Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device according to the Preamble of claim 1, i.e. a PCB connector for connecting a first circuit board and one essentially perpendicularly attachable to this second PCB, with the PCB connector on the first circuit board is mounted, and wherein the circuit board connector is designed so that it with on provided opposite sides of the second circuit board electrical connectors can be brought into contact.
  • PCB connectors that are designed to work with provided on opposite sides of a circuit board electrical connectors to be brought into contact required because of the number of contacts, the PCB connector must have, continues to rise; electrical provided on both sides of a circuit board Connectors can - based on the length of the electrical Connector (the circuit board) - more contacts housed be as if only on one side of the circuit board electrical connector would be provided.
  • circuit board connectors require because of the very large number of usually very densely arranged contacts, via which they can be plugged on Circuit boards and with the circuit board carrying them highest precision. This applies in particular if the connection between the PCB connector and the circuit board supporting it is made using an SMT process (the PCB connector a surface mount PCB connector is). The same applies to those on the PCB connector PCB to be attached and the Assembly of the electrical connectors provided on this.
  • PCB connectors are the starting point mentioned type also very difficult to handle.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object the PCB connector according to the preamble of claim 1 further develop such that this also highest quality and reliability requirements relative is easy to manufacture and handle.
  • the part of the circuit board connector, the one on one side of the second Printed circuit board provided electrical connector in connection and the part of the PCB connector the one on the other side of the second Printed circuit board provided electrical connector in connection is to be brought by separate electrical connectors be formed.
  • the claimed PCB connector is also relative to the highest quality and reliability requirements easy to manufacture and handle.
  • the PCB connector described in more detail below serves to connect a first circuit board and a second circuit board that can be plugged perpendicularly onto this.
  • the first circuit board is, for example, a so-called Backplane or, more generally, a Rack; the second circuit board is for example a plug-in card to be plugged onto a backplane or - more generally - one on a rack assembly to be attached.
  • the PCB connector considered is on the first Printed circuit board mounted and designed with on opposite Provided sides of the second circuit board electrical connectors to come into contact.
  • the PCB connector 2 is characterized by that it consists of several separate sub-units. Both separate subunits are separate electrical Connectors 21 and 22, one of which (the electrical Connector 21) is designed with the one side the second printed circuit board 3 provided electrical connector (the electrical connector 4) and of which the other (the electrical connector 22) is designed with the on the other side of the second circuit board 3 provided electrical connector (the electrical connector 5). These electrical connectors 21 and 22 are separate items, which are independent of each other on the first circuit board 1 can be assembled.
  • the electrical connectors 21, 22 point in the example under consideration have an identical structure and are 180 ° apart rotated opposite.
  • FIG. 2 One of the electrical connectors 21, 22 is shown in FIG. 2 shown.
  • the electrical connectors 21, 22 consist of a housing 211, first contact elements 212 for connecting the same the first printed circuit board 1, and second contact elements 213 for connecting the same to the electrical connectors 4, 5 the second circuit board 3.
  • the electrical connectors 21, 22 are in the example considered surface mount connectors. That is, the first contact elements 212 are designed using a SMT process connected to the first printed circuit board (soldered) to become. However, it is already at this point pointed out that there is no restriction.
  • the Connection between the electrical connectors 21, 22 and the first circuit board can also be in any other way and way.
  • the second contact elements 213 are in two rows of contact blades arranged side by side. That is, the electrical connectors 21, 22 are two-row Male connectors. Accordingly, it is the electrical Connectors 4, 5 of the second circuit board 3 by two rows Female connectors. However, there is no restriction to this either.
  • the second contact elements 213 of the electrical Connectors 21, 22 can also be obtained in any other way be arranged.
  • the electrical connectors 21, 22 of the type shown in FIG. 2 can mounted independently on the first circuit board become. In particular, it is easy to set the distance to vary in which they are arranged parallel to each other become. This allows the PCB connector 2 of the first circuit board 1 very simple to the respective thickness the second circuit board 3 can be adapted. To adjust the PCB connector 2 to the thickness of the second circuit board 3 only need the solder pads on which the first Contact elements 212 of the electrical connectors are soldered, be positioned accordingly.
  • would be the PCB connector as before as a coherent (one-piece) Unity trained would have for different thicknesses the second circuit board 3 each have different circuit board connectors to be provided.
  • the sub-units, more precisely the electrical connectors 21, 22 each have a smaller number of contact elements (in the example considered only half as many each Contact elements) than the PCB connector 2. This is particularly evident in the first contact elements 212 as an advantage. These can (because of their comparative small number) with a relatively small number Align the effort coplanar, which is the case when using SMT processes for connection to the first circuit board 1 of is of paramount importance; the connections from using As is well known, components to be assembled in an SMT process must be coplanar.
  • the subunits are concerned (the electrical connectors 21, 22) of the circuit board connector for identically designed components. This turns out to be particularly advantageous because then only made a minimal number of different parts and must be installed, but is not absolutely necessary.
  • the electrical connectors 21, 22 can also be act different electrical connectors.
  • the first electrical connector 21 can be a double row male header be, and the second electrical connector one four-row male connector.
  • circuit board connector described is independent from the details of the practical implementation also at highest quality and reliability requirements relative easy to manufacture and handle.
