Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Bestücken eines mit einer Vielzahl von Einzeldrähten versehenen Kabels, vorzugsweise Rundkabels, mit einem mehrpoligen, vorzugsweise flachen Stecker nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und auf einen bei einem derartigen Verfahren verwendeten Kabelstecker nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 6.The present invention relates to a method for equipping one with a large number of individual wires provided cable, preferably round cable, with a multipole, preferably flat connector according to the Preamble of claim 1 and one at a Such methods used cable connector after Preamble of claim 6.

Bei einem bekannten Verfahren dieser Art werden die vom Kabelmantel freigelegten Einzeldrähte an ihrem freien Ende abisoliert und dann mit auf einer Rolle angelieferten Kontakten verbunden. Sind die Kontakte mit Crimpanschlüssen versehen, werden die abisolierten Enden der Einzeldrähte auf die Crimpanschlüsse gelegt und mit Hilfe einer Einrichtung (einer Crimpmaschine) angeschlagen. Gleichzeitig werden die Kontakte voneinander getrennt. Die mit den Kontakten versehenen Einzeladern werden dann in einen Stecker eingebracht.In a known method of this type, the Cable sheath exposed individual wires on their free Stripped end and then on a roll delivered contacts connected. Are the contacts with Provided crimp connections, the stripped ends of the individual wires placed on the crimp connections and with Help of a device (a crimping machine) struck. At the same time, the contacts separated from each other. The ones with the contacts Single wires are then inserted into a connector.

Wenn die Stecker und damit die Kontakte kleiner werden, wie es bspw. bei PCMCIA-Kabelsteckern der Fall ist, wird die Verarbeitung sehr schwierig. Außerdem steigt bei kleiner werdenden Teile die Gefahr der Beschädigung der Kontakte. Das Bestücken der Kontakte kann dabei oft dann nur noch unter dem Mikroskop erfolgen, was sehr aufwendig ist. Außerdem muß zur Sicherstellung der Qualität des Produktes ein hoher Aufwand getrieben werden. Da die freien Endbereiche des Kabels schon vor dem Einbringen in den Stecker auf gleiche Länge abgeschnitten werden, muß im Stecker ein Stauraum für die innenliegenden Einzeldrähte vorhanden sein, was wiederum einer erwünschten Miniaturisierung zuwider läuft.When the plugs and thus the contacts get smaller, as is the case with PCMCIA cable plugs, for example processing very difficult. It also increases shrinking parts the risk of damage to the Contacts. The contacts can often be populated only done under the microscope, which is very expensive is. In addition, to ensure the quality of the Product a high effort to be driven. Since the free end areas of the cable before inserting it in the plug must be cut to the same length in the plug a storage space for the inside Individual wires are present, which in turn is one desired miniaturization runs counter.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Verfahren zum Bestücken eines Kabels mit einem Stecker der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das in kostengünstigerer Weise durchgeführt werden kann und bei dem die Gefahr der Beschädigungen der kleinen Kontakte stark reduziert ist. Außerdem soll ein entsprechender sehr kleinbauender Kabelstecker bereitgestellt werden.The object of the present invention is therefore a Method of populating a cable with a plug to create the kind mentioned in the can be carried out more cheaply and at which the risk of damage to the small contacts is greatly reduced. In addition, a corresponding very small cable connector can be provided.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind bei einem Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale und bei einem Kabelstecker der genannten Art die im Anspruch 6 angegebenen Merkmale vorgesehen.To solve this problem are in a method of the type mentioned in claim 1 Features and with a cable connector of the type mentioned provided in claim 6 features.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist es möglich, die Kontakte automatisch und kostengünstig vorzumontieren. Gleichzeitig kann die Kabelvorbereitung zum Anschließen an die einzelnen Kontakte schneller und sicherer durchgeführt werden; dasselbe gilt für die mit Hilfe einer Maschine möglichen Verbindungen von Kabelenden und Kontakten. Die Gefahr der Beschädigung der kleinen Kontakte ist durch deren Vormontage und deren maschinelle Verbindung mit den Einzeldrahtenden auf ein Minimum reduziert. Desweiteren ist die Qualitätsicherung vereinfacht, so daß ein einfach herzustellender und zu montierender Kabelstecker vorgesehen werden kann, der u.a. auch wegen des nicht notwendigen Kabelenden-Stauraumes sehr kleinbauend ist.The measures according to the invention make it possible to Pre-assemble contacts automatically and inexpensively. At the same time, the cable preparation can be connected to the individual contacts faster and more securely be performed; the same goes for those with help possible connections of cable ends and a machine Contacts. The risk of damage to the small Contacts is due to their pre-assembly and their mechanical Connection with the single wire ends to a minimum reduced. Furthermore, quality assurance simplified, so that an easy to manufacture and to mounting cable connector can be provided, the i.a. also because of the unnecessary storage space for the cable ends is very small.

