Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder zur Montage auf einer Leiterplatte, der mit Kontaktelementen versehen ist, die mittels einer Lötstelle mit einer Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte verbunden werden sollen.The invention relates to a connector for mounting on a printed circuit board, which is provided with contact elements, which by means of a solder joint a conductor track of the circuit board are to be connected.

Bekannt sind Steckverbinder, deren Kontaktelemente als Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelementen ausgebildet sind, also in eine Bohrung durch die Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte eingesteckt werden. Dadurch ergibt sich eine hohe mechanische Festigkeit der Verbindung zwischen Leiterplatte und Kontaktelement des Steckverbinders.Connectors are known, whose contact elements as push-through mounting contact elements are formed, that is, in a hole through the conductor track the circuit board. This results in a high one mechanical strength of the connection between printed circuit board and contact element of the connector.

Bekannt sind auch Steckverbinder, deren Kontaktelemente als Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelemente ausgebildet sind, also auf die Leiterbahn aufgelötet werden. Die sich dabei ergebende Lötstelle bietet nur eine vergleichsweise geringe mechanische Festigkeit, insbesondere bei Scherbelastungen. Allerdings läßt sich eine höhere Signalübertragungsgeschwindigkeit zwischen Kontaktelement und Leiterbahn erzielen.Connectors are also known, the contact elements of which are surface-mount contact elements are trained, i.e. on the conductor track be soldered on. The resulting solder joint offers only a comparative one low mechanical strength, especially with shear loads. However, a higher signal transmission speed can be achieved achieve between contact element and conductor track.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Steckverbinder zu schaffen, der bei hoher Signalübertragungsgeschwindigkeit eine Verbindung zwischen Leiterplatte und Steckverbinder mit hoher mechanischer Festigkeit ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a connector the connection between at high signal transmission speed Printed circuit board and connector with high mechanical strength.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einem Steckverbinder zur Montage auf einer Leiterplatte, mit einem Trägerkörper, mindestens einem Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelement, das in dem Trägerkörper angeordnet ist, und mindestens einem Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement, das ebenfalls in dem Trägerkörper angeordnet ist. Bei diesem Steckverbinder gewährleistet das Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement die gute mechanische Verbindung des Trägerkörpers mit der Leiterplatte, während das Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelement die schnelle Signalübertragung zur Leiterbahn ermöglicht.This problem is solved with a connector for mounting on a PCB, with a carrier body, at least one surface mounting contact element, which is arranged in the carrier body, and at least a push-through contact element, which is also in the carrier body is arranged. This guarantees with this connector Push-through contact element the good mechanical connection of the Carrier body with the circuit board, while the surface mount contact element enables fast signal transmission to the conductor track.

Vorzugsweise ist das Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement ein Massekontakt. Diese Gestaltung ist vorteilhaft, da sich dann die niedrigere Signalübertragungsgeschwindigkeit kaum auswirkt. Das Durchsteckmontage- Kontaktelement kann auch allgemein zur Signalübertragung bei Signalen verwendet werden, die eine niedrige Frequenz haben.The push-through mounting contact element is preferably a ground contact. This design is advantageous because the lower signal transmission speed hardly affects. The push-through assembly Contact element can also be used generally for signal transmission in the case of signals be used that have a low frequency.

