Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- both the printed circuit board and an electrical conductor are electrically connected by means of plug-in assembly to the contact spring lying in the insulating housing of the connector.
- both the circuit board-connector connection and the connector-conductor connection are realized by a direct plug connection.
- a disadvantage of the known connector is the complex design of the contact spring.
- connection end causes the metal sleeve to be pressurized when the conductor is inserted. The connection end then returns to its starting position and engages behind the metal sleeve for locking the conductor in the insulating housing.
- the invention has for its object to simplify the plug-in assembly of a connector of the type mentioned and to improve its operational safety. This object is achieved by the combination of features of claim 1.
- connection end of the contact spring acts directly on the conductor inserted into the insulating housing with spring force for the electrical connection and at the same time for the clamp fixation of the conductor on the plug connector. Due to their spring elasticity, the connection end adapts to different outer contours of the conductor or the conductor end, without any loss of electrical connection reliability of the conductor in the insulating housing of the connector. Different types of conductors can therefore be connected to the connector at the connector according to the invention by a simple plug-in process. This supports the universal applicability of the connector according to the invention. For example, the stripped conductor end of a conventional conductor can also be connected to the connector.
- connection end can be preprogrammed to a certain extent by appropriate processing of the contact spring and / or by the spring constant of the selected spring material.
- connection end of the contact spring can be adapted even better to different conductor cross sections. According to the invention, it is therefore possible, without any design changes to the insulating housing, that contact springs of identical design have connection ends with different spring force if conductors with different line cross sections are to be connected to a multipole connector.
- connection end is designed in the manner of a barb and additionally acts on the conductor with a holding force which is effective approximately in the insertion direction and which prevents the conductor from being pulled out of the insulating housing of the plug connector in an undesired manner.
- this barb is technically simply formed by an angled portion of the contact spring, whereby the connection end is also constructed to save space.
- the conductor automatically bends the connection end against the spring force when it is inserted into the insulating housing. When the conductor is fully inserted, the connection end also springs back automatically and clamps the conductor with its spring force.
- the contact spring is slotted longitudinally at the connection end, so that two mutually independent conductors can be connected to the same contact spring per connection pole.
- the conductors have a small cross section, e.g. is the case in telecommunications.
- two conductors with the same pole can advantageously be mechanically and electrically connected.
- connection end is limited during the manufacture or release of the clamp fixation. This ensures that the connection end acted upon from the outside by the inserted conductor or an assembly tool has a constant spring force over a long operating time.
- the measure according to claim 5 supports the mechanically stable support of the externally loaded and thereby pivoted connection end on the stop tab.
- Claims 6 and 7 enable a mechanically reliable hold and fit of the plug connector, in particular that plugged onto a printed circuit board Connector. According to claim 7, the mechanical and electrical contact pressure of the contact spring on an electrical contact point, in particular on the contact field of a printed circuit board, is further improved.
- Claim 8 supports the positional securing of the entire contact spring within the insulating housing of the connector.
- the contact spring is simply inserted into the insulating housing from an assembly point of view and automatically engages there.
- a catch element which is preferably connected in one piece to the contact spring and which interacts with a fixing lug formed in the insulating housing, serves as the locking means. This prevents the contact spring from being accidentally pulled out of the insulating housing against the direction of insertion.
- a deliberate release of the latched contact spring can be provided by means of suitable measures and / or by means of assembly tools which engage in the insulating housing.
- the rear engagement part for securing the position of the contact spring is arranged in a mechanically stable and space-saving manner on the spring base body of the contact spring.
- Claim 10 supports the manufacture and use of the contact spring as an inexpensive mass article.
- Claim 11 favors a space-saving structure of the contact spring. This advantageously further miniaturizes the entire connector.
- Claim 12 favors the division of the contact spring into two mutually independent lever arms.
- the circuit board and the conductor can therefore advantageously be electrically contacted independently of one another with the contact spring, without there being any impairments in the clamping fixation or the electrical contacting by the respective other lever arm.
- the measure according to claim 13 makes it easier for the fitter to insert a conductor into the connector in accordance with the assembly.
