Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine doppelstöckige, mehrpolige Anschlußstiftleiste mit elektrischen Anschlüssen, die in den beiden Etagen übereinanderliegen, und mit einem Gehäuse aus elektrisch isolierendem Kunststoff. Bei den bekannten doppelstöckigen Anschlußstiftleisten, die insbesondere auf Leiterplatten angeordnet werden, sind spezielle doppelstöckige, etagenweise versetzte Aufnahmeräume habende Gehäuse vorgesehen, in denen dann die einzelnen elektrischen Anschlüsse und deren Stifte angeordnet werden. Abgesehen von Montageproblemen sind die Gehäuse derartiger doppelstöckiger Anschlußstiftleisten in ihrer Herstellung kompliziert, da in beiden Etagen mit komplexen Steckgesichtkernen gearbeitet werden muß. Zur Herstellung der Gehäuse werden somit sehr teure Spezialwerkzeuge benötigt. Bezüglich derartiger vorbekannter doppelstöckiger Anschlußstiftleisten ist beispielsweise auf die EP 0 584 481 A2 zu verweisen.The invention relates to a double-decker, multi-pin connector strip with electrical Connections that are on top of each other on the two floors and with one Housing made of electrically insulating plastic. In the well-known double-decker Pin headers, which are arranged in particular on printed circuit boards special double-storey housings with staggered levels provided, in which the individual electrical connections and their pins to be ordered. Apart from assembly problems, the housings are more like that double-level connector strips in their manufacture complicated because in both Floors with complex mating face cores must be worked. For the production the housing therefore requires very expensive special tools. Regarding such Known two-tier connector strips is, for example, to EP 0 584 481 A2.

Es ist andererseits bekannt, eine doppelstöckige etagenmäßig versetzte Anordnung von Anschlußklemmen dadurch zu erreichen, daß man beispielsweise eine normale, einstöckige, mehrpolige Anschlußklemme direkt auf einer Leiterplatte anordnet und dann eine zweite, einstöckige, mehrpolige Anschlußklemme in gewünschtem Höhenversatz dazu mit Hilfe von Distanzblöcken anbringt. Diese Ausgestaltung ist handhabungsunbequem, insbesondere für den Anwender, der sich die gewünschte doppelstöckige Anordnung vor Ort zusammenmontieren muß.On the other hand, it is known to be a two-story staggered arrangement of connecting terminals in that, for example, a normal, arranges single-storey, multi-pole terminal directly on a circuit board and then a second, one-storey, multi-pole terminal in the desired height offset attach using spacer blocks. This configuration is inconvenient to use, especially for the user who wants the desired two-story Assembly must be assembled on site.

Es ist weiterhin aus dem DE-GM 80 09 238 ein Zweietagenklemmbaustein bekannt, bei dem eine doppelstöckige Anschlußstiftleiste durch Zusammenstecken eines aus mehreren Bauteilen bestehenden Trägerrahmens hergestellt wird, der die als Klemmen aufgebauten Klemmbausteine umhüllend aufnimmt. Damit die Anschlußstifte der hier eingesetzten Klemmbausteine unterseitig des Gehäuses des Zweietagenklemmbausteines für eine Montage und Kontaktierung passend herausragen, haben diese eine von den Normmaßen abweichende Überlänge. Die Anschlußstifte der obenliegenden Anschlußstiftleiste werden dabei über eine lange Montagestrecke in geeigneten Führungen des Gehäuses eingesteckt. Die Gesamtmontage erfolgt dergestalt, daß alle betroffenen Einzelbauteile in zweckgerichteter Aufeinanderfolge bei der Erstellung des Zweietagenklemmbausteines montiert werden.It is also known from DE-GM 80 09 238 a two-day terminal block, in which a double-level pin header by plugging one out several components existing support frame is manufactured, which as Clamping built-up clamp modules. So that the connector pins of the terminal blocks used here on the underside of the housing of the two-level terminal block protrude appropriately for assembly and contacting, they have an excess length that deviates from the standard dimensions. The connector pins The overhead pin header are used over a long assembly line inserted in suitable guides of the housing. The entire assembly takes place in such a way that all affected individual components in a purposeful sequence be assembled when creating the two-day terminal block.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine doppelstöckige, mehrpolige Anschlußstiftleiste zu schaffen, die einfach herzustellen und besonbders flexibel und handhabungsbequem anzuwenden ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object to create two-story, multi-pin connector header that is easy to manufacture and is particularly flexible and easy to use.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht im wesentlichen in einem Trägergehäuse mit jeweils einer Steckaufnahme in jeder Etage, in die jeweils einstöckige Anschlußstiftleisten mit ihren Gehäusen eingesetzt sind, wobei in der unteren Steckaufnahme 2 vor dem Einsetzen der Anschlußstiftleiste 4 in die Steckaufnahme 2 und in der oberen Steckaufnahme 3 nach dem Einsetzen der Anschlußstiftleiste 4 in die Steckaufnahme 3 abgewinkelte Anschlußstifte 6 bzw. 6' in das Gehäuse 5 der jeweiligen Anschlußstiftleiste 4 einsetzbar sind.The solution according to the invention essentially consists in a carrier housing one plug-in receptacle on each floor, in the respective one-level connector strips are used with their housings, with 2 before inserting the pin header 4 into the socket 2 and in the upper Plug receptacle 3 after inserting the pin header 4 into the plug receptacle 3 angled pins 6 and 6 'in the housing 5 of the respective pin header 4 can be used.

