Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is a To create connectors of the type mentioned, the for less plug-in connection with a printed circuit board Space above the circuit board is taken up and yet leads to a secure connection to the circuit board.
  • the measures according to the invention ensure that the feeding movement of the Connector parallel to the circuit board in one direction and done a little above the surface of the circuit board can, so the connector is less far beyond the Surface of the circuit board protrudes. That on the housing or path limitation element provided on the printed circuit board leads to a secure connection and small distances between Housing of the connector and the printed circuit board.
  • Path limiting element a contact angle on the housing provided on the relevant surface of the Printed circuit board sets and thus an accurate and safe Contacting guaranteed, as well as on the connector acting forces when inserting the plug can occur.
  • the contact element can according to the feature of claim 5 be one piece, up to a certain minimum Distance between connector and circuit board possible is because the contact element is then simply bent can be designed accordingly angular.
  • attack area according to the features of claim 4 can be implemented in a variety of ways, for example by a cross hole with or without pin, through a circumferential Groove with or without a ring, through a conical collar on the Perimeter, through surfaces parallel to the surface of the PCB and the like
  • the device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a connector 15 with several Embodiments shown single or multi-part Contact elements 11, 11 ', 11' ', 12 and 13 is provided and the one end with the connection of a circuit board 14 and on the other hand those with a not shown external connector.
  • the connector 15 extends to the surface 16 of the circuit board 14 parallel direction and is angled over the trained contact elements 11, 11 ', 11' ', 12 and 13 with the circuit board 14 connectable.
  • the several, in the exemplary embodiment three side by side arranged similar contact elements 11, 11 ', 11' ', 12 or 13 of the connector 15 have horizontal, i.e. aligned or parallel to the circuit board surface 16 extending connector ends 18 and by means of Adapter 20, 20 ', 20' ', 30 or 40 angled by 90 °, i.e. perpendicular to these PCB side Connection ends 19, which have a press-fit connection in plated-through holes 17 of the circuit board 14 can be inserted and fit releasably.
  • the Connector 15 a housing 21 in which the plug-side connection ends 18 of the contact elements 11, 11 ', 11' ', 12 and 13 in the axial direction and secure against rotation are held.
  • the housing 21 is arranged in a recess 22 of the circuit board 14 and by means of two angles 23 in bores 24 of the circuit board 14 held pluggable lockable.
  • the connection of connector 15 and PCB 14 is made in a perpendicular to PCB surface 16 directional movement to Insert the connector ends 19 in the plated-through holes 17 until they strike or Insert the relevant ends of the two angular ones Path limiting elements 23. After riveting, a rivet can or similar for fixed connection between circuit board 14 and Path limiting element 23 by its corresponding one Holes are brought.
  • Figure 2 shows that in inserted state, the height of the connector 15 over the circuit board surface 16 due to exploitation the PCB thickness and the necessary overhang other side is very low.
  • FIG 3 shows this in Figure 2 for the connector 15 used contact element 11 in an exploded Presentation.
  • the contact element 11 is in two parts, i.e. at this embodiment is the circuit board side Connection end 19 in one piece with the adapter 20 and that connector-side connection end 18 with a separate one the adapter 20 connectable component.
  • the Adapter 20 one to the axial direction of the PCB end 19 vertical Cross bore 29 into which a pin 31 in play or Press fit if necessary with additional riveting, soldering or comparable mechanical electrical connection is insertable.
  • the connector end 18 has about two in the middle of the distance from each other arranged ring bundles 32, via which this component in mentioned molded body held in the housing part 25 axially secured is installed.
  • the anti-rotation lock can as shown in Figure 6, as a flat 50 on one of the Ring bundles 32 can be executed, so that the Contact element 13 can not rotate in the molding body.
  • the PCB-side connection end 19 in Slot twice, so that several, here result in four radially elastically movable fingers 33.
  • these fingers 33 are at the front free end with a chamfer, at the rear end with a waist 35 and provided with a contact belly 44 in the middle.
  • the press fit of the PCB-side connection end 19 in the plated through hole 17 such that the fingers 33 in Area 44 of their largest diameter in the center of the bore 17 Contact radially preloaded.
  • Figures 4A and 4B also show two parts Contact elements 11 'and 11' ', the difference of the Contact element 11 'according to FIG. 4A to the contact element 11 3 only consists in that the adapter 20 ' not cylindrical but cuboid and on free end is provided with an axial slot 36, so that the resulting legs 37 of the adapter 20 ' when inserting the pin 31 of the connector correctly Terminal end 18 can be pushed apart.
  • a pin 31 ′′ on Adapter 20 '' provided while the corresponding one Cross bore 29 '' at a flattened end of the connector 18 '' is provided.
  • the contact element 12 shown in FIG. 5 is formed in three parts, i.e. it will be in anti-twist plug-in Pressfit or Pushfit connection from the plug-side connection end 18, the angular one here Adapter 30 and the PCB-side end 19 '' composed.
  • the angular (90 °) adapter has 30 ends Through or blind holes 38 and 39, in which the Pin 31 of the connector end 18 or the Pin 31 '' of the board end 19 is insertable against rotation. It goes without saying that the angular adapter 30 also by a cuboid Element can be replaced with appropriate holes.
  • FIG. 6 shows the one-piece molded contact element 13, whose adapter 40 through the 90 ° arc between connector end 18 '' 'and PCB-side connection end 19 '' 'is formed.
  • the contact elements 11, 11 ', 11' ', 12 and 13 are with Functional areas for initiating an assembly force in the Essentially perpendicular to the circuit board surface 16 Mistake.
  • This functional area should in particular be a Offer attack surface for an assembly tool. So are for example, the contact elements 11 and 11 'with an end face 41, 41 'at the upper end of the adapter 20, 20' and that Contact element 11 "with a flat surface 41" on flattened end of the connector end 18 '' Mistake.
  • the Adapter 30 is provided with an upper surface 42.
  • At the one-piece contact element 13 is between adapter 40 and a shoulder 43 on the printed circuit board side connection end 19 intended. It is understood that these functional areas can also be formed in another form.
  • the exemplary embodiment is the path limiting element 23 Housing 21 of the connector 15 is provided. It understands yourself that it is also possible to use one or more To provide path limiting elements on the circuit board 14.
  • the path limitation elements should also have a guide prevent the connector 15 from being opened or Introducing a tilting moment onto or into the printed circuit board 14 can be exposed.
  • contact elements take place can also be obtuse at right angles.