Vorzugsweise ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß vier Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelemente und ein Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement vorgesehen sind, wobei die Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelemente in zwei Gruppen angeordnet sind, die durch das Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement voneinander getrennt sind. Bei dieser Gestaltung dient das Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement als Abschirmung zwischen den beiden Gruppen von Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelementen, die zur Signalübertragung verwendet werden, so daß sich eine hohe Übersprech-Dämpfung ergibt.It is also preferably provided that four surface mount contact elements and a push-through contact element is provided are, the surface mount contact elements arranged in two groups are by the push-through contact element from each other are separated. With this design, the push-through contact element is used as a shield between the two groups of surface mount contact elements, used for signal transmission be so that there is a high crosstalk attenuation.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelement mit einem Anschlußbereich versehen ist, auf dem ein Anschlußelement angeordnet ist, das relativ zu dem Anschlußbereich verschiebbar ist. Diese Gestaltung ermöglicht es, die bei der Oberflächenmontagetechnik kritische Dicke des Lötpolsters zwischen dem Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelement und der Leiterbahn in besonders einfacher Weise einzuhalten. Anders als bei herkömmlichen Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelementen, die mit besonders engen Toleranzen gefertigt werden müssen, um nach dem Aufsetzen des Steckverbinders auf die Leiterplatte den erforderlichen Abstand von etwa 0,1 mm zwischen Kontaktelement und Leiterbahn zu erhalten, stellt sich bei dieser Ausführungsform der erforderliche Abstand durch entsprechend weite Verschiebung des Anschlußelementes auf dem Anschlußbereich von selbst ein.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, that the surface mount contact element with a connection area is provided, on which a connection element is arranged, which is relative to the connection area is displaceable. This design enables the critical surface thickness of the solder pad between the surface mount contact element and the conductor track in particular easy to adhere to. Unlike conventional surface mount contact elements, those with particularly tight tolerances have to be manufactured in order to put on the connector the circuit board the required distance of about 0.1 mm between the contact element and to obtain conductor track arises in this embodiment the required distance by moving the Connection element on the connection area by itself.

Es handelt sich hier um eine abgewinkelte Federleiste, da die einzelnen Kontakte um jeweils 90° abgewinkelt sind und auf der Anschlußseite des Steckverbinders als Kontaktfedern ausgebildet sind. Der komplementäre Steckverbinder, der in den gezeigten Steckverbinder eingesteckt wird, ist dementsprechend eine Messerleiste. Die gezeigte Ausführungsform kann natürlich auch als Messerleiste ausgebildet sein. In jedem Fall weist der Steckverbinder eine Vielzahl von Kontakten auf, die in mehreren nebeneinanderliegenden Spalten angeordnet sind. In der Schnittdarstellung von Figur 1 ist nur eine einzige dieser Spalten zu sehen.In Figure 1 is a connector according to a first embodiment of the Invention shown. It is an angled female connector, there the individual contacts are angled by 90 ° and on the connection side of the connector are designed as contact springs. The complementary connector that plugs into the connector shown accordingly, is a male connector. The embodiment shown can of course also be designed as a male connector. In each In this case, the connector has a large number of contacts, which are in several adjacent columns are arranged. In the sectional view only one of these columns can be seen in FIG.

Der gezeigte Steckverbinder weist einen isolierenden Trägerkörper 10 auf, in welchem zweimal zwei Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelemente 20 angeordnet sind sowie ein Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement 38, das die beiden Gruppen von Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelementen 20 voneinander trennt. Das Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement 38 kann mit einem Masseleiter verbunden werden und dient als Abschirmung zwischen den beiden Gruppen von Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelementen 20, die zur Signalübertragung dienen.The connector shown has an insulating carrier body 10, in which two surface mount contact elements 20 are arranged twice are and a push-through contact element 38, the two Groups of surface mount contact elements 20 from each other separates. The push-through mounting contact element 38 can be connected to a ground conductor be connected and serves as a shield between the two Groups of surface mount contact elements 20 used for signal transmission serve.

Der Steckverbinder wird bei der Montage mit seinem Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement in eine Öffnung 50 einer Leiterplatte 52 eingesetzt, auf die vorher an den entsprechenden Stellen eine Lötpaste aufgebracht wurde. In diesem Zustand ist der Steckverbinder vorfixiert. Anschließend erfolgt die Verlötung der Kontaktelemente, so daß die gewünschte elektrische Verbindung mit den Leiterbahnen erzielt ist.The connector comes with its push-through mounting contact element inserted into an opening 50 of a circuit board 52, on the a solder paste was previously applied to the appropriate places. In the connector is pre-fixed in this state. Then the Soldering the contact elements so that the desired electrical connection is achieved with the conductor tracks.