- the measure according to claim 14 creates a continuous development of the plug-in assembly of the connector.
- one or more latching hooks are arranged on the insulating housing, which latch in a springy manner. In cooperation with a circuit board, these latching hooks engage in corresponding locking openings in the circuit board. In this way, the connector on the circuit board is securely locked and further stabilized against unwanted changes in position.
- the contact spring itself accomplishes the clamping fixation or plug-in assembly of a conductor and an element to be contacted. Since the contact spring is made of electrically conductive metal, it has consistently good thermal and mechanical properties over a long period of operation. As a result, standardization requirements for the clamp fixation or plug-in assembly can be easily met. In addition, due to the elimination of thermal / mechanical loads, the insulating housing can be produced from a comparatively inferior and therefore inexpensive insulating plastic.
- the connector can be inserted in different relative positions, in particular both horizontally and vertically. This allows the connector to be space-savingly adapted to different space conditions or required relative positions.
- Claim 18 proposes a particularly simple and mechanically stable plug connection between the contact spring and an element to be contacted.
- This element is in particular a contact pin of the printed circuit board, which can be positioned differently on the printed circuit board.
- This " indirect" plug-in assembly between contact spring and printed circuit board results compared to plugging the connector directly onto the edge of the PCB ( direct “plug-in assembly) more variable positioning options for the connector on the circuit board.
- Claim 19 additionally stabilizes the plug-in assembly.
- the diametrical slot allows the tulip contact to be adapted in the manner of a spring contact to differently dimensioned contact pins or elements to be contacted.
- Claim 20 creates a particularly stable configuration of the contact spring, the components projecting beyond the spring base body being an integral part of the contact spring.
- Claim 23 proposes a stable metal abutment for the spring leg-like connection end. This improves the clamping force exerted on the connected conductor.
- the measure according to claim 24 makes it easier for the fitter to insert a conductor into the connector in accordance with the assembly.
- each pole of the connector is preferably identical, so that structurally identical contact springs can also be used in the insulating housing.
- the number of components to be stored for the implementation of all embodiments of the connector therefore remains low. Due to the identical design of the connection poles of the insulating housing, similar molds can be used for the cost-effective production of the plug connectors.
- the multi-pin connector is a more compact and mechanically stable unit. At the same time, even on a multi-pole connector with a large number of poles, the connection of many conductors remains clear and easy to install.
- the electrical connector 1 has an insulating housing 2 and, depending on the number of poles, one or more contact springs 3 arranged in the insulating housing 2 (FIG. 1, FIG. 2). 5, the plug connector 1 is plugged onto a printed circuit board 5 in the plugging direction 4 and provided with an inserted conductor 11.
- the circuit board 5 contains a plurality of conductor tracks 6, each of which is assigned an electrical contact field 7 at the end.
- a contact end 8 of the contact spring 3 is under mechanical prestress, i.e. under spring tension on a contact field 7 of the printed circuit board 5 (FIG. 5).
- the electrical connection between the contact spring 3 and the associated conductor track 6 is established by the bias.
- the contact spring 3 has a connection end 10 facing away from the contact end 8 in the spring longitudinal direction 9. (Fig.5).
- the connection end 10 can be electrically connected to a conductor 11 assigned to the contact spring 3.
- the connection end 10 acts directly on the conductor 11 with spring force. In this way, the electrical connection and at the same time a clamping fixation of the conductor 11 to the connector 1 is realized. 5 that the connection end 10 presses the conductor 11 or its stripped conductor end 12 directly against an inner wall of the insulating housing 2. This provides a good mechanical hold for the stripped end 12 in the insulating housing 2.
- connection end 10 acts upon the conductor 11, which is inserted into the insulating housing 2 in the insertion direction 13, in the manner of a barb. This barb prevents undesired removal of the conductor 11 against the insertion direction 13.
- the terminal end 10 is directed as an end section with the contact spring 3 towards the spring base body 15, i.e. bent in the bending direction 15 (Fig. 7).
- the connection end 10 and the spring base body 14 form an acute angle ⁇ of approximately 40 ° -60 °.