Ein derartiges Trägergehäuse ist durch Wegfall von Steckgesichtkernen mit einem preiswerten Werkzeug in kurzer Herstellungszeig einfach und preiswert herzustellen. Es können handelsübliche einstöckige Anschlußstiftleisten benutzt werden, die mit ihren Gehäusen in denkbar einfacher Weise in einem solchen Trägergehäuse eingesetzt werden. Die Anordnung wird dann besonders einfach, wenn handelsübliche, einstöckige Anschlußstiftleisten zum Einsatz kommen, bei denen in ihre Gehäuse als elektrisch leitender Anschluß insgesamt, also sowohl zum Anschluß an die Leiterplatte wie zum Einsetzen eines Steckverbinders, ein einstückiger einheitlicher Anschlußstift eingesetzt wird. Dieser einstückige, einheitliche Anschlußstift, der zur Kontaktierung zwischen der einstöckigen Anschlußstiftleiste beispielsweise einer Leiterplatte dient, auf der die doppelstöckige mehrpolige Anschlußstiftleiste angeordnet ist, kann hierbei vor bzw. nach dem Einsetzen der jeweiligen Anschlußstiftleiste in die zugeordnete Steckaufnahme in dem Gehäuse der einstückigen Anschlußstiftleiste einsetzbar sein. Hierdurch ist es möglich, auch im teilmontierten Zustand der doppelstöckigen mehrpoligen Anschlußstiftleiste Anschlußstifte zu montieren, wodurch insbesondere die Baugruppenbildung vormontierbarer Einheiten erleichtert wird. Hierbei kann durchaus auch eine Anschlußstiftleiste mit schon vormontierten Anschlußstiften in die untere Steckaufnahme in die doppelstöckige Anschlußstiftleiste eingesetzt werden, wohingegen die zweite Anschlußstiftleiste erst nach dem Einstecken in die obere Steckaufnahme mit den Anschlußstiften versehen wird. Hiermit ist eine weitgehende Anpassung der Montageschritte und der Montagebaugruppen an unterschiedliche räumliche Gegebenheiten der doppelstöckigen mehrpoligen Anschlußstiftleiste erzielbar.Such a carrier housing is due to the omission of plug-in face cores inexpensive tool in a short manufacturing process easy and inexpensive to manufacture. Commercially available single-level connector strips can be used with their housings used in such a simple manner in such a carrier housing will. The arrangement becomes particularly simple when commercial, single-level connector strips are used, in which in their housing as electrically conductive connection as a whole, i.e. both for connection to the printed circuit board how to insert a connector, a one-piece unitary Connector pin is used. This one-piece, uniform connector pin, which is used for Contacting between the one-story pin header, for example Printed circuit board is used, on which the two-story multi-pin connector strip is arranged is here before or after inserting the respective pin header in the associated connector in the housing of the one-piece pin header be applicable. This makes it possible, even in the partially assembled state double-storey multi-pin connector header to mount connector pins in particular, the assembly of pre-assembled units facilitated becomes. A pin header with pre-assembled can also be used Pins in the lower socket in the two-level pin header are used, whereas the second pin header is only plugged in is provided in the upper connector with the connecting pins. Herewith is extensive adaptation of the assembly steps and assembly assemblies Different spatial conditions of the double-decker multi-pin connector achievable.

Die Handhabungsbequemlichkeit beim Anwender resultiert daraus, daß ihm einheitlich zu handhabende doppelstöckige, mehrpolige Anschlußstiftleisten zur Verfügung stehen.The handling convenience for the user results from the fact that it is uniform Two-tier, multi-pin connector strips to be handled stand.

