Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine in eine Leiterplatte einpreßbare Stiftleiste gemäß
dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a pin strip that can be pressed into a printed circuit board
the preamble of
Die Kontaktstifte derartiger Stiftleisten bestehen aus Kostengründen überwiegend aus gebogenem Draht.The contact pins of such pin headers mainly exist for cost reasons made of bent wire.
Durch die querschnittsbedingt geringe Befestigkeit dieser Kontaktstifte können sich Probleme beim Einpressen in die Leiterplatte ergeben, da die Krafteinleitung hierbei außerhalb der jeweiligen Kontaktstiftachse liegt, wodurch ein die Lage der Kontaktstifte im Gehäuse veränderndes Kippmoment erzeugt wird.Due to the cross-sectional low fastening of these contact pins can Problems when pressing into the circuit board result because the force is applied is outside of the respective contact pin axis, whereby the position of the contact pins is generated in the housing changing tilting moment.
Neben dieser, die Funktionsfähigkeit der Kontaktstifte beeinträchtigenden möglichen Lageveränderung kann es durch die beim Einpreßvorgang sehr hohen, auf die Kontaktstifte und das Gehäuse einwirkenden Einpreßkräfte zu Beschädigungen und Verformungen des Gehäuses, der Kontaktstifte und der Leiterplatte kommen.In addition to this, the possible impairment of the functionality of the contact pins The change in position can be caused by the very high pressure on the contact pins and the pressing forces acting to damage and Deformations of the housing, the contact pins and the circuit board come.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stiftleiste der gattungsgemäßen Art so zu gestalten, daß eine Lageveränderung der Kontaktstifte und deren Beschädigung bwz. Verformung durch die beim Einpressen in die Leiterplatte auftretenden Kräfte ausgeschlossen wird.The present invention is therefore based on the object of a pin header Generic type so that a change in position of the contact pins and their damage bwz. Deformation caused by pressing into the circuit board occurring forces is excluded.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Stiftleiste gelöst, die die Merkmale des Anspruches 1
aufweist.This object is achieved by a pin header, which has the features of
Durch diese konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Stiftleiste werden die Kontaktstifte praktisch eingespannt, so daß die beim Einpressen auftretenden, auf die Kontaktstifte einwirkenden Kräfte von dem Halteteil bzw. dem Gehäuse aufgenommen werden.This design of the pin header makes the contact pins practical clamped so that those occurring during the pressing in on the contact pins acting forces are absorbed by the holding part or the housing.
Die Kontaktstifte können dabei glattschäftig ausgebildet sein, so ohne mit dem Gehäuse und/oder dem Halteteil einen Formschluß bildende Haltekonturen. Hierdurch ist eine sehr preiswerte Herstellung und Montage möglich.The contact pins can be smooth, so without the housing and / or the holding part forming a positive locking contours. Hereby very inexpensive manufacture and assembly is possible.
Im Herstellungsverlauf der Stiftleiste werden zunächst die Kontaktstifte im Gehäuse positioniert. Anschließend erfolgt das Einsetzen des Halteteiles und dessen Befestigung.During the manufacturing process of the pin header, the contact pins are first in the housing positioned. Then the holding part is inserted and fastened.
Hierzu sind verschiedene Möglichkeiten denkbar, so kann das Halteteil beispielsweise mit dem Gehäuse verrastet, verklebt oder verschweißt sein.Various possibilities are conceivable for this, for example the holding part be locked, glued or welded to the housing.
Eine besonders einfache Montage ergibt sich dann, wenn das Halteteil formschlüssig in das Gehäuse eingreift und dort verrastet.A particularly simple assembly results when the holding part is form-fitting engages in the housing and locked there.
Weiter besteht die Möglichkeit, auch für Stiftleisten mit mehrreihigen Kontaktstiften lediglich ein Halteteil vorzusehen, um sämtliche Kontaktstifte entsprechend zu fixieren.There is also the possibility for pin headers with multi-row contact pins to provide only one holding part in order to fix all contact pins accordingly.
Die Anordnung des Halteteiles richtet sich dabei jeweils nach den konstruktiven Notwendigkeiten, wobei das Halteteil beispielsweise von oben, von unten oder von der Seite eingesetzt werden kann.The arrangement of the holding part depends on the design requirements, the holding part, for example from above, from below or from the Side can be used.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben.Embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying Described drawings.

eingesteckt werden.A pin strip can be seen in FIG. 5, which has a double row of
Auch hier bildet das Halteteil 2 zusammen mit dem Gehäuse 1 eine im Biegebereich

In jedem Fall ist ein sicherer Halt der Kontaktstifte gewährleistet, die vor allem deshalb
von großer Bedeutung ist, weil, wie sämtliche Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen, die