- connection end 10 In the assembled state of the contact spring 3, the conductor end 12 inserted into the insulating housing 2 is clamped by the free end 16 of the connection end 10 which points approximately in the direction of insertion 13, as a result of which the barb effect of the connection end 10 is produced.
- connection end 10 has a longitudinal slot 17 running in the longitudinal direction 9 of the spring. This longitudinal slot 17 extends from the free end 16 approximately to the arcuate bending point 18 of the connection end 10. Through the longitudinal slot 17, the connection end 10 is divided in two in the transverse direction 19 arranged at right angles to the spring longitudinal direction 9 to form two connection contacts 20, 21 for each conductor 11.
- the plane of the spring base body 14 is spanned by the spring longitudinal direction 9 and the transverse direction 19.
- a flap 22 is bent out from this plane towards the bent connection end 10.
- the tab 22 serves as a stop for the connecting end 10 pivoted about its bending axis 23 against the spring force. In the initial state of the bent connecting end 10 (FIG.
- the stop tab 22 is approximately at a right angle to the connecting end 10.
- the contact end 8 has one of the Plane 24 of the spring base body 14 protruding in the bending direction 15.
- the bend 24 is approximately V-shaped, the V-bottom acting on the contact field 7 of the printed circuit board 5 when the connector 1 is inserted (FIG. 5).
- the contact end 8 and the connection end 10 are on the same active side 25 of the contact spring 3 beyond the spring base body 14.
- the contact spring 3 forms a two-armed lever.
- the contact spring 3 is supported between the contact end 8 and the connection end 10 on a lever nose 26 extending transversely to the spring longitudinal direction 9 (FIG. 2, FIG. 5).
- the connection end 8 and the contact end 10 form two lever arms.
- the lever nose 26 is arranged between the contact end 8 and the stop tab 22 and is integrally formed on the housing base 27 of the insulating housing 2 facing away from the active side 25 of the contact spring 3.
- the contact spring 3 is inserted into the insulating housing 2 along its longitudinal direction 9 from the plug side 28 of the connector 1. When inserted, i.e. in the assembled state, the contact spring 3 engages behind a fixing lug 29 formed on the housing base 27 and extending transversely to the spring longitudinal direction 9 (FIG. 2, FIG. 5).
- the rear grip part of the contact spring 3 is designed as a fixing tab 30 bent out of the plane of the spring base body 14 and forming an acute angle with the spring base body 14 (FIG. 7).
- the fixing tab 30 is located in the space between the fixing lug 29 and the lever lug 26, which acts as a locking shaft 46.
- the locking shaft 46 is accessible to a fitter with the aid of a special tool. In this way, the fixing tab 30 can be acted upon and the locking of the contact spring 3 can thereby be released. In the event of maintenance or repairs, the contact spring 3 is therefore easy to replace.
- the contact spring 3 is an electrically conductive metal strip with the strip plane spanned by the spring longitudinal direction 9 and the transverse direction 19 as the spring base body 14 (FIG. 8).
- the contact spring 3 is produced by stamping and bending, the bending axes 23, 31, 32 and 33 assigned to the bending point 18, the bend 24, the stop tab 22 and the fixing tab 30 being parallel to one another (FIG. 7).
- the contact spring 3 inserted into the insulating housing 2 in the longitudinal direction 9 of the spring is supported on an abutment 34 in the assembled state.
- the abutment 34 is integrally formed on the housing base 27.
- the abutment extends transversely to the spring longitudinal direction 9 and thereby limits the insertion path of the contact spring 3 into the insulating housing 2, which extends in the spring longitudinal direction 9.
- the contact spring 3 is inserted into the insulating housing 2 from the plug side 28 of the connector 1 . Consequently, the abutment 34 is arranged on the insertion side 35 facing away from the plug-in side 28 for the conductor 11.
- the abutment 34 limits the travel of the connection end 10 or the bending point 18 against the direction of the spring force when the conductor 11 is fixed in the clamp (FIG. 5).
- the abutment 34 has a bearing groove 36 which opens towards the bending point 18 of the connection end 10 (FIG. 2).