Eine weitere Vereinfachung der Kabelvorbereitung ergibt sich dann, wenn die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 2 vorgesehen sind. A further simplification of the cable preparation results itself when the features are provided according to claim 2 are.

Mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 3 ist erreicht, daß die Abdeckplatte gleichzeitig auch den Kontaktgabebereich abdecken und damit schützen kann.With the features according to claim 3 it is achieved that the Cover plate also the contact area can cover and thus protect.

Die elektrische Kontaktgabe zwischen den abisolierten Einzeldrahtelementen und den Anschlußelementen der Kontakte kann bspw. in einem Arbeitsgang mittels Löten erfolgen. Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel vorliegender Erfindung jedoch sind die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 4 vorgesehen. Auch das Crimpen kann in vorteilhafter Weise mit Hilfe eines einzigen Werkzeugs in einem Arbeitsgang bei allen Einzeldrähten gleichzeitig erfolgen.The electrical contact between the stripped Single wire elements and the connection elements of the Contacts can be soldered in one operation, for example respectively. According to an embodiment Invention, however, are the features according to claim 4 intended. Crimping can also be advantageous with the help of a single tool in one operation with all individual wires at the same time.

Mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 5 ist erreicht, daß die Gefahr des Drahtbruchs stark reduziert ist. Durch die vorhergehenden Maßnahmen ist außerdem sichergestellt, daß die Einzeldrähte beim Umspritzen durch den hohen Spritzdruck nicht weggespült werden.With the features according to claim 5 it is achieved that the Risk of wire breakage is greatly reduced. Through the previous measures also ensure that the individual wires when overmoulding through the high Spray pressure should not be washed away.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Kabelsteckers ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen eines oder mehrerer der Ansprüche 7 bis 10.Advantageous configurations of the cable connector result from the features of one or more of the claims 7 to 10.

Die Endbereiche der Einzeldrähte 19 werden dann im trapezförmigen Teil 13 geradlinig verlegt und einzeln in die Kanäle 14 eingerastet. Das Einbringen der Einzeldrähte 19 in den Drahthalter 11 wird derart vorgenommen, daß alle freien Enden 23 in einem bestimmten Mindestlängenmaß über die Stirn 24 des Drahthalters 11 überstehen. Die freien Enden 23 werden dann so abgeschnitten, daß sie gemäß Figur 1A in gleichmäßiger Länge über die Stirn 24 hinausragen. Daraufhin werden die freien Enden 23 auf einer bestimmten Länge, vorzugsweise nicht auf der gesamten die Stirn 24 überragenden Längen abisoliert. Dieser Zustand ist in Figur 1A dargestellt.
The free end areas of the individual wires 19 of a cable 22 are populated with the cable connector 10 in the following way:
The end regions of the individual wires 19 of the cable 22 are first freed from the sheath 21 over a certain length. The end regions of the individual wires 19 are then laid in a straight line in the trapezoidal part 13 and individually snapped into the channels 14. The introduction of the individual wires 19 into the wire holder 11 is carried out in such a way that all free ends 23 project beyond the face 24 of the wire holder 11 to a certain minimum length. The free ends 23 are then cut off so that they protrude in a uniform length over the forehead 24 according to FIG. 1A. The free ends 23 are then stripped to a certain length, preferably not over the entire length that extends beyond the forehead 24. This state is shown in Figure 1A.

