Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Koaxial-Steckerteil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a coaxial connector part according to the preamble of Claim 1.

Wenn ein solches Steckerteil in ein komplementäres Steckerteil eingesteckt wird, um eine Steckverbindung zu erzielen, besteht die Gefahr, daß die beiden Steckerteile relativ zu einer zentrierten Anordnung, bei der die Mittelachsen der Steckkontakte zusammenfallen, verschoben oder verdreht sind. Bei einer solchen Fehlausrichtung können auf die Steckkontakte unerwünscht hohe Belastungen ausgeübt werden. Diese Belastungen werden von den Kontakten zum Teil über das Gehäuse und zum Teil direkt auf das Bauteil übertragen, an dem das Steckerteil angebracht ist. Wenn die Kontakte mit den Bauteilen verlötet sind, insbesondere in SMT-Technik, besteht die Gefahr, daß die auf die Lötstelle einwirkenden Belastungen zu einer Beschädigung der Lötstellen führen.If such a plug part in a complementary plug part is inserted to achieve a plug connection, there is the Danger that the two plug parts relative to a centered arrangement, in which the center axes of the plug contacts coincide, moved or twisted. With such a misalignment can on the Plug contacts undesirable high loads are exercised. These Loads are from the contacts in part through the housing and partly transferred directly to the component on which the plug part is appropriate. If the contacts are soldered to the components, in particular In SMT technique, there is a risk that the on the solder joint acting loads lead to damage to the solder joints.

Aus der US-A-5,769,652 ist ein Steckerteil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt, bei dem die Einheit aus Außenkontakt und Innenkontakt von insgesamt zwei Federn in eine Ausgangsstellung beaufschlagt werden, in der die Einheit gerade am Gehäuse ausgerichtet ist.From US-A-5,769,652 a plug part according to the preamble of claim 1 is known, wherein the unit from external contact and internal contact of a total of two springs in one Initial position can be applied, in which the unit is currently on Housing is aligned.

Aus der WO 00/52788 ist ein Adapter bekannt, der zur Verbindung von zwei Leiterplatten dient, insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Hochfrequenztechnik. An einer der Leiterplatten ist ein Sockelteil angebracht, das mit einem Kugelkopf versehen ist. Auf dem Kugelkopf ist schwenkbar ein Isolator angebracht, der mit einem Innenleiter und einem Außenleiter versehen ist. Der Isolator kann in ein komplementäres Sockelteil eingesteckt werden, das an der anderen Leiterplatte angebracht ist. Aufgrund der schwenkbaren Anordnung des Isolators kann ein seitlicher Versatz zwischen den beiden Leiterplatten kompensiert werden. Durch unterschiedlich tiefes Einstecken des Isolators in das komplementäre Sockelteil können Abstandsabweichungen der beiden Leiterplatten voneinander kompensiert werden. Bei dem bekannten Adapter handelt es sich jedoch nicht um ein Steckerteil, sondern um eine Koaxialverbindung, die zur dauerhaften Verbindung zwischen zwei Leiterplatten in einem Leiterplatten-Stapel dient. Auch ist der Bauaufwand vergleichsweise hoch, da die Kontaktierung des Innenleiters und des Außenleiters bei der gelenkigen Anbringung des Isolators sehr aufwendig ist.From WO 00/52788 an adapter is known, which is used to connect serves two printed circuit boards, especially in the field of High frequency technology. On one of the circuit boards is a base part attached, which is provided with a ball head. On the ball head is pivotally mounted an insulator, with an inner conductor and a Outer conductor is provided. The insulator can be in a complementary Base part are inserted, which is attached to the other circuit board is. Due to the pivotable arrangement of the insulator, a lateral offset between the two circuit boards can be compensated. By inserting different depths of the insulator into the complementary socket part can distance deviations of the two PCBs are compensated from each other. In the known Adapter is not a plug part, but one Coaxial connection for permanent connection between two printed circuit boards in a PCB stack. Also, the construction cost is comparatively high, since the contacting of the inner conductor and the outer conductor is very expensive in the articulated attachment of the insulator.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Koaxial-Steckerteil der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß die Kontakte bei geringem Bauaufwand geringeren Belastungen ausgesetzt werden, falls das Steckerteil mit einer Fehlausrichtung in ein komplementäres Steckerteil eingesetzt wird.The object of the invention is a coaxial connector part of develop the aforementioned type to the effect that the contacts be exposed to lower loads at low construction costs, if the plug part with a misalignment in a complementary Plug part is used.