In Figur 2 ist ein Steckverbinder gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform der Erfindung gezeigt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform werden drei Kontaktelemente verwendet, nämlich ein innenliegendes Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement 38, das in eine Öffnung 50 einer Leiterplatte 52 eingreift, ein mittig liegendes Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelement 20, das mit einem Anschlußbereich 22 versehen ist, auf dem ein Anschlußelement 24 angeordnet ist, und ein auβenliegendes Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelement 53, das an seinem der Leiterplatte zugewandten Ende mit einer Umbiegung versehen ist, die auf der Leiterplatte aufliegt und dort in einer Oberflächenmontagetechnik mit einer entsprechenden Leiterbahn verbunden werden kann.In Figure 2 is a connector according to a second embodiment of the Invention shown. In this embodiment, three contact elements used, namely an internal push-through contact element 38, which engages in an opening 50 of a circuit board 52, a central one Surface mount contact element 20, which with a connection region 22nd is provided, on which a connecting element 24 is arranged, and an external one Surface mount contact element 53 located on its the PCB facing end is provided with a bend on the circuit board rests and there in a surface mounting technology with a corresponding conductor track can be connected.

In Figur 3 ist das Anschlußelement 24 gezeigt, das bei den Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelementen 20 des in Figur 2 gezeigten Steckverbinders verwendet wird. Das Anschlußelement 24 ist als federnde Klammer mit zwei Schenkeln 26 ausgebildet, die mittels eines Bodens 28 miteinander verbunden sind. Am Boden ist auf der vom Anschlußbereich 22 abgewandten Seite ein Abstandshalter 30 vorgesehen, der als Prägung so ausgebildet ist, daß ein vergleichsweise spitzer Scheitel entsteht.In Figure 3, the connection element 24 is shown, which in the surface mounting contact elements 20 of the connector shown in Figure 2 is used. The connecting element 24 is a spring clip with two Legs 26 formed, which are connected to one another by means of a base 28 are. At the bottom is on the side facing away from the connection area 22 a spacer 30 is provided, which is designed as an embossing that a comparatively pointed apex is created.

Das Anschlußelement 24 ist auf den Anschlußbereich 22 des Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelementes 20 aufgeschoben und an diesem durch die aus der wirkenden Klemmkraft resultierende Reibungskraft fixiert. Um zu verhindern, daß das Anschlußelement von dem Anschlußbereich 22, der einen rechteckigen Querschnitt hat, abrutscht, sind an einem der Schenkel 26 des Anschlußelementes 24 abgebogene Nasen 54 vorgesehen, deren einander gegenüberliegende Flächen als Führungsflächen 56 wirken. Diese können an den schmalen Außenflächen der Anschlußbereiche 22 angreifen und verhindern, daß das Anschlußelement 24 übermäßig stark abkippt oder gar abrutscht.The connection element 24 is on the connection area 22 of the surface mounting contact element 20 pushed on and on this by the the resulting clamping force fixes the resulting frictional force. To prevent, that the connection element of the connection area 22, the one has rectangular cross section, slips, are on one of the legs 26 of the Connection element 24 bent lugs 54 are provided, each other opposite surfaces act as guide surfaces 56. these can attack on the narrow outer surfaces of the connection areas 22 and prevent the connecting element 24 from tipping excessively or even slips.

Anhand von Figur 4 wird nun die Montage einer weiteren Ausführungsform eines Steckverbinders an einer Leiterplatte beschrieben. Es handelt sich bei dieser Ausführungsform um eine gerade Federleiste, wobei in einer einzigen Reihe hintereinanderliegend Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelemente und Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelemente vorgesehen sind.The assembly of a further embodiment is now based on FIG described a connector on a circuit board. It is about this embodiment around a straight female connector, being in a single Row of surface mounting contact elements and Push-through contact elements are provided.