Die besondere Flexibilität resultiert daraus, daß nur ein derartiges Trägergehäuse für unterschiedliche Ausführungen der normalen einstöckigen Anschlußstiftleisten, beispielsweise für offene, geschlossene und Flanschausführung benötigt werden. Von besonderem Vorteil ist auch, daß dank des Trägergehäuses und seiner Bestückung mit den normalen handelsüblichen Anschlußstiftleisten Farbenmischbestückungen zur optischen Unterteilung möglich sind. Es könenn darüberhinaus in den beiden Etagen unterschiedliche Polzahlen verwirklicht werden. Zum Beispiel kann in ein sechzehnpoliges Trägergehäuse in die obere Etage eine achtpolige Anschlußstiftleiste gesteckt werden, während in die untere Etage eine zwölfpolige oder sechzehnpolige Anschlußstiftleiste eingesetzt wird, die auch trotz der größeren Polzahl in dem Trägergehäuse immer noch einen einwandfreien zuverlässigen Halt findet. The special flexibility results from the fact that only such a carrier housing for different versions of the normal single-level connector strips, for example for open, closed and flange versions are required. From Another particular advantage is that thanks to the carrier housing and its equipment with the normal commercially available connector strips, mixed colors are possible for optical subdivision. It can also be used in both Floors different number of poles can be realized. For example, in a sixteen-pin carrier housing in the upper floor an eight-pin connector be plugged in, while in the lower floor a twelve-pin or sixteen-pin Pin header is used, which despite the larger number of poles in the Carrier housing still finds a flawless reliable hold.

Gemäß einer weiteren, zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung ist die Steckaufnahme des. Trägergehäuses in der unteren Etage nach unten und zur Frontseite offen und darin eine mehrpolige Anschlußstiftleiste mit abgewinkelten Anschlußstiften eingesetzt. Dies kann in denkbar einfacher Weise dadurch vollzogen werden, daß die handelsübliche Anschlußstiftleiste von unten in die Steckaufnahme eingeschoben wird. Die handelsüblichen Anschlußstiftleisten sind mit Steckverbindungselementen versehen, für die damit zusammenwirkende Gegenstücke in der Steckaufnahme des Trägergehäuses vorhanden sind. Von besonderem Vorteil dieser Ausgestaltung ist es, daß die Anschluußstifte als maßlich übhliche Anschlußstifte ausgeführt sein können, da durch das Fehlen einer Unterplatte die Anschlußstiftleiste direkt auf einem Montageort aufsteht. Hierdurch wird unmittelbar die Verwendung von Zukaufteilen ermöglicht.According to a further expedient embodiment, the plug-in receptacle is. Carrier housing on the lower floor down and open to the front and inside a multi-pin connector with angled pins used. This can be accomplished in a very simple manner by the fact that the commercially available Pin header is inserted into the socket from below. The commercially available pin headers are provided with connector elements, for the corresponding counterparts in the plug-in receptacle of the carrier housing available. A particular advantage of this configuration is that the Connector pins can be designed as standard connector pins, because by the lack of a lower plate the connector pin stands up directly on a mounting location. This enables the use of purchased parts directly.

Gemäß einer weiteren, zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung ist die Steckaufnahme des Trägergehäuses in der oberen Etage ein zur Frontseite offener Schacht, in den das Gehäuse einer einstöckigen Anschlußstiftleiste von der Frontseite her eingesetzt ist. Auch gewinkelte Anschlußstifte können dann von der Rückseite her in das Gehäuse der einstöckigen Anschlußstiftleiste und in entsprechende Aufnahmen des Trägergehäuses eingesetzt werden.According to a further expedient embodiment, the plug-in receptacle is Carrier housing on the upper floor a shaft open to the front, in which the Housing of a one-story pin header is inserted from the front. Angled pins can also be inserted into the housing from the rear the single-level connector pin strip and in corresponding receptacles of the carrier housing be used.

Weitere besondere Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus weiteren Unteransprüchen. Diese betreffen insbesondere Verrastungs- und Klemmöglichkeiten zur Festlegung der Gehäuse der einstöckigen Anschlußstiftleisten in den Steckaufnahmen des Trägergehäuses, sowie die Festlegung der abgewinkelten Anschlußstifte der einstöckigen Anschlußstiftleiste in der oberen Etage des Trägergehäuses.Further special configurations result from further subclaims. These relate in particular to locking and clamping options for fixing the housing of the single-level connector strips in the plug-in receptacles of the carrier housing, as well as defining the angled pins of the one-story Terminal strip on the upper floor of the carrier housing.

Die obere Schachtwand 11 ist dabei aufgrund ihrer Ausgestaltung insgesamt ein klein wenig verformbar. Beim Einstecken des Gehäuses 5 können von daher die Raststücke 12 von oben in die Querschenkel der T-Nuten 8 einschnappen, wie insbesondere in Figur 1 gezeigt.In an expedient embodiment, the plug-in receptacle 3 of the carrier housing 1 on the upper floor a shaft open to the front. In these As illustrated in the figures, only the housing 5 is initially one commercially available terminal block 4, from the front, used. Also on the upper floor are the ones that form the T-slots 8 Connector elements 7 on the rear of the housing 5 of the pin header 4 the form-fitting fixing in the shaft-shaped Plug receptacle 3 of the Trägerrgehäuses 1. There are also on the inner surface the upper shaft wall 11 of the carrier housing 1 in one of the Number of T-slots 8 corresponding number of small, slightly protruding Locking pieces 12 provided. The upper shaft wall 11 is included a little bit deformable overall due to their design. When inserting the housing 5, the locking pieces 12 of Snap into the cross legs of the T-slots 8, as in particular shown in Figure 1.