- An end stop 38 protruding into the interior of the insulating housing 2 on the active side 25 of the connection end 10 is formed on the housing top side 37 facing away from the housing base 27. It runs transversely to the insertion direction 13 of the conductor 11 and thereby limits the insertion path of the conductor 11 (FIG. 5).
- the upper side of the housing 37 is penetrated on the active side 25 of the connection end 10 transversely to the insertion direction 13 by a viewing window 39. This viewing window 39 makes it easy to check whether the conductor 11 has been properly inserted into the insulating housing 2 or whether the conductor insulation 40 has really been removed from the conductor end 12.
- test opening 41 On the side of the end stop 38 facing away from the viewing window 39 in the spring longitudinal direction 9, the upper side 37 of the housing is penetrated by a test opening 41.
- a test tool for example a spring pin, not shown here can be inserted through the test opening 41 into the insulating housing 2 and can be electrically contacted with the contact spring 3. This makes it possible to check the functionality of the conductor tracks 6 or, quite generally, electrical variables on the printed circuit board 5.
- two locking hooks 42 projecting beyond the plug side 28 are formed on the insulating housing 2 of the connector 1.
- the latching hooks run approximately in the longitudinal direction 9 of the spring and are parallel to one another (FIGS. 1, 4).
- the two latching hooks 42 are arranged on the two outer sides of the insulating housing 2 opposite one another in the transverse direction 19.
- the latching hooks 42 engage in locking openings 43 passing through the printed circuit board 5 (FIG. 5).
- the latching hooks 42 latched in this way give the inserted connector 1 an improved mechanical hold against unwanted removal from the printed circuit board 5.
- the contact end 8 and the connection end 10 as the two lever arms of the contact spring 3 work to a certain extent independently.
- a single conductor 11 can be inserted into the insulating housing 2 through a conductor eye 44 assigned to it both when the connector 1 (FIG. 5) and when the connector 1 is not inserted (FIG. 2) and is clamped with the aid of the connection end 10.
- the clamping fixation of the conductor 11 can be released, regardless of whether the connector 1 is inserted or not.
- connection end 10 pressurizing installation tool enables the conductor end 12 to be inserted easily into the insulating housing 2 without substantial effort, since the spring force of the connection end 10 is not affected by the Head 11 must be overcome. This is particularly advantageous if the conductor end 12 is not a stable wire, but a flexible wire strand.
- each conductor end 44 of the contact spring 3, which is divided into two by the longitudinal slot 17, is assigned two conductor eyes 44.
- a test opening 41 is assigned to each contact spring 3.
- 10a shows a 2-pin connector 1 with two contact springs 3 and two test openings 41.
- FIG. 10b shows a 5-pin connector 1
- FIG. 10c shows a 12-pin connector 1.
- FIGS. 13-24 A further embodiment of the connector 1 is shown in FIGS. 13-24. Those components which already exist in the same way in the embodiment of the connector 1 according to FIGS. 1-11 are provided with the same reference numerals in the embodiment of the connector 1 to be described below and are not explained in more detail.
- the insulating housing 102 of the connector 1 according to FIGS. 13 to 24 has an insertion opening 44 for receiving and fastening the stripped conductor end 12 of a conductor 11 (FIG. 14, FIG. 17).
- the insulating housing 102 facing away from the insertion opening 44, has a contact opening 147 and a contact opening 148 as connections to the element to be contacted.
- the element to be contacted is a connection pin 107 soldered to the printed circuit board 105 (FIGS. 18 to 21).
- the contact spring 103 fixes the conductor end 12 in the area of the insertion opening 44 and at the same time forms the connecting part to the contact pin 107. So that the connector 1 can be connected to a contact pin 107, the contact spring 103 is in the area of the contact opening 147 and in the area of the contact opening 148 of each penetrates a cylindrical connection opening. The opening edge of these connection openings is flanged into the insulating housing 102 in the manner of a tulip contact 124 (FIG. 19, FIG. 21). The tulip contact 124 interacts in the manner of a contact socket with the complementary contact pin 107.
