Abstract

Bei einer Kontaktleiste für in Sandwich-Bauweise angeordnete Leiterplatten mit einem Isolierkörper und einer Anzahl von im Rasterabstand x darin angeordneten Kontaktelementen, von denen jedes einen Lagerabschnitt zu seiner Fixierung im Isolierkörper sowie zwei mit den zueinander weisenden Leiterbahnen der Leiterplatten zu kontaktierende Kontaktschenkel aufweist, ist der Lagerabschnitt als in einen Isoliergehäuseschlitz einsetzbare, in dieselbe Richtung wie die Kontaktschenkel weisende sowie zwischen ihnen angeordnete Zunge ausgebildet. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist der Lagerabschnitt um einen Rasterabstand x seitlich neben der von den Kontaktschenkeln definierten Ebene angeordnet. Wenn dabei die Kontaktelemente von Pol zu Pol gegensinnig im Isolierkörper angeordnet werden, liegen der Lagerabschnitt eines Kontaktelements in derselben Ebene wie die Kontakschenkel des benachbarten Kontaktelements, wodurch sich eine hohe Kontaktdichte bzw. Polzahl erreichen läßt.

Figure 00000001
In the case of a contact strip for printed circuit boards arranged in sandwich construction with an insulating body and a number of contact elements arranged therein at grid spacing x, each of which has a bearing section for fixing it in the insulating body and two contact legs to be contacted with the mutually facing conductor tracks of the printed circuit boards Bearing section designed as insertable into an insulating housing slot, pointing in the same direction as the contact legs and arranged between them. In a preferred embodiment, the bearing section is arranged laterally by a grid spacing x next to the plane defined by the contact legs. If the contact elements are arranged from pole to pole in opposite directions in the insulating body, the bearing section of a contact element lies in the same plane as the contact limbs of the adjacent contact element, as a result of which a high contact density or number of poles can be achieved.
