Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anschlußklemme für Leiterplatten mit einem einseitig offenen, mehrere Kontaktkammern aufweisenden Isolierstoffgehäuse, wobei jede Kontaktkammer ein Anschlußelement für einen elektrischen Leiter und eine oder mehrere Stromschienen aufnimmt.The present invention relates to a connector for printed circuit boards with a insulating material housing open on one side and having several contact chambers, wherein each contact chamber is a connector for an electrical conductor and accommodates one or more busbars.

Anschlußklemmen der vorerwähnten Art sind in vielerlei Ausführungsformen und für vielerlei Anwendungsfälle bekannt, so aus der DE 34 23 650 C1.Terminals of the type mentioned are in many embodiments and Known for many applications, so from DE 34 23 650 C1.

Insbesondere beim Einsatz derartiger Anschlußklemmen im Hochstrombereich wird die Wärmeentwicklung und insbesondere die erforderliche Wärmeabfuhr aus dem Bereich der Anschlußklemme zu einem Problem.Especially when using such terminals in the high current range the heat development and in particular the required heat dissipation from the Area of the connector to a problem.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, eine Anschlußklemme der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, bei der mit einfachsten konstruktiven Mitteln eine optimale Wärmeabfuhr aus dem Inneren des Isolierstoffgehäuses erzielt wird. The invention aims to provide a connector of the generic type create optimal heat dissipation with the simplest constructional means is achieved from the inside of the insulating material housing.

Dieses Ziel erreicht die Erfindung dadurch, daß innerhalb des Isolierstoffgehäuses mehrere nach außen führende und der Wärmeabfuhr dienende Kanäle vorgesehen sind.The invention achieves this goal in that within the insulating material housing several channels leading to the outside and used for heat dissipation are provided are.

Durch derartige - vorzugsweise im von der Leiterplatte abgewandten Bereich - nach außen führende Kanäle wird eine schornstein- oder kaminartige Abzugswirkung erzielt, durch welche die im Bereich der Strom führenden Teile entstehende Wärme schnell und wirkungsvoll aus dem Inneren des Isolierstoffgehäuses abgeführt wird.By such - preferably in the area facing away from the circuit board - after channels leading outside have a chimney or chimney-like extraction effect, through which the heat generated in the area of the current leading parts is quickly and effectively removed from the inside of the insulating material housing.

Zur Erreichung dieses Vorteiles bedarf es vergleichsweise einfacher konstruktiver Maßnahmen bei der Gestaltung der Werkzeuge, in denen das Isolierstoffgehäuse für eine erfindungsgemäße Anschlußklemme gefertigt wird.To achieve this advantage, it is comparatively simpler to construct Measures in the design of the tools in which the insulating housing for a terminal according to the invention is manufactured.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Gehäusewandungen des Isolierstoffgehäuses im Bereich ihrer einer Leiterplatte zugewandten Montageebene mit in den Bereich der Kanäle führenden Aussparungen versehen sind.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the housing walls of the insulating material housing in the area of its assembly level facing a printed circuit board are provided with cutouts leading into the area of the channels.

Hierdurch wird auch im Bereich der Montageebene des Isolierstoffgehäuses eine Verbindung der Kanäle zur Außenluft geschaffen, wodurch die Abzugswirkung zum Abführen der im Inneren des Isolierstoffgehäuses entstehenden Wärme erheblich begünstigt wird.As a result, a is also in the area of the assembly level of the insulating material housing Connection of the channels to the outside air is created, which creates the exhaust effect to dissipate the heat generated inside the insulating material housing considerably is favored.

Nach einem weiteren Gedanken der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zumindest ein Teil der Kanäle durch nach außen offene Zwischenkammern gebildet ist, welche jeweils zwischen den Kontaktkammern des Isolierstoffgehäuses angeordnet sind.According to a further idea of the invention it is provided that at least one Part of the channels is formed by intermediate chambers open to the outside, which are each arranged between the contact chambers of the insulating material housing.

Durch diese der Wärmeabführ dienenden Zwischenkammern wird zusätzlich der Vorteil erreicht, daß die Kriechstrecken für Kriechströme zwischen den Strom führenden Teilen in den Kontaktkammern deutlich länger werden und außerdem wird durch die gewählte konstruktive Gestaltung der erwähnten Zwischenkammern die mechanische Stabilität des Isolierstoffgehäuses deutlich verbessert.Through these intermediate heat-dissipating chambers, the Advantage achieved that the leakage paths for leakage currents between the current leading Parts in the contact chambers become significantly longer and moreover through the chosen design of the intermediate chambers mentioned mechanical stability of the insulating material housing significantly improved.

Vorteilhafterweise sind die "doppelwandigen" Trennwände zwischen den Kontaktkammern und den Zwischenkammern teilweise durchbrochen oder mit Schlitzen versehen. Hierdurch wird eine gute Luftabführung aus den Kontaktkammern in die Zwischenkammern und damit eine Verbesserung der Wärmeabfuhr erreicht.The "double-walled" partitions between the contact chambers are advantageous and the intermediate chambers partially broken or with slits Mistake. This ensures good air discharge from the contact chambers into the Intermediate chambers and thus an improvement in heat dissipation achieved.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu den als Kanäle ausgebildeten Zwischenkammern besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Kontaktkammern selbst mit nach außen führenden Durchbrüchen zu versehen, so daß die Kontaktkammern selbst Kanäle zur Wärmeabfuhr bilden.Alternatively or in addition to the intermediate chambers designed as channels also the possibility of leading the contact chambers themselves to the outside Breakthroughs to be provided so that the contact chambers themselves channels for heat dissipation form.

Bei einem Isolierstoffgehäuse einer erfindungsgemäßen Anschlußklemme, welches in an sich bekannter Weise mit Öffnungen zum Anbringen von mit der Stromschiene kontaktierenden Prüfsteckern versehen ist, ist vorgesehen, daß diese Öffnungen größer sind als dies zum Einführen der Prüfstecker notwendig ist, so daß durch diese Öffnungen eine weitere Verbesserung der Wärmeabfuhr erzielt ist.In an insulating housing of a terminal according to the invention, which in a manner known per se with openings for attaching to the busbar Contacting test plugs is provided that these openings are larger than is necessary for inserting the test plug, so that through this Openings a further improvement in heat dissipation is achieved.

Die vergrößerten Öffnungen für die Prüfstecker sind vorteilhafterweise durch einen umlaufenden Rand fingersicher ausgebildet.The enlarged openings for the test plug are advantageously through a circumferential edge designed finger-safe.