Zu diesem Zweck ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß der Innenkontakt mit einem Kugelkopf versehen ist, auf den eine Federklammer aufgeschoben ist, die in SMT-Technik mit einer Leiterplatte verbunden werden kann. Der Außenkontakt ist am Gehäuse schwenkbar angebracht wodurch auch der im Außenkontakt aufgenommene Isolator und der im Isolator aufgenommene Innenkontakt als Einheit schwenkbar sind. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein besonders einfacher Aufbau, da lediglich ein einziges Bauteil schwenkbar am Gehäuse angebracht werden muß, nämlich der Außenkontakt. Dennoch kann sich die aus Innenkontakt, Außenkontakt und Isolator bestehenden Kontakteinheit beim Einstecken des komplementären Steckverbinders automatisch entsprechend der Fehlausrichtung der beiden Steckerteile ausrichten, so daß die Mittelachsen der ineinanderzusteckenden Kontakte wieder zusammenfallen. Die Kontakte der beiden Steckerteile können dann leicht ineinandergeschoben werden, ohne daß übermäßige Belastungen auftreten. Die Verwendung eines Kugelkopfes ergibt eine kugelgelenkartige Verbindung zwischen dem Innenkontakt und der Federklammer, so daß sich die Kontakteinheit relativ zur Federklammer verstellen kann, ohne daß eine Bewegung auf die Federklammer übertragen wird. Dies gewährleistet, daß die SMT-Lötstelle, mittels der die Federklammer mit der Leiterplatte verbunden werden kann, keinen Belastungen ausgesetzt wird. Der Beitrag der kugelgelenkartigen Verbindung zwischen dem Innenkontakt und der Federklammer zur schwenkbaren Anbringung der Kontakteinheit ist vemachlässigbar.For this purpose, the invention provides that the inner contact provided with a ball head, on which a spring clip is postponed, which in SMT technology connected to a printed circuit board can be. The external contact is pivotally mounted on the housing whereby the insulator received in external contact and in the Insulator recorded internal contact can be pivoted as a unit. On This way, a particularly simple structure, since only one single component must be pivotally mounted on the housing, namely the external contact. Nevertheless, the inner contact, External contact and insulator existing contact unit during insertion of the complementary connector automatically according to the misalignment Align the two connector parts, so that the central axes the nested contacts coincide again. The Contacts of the two connector parts can then be easily pushed together without excessive strain. The usage a ball head results in a ball joint-like connection between the inner contact and the spring clip, so that the contact unit can adjust relative to the spring clip without movement on the spring clip is transmitted. This ensures that the SMT solder joint, by means of the spring clip are connected to the circuit board can not be subjected to stress. The contribution of the ball-joint-like Connection between the inner contact and the spring clip for pivotal attachment of the contact unit is negligible.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß der Kugelkopf etwa mit dem Drehpunkt der Kontakteinheit im Gehäuse zusammenfällt. Dies gewährleistet, daß es zu keiner translatorischen Bewegung zwischen Federklammer und Innenkontakt kommt, wenn die Einheit aus Innenkontakt, Außenkontakt und Isolator relativ zum Gehäuse verschwenkt wird, sondern es lediglich zu einer Verdrehung um wenige Winkelgrade kommt.It is preferably provided that the ball head approximately with the fulcrum the contact unit in the housing coincides. This ensures that it to no translational movement between spring clip and Internal contact occurs when the unit is made of internal contact, external contact and isolator is pivoted relative to the housing, but it only to a twist by a few degrees comes.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the Dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform beschrieben, die in den beigefügten Zeichnungen dargestellt ist. In diesen zeigen:

  • Figur 1 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht ein erfindungsgemäßes Koaxial-Steckerteil;
  • Figur 2 in einer perspektivischen Explosionsansicht das Koaxial-Steckerteil von Figur 1; und
  • Figur 3 in einer Schnittansicht das Koaxial-Steckerteil von Figur 1 zusammen mit einem komplementären Steckerteil.
The invention will be described below with reference to a preferred embodiment, which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In these show:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an inventive coaxial connector part;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective exploded view of the coaxial connector part of Figure 1; and
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view of the coaxial connector part of Figure 1 together with a complementary connector part.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Koaxial-Steckerteil gezeigt, das als wichtigste Bauteile ein Gehäuse 10 sowie zwei Kontakteinheiten 12, 14 enthält, die am Gehäuse 10 befestigt sind. Jede Kontakteinheit ist gebildet aus einem Außenkontakt 16, einem Innenkontakt 18 und einem Isolator 20.In Figures 1 and 2, a coaxial connector part is shown as most important components a housing 10 and two contact units 12, 14th contains on the Housing 10 are attached. Each contact unit is formed of one External contact 16, an inner contact 18 and an insulator 20th

Das Gehäuse 10 besteht aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material, beispielsweise Kunststoff, und weist zwei Öffnungen zur Aufnahme der Kontakteinheiten auf. Den Öffnungen ist jeweils ein Haltering 11 zugeordnet, dessen Funktion später erläutert wird.The housing 10 is made of an electrically insulating material, for example Plastic, and has two openings for receiving the contact units on. The openings are each assigned a retaining ring 11 whose function will be explained later.

