Definitions
- the present invention relates to a circuit board zero force connector according to the Preamble of claim 1.
- PCB zero force connectors serve two Printed circuit boards essentially power-free, electrically and mechanically connect with each other; they will among other things used to make a first circuit board simple and gentle essentially perpendicular to a second circuit board (for example a so-called backplane circuit board) to be able to do it electrically and mechanically to connect firmly and reliably with it.
- PCB ZIF connector the firmly on one of the interconnected PCBs to be brought in and is designed to that the other of those to be connected Printed circuit boards can be inserted into these. It is built that by actuating an actuator in a allowing the insertion or removal of a circuit board Installation position, and by inserting a circuit board can be brought into the connecting position.
- US-A-3 shows 853 379 a PCB zero force connector, in which the Folding part not only on the actuator for actuating the Zero force connector, but also on the connector containing arrangement is attached.
- the folding part when folding also not pivoted about a point that through the Meeting of the folding part and the zero force connector containing arrangement is defined, but in the known Zero force connector, the folding part is pivoted by a pin, via which the hinged part to the zero force connector containing arrangement is attached.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object PCB zero force connector according to the preamble of Develop claim 1 such that the risk of Damage to the circuit board and / or the risk of not proper connection of those to be connected PCB can be reduced to a minimum.
- Inserting or removing a circuit board in the or from the circuit board zero force connector can consequently only if and as long as this is in the assembly position is; in the connection position of the PCB zero force connector the folding part is one Inserting or removing a circuit board in or out of the PCB zero force connector in the way.
- blocking one in the Printed circuit board zero force plug connector used by folding down the folding part with bringing the PCB zero force connector in its connection position be connected or coupled.
- the zero force plug connector described in more detail below is designed to be essentially vertical to be arranged in relation to each other PCBs electrically and mechanically with each other connect to.
- the application of the invention PCB zero force connector is not on, however limited such applications; the circuit boards that go through PCB zero force connectors of the type described can be connected, basically any relative positions take in.
- the zero force plug connector described in more detail below is denoted in the figures by the reference number 1.
- the PCBs through this PCB zero force connector 1 to be connected are one first circuit board 3 and a second circuit board 4, wherein the first circuit board 3 substantially perpendicular to the second circuit board 4 should be pluggable.
- PCBs in the manner of the second circuit board 4 are, for example so-called backplane circuit boards; the attachable on it Printed circuit boards like the first printed circuit board 3 are common according to their assembly referred to as plug-in cards.
- the PCB zero force connector 1 is in use a mounting plate 2 fixed on the second circuit board 4 mounted. Thereby the PCB zero force connector 1 and the second circuit board 4 both mechanically as well as electrically firmly and reliably connected.
- the circuit board zero force connector 1 contains in his Inside two connector halves 11 (hidden in the figures) and 12 separated by an elongated slot 13 are separated.
- the first connector half 11 and the second Connector half 12 are (even on the second circuit board 4 assembled state of the PCB zero force connector 1) by pressing one on the side PCB zero force connector 1 provided, however Swivel mechanism 14, not described in more detail here pivotable or foldable towards and away from each other.
- circuit board guiding devices On two opposite sides of the PCB zero force connector 1 are circuit board guiding devices provided, with the help of which (between which) the first Printed circuit board 3 defined in or out of the slot 13 of the PCB zero force connector 1 is feasible; in the Figures is just one of the PCB guiding devices shown.
- This circuit board guide device, designated by reference number 5 is by means of mounting plates 6 and 7 on the housing accommodating the arrangement shown or Frame mountable, with the housing or the frame in the Figures is not shown.
- an element designated as an actuator 8 used in this which also serves as a guide element the PCB guide device 5 and as Actuating element for actuating the swivel mechanism 14 the circuit board zero force connector 1 is used; although this is not the case in the example considered here, can each of the circuit board guiding devices with a such or similar actuator 8 may be equipped.
- the actuator 8 is a substantially rod-like Element (a push and pull rod), which in the middle part 81, i.e. except at its two end sections 82 and 83 one in has a substantially U-shaped cross section.
- the middle part 81 is dimensioned so that it is in the circuit board guide device 5, more precisely a space provided for this 51 of the same can be used such that the Actuator 8 in the longitudinal direction of the same freely is movable, but otherwise little freedom of movement inside the circuit board guiding device 5 Has; the circuit board guiding device 5 and / or that Actuator 8 and / or the mounting plates 6, 7 are so trained that the actuator 8 against falling out and / or pulling out of the circuit board guide device 5 is or can be secured.
- the assembled zero-force connector 1 facing end section i.e. the one with the Reference numeral 82 designates end portions of the actuator 8 comes along when used as intended the pivot mechanism 14 engages that by actuation, i.e. a movement of the actuator 8 in the longitudinal direction opening and closing the connector halves 11 and 12 of the circuit board zero force connector 1 caused becomes.
- the engagement between the end portion 82 of the actuator 8 and the swivel mechanism 14 is designed that these elements at least either in the assembled position or in the connection position of the PCB zero force connector 1 not connected stand (detached from each other); the actuator 8 can be completely independent of the PCB zero force connector 1 at any time together with the PCB guide device 5 or without this in the Arrangement used or removed from this.