- the central longitudinal axes 149 and 150 of the two tulip contacts 124 are at right angles to one another (FIG. 19, FIG. 21). In other words, the plug-in directions 4, 162 of the two tulip contacts 124 are at right angles to one another.
- rectilinear (Fig. 18) and right-angled (Fig. 20) contact pins 107 there are four different versions of the plugging processes and different relative positions of the connector 1 to the printed circuit board 105.
- Two cylindrical fixing pins 159 are formed on the insulating housing 102, which are formed over a housing base 127 of the insulating housing 102 protrude.
- the inserted connector 1 with the fixing pin 159 is supported either on the printed circuit board 105 or on a pin housing 161 receiving the bent contact pins 107.
- the tulip contact 124 is diametrically slotted by means of a longitudinal slot 151 or 152 running in the spring longitudinal direction 9 (FIG. 24).
- the longitudinal slot 151 is extended at one longitudinal end by a circular slot end 160, the longitudinal slot 152 by the rectangular shape of the fixing tab 30 in order to ensure sufficient elasticity of the tulip contacts 124.
- the contact spring 103 is an electrically conductive metal strip with a spring base body 114 lying in the plane of the strip or the drawing plane.
- the contact spring 103 has a plurality of partial strips separated from one another by bending edges 154, 155, 156.
- the partial strips are the spring base body 114, the spring roof 153, a spring side wall 157 connecting the spring base body 114 to the spring roof 153 and a connecting plate 158.
- the rectangular connecting plate 158 is separated from the spring side wall 157 by the bending edge 156 running in the transverse direction 19. In the final bending state, the immediately adjacent partial strips separated from each other by a bending edge are at right angles to each other and thereby form a cuboid box spring (Fig. 22, Fig. 23).
- connection plate 158 arranged in the region of the contact end 108 is penetrated centrally by a tulip contact 124.
- Another Tulip contact 124 passes through spring base body 114 in the region of its contact end 108 facing away from connection end 10 in spring longitudinal direction 9.
- the spring roof 153 has a tab-like end stop 138 that can be angled from its strip plane to limit the travel of the conductor end 12 in the insertion direction 13.
- the end stop 138 is arranged in the direction toward the spring base body 114 at right angles to the spring roof 153.
- the spring roof 153 is penetrated by a rectangular actuating slot 139.
- the insulating housing 102 is penetrated by a slot corresponding to the actuating slot 139.
- a tool for example the blade of a screwdriver, can be passed through the actuating slot 139.
- the free ends 16 of the contact spring 3 are pressed down in the bending direction 15, thereby clearing the way for the conductor 11 to the end stop for inserting the conductor 11 into the connector 1.
- the free end 16 springs back against the conductor 11 and holds it tight.
- the spring roof 153 is penetrated by a cylindrical test opening 141.
- the test opening 141 is aligned with the tulip contact 124 of the spring base body 114 (FIG. 23).
- the test opening 141 receives the straight contact pin 107, which is particularly high in construction, approximately in a form-fitting manner (FIG. 19).
- the two contact springs 203 lie opposite one another in the direction of spring force in the insulating housing 202 of the connector 1 arranged (Fig.12).
- the two contact springs 203 are identical.
- the contact spring 203 is, as it were, a combination of components of the contact spring 103 in the region of the connection end 10 and from the contact end 8 of the contact spring 3. With their contact ends 8, the two contact springs 203 clamp the circuit board 5 between them.
- Such a clamping of the circuit board 5 is particularly advantageous when the circuit board 5 is printed on both sides with conductor tracks 6. In this case, the clamping of the circuit board 5 can be used simultaneously from both sides for electrical contacting of conductor tracks 6 or contact fields 7.
- the contact end 8 of the contact spring 3, 203 is designed such that the part of the contact end 8 which acts on the conductor track 6 is integrally connected as a contact surface, for example by soldering to the conductor track 6.
- connector 1 is suitable for SMD (Surface Mounting Device) technology.
- additional feet are often arranged on the insulating housing of the connector 1, which are used in SMD technology to be able to absorb the tensile and compressive forces acting on the insulating housing during the mating processes and to relieve the solder joint.
