Definitions

  • the invention relates to a two-storey, multi-pin connector pin strip with electrical connections, which lie one above the other in the two floors, and with a housing made of electrically insulating plastic.
  • double-decker connector strips which are arranged in particular on printed circuit boards, special double-decker housings with staggered floors are provided, in which the individual electrical connections and their pins are then arranged.
  • manufacture of such double-decker connector strips is complicated because they have to work with complex plug face cores on both floors. Very expensive special tools are therefore required to manufacture the housings.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a double-decker, multi-pole connector strip which is simple to manufacture and is particularly flexible and easy to use.
  • the solution according to the invention essentially consists of a carrier housing, each with a plug-in receptacle on each floor, into which single-level connector strips with their housings are inserted.
  • Such a carrier housing can be produced simply and inexpensively in a short production time by eliminating plug-in face cores using an inexpensive tool.
  • Commercially available single-level connector strips can be used, which are used with their housings in such a simple manner in such a carrier housing.
  • the arrangement becomes particularly simple when commercially available, single-level connector strips are used, in which a one-piece connector pin is used in their housing as an electrically conductive connector as a whole, i.e. both for connection to the printed circuit board and for inserting a connector.
  • the plug-in receptacle of the carrier housing is open on the lower floor downwards and to the front, and a multi-pin connector strip with angled connector pins is inserted therein.
  • a multi-pin connector strip with angled connector pins is inserted therein. This can be accomplished in a very simple manner by inserting the commercially available connector pin strip into the plug receptacle from below.
  • the commercially available pin headers are provided with connector elements for which there are counterparts interacting with them in the plug receptacle of the carrier housing.
  • the plug-in receptacle of the carrier housing on the upper floor is a shaft which is open to the front and into which the housing of a one-level pin header is inserted from the front. Angled pins can then also be inserted from the rear into the housing of the one-level pin strip and in corresponding receptacles in the carrier housing.
  • the double-decker, multi-pin connector strip according to the invention includes a carrier housing 1 made of electrically insulating plastic, which is of two-tier design, that is to say has two tiers, with one plug-in receptacle 2 or 3 being located on each tier.
  • These plug-in receptacles 2 and 3 are configured so that commercially available single-level connector strips 4 with their housings 5 can be used therein.
  • the plug-in receptacles 2 and 3 can be produced easily, in particular from the tool side, without the use of plug-in face cores.
  • the plug-in receptacle 2 of the lower level of the carrier housing 1 is open at the bottom and towards the front of the two-level connector strip.
  • a first commercially available, single-level connector pin 4 with its housing 5 can be used therein.
  • a pin header 4 with angled pins 6 is used.
  • the angled connection pins thus provide the conductive connection and the connection possibility, for example, to one Printed circuit board, and on the other hand also the connection possibility for a connector to be connected, to be inserted in this connector pin 4, corresponding number of poles or a connector system with a corresponding total number of poles.
  • the commercially available connector strips 4 have connector elements 7 on the back, which define T-slots 8 in their juxtaposition between them.
  • matching T-pieces 9 are formed in the plug-in receptacle 2 in the lower level of the carrier housing 1 and are oriented downwards in terms of their longitudinal extent, so that when the connector pin strip 4 is inserted from below into the plug-in receptacle 2 of the carrier housing 1, these T-pieces 9 can enter the T-slots 8 and thus a stable, form-locking locking is given to the front side and thus the plug connection direction with respect to the angled connecting pins 6.
  • 9 clamping beads 10 are provided on both sides in the end regions on each of a few T-pieces for the clamping, stable fixing of the housing 5 of the connector pin 4 in the plug-in direction, that is, downwards, which are located on the opposite housing region of the housing 5 in the region of the T-slots 8 jam.
  • the number of clamping beads 10 can vary with the size of the load to be expected, in particular also vibration load. If necessary, 9 clamping beads 10 can be provided on all T-pieces.
  • the angled connector pin 6 for the lower terminal block 4 is shown as an individual part with a corresponding plug-in direction in the explosive diagram for reasons of illustration. In practice, however, the connector strips 4, which are commercially available with these angled connecting pins 6, are inserted in their entirety into the lower plug receptacle 2 of the carrier housing 1 in one operation, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • the plug-in receptacle 3 of the carrier housing 1 on the upper floor is a shaft which is open to the front.
  • the housing 5 of a commercially available terminal strip 4 is initially used, namely from the front.
  • the connector elements 7 forming the T-slots 8 on the back of the housing 5 of the connector pin 4 are used for positive fixing in the shaft-shaped plug-in receptacle 3 of the support housing 1.
  • the inner surface of the upper shaft wall 11 of the support housing 1 in a number corresponding to the number of T-slots 8 small, slightly protruding locking pieces 12 are provided.
  • the upper shaft wall 11 is a little bit deformable overall due to its design. When the housing 5 is inserted, the latching pieces 12 can therefore snap into the transverse legs of the T-slots 8 from above, as shown in particular in FIG. 1.
  • the two-level connector pin strip is fully assembled in that after inserting the housing 5 into the upper plug-in receptacle 3 of the carrier housing 1, correspondingly long, angled connector pins 6 'with a view to the assembly of the upper level through corresponding recesses in the carrier housing 1 into the housing 5 of the connector pin strip 4 are inserted to complete them.
  • corresponding receptacles 13 are provided in the back of the carrier housing 1.
  • the connection pins 6 ' have the usual clamping bead 14, with which they can be firmly clamped in a corresponding receiving area of the pin strip housing 5.
  • a two-storey, multi-pin connector pin strip is provided, in which the two commercially available, single-storey connector pin strips 4 with their housings 5 lie one above the other in one plane in the two floors.
  • the plug receptacles are readily possible with a corresponding design of the carrier housing 2 and 3 in the two floors to be offset in a step-like manner, so that the pin strips 4 in the upper and lower levels are offset in a step-like manner, as is known for double-decker, multi-pin connector strips.
  • 1 pin strips with the same number of poles do not have to be used in the upper or lower level of the carrier housing.
  • the plug-in receptacles 2 and 3 are open at the side and can therefore accommodate commercially available, single-level connector strips 4, the number of poles of which is significantly greater than the number of poles of the carrier housing 1. Therefore, the number of poles of the pin strips 4 can vary from floor to floor.