- the assembled from the PCB zero force connector 1 opposite end section, i.e. the one with the Reference numeral 83 designates end portions of the actuator 8 protrudes over a in the PCB zero force connector 1 inserted circuit board, more precisely over the rear edge of the same with respect to the insertion direction and in the example under consideration is with a a folding arm 85 resembling a two-armed lever. How will be described in more detail later, this serves Folding part 85, the displacement of the actuator 8th in the longitudinal direction to facilitate and / or with the insertion / removal a circuit board (circuit board 3) to coordinate.
- the displacement of the actuator 8, i.e. a pushing or pushing it to the PCB zero force connector 1 or pulling it away from the PCB zero force connector 1 must be done when the PCB zero force connector 1 from the Installation position brought into the connection position or vice versa shall be.
- the PCB zero force connector 1 has the Installation position inside. In this position a circuit board can under the guidance of the circuit board guiding devices 5 essentially without force between the opened Connector halves 11 and 12 of the PCB zero force connector 1 can be used.
- the actuator 8 of this be pulled away.
- the folding part 85 is between one shown in FIG Locked position and an open position shown in Figure 3 can be folded back and forth, which is in the locked position Folding part 85 located in the circuit board zero force connector if necessary 1 inserted circuit board 3 as illustrated in FIG. 2, or more generally expressed - inserting or removing one PCB in or out of the PCB zero force connector 1 stands in the way, and that in the open position located folding part 85 the insertion or Removing a circuit board is not hindered or blocked.
- a PCB can only be inserted into the PCB zero force connector inserted or removed from this be when the folding part 85 in the in Figure 3 is the open position shown; otherwise would the folding part 85 of the inserted or removed Stand in the way of the PCB and block it.
- the actuator 8 automatically in one pulled away from the PCB zero force connector 1 Position, which makes this its unfolded assembly position occupies. If and so long the folding part 85 in the Open position can be one in the PCB zero force connector 1 to be used or removed from this PCB always as intended, i.e. essentially without force and without risk of damage in the PCB zero force connector 1 used or can be taken from this.
- the ones to be inserted in the PCB zero force connector 1 or the circuit board to be removed is present considered example on their with regard to the insertion direction rear end with a pull and push lever 31 fitted.
- This pull and push lever 31 is the element on or through the plug-in cards in the manner of the circuit board 3 usually held during assembly or disassembly, pushed, pulled and / or locked in the end position become; it is movably attached to the circuit board Element that after proper insertion the PCB in the PCB zero force connector is folded down and thereby locks the circuit board.
- the folding part 85 is positioned such that it is only in its locked position can be folded if one from the PCB zero force connector 1 PCB to be removed removed or if one is in the PCB zero force connector 1 PCB to be used properly used in this and the pull and push lever 31 of the printed circuit board from the folding area of the folding part 85 worked.
- the folding part 85 with the associated Actuator 8 not for PCB zero force connector if and as long as that Folding part 85 is in the open position.
- circuit board zero force connector 1 not in its connection position can be brought if and for as long as one to be used there PCB not pushed in properly is. This can prevent that from connecting Contrary to the external appearance, PCBs do not or only partially associated.
- the large printing area that the Offers folding part 85 after it is folded into the locked position is basically a request to the operator that Actuator 8 by exerting a compressive force on the pressure area formed by the folding part 85 to the circuit board zero force connector to push.
- the folding part 85 covers the above already mentioned pull and push lever 31 of the in the circuit board zero force connector 1 inserted circuit board 3.
- This is the element on or through which the circuit board 3 usually held during assembly or disassembly, pushed, pulled, locked and / or unlocked, not accessible, which in turn means that the circuit board 3 not or at least not easily be removed from the PCB zero force connector can, if and as long as the folding part 85 in the locked position located.
- the circuit board zero force connector is automatically in the assembly position, if and as long as the folding part 85 assumes the open position. If namely the folding part 85 and the associated Actuator in the PCB power connector 1 pushed state, the PCB zero force connector 1 the connection position takes, so the folding part 85 when folding the same in the open position together with the actuator 8 automatically from the PCB zero force connector 1 moved away.
- the structure of the arrangement is namely chosen so that the folding part 85, more precisely the PCB not reaching behind and preferably shorter Lever arm in the locked position and to the PCB zero force connector pressed state like this to one of the mounting plates 6, 7 and / or the arrangement receiving frame or the housing receiving the arrangement and / or another preferably stationary element strikes that a pivoting movement of the folding part 85 this can act as a one-armed lever, which pivots executes around the anchor point and the actuator 8 pulls away from the PCB zero force connector.
- folding part 85 is designed as described. Blocking the onset and removing circuit boards in and out The PCB zero force connector can also be seen can be achieved by differently designed folding parts; the Folding parts "only” have to be able in one as well Always insert and remove the locked position of printed circuit boards in or out of the printed circuit board zero force connector preferably (but not necessarily) prevent clearly visible.