Zunächst wird die Leiterplatte an den Stellen, die zur Verbindung mit den Kontaktelementen vorgesehen sind, mit einer Lötpaste beschichtet. Anschließend wird der Steckverbinder auf die Leiterplatte aufgesetzt, wobei das Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement in die entsprechende Öffnung der Leiterplatte eindringt. Dabei ist die in Figur 4a gezeigte Montagestellung der Kontaktelemente 24 so gewählt, daß der Abstandshalter 30 an der Leiterplatte anliegt, bevor das Durchsteckmontage-Kontaktelement 38 vollständig in die Leiterplatte eingeschoben ist. Im Verlauf des Aufsetzens des Steckverbinders auf die Leiterplatte taucht das Anschlußelement 24 in die dort vorher aufgebrachte Lötpaste ein, wobei der Abstandshalter 30 mit seinem Scheitel die Lötpaste zuverlässig verdrängt und durchdringt, so daß er auf der Leiterplatte aufliegt. Dies gewährleistet, daß der Boden 28 in allen übrigen Bereichen einen vorbestimmten, von der Höhe des Abstandshalters vorgegebenen Abstand von der Leiterplatte aufweist, der vorzugsweise 0,1 mm beträgt und vollständig mit der Lötpaste gefüllt ist. Im Verlauf des Aufsetzens ergibt sich auch eine Relativverschiebung zwischen dem Anschlußelement 24 und dem Anschlußbereich 22, wodurch die Schenkel 26 des als Klammer ausgebildeten Anschlußelementes weiter auf den Anschlußbereich 22 aufgeschoben werden. Dieser Zustand, in welchem die elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Anschlußelement 24 und dem Anschlußbereich 22 sowie der optimale Abstand zwischen dem Boden des Anschlußelementes und der Leiterbahn unabhängig von den jeweils vorliegenden Toleranzen gewährleistet ist, ist in Figur 4b gezeigt.First, the circuit board at the points that connect to the Contact elements are provided, coated with a solder paste. Subsequently the connector is placed on the circuit board, whereby the push-through contact element in the corresponding opening of the PCB penetrates. The mounting position shown in Figure 4a is the Contact elements 24 chosen so that the spacer 30 on the circuit board abuts before the push-through mounting contact element 38 completely is inserted into the circuit board. In the course of fitting the connector on the circuit board, the connecting element 24 dips into the there previously applied solder paste, the spacer 30 with its Vertex reliably displaces and penetrates the solder paste so that it is on the PCB rests. This ensures that the bottom 28 in all others Areas a predetermined, from the height of the spacer has a predetermined distance from the circuit board, which is preferably 0.1 mm and is completely filled with the solder paste. In the course of touchdown there is also a relative displacement between the connection element 24 and the connection area 22, whereby the legs 26th of the connecting element designed as a clamp further on the connection area 22 be postponed. This state in which the electrical connection between the connection element 24 and the connection area 22 and the optimal distance between the bottom of the connecting element and the conductor track regardless of the present Tolerances is guaranteed is shown in Figure 4b.

Sobald der Steckverbinder korrekt auf die Leiterplatte aufgesetzt ist, kann die Verlötung der Oberflächenmontage-Kontaktelemente erfolgen, wobei aufgrund des präzise eingehaltenen Abstandes zwischen dem Boden des Anschlußelementes 24 und der Leiterplatte eine zuverlässige Verlötung gewährleistet ist. Dieser Abstand zwischen dem Boden 28 des Anschlußelementes 24 und der Leiterplatte wird nicht beeinflußt von Toleranzen des Steckverbinders oder von Oberflächenunebenheiten der Leiterplatte, da eventuelle Toleranzen durch ein unterschiedlich weites Aufschieben des Anschlußelementes auf den Anschlußbereich 22 des OberflächenmontageKontaktelementes ausgeglichen werden.As soon as the connector is correctly placed on the circuit board the surface mounting contact elements are soldered, whereby due to the precisely maintained distance between the bottom of the Connection element 24 and the circuit board ensures reliable soldering is. This distance between the bottom 28 of the connecting element 24 and the circuit board is not affected by tolerances of the Connector or surface unevenness of the circuit board, because possible tolerances by postponing the Connection element on the connection area 22 of the surface mounting contact element be balanced.
