Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gerätesteckverbinder für einen Stapel kartenförmiger Datentrageranordnungen, die in bezug auf mindestens eine ihrer Kantenflächen deckungsgleich übereinanderliegend angeordnet sind und die jeweils mindestens einen integrierten Halbleiterschaltkreis und mindestens einen damit verbundenen Außenanschluß aufweisen.The invention relates to a device connector for a Stack of card-shaped data carrier arrangements, which relate overlapping on at least one of their edge surfaces are arranged and each at least an integrated semiconductor circuit and at least one have connected external connection.

Ein Gerätesteckverbinder für einen Stapel derartiger Datentrageranordnungen ist bereits in der älteren deutschen Anmeldung Nr. P 44 35 122.4 beschrieben, die hiermit in die Offenbarung einbezogen wird. Dort sind jedoch lediglich stapelbare Karten offenbart, bei denen der Außenanschluß eine Anschlußfläche aufweist, die in einer der Kantenflächen der Karte angeordnet ist. Durch diese Anordnung können mehrere solcher Karten problemlos aufeinandergelegt werden, so daß gleichzeitig eine Vielzahl gleichartiger Datentrageranordnungen ohne aufwendige zusätzliche Hilfsmittel an ein Verarbeitungsgerät angeschlossen werden kann. Für den Fall, daß die Anschlußflächen jeweils nur auf der Kantenfläche angeordnet sind, sich also nicht um die Kanten herum zu den Hauptflächen der Karte fortsetzen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Kontaktierung der Anschlüsse untereinander über eine Kontaktschiene in einer entsprechenden Anschlußbuchse hergestellt werden kann. Diese Buchse kann beispielsweise in einem Zugriffsgerät angeordnet sein, sie kann jedoch auch als Anschlußbuchse lose gehandhabt werden.A device connector for a stack of such data carrier arrangements is already in the older German application No. P 44 35 122.4 described hereby in the disclosure is included. However, there are only stackable ones Cards disclosed in which the external connection is a connection surface having in one of the edge surfaces of the card is arranged. With this arrangement, several such Cards can be easily stacked on top of each other, so that at the same time a large number of similar data carrier arrangements without complex additional aids to a processing device can be connected. In the event that the pads are only arranged on the edge surface, So don't go around the edges to the main faces of the To continue card, it is suggested that contacting of the connections with each other via a contact rail in a corresponding connector can be made. This socket can, for example, in an access device be arranged, but it can also be loose as a connection socket be handled.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Gerätesteckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der es ermöglicht, daß bei einem Kartenstapel, bei dem die Außenanschlüsse der Karten jeweils nicht flächig in einer Kantenfläche der Karten angeordnet sind, sondern bei denen die Außenanschlüsse jeweils als Kontaktmesser aus den Kantenflächen herausragen, dessen Karten also im Stapel zunächst untereinander nicht verbunden sind, der Anschluß der einzelnen Karten des Stapels an einen gemeinsamen Datenbus erst im Gerätesteckverbinder erfolgt.The object of the invention is a device connector of the type mentioned at the beginning, which makes it possible that with a deck of cards where the external connections each of the cards is not flat in an edge surface of the Cards are arranged, but where the external connections protrude from the edge surfaces as a contact knife, so the cards in the stack are not among themselves are connected, the connection of the individual cards of the stack to a common data bus only in the device connector he follows.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Gerätesteckverbinder der eingangs angegebenen Art dadurch gelöst, daß der Außenanschluß als freiliegende Kontaktfläche ausgebildet ist, die sich senkrecht zur Stapel richtung in Steckrichtung erstreckt, daß der Gerätesteckverbinder ein Gehäuse aus Isolierstoff mit einer Öffnung zum Einführen des Kartenstapels aufweist, in dem eine Anzahl von sich in Steckrichtung zur Öffnung hin erstreckenden Kontaktfedern angeordnet sind, durch die eine elektrische Verbindung der Kontaktflächen des in den Gerätesteckverbinder eingesteckten Kartenstapels untereinander und mit am Gerätesteckverbinder vorgesehenen Anschlüssen herstellbar ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved with a device connector of the type specified in that the External connection is designed as an exposed contact surface, which extends perpendicular to the stacking direction in the insertion direction, that the device connector is a housing made of insulating material with an opening for inserting the stack of cards has in which a number of themselves in the direction of insertion Contact springs extending opening are arranged, through which an electrical connection of the contact surfaces of the card stack inserted in the device connector with each other and with the device connector provided Connections can be made.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims featured.

Nachfolgend wird nun der Aufbau eines erfindungsgemäßen Gerätesteckverbinders in der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 eine geschnittene Seitenansicht des Gerätesteckverbinders und des Kartenstapels zu Beginn des Einsteckvorganges und
  • Figur 2 eine geschnittene Draufsicht auf eine andere Ausführung des Gerätesteckverbinders und
  • Figur 3 und 4 zwei verschiedene Ausführungen der kontaktflachenseitigen Enden der im Gerätesteckverbinder angeordneten Kontaktfedern, jeweils in perspektivischer Aufsicht und in Seitenansicht.
    • The structure of a device connector according to the invention is now explained in more detail in the drawing. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a sectional side view of the device connector and the card stack at the beginning of the insertion process and
  • Figure 2 is a sectional plan view of another embodiment of the device connector and
  • 3 and 4 show two different designs of the contact surface ends of the contact springs arranged in the device connector, each in a perspective view and in a side view.

