Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical ribbon cable with at least one on one Carrier, in particular a carrier film, arranged flat electrical conductor tracks according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such electrical ribbon cables are known and are used wherever not enough space is available for standard round cables, which also go also have a higher weight compared to ribbon cables.
  • To contact such ribbon cables with other ribbon cables or with electrical, Electronic or similar devices or modules require the ribbon cable to be provided with a connector.
  • For contacting the conductor tracks with a connector it is known that the conductor track is soldered to the connector becomes. Since the ribbon cable, especially when used in harsh environmental conditions, tensile or compressive forces also act on the conductor track, in addition strain relief is provided in the form of one on the connector arranged tab is at least partially placed around the conductor track and on a way that is mechanically deformed that this tab the conductor track pierces.
  • an electrical ribbon cable in which on a Carrier, in particular a carrier film, at least one flat electrical conductor track is arranged.
  • a plastic part is arranged on the carrier such that the Plastic part together with part of the conductor track a plug or a socket forms.
  • Plastic parts are known, which are arranged at the ends of a ribbon cable. It is one end of a ribbon cable around a round plastic part arranged, which creates a gap between two round plastic parts, the one Rectangular plastic part with the associated end of the ribbon cable receives.
  • the invention has for its object to the disadvantages described above avoid.
  • a plastic part is arranged on the carrier in this way is that the plastic part together with part of the conductor track a plug or forms a socket.
  • the approximately wedge-shaped plastic part is either prefabricated and then attached to the carrier (for example by gluing) or directly connected to the carrier by injection molding.
  • the plastic part can be done in this way realizes a plug or a socket on at least one end of the ribbon cable who do not need any other contact partners, such as contact pins or the like, since the end area of the exposed conductor track forms the contact partner. So it is possible, not just one end of a single ribbon cable with a plug or one To provide socket. Because it can also be the ends of two or more, for example Ribbon cables are provided with a common plastic part and on this Be contacted or form a plug or socket.
  • the advantages of the configuration according to the invention are therefore that the Number of parts (ribbon cable including connector) significantly reduced, which means also lower costs due to the reduced number of parts and also due to of the reduced assembly effort are given.
  • the functional reliability increased because a connection between the conductor track and the contact partner (e.g. manufactured by soldering).
  • the ribbon cable is designed in particular as a flexible ribbon cable, whereby it it is also conceivable that the carrier is rigid (in particular as a circuit board).
  • Figure 1 shows the basic structure of a ribbon cable 1, which consists of a Carrier film 2 exists on which a conductor track 3 (or several conductor tracks 3 in parallel to each other) are arranged.
  • a ribbon cable 1 which consists of a Carrier film 2 exists on which a conductor track 3 (or several conductor tracks 3 in parallel to each other) are arranged.
  • a wedge-shaped one Plastic part 4 arranged on the carrier film 2 (for example by gluing or Facials).
  • the structure created in this way represents a plug, wherein at least in a partial area of the plastic part 4 the ones lying there Conductors are exposed.
  • the conductor tracks 3 In the remaining area of the ribbon cable 1 are the conductor tracks 3 either exposed or as a rule of one Protected cover film.
  • Figure 2 shows two correspondingly constructed ribbon cable 1, each one have their own plastic parts 4 and 5, the two plastic parts 4 and 5 be joined together so that a shaped and trained according to Figure 2 Connector is created.
  • this plug has at least one Plastic part on a locking hook 6 with which this connector in its counterpart is fixable.
  • the two plastic parts 4 and 5 are also used, for example Locking hooks mechanically connected to each other or can also by gluing or the like are connected together.
  • FIG. 3 shows the way in which a connector is manufactured, as was shown in FIG. 1.
  • the plastic part 4 has two halves 7 and 8, which are in the form of a film hinge are trained. With these two halves 7 and 8, the carrier film 2 of a single ribbon cable 1 or the end region of the carrier film from connected to several ribbon cables. After this is done, the two Halves 7 and 8 brought together to form the (wedge-shaped) plastic part 4 (shown in dashed lines) and form the connector as shown in Figure 1.
  • the two halves 7 and 8 are connected to each other by force and / or positive locking and keep the shown shape after matching.
  • a connector is shown again, in which the plastic part 4 in turn consists of two Halves 7 and 8 exist, but are movable relative to each other.
  • the 6 configured plug inserted into a socket designed according to Figure 4 has been introduced, a spacer between the two halves 7 and 8, the the conductor tracks of the plug against the corresponding conductor tracks of the socket suppressed.
  • the spacer is formed, for example, as a wedge 9, which after its insertion is fixable in position, which can be done for example by gluing.
  • Figure 7 shows the use of a plug in a housing (connector housing) by two To connect ribbon cables to each other.
  • One is an overhead ribbon cable again provided with its plastic part 4, which has a in its end region has raised edge to better shape the connector into the housing to be able to introduce.
  • the second ribbon cable lies approximately plane-parallel in the housing on, the two ribbon cables are to be aligned in such a way that the corresponding conductor tracks 3 lie opposite or one above the other.
  • the housing the connector consists in particular of an upper housing part 10 and a Lower housing part 11, these two parts of the housing forming a slot which take the plug (with the plastic part 4).
  • the ribbon cable below is also inserted into this slot and fixed in position. This fixation can for example, that the plastic part 4 with its ribbon cable in introduced the area between the upper housing part 10 and the lower housing part 11 and presses on the ribbon cable underneath.
  • the upper housing part 10 also has a recess 12 which is connected to the latching hook 6 of the plastic part 4 corresponds to the position fixation thereof.
  • Figure 8 shows a connector, in which again a plastic part 4 on the carrier film 2 of the Ribbon cable is arranged.
  • the plastic part 4 has a spring element 13 with which it faces one another outer component, in particular a housing (for example upper housing part 10), supported.
  • the spring element 13 is designed, for example, as a metal bow spring, can also be made in one piece with the plastic part 4. Others too geometric shapes of the spring element 13, such as. B. are a protruding tab possible.
  • Figure 9 shows an example of a plurality of ribbon cables 1, each with at their end Plastic parts 4 are provided to form a plug or a socket.
  • the ribbon cable 1 which should have different installation directions when installed, first in be made in one direction, the later laying direction from the Angle of the film hinge 14 results.