Der Kontaktträger 36 ist in der in Figur 1B dargestellten Weise vormontiert. Der Kontaktträger 36 wird mit seiner Muffe 51 über die Zungen 29 geschoben und im hinteren Teil der beiden Zungen 29 verrastet, wie dies Figur 2 zeigt. In diesem Zwischenmontageschritt liegt jeweils ein abisoliertes freies Ende 23 der Einzeldrähte 19 im Anschlußelement 44 eines Kontaktes 42 oder ist diesem unmittelbar benachbart. Mit Hilfe eines einzigen Werkzeuges werden dann die Anschlußelemente 44 derart bearbeitet, daß die abisolierten Drahtenden an die Anschlußelemente 44 der Kontakte 42 angecrimpt werden. Es versteht sich, daß es auch möglich ist, die abisolierten freien Enden 23 der Einzeldrähte 19 mit entsprechend ausgebildeten Anschlußelementen der Kontakte 42 in einem Arbeitsgang zu verlöten.The contact carrier 36 is shown in FIG. 1B Way pre-assembled. The contact carrier 36 is with his Sleeve 51 pushed over the tongues 29 and in the rear Part of the two tongues 29 locked, as shown in FIG. 2 shows. In this intermediate assembly step there is one stripped free end 23 of the individual wires 19 in Connection element 44 of a contact 42 or this is immediately adjacent. With the help of one Then the connecting elements 44 become such a tool edited that the stripped wire ends to the Terminal elements 44 of the contacts 42 are crimped on. It it goes without saying that it is also possible to remove the stripped free ends 23 of the individual wires 19 with accordingly trained connecting elements of the contacts 42 in one Soldering operation.

Der Kabelstecker 10 besitzt ferner eine Abdeckplatte 56, die gemäß Figur 2 nach dem Arbeitsgang der Kontaktgabe von abisolierten Einzeldrahtenden 23 und Kontaktanschlußelementen 44 durch Aufrasten auf den Drahthalter 11 befestigt wird. Die Abdeckplatte 56 ist dabei so geformt und so groß, daß sie den Drahthalter 11 vollständig überdeckt und darüber hinaus jenseits der Stirn 24 des Drahthalters 11 die Bereiche der Kontaktgabe zwischen Einzeldrahtenden 23 und Kontaktanschlußelementen 44 im wesentlichen überdeckt, wie dies Figur 2 zeigt. Die Abdeckplatte 56 besitzt eine Ausnehmung 27' und entsprechend dem Drahthalter 11 einen Rücksprung 28'.The cable connector 10 also has a cover plate 56, that according to Figure 2 after the contact making operation of stripped individual wire ends 23 and Contact connection elements 44 by snapping onto the Wire holder 11 is attached. The cover plate 56 is shaped and large enough to hold the wire holder 11 completely covered and beyond Forehead 24 of the wire holder 11 the areas of contact between individual wire ends 23 and contact connection elements 44 substantially covered, as shown in Figure 2. The Cover plate 56 has a recess 27 'and corresponding to the wire holder 11, a recess 28 '.

In einem abschließenden Arbeitsgang wird gemäß Figur 3 der so an das Kabel 22 angeschlossene und zusammengebaute Kabelstecker 10 mit Kunststoff umspritzt, so daß sich eine Hülle 57 ergibt, die von der Leiste 37 des Kontaktträgers 36 bis zum Kabel 22 reicht. Die Hülle 57 umgibt dabei den Drahthalter 11, die Abdeckplatte 56 und einen dem Kabelstecker 10 benachbarten Bereich des mit seinem Mantel 21 versehenen Kabels 22. Als Begrenzung für die Hülle 57 zum Kontaktträger 36 hin ist dessen Leiste 37 derart ausgebildet, daß sie den Drahthalter 11 und die Abdeckplatte 56 um die Dicke der zu umspritzenden Hülle 57 rundum überragt.In a final operation, according to FIG. 3 the so connected to the cable 22 and assembled Injection molded cable connector 10 with plastic so that an envelope 57 results from the bar 37 of the Contact carrier 36 extends to the cable 22. The shell 57 surrounds the wire holder 11, the cover plate 56 and an area adjacent to the cable connector 10 with his jacket 21 provided cable 22. As a limitation for the sleeve 57 to the contact carrier 36 is its bar 37 designed such that they the wire holder 11 and the Cover plate 56 around the thickness of the sheath to be molded 57 towering all around.
