Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector with contacting devices for making electrical contact with contacting devices of external connections.
  • the electrical connectors must have reflection, impedance and crosstalk properties which enable distortion-free and interference-free transmission even for the highest frequencies.
  • the channels can be transmitted to be routed only over every second contact, while the contacts lying between them are grounded.
  • the number of connections usable for signal transmission is drastically reduced, so that it appears to be of little use for applications with a high signal density.
  • EP 0 486 298 A1 discloses a connector arrangement in which ground contacts are arranged offset by half a division between signal contacts, so that the signal contacts are surrounded by ground contacts when plugged in. This solution is also not ideal insofar as the individual contacts for the grounding must all be contacted individually in the printed circuit boards, making the unbundling of the signals considerably more difficult.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of developing an electrical connector in accordance with the preamble of patent claim 1 in such a way that distortions and / or interference in signal transmission can be reduced considerably in a simple and reliable manner.
  • the contact surfaces provided on the contacting devices of the electrical connector have a shape that enables a substantially overlap-free connection with contact surfaces of the contacting devices of the external connections.
  • the interference and distortion caused by reflections can even be completely eliminated when using the electrical connector according to the invention.
  • the electrical connector When using the electrical connector according to the invention, it makes sense to provide, in addition to the adaptation of the shape of the contacting devices of the external connections required for the intended contacting, in addition, in accordance with the changed circumstances, to provide a modification of the fastening thereof to the external line, which makes it possible to provide a eliminate another source of reflections in signal transmission.
  • reflection sources which can additionally be eliminated by the invention are the points at which the knife or female connectors previously used as contacting devices were pressed into a circuit board or the like.
  • the electrical connector according to the invention When using the electrical connector according to the invention with its specially aligned contact surfaces, it makes sense to use, for example, the simple design of the contacting devices of the external connections, which were previously designed as knife or female connectors, and which are specifically intended for the overlapping contact to be avoided according to the invention to replace in the form of pads on a circuit board or the like.
  • the electrical connector according to the invention therefore makes it possible for the distortions and / or disturbances which usually occur during signal transmission to be considerably and reliably reduced in a simple manner.

  • connection devices 15 for electrical contacting and connection of backplane and assembly circuit board run.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view running through different planes.
  • the channels 14 with the connecting devices 15 initially run essentially perpendicularly away from the rear wall circuit board 2 and then bend in the direction of the assembly circuit board 3.

  • FIGS. 2B and 2C show two views corresponding to FIG. 2A, only the cover and the section of the middle piece adjoining it being shown, however, only in sections.
  • both the middle piece part 13a and the cover part 12a are provided with cutouts on the sides facing one another.
  • the middle piece part and the cover part must be put together in such a way that respective cutouts in the two parts come to lie one above the other.
  • the possibility of channel formation shown in FIG. 2B has the advantage that the central piece part can be made thinner with the same stability or can be made more stable with the same thickness and, moreover, is easier to manufacture because of the less deep recesses.