    • Im rechten Teil der Figur 1 ist ein Stapel 1 aus vier Karten 2 dargestellt. Im Endbereich der Karten sind jeweils Ausnehmungen im Kartenmaterial vorgesehen, so daß die zungen- oder stiftförmig ausgebildeten Kontaktflächen 3 zwar frei, aber nicht ungeschützt an der jeweiligen Karte angeordnet sind. Diese Ausführung ist im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung jedoch ebensowenig zwingend wie die einstückige Ausbildung des Kontaktmessers mit dem Leadframe (Stanzplatine), auf dem die Halbleiterschaltkreise mechanisch befestigt und elektrisch angeschlossen sind.In the right part of Figure 1 is a stack 1 of four cards 2 shown. There are recesses in the end area of the cards provided in the map material so that the tongue or pin-shaped contact surfaces 3 are free, but are not arranged unprotected on the respective card. This embodiment is within the scope of the present invention however, just as imperative as the one-piece training of the contact knife with the leadframe (punched board) on which the semiconductor circuits mechanically attached and electrical are connected.

    Im linken Teil der Figur 1 ist das in Steckrichtung geöffnete Gehäuse aus Isolierstoff des Gerätesteckverbinders dargestellt. Schematisch angedeutet sind die im Inneren des Gehäuses 4 befestigten Kontaktfedern 5. Es ist vorteilhaft, die kontaktflachenseitigen Enden 8 der Kontaktfedern 5 flexibel und deformierbar auszubilden, so daß die benachbarten Enden 8 eine durchgehende, mit den Anschlüssen 6 und 7 des Gerätesteckverbinders verbundene Kontaktsäule mindestens dann bilden, wenn mindestens eine kartenförmige Datenträgeranordnung 2 eingesteckt ist. Bei dieser Ausführung ist die Funktion demnach auch gewährleistet, wenn nur eine Karte gesteckt ist. Die Anschlüsse 6 und 7 des Gerätesteckverbinders können beispielsweise als Lötanschlüsse, die den Kontakt zu einer Leiterplatte herstellen, ausgebildet sein. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Verbindung von einer Karte zur nächsten auch dadurch erfolgen, daß die im Inneren des Gehäuses 4 befestigten Enden 9 benachbarter Kontaktfedern 5 elektrisch miteinander verbunden ("Durchschleifen") sind.In the left part of Figure 1 is the open in the direction of insertion Housing made of insulating material of the device connector shown. They are indicated schematically in the interior of the housing 4 attached contact springs 5. It is advantageous that Contact surface ends 8 of the contact springs 5 flexible and deformable so that the adjacent ends 8th a continuous, with the connections 6 and 7 of the device connector connected contact column at least then form if at least one card-shaped data carrier arrangement 2 is inserted. In this version is the function therefore also guaranteed if only one card is inserted is. The connections 6 and 7 of the device connector can for example as solder connections that make contact with a Produce circuit board, be trained. In addition or alternatively, the connection from one card to the next also take place in that the inside of the housing 4th attached ends 9 of adjacent contact springs 5 electrically are interconnected ("looping through").

    Die Figuren 2, 3 und 4 zeigen spezielle Ausführungen von an ihren Enden 8 flexibel und deformierbar ausgebildeten Kontaktfedern 5, die besonders zur Aufnahme von zungenförmigen Kontaktflächen 3 geeignet sind. Die Deformierbarkeit nach oben und unten in Stapelrichtung ist bei den dargestellten Ausführungen gegeben. Figures 2, 3 and 4 show special versions of their ends 8 flexible and deformable contact springs 5, which is particularly suitable for recording tongue-shaped Contact surfaces 3 are suitable. The deformability after above and below in the stacking direction is shown in the Executions given.

    Die Karten weisen normalerweise mehrere, üblich sind gegenwärtig acht, regelmäßig nebeneinander angeordnete, parallele Kontaktflächen auf. Durch die regelmäßigen Abstände ist es möglich, daß die einander entsprechenden Außenanschlüsse im Kartenstapel 1 säulenförmig übereinander angeordnet sind und daß die untereinander verbundenen Kontaktfedern 5 im Gerätesteckverbinder dementsprechend ebenfalls säulenförmig übereinander angeordnet sind. Beispielsweise acht derartige Säulen können demnach nebeneinander im Gerätesteckverbinder angeordnet sein. Die untereinander verbundenen entsprechenden Außenanschlüsse mehrerer übereinanderliegender und gemeinsam als Stapel in den Gerätesteckverbinder eingesteckter Karten bilden dadurch ein Bussystem, so daß der Zugriff auf alle Karten des Stapels durch eine Steuerungseinrichtung oder ein Verarbeitungsgerät, wie es in der obengenannten älteren deutschen Patentanmeldung näher beschrieben wird, mit Hilfe eines einzigen Gerätesteckverbinders erfolgen kann.The cards usually have several, but current ones are common eight, parallel, regularly arranged side by side Contact areas. Because of the regular intervals it is possible that the corresponding external connections in Card stack 1 are arranged columnar one above the other and that the interconnected contact springs 5 in the device connector accordingly also columnar one above the other are arranged. For example, eight of them Accordingly, columns can be placed side by side in the device connector be arranged. The interconnected corresponding External connections of several superimposed and common as a stack of cards inserted in the device connector thereby form a bus system so that access to all Cards of the stack by a control device or a Processing device as it is in the above older German patent application is described in more detail with the help a single device connector can be made.

    Die Karten des Stapels können gegebenenfalls nur mit der Kante, an der die zur galvanischen Kontaktierung vorgesehenen Kontaktflächen angeordnet sind, deckungsgleich übereinanderliegen. Es können also beispielsweise halbe und ganze Karten im Stapel abwechseln. Ebenso können Dummykarten oder Busverstärkerkarten in den Stapel eingefügt sein.The cards in the stack can only be used with the Edge on which the contacts intended for galvanic contacting are made Contact surfaces are arranged, lying congruently one above the other. For example, you can use half and whole cards alternate in the stack. Dummy cards or bus amplifier cards can also be used inserted into the stack.
