Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for a coaxial cable with a Mating side and a conductor connection side, consisting of a sleeve-shaped, metallic plug part in which an insulating body is inserted, wherein a contact element is inserted into the insulating body.
  • the purpose of the invention is a plug connection between a connector for coaxial cables with a corresponding mating connector or directly with a correspondingly shaped circuit board edge of a circuit board to achieve, however, a high electrical plug security guarantee is.
  • EP 0 848 459 A2 describes a line connector for transmission electrical energy between a coaxial cable and a circuit board where a circuit board in the edge area with several elongated Slits is provided, whereby tongues form, the flanks are subsequently metallized and a correspondingly designed cable connector an electrical contact between the metallized Flanks and the electrical components of the cable-side connector part causes.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a connector the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that using the insert easier and fewer components a light and therefore inexpensive Installation with optimal shielding and signal routing as well as a secure electrical connection of coaxial cables is made possible.
  • the insulating body in a partial area provided with tongues formed by longitudinal slots and pointing outwards is that in the insulating body several in a row Different diameter, central bores are provided that the tongue ends on their side facing the inside of the insulating body are provided with conical or widening gradations that the Center conductor of the coaxial cable in a receiving bore of the contact element is inserted, and that the insulating body in the sleeve-shaped Plug-in part is pushed in, the outwardly pointing tongues being compressed and the gradations put pressure on the insulation of the middle conductor.
  • the connector with an insulating body, which is inserted into a sleeve-shaped, metallic plug-in part, can centrally accommodate an electrical contact element and connects a central electrical center conductor of a coaxial cable to the contact element. Furthermore, it is advantageously provided to first provide strain relief for the central electrical center conductor and to achieve a further strain relief between the sheath of the coaxial cable and the plug-in part by crimping onto the sleeve-shaped plug-in part.
  • the insulating body which is designed as an elongated round body, has a plurality of stepped diameters in its interior, while outwardly pointing tongues formed by longitudinal slots extend from a head part, which is divided by a circumferential annular groove, to the end of the insulating body.
  • the differently graduated bores in the interior of the insulating body are preferably matched to the outside diameter of the electrical contact element and the coaxial cable that receives them.
  • steps are provided in the insulating body, which are pressed into the insulation when the tongues are pressed together.
  • it is advantageously provided with two spaced-apart thickenings which are pressed against the wall of the inner bore of the insulating body.
  • the shielding be made reliable electrical contact by means of a lamellar spring.
  • an annular lamellar spring arrangement with slats arranged at an angle of approximately 45 ° with respect to the vertical is firmly pressed into the front plug-in area of the plug-in part.
  • an annularly arranged lamella spring 7 is initially provided in the region of the plug-in side 3, but is preferably provided with slats 8 which run obliquely to the plug-in direction, but in this example has slats oriented in the plug-in direction.
  • an insulating body 10 is inserted into the plug-in part, in which a contact element 20 facing the plug-in side is inserted, which is provided with a receiving bore 23 pointing counter to the plug-in side, into which an electrical center conductor 34 of a coaxial cable 30 with a sheath 31 from the conductor connection side 4 of the connector is inserted.
  • the conductor connection side 4 of the sleeve-shaped plug-in part is provided as a crimp connection 5, the crimping acting next to the mechanical mounting of the coaxial cable on the shield braid 32 underneath and its shielding effect being transmitted to the electrically conductive plug-in part and again by means of the lamella spring 7 provided on the plug-in side 3 is transferred to a mating connector or, in the case of a direct connection, to an appropriately prepared circuit board. It can also be seen from FIG.
  • the front plug-in area 3 of the plug-in part 2 is bent obliquely inwards, so that the lamellar spring 7, which is also arranged in a ring-shaped manner within the plug-in part and can also be referred to as a basket spring, can only be displaced up to this constriction and the slope also makes it easier to plug the plug-in part into a mating connector, not shown here.
  • Fig. 2 the individual components provided for the connector are shown in an exploded view, the selected representation corresponding at the same time to an assembly sequence.
  • the plate spring 7 is already contained in the sleeve-shaped plug part 2.
  • the coaxial cable 30 is first prepared for the assembly, which can be done mechanically or by hand, with the plug connector 1 by first removing the outer sheath 31 in a certain length up to the shielding braid 32 underneath and bending the shielding braid back onto the outer sheath which is now further back becomes. Then the insulation 33, also called dielectric, is removed from the electrical center conductor 34 and the contact element 20 with the receiving opening 23 is pushed onto the electrical center conductor.
  • the insulating body 10 made of an electrically insulating material with the spread tongues 13 is first pushed onto the contact element 20, the contact element being initially centered in the central bore 14 and pushed further until the stop, the contact element 20 with its tip 21 through the Through hole 15 protrudes in the direction of insertion, while at the same time the tongues 13 completely cover the insulation 33 of the coaxial cable.
  • the sleeve-shaped plug-in part 2 is pushed over the combination of insulating body 10 and coaxial cable 30, the tongues 13, which are still spread, being gradually pressed together by the plug-in part 2 and thereby firstly clamping the contact element 20 and then the insulation 33 by means of the steps 17, so that axially forces acting from the coaxial cable to the connector and not to the electrical center conductor.
  • a clamping effect is also achieved on the two raised thickened portions 22 of the contact element and on the conical widening 16 of the bore 14 in the region of the receiving opening 23 for the electrical center conductor 34, which cone now lies directly on the surface of the contact element.
  • the sleeve of the plug-in part 2 and the coaxial cable are crimped together in the area of the shielding braid on the connection side 4.
  • the insulating body 10 is shown in a sectional view.
  • the insulating body has, as an elongated rotary body, a head part 11 and tongues 13 which spread apart and are separated from the annular groove 12 towards the opposite end and are separated by longitudinal slots 18.
  • a bore 14 with a through bore 15 and a conically widening region 16 are provided in the interior.
  • the bore 14 is shaped to receive the contact element 20 so that the thickenings 22 are first pressed against the inner wall of the insulating body 10 and then by pressing the tongues 13 together when the insulating body is inserted into the sleeve-shaped plug-in part, the conical extension 16 onto the wall of the Presses contact element, so that at the same time a pressure is exerted on the electrical conductor 34 of the coaxial cable inserted in the receiving bore 23.
  • the gradations 17 provided on the inner walls of the tongues 13 press when the insulating body is pushed together into the sleeve-shaped plug-in part 2 into the insulation 33, with which part of the tensile forces which can occur between the coaxial cable and the plug connector are already transmitted. The remaining tensile forces are absorbed by means of crimping on the crimp connection 5 on the connection side 4 on the shield 32 and the outer jacket 31 located underneath.
  • FIG. 3b A preferred embodiment of a lamellar spring 7 is shown in FIG. 3b sloping slats 8 shown opposite to the otherwise along Slats extending in the direction of insertion, has the advantage that the direct Plug on a specially shaped circuit board, the edges on the PCB should not be jammed in the gaps between the fins can.