Die doppelstöckige Anschlußstiftleiste wird dadurch fertigmontiert, daß nach Einbringen des Gehäuses 5 in die obere Steckaufnahme 3 des Trägergehäuses 1 nun im Hinblick auf die Bestückung der oberen Etage entsprechend lange, abgewinkelte Anschlußstifte 6' durch entsprechende Aussparungen im Trägergehäuse 1 hindurch in das Gehäuse 5 der Anschlußstiftleiste 4 zu deren Komplettierung eingesteckt werden. Für den nach unten weisenden Bereich der Anschlußstifte 6' sind dabei rückwärtig im Trägergehäuse 1 entsprechende Aufnahmen 13 vorgesehen. Die Anschlußstifte 6' haben den üblichen Klemmwulst 14, mit dem sie in einem entsprechenden aufnehmenden Bereich des Stiftleistengehäuses 5 fest verklemmt werden können.The double-level pin header is then fully assembled, that after inserting the housing 5 into the upper receptacle 3 of the Carrier housing 1 now with regard to the assembly of the upper floor correspondingly long, angled pins 6 'by appropriate Recesses in the carrier housing 1 into the housing 5 of the pin header 4 are inserted to complete them. For the after the bottom-facing area of the connecting pins 6 'are at the rear Corresponding receptacles 13 are provided in the carrier housing 1. The connector pins 6 'have the usual clamping bead 14 with which they are in a corresponding receiving area of the pin header housing 5 firmly clamped can be.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine doppelstöckige, mehrpolige Anschlußstiftleiste vorgesehen, bei der in den beiden Etagen die beiden handelsüblichen, einstöckigen Anschlußstiftleisten 4 mit ihren Gehäusen 5 im wesentlichen in einer Ebene übereinanderliegen.In the illustrated embodiment, a two-story, multi-pole Terminal strip provided, in which the two in the two floors commercially available, single-level connector strips 4 with their housings 5 lie essentially one above the other in one plane.

In Abwandlung dieser Ausführungsform ist es bei entsprechender Gestaltung des Trägergehäuses ohne weiteres möglich, die Steckaufnahmen 2 und 3 in den beiden Etagen treppenartig zueinander zu versetzen, so daß dann auch die Anschlußstiftleisten 4 in der oberen und unteren Etage treppenartig zueinander versetzt liegen, wie es bei doppelstöckigen, mehrpoligen Anschlußstiftleisten bekannt ist.In a modification of this embodiment, it is corresponding Design of the carrier housing possible without further ado, the plug-in receptacles 2 and 3 in the two floors towards each other move so that then the pin headers 4 in the upper and the lower floor are offset from each other like stairs, as is the case with double-decker, multi-pin connector strips is known.

Es ist ferner in weiterer Abwandlung ohne weiteres möglich, das Trägergehäuse 1 bezüglich der Steckaufnahmen 2 und 3 so zu gestalten, daß in den beiden Etagen die Anschlußstifte 6, 6' der Anschlußstiftleisten versetzt zueinander auf Lücke liegen, wie es ebenfalls bei doppelstökkigen, mehrpoligen Anschlußstiftleisten bekannt ist.It is also possible in a further modification without further ado, the carrier housing 1 with regard to the plug-in receptacles 2 and 3 so that in the two floors the pins 6, 6 'of the pin strips are staggered to each other, as is also the case with double-decker multipole pin headers is known.

Schließlich ist hervorzuheben, daß durchaus nicht in der oberen oder unteren Etage des Trägergehäuses 1 Anschlußstiftleisten gleicher Polzahl eingesetzt werden müssen. Die Steckaufnahmen 2 und 3 sind seitlich offen und können somit handelsübliche, einstöckige Anschlußstiftleisten 4 aufnehmen, deren Polzahl deutlich größer als die Polzahl des Trägergehäuses 1 ist. Von daher kann die Polzahl der Anschlußstiftleisten 4 von Etage zu Etage auch variieren.Finally, it should be emphasized that not at all in the upper or lower level of the carrier housing 1 connector strips with the same number of poles must be used. The sockets 2 and 3 are on the side open and can therefore use commercially available, single-level connector strips 4 record, the number of poles significantly larger than the number of poles of the carrier housing 1. Therefore, the number of poles of the connector strips 4 also vary from floor to floor.
