschelstecker 9 mittels Einpreßtechnik in der Leiterplatte fest verankert ist und in die Ausnehmung 13 hineinragt.A first way of contacting is that a tuft connector 9 using press-fit technology in the circuit board is firmly anchored and protrudes into the recess 13.

Eine andere Art der Kontaktierung besteht darin, daß in die Ausnehmung ein Drahtgeflecht bzw. Kontaktwolle eingebracht wird und in den Platten jeweils Kontaktstifte 10 fest verankert sind. Im gesteckten Zustand ragen diese Kontaktstifte 10 in das Drahtgeflecht 11 bzw. in die Kontaktwolle. Another type of contacting is that in the Recess introduced a wire mesh or contact wool is and firmly anchored in each of the plates contact pins 10 are. When plugged in, these contact pins 10 protrude in the wire mesh 11 or in the contact wool.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit der Kontaktierung besteht darin, daß ein in die Ausnehmungen eingebrachtes Drahtgeflecht bzw. eine Kontaktwolle direkt auf Kontaktflächen der Leiterplatten erfolgt. Bei dieser Lösung erspart man sich einen Einpreßvorgang.Another way of contacting is that a wire mesh or one introduced into the recesses Contact wool is made directly on the contact surfaces of the printed circuit boards. This solution saves one press-in process.

Fig. 5 zeigt schematisch eine Draufsicht auf eine Baugruppenleiterplatte 3 wobei die Öffnungen 15 für die Kontaktfedern 5 und die Öffnungen 16 für die Schirmkontaktierungsstifte zu erkennen sind. In Fig. 4 ist eine rückwandseitige Draufsicht auf eine Federleiste 1 gezeigt sowie mehrere teilweise Schnitte in den Schnittebenen A, B und C.Fig. 5 shows schematically a top view of an assembly circuit board 3, the openings 15 for the contact springs 5 and the openings 16 for the shield contact pins are recognizable. 4 is a rear view from above shown on a female connector 1 and several partially Cuts in section planes A, B and C.

Um an den Kontaktstellen für das Erdpotential bzw. Schirmableitung den Übergangswiderstand weiter zu reduzieren werden neben den oben angegebenen Maßnahmen zusätzlich die Endrohre an vier diagonal gegenüberliegenden Stellen im wesentlichen kreisbogenförmig ausgeschnitten, derart, daß die nicht ausgeschnittenen Abschnitte die Begrenzung der Ausnehmung bilden, d.h. der Schirmkontaktierung dienen. Dadurch wird gemäß der Strömungslehre das Fließverhalten des Stroms verbessert. Durch diese konstruktive Maßnahme wird eine Wirbelbildung und damit ein zusätzlicher Widerstand weitgehend vermieden. Dadurch ist es auch möglich, den Übergang von Rohr zu Stift der Leiterplatten so nah wie möglich an die Erdpotentialschicht der Platten heranzuführen und damit die gemeinsame Leitungslänge mit dem Nachbarrohr wegen eines evtl. Rückflusses ins Nachbarrohr so gering als möglich zu halten.To at the contact points for earth potential or shield derivation will further reduce the contact resistance in addition to the measures specified above, the tailpipes essentially at four diagonally opposite points cut out in a circular arc, such that the non-cut ones Sections form the boundary of the recess, i.e. serve as shield contact. This will, according to the Fluid dynamics improves the flow behavior of the current. Through this constructive measure a vortex formation and thus largely avoiding additional resistance. Thereby it is also possible to make the transition from tube to pin Printed circuit boards as close as possible to the earth potential layer of the plates and thus the common line length with the neighboring pipe because of a possible backflow into the Keep neighboring pipe as low as possible.