Der Außenkontakt 16 besteht aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material und weist an seinem dem Gehäuse 10 zugeordneten Ende eine hülsenförmige Schürze 22 auf, die mit zwei Aussparungen 24 versehen ist. Das freie Ende der Schürze 22 ist mit einem umlaufenden, von den beiden Aussparungen 24 unterbrochenen Vorsprung versehen, so daß das freie Ende zwei Rasthaken 25 bildet. Am Übergang der Schürze 22 in den Körper des Außenkontakts 16 ist ein Absatz 23 vorgesehen. Am entgegengesetzten Ende ist der Außenkontakt mit mehreren elastischen Zungen 26 versehen.The external contact 16 is made of an electrically conductive material and has at its the housing 10 associated with the end of a sleeve-shaped skirt 22nd on, which is provided with two recesses 24. The free end of the skirt 22 is with a circumferential, interrupted by the two recesses 24 Provided projection so that the free end forms two locking hooks 25. At the Transition of the skirt 22 in the body of the external contact 16 is a paragraph 23rd intended. At the opposite end is the external contact with several elastic tongues 26 provided.

Der Isolator 20 besteht aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material und ist mit zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Nasen 28 versehen, deren Abmessungen so ausgeführt sind, daß sie in die Aussparungen 24 des Außenkontakts 16 eingeschoben werden können.The insulator 20 is made of an electrically insulating material and is provided with two provided opposite lugs 28 whose dimensions so are executed in that they are in the recesses 24 of the external contact 16 can be inserted.

Der Innenkontakt 18 besteht aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material und ist hier als Hülse ausgeführt, deren eines Ende geschlitzt und deren anderes Ende mit einem Kugelkopf 30 versehen ist. Der Innenkontakt 18 ist ferner mit einem Rastbund 32 versehen.The inner contact 18 is made of an electrically conductive material and is here designed as a sleeve, slotted one end and the other end with a ball head 30 is provided. The inner contact 18 is further provided with a Rastbund 32 provided.

Dem Innenkontakt 18 ist eine Federklammer 34 zugeordnet, die eine U-förmige Gestalt hat. Die beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Schenkel der Federklammer 34 sind dafür vorgesehen, am Kugelkopf 30 des Innenkontakts elastisch anzugreifen. Der die beiden Schenkel miteinander verbindende Steg der Federklammer ist dafür vorgesehen, in SMT-Technik mit einer elektrisch leitenden Fläche verbunden zu werden. The inner contact 18 is associated with a spring clip 34 which is a U-shaped Has shape. The two opposite legs of the spring clip 34 are designed to be resilient on the ball head 30 of the inner contact attack. The two legs connecting the bridge of the Spring clip is intended to be used in SMT technology with an electrically conductive Surface to be connected.

Das Koaxial-Steckerteil wird in der folgenden Weise montiert: Zunächst wird der Haltering 11 im Gehäuse 10 befestigt. Die im Gehäuse liegende Stirnseite des Halterings 11 bildet dann einen Hinterschnitt, der bei einer einstückigen Ausgestaltung des Gehäuses 10 nur sehr schwer herstellbar wäre. Anschließend wird der Isolator 20 so in den Außenkontakt 16 eingeschoben, daß die Nasen 28 in die Aussparungen 24 eingreifen. Der Außenkontakt 16 zusammen mit dem Isolator 20 wird dann in den Haltering 11 eingeschoben, wobei die Rasthaken 25 hinter die Stirnseite des Halterings 11 schnappen. Der Abstand zwischen den Rasthaken 25 und dem Absatz 23 des Außenkontaktes 16 ist größer als die Länge des Halterings 11, so daß in axialer Richtung ein gewisses Spiel vorliegt. Ferner ist der Innendurchmesser des Halterings 11 größer als der Außendurchmesser der Schürze 22, so daß auch in radialer Richtung ein Spiel vorhanden ist.The coaxial connector part is assembled in the following way: First, the Retaining ring 11 fixed in the housing 10. The lying in the housing end of the Retaining rings 11 then forms an undercut, which in one piece Embodiment of the housing 10 would be very difficult to produce. Subsequently the insulator 20 is inserted into the outer contact 16 so that the lugs 28th engage in the recesses 24. The external contact 16 together with the Isolator 20 is then inserted into the retaining ring 11, wherein the latching hook 25th snap behind the front side of the retaining ring 11. The distance between the Latch hook 25 and the shoulder 23 of the outer contact 16 is greater than the length the retaining ring 11 so that there is a certain amount of play in the axial direction. Further the inner diameter of the retaining ring 11 is larger than the outer diameter of Apron 22 so that there is a game in the radial direction.

Der Innenkontakt 18 wird in den im Gehäuse 10 montierten Isolator 20 von der anderen Seite eingesetzt als der Isolator und der Außenkontakt 16, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt ist. Dabei rastet der Rastbund 32 des Innenkontakts 18 im Inneren des Isolators 20 ein, so daß der Innenkontakt fest aufgenommen ist. Schließlich wird auf den Kugelkopf 30 des Innenkontaktes 18 die Federklammer 34 aufgeschoben. Somit ist das Koaxial-Steckerteil fertig montiert. Das wichtige Merkmal besteht darin, daß im wesentlichen nur der Außenkontakt 16 für die schwenkbare Anbringung der Kontakteinheit am Gehäuse verantwortlich ist. Die Schwenkbarkeit ergibt sich aufgrund des radialen und axialen Spiels zwischen dem Haltering 11 und der Schürze 22 im Gehäuse.The inner contact 18 is mounted in the housing 10 mounted in the insulator 20 of the other side than the insulator and the external contact 16, as in Figure 2 is shown. In this case, the latching collar 32 of the inner contact 18 snaps inside the Insulator 20, so that the inner contact is firmly received. Finally will pushed onto the ball head 30 of the inner contact 18, the spring clip 34. Thus, the coaxial connector part is completely assembled. The important feature is in that essentially only the outer contact 16 for the pivotable Attachment of the contact unit on the housing is responsible. The swiveling arises due to the radial and axial clearance between the retaining ring 11th and the skirt 22 in the housing.

In Figur 3 ist das montierte Koaxial-Steckerteil gezeigt, das hier in einem Aufnahmeteil 40 angebracht ist. Weiterhin ist ein komplementäres Steckerteil 42 gezeigt, das in das montierte Koaxial-Steckerteil eingesteckt ist. Das komplementäre Steckerteil weist stiftförmige Kontakte 44 auf, die in die Innenkontakte 18 des Koaxial-Steckerteils eingeschoben sind. Am in Figur 3 unteren Außenkontakt 16 ist deutlich zu sehen, wie dieser schräg im Gehäuse 10 und im Haltering 11 aufgenommen ist: Der Abstand zwischen der linken Stirnseite des Halterings 11 und dem Absatz 23 ist auf der unteren Seite sehr viel kleiner als auf der oberen Seite, da der Außenkontakt 16 zusammen mit dem Isolator 20 und dem Innenkontakt 18 relativ zum Gehäuse 10 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verdreht ist. Diese Schwenkbewegung der Kontakteinheit erfolgt um einen Drehpunkt, der etwa mit dem Mittelpunkt des Kugelkopfes 30 des Innenkontakts 18 zusammenfällt. Somit kommt es, wenn sich die Einheit aus Außenkontakt 16, Innenkontakt 18 und Isolator 20 an ein schief eingestecktes komplementäres Steckerteil anpaßt, lediglich zu einer Drehbewegung zwischen der Federklammer 34 und dem Kugelkopf 30. Diese Drehbewegung kann trotz der Reibungskräfte zwischen dem Kugelkopf 30 und der Federklammer 34 aufgrund des großen Abstandes zwischen dem freien Vorderende der Kontakteinheiten 12, 14 und dem Drehpunkt auf dem Kugelkopf 30 mit geringen Kräften erzielt werden, da die einwirkenden Kräfte einen großen Hebelarm haben. Diese erforderlichen Kräfte sind erheblich geringer als die Kräfte, die für eine translatorische Bewegung zwischen Kugelkopf und Federklammer notwendig wären, da eine translatorische Bewegung nicht vom langen Hebelarm profitiert. In Figure 3, the mounted coaxial connector part is shown here in a Receiving part 40 is attached. Furthermore, a complementary plug part 42nd shown, which is inserted into the mounted coaxial connector part. The complementary plug part has pin-shaped contacts 44 which in the Inner contacts 18 of the coaxial connector part are inserted. Am in Figure 3 lower outer contact 16 can be clearly seen as this obliquely in the housing 10th and is received in the retaining ring 11: The distance between the left end side the retaining ring 11 and the shoulder 23 is much smaller on the lower side than on the upper side, since the outer contact 16 together with the insulator 20 and the inner contact 18 relative to the housing 10 in the counterclockwise direction is twisted. This pivotal movement of the contact unit is done by a Fulcrum, about the center of the ball head 30 of the inner contact 18 coincides. Thus, when the unit is external contact 16, Inner contact 18 and insulator 20 to an obliquely inserted complementary Adapts plug part, only to a rotational movement between the spring clip 34 and the ball head 30. This rotational movement, despite the frictional forces between the ball head 30 and the spring clip 34 due to the large Distance between the free front end of the contact units 12, 14 and the Fulcrum on the ball head 30 can be achieved with little force, since the acting forces have a large lever arm. These required forces are significantly lower than the forces required for a translational movement between ball head and spring clip would be necessary because a translational Movement not benefited from the long lever arm.
