Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder mit integrierter Abschirmung, zur elektrischen Kontaktierung vorzugsweise vieladriger Kabel miteinander oder mit einer Leiterplatte oder dergleichen. Vorzugsweise besteht der Steckverbinder aus einer Messer- und einer korrespondierenden Federleiste, die lösbar miteinander verbindbar sind.The invention relates to a connector with an integrated Shielding, preferably for electrical contacting multicore cables with each other or with a printed circuit board or like. The connector preferably consists of a Knife and a corresponding female connector that can be detached are interconnectable.

Aus der auf die Anmelderin zurückgehenden DE 100 51 819 A1 ist eine Steckverbindung mit Abschirmung bekannt, bei der sowohl die Messer- als auch die Federleiste mit Abschirmblechen versehen sind. Mit diesen Abschirmblechen ist erreicht, dass die elektrische Verbindung der Messer und Federn jeweils gegen elektromagnetische Störeinflüsse von außen abgeschirmt ist sowie das Übersprechen von einem elektrischen Kontakt auf den anderen verhindert wird. Bei dieser Steckverbindung sind die einzelnen Kontakte der vielpoligen Messer- und Federleisten in mehreren zueinander parallelen Reihen angeordnet.From DE 100 51 819 A1, which goes back to the applicant a connector with shielding is known in which both the knife and female connectors Shielding plates are provided. With these shields is achieved the electrical connection of the knives and springs against electromagnetic interference from outside is shielded as well as the crosstalk from an electrical Contact on the other is prevented. At this Plug connections are the individual contacts of the multi-pole Knife and female connectors in several parallel to each other Arranged rows.

Zur Übertragung von elektrischen Signalen oder einer Versorgungsspannung ist es oft notwendig zwei oder mehr elektrische Kontakte des Steckverbinders paar- oder gruppenweise zusammen zu fassen und mit einer Abschirmung zu versehen. Dazu sind die jeweiligen Abschirmbleche an Messer- und Federleisten derart ausgestaltet, dass sie zumindest zwei elektrische Verbindungen, vorzugsweise in Form von Messer und Feder, paar- oder gruppenweise im wesentlichen durchgehend umlaufend umgreifen und nach außen abschirmen.For the transmission of electrical signals or a Supply voltage, it is often necessary to have two or more electrical contacts of the connector pair or to be grouped together and with a shield to provide. The respective shielding plates are on Knife and female connectors designed such that they at least two electrical connections, preferably in the form of knife and feather, in pairs or in groups essentially encompass all the way around and to the outside shield.

Mit einer derartigen Steckverbindung ist jedoch die Ausrichtung der beiden Elemente der Steckverbindung zueinander vorgegeben. Aufgrund der Ausgestaltung der Abschirmbleche ist eine paarweise Abschirmung zweier benachbarter Kontaktelemente in einer Reihe nur dann gegeben, wenn die beiden Elemente lagerichtig zueinander ineinander bzw. z.B. zwei Messerleisten von zwei Seiten her auf eine Leiterplatte, Platine oder dgl. aufgesteckt sind. With such a connector, however, the alignment of the two elements of the connector to each other specified. Due to the design of the shielding plates shielding two neighboring ones in pairs Contact elements in a row only if the the two elements in the correct position with respect to each other or e.g. two male connectors from two sides on a circuit board, Board or the like. Are attached.

Oftmals ist es jedoch gewünscht, dass die beiden Steckverbinderelemente von zwei Seiten her im 90° Winkel, relativ zueinander, auf eine Leiterplatte aufgesteckt werden. Mit den bekannten Steckverbindern ist dadurch eine durchgehende, zumindest paarweise Abschirmung zweier Kontaktelemente nicht möglich.However, it is often desirable that the two Connector elements from two sides at a 90 ° angle, relative to each other, to be plugged onto a circuit board. With the known connectors is a continuous, at least in pairs shielding two contact elements not possible.

Ausgehend vom Stand der Technik ist der Fachmann vor die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Steckverbinder derart zu gestalten, dass die beiden Steckverbindungselemente im 90° Winkel zueinander versetzt, relativ zu Ihrer jeweiligen Längserstreckung gesehen, miteinander verbindbar bzw. von zwei Seiten her auf eine Leiterplatte steckbar sind, und die paar- oder gruppenweise Abschirmung der Kontaktelemente gegeben ist; fakultativ soll der Steckverbinder mit standardisierten Bauteilen kompatibel sein.Starting from the prior art, the person skilled in the art is ahead of the Task to design a connector so that the two connector elements at a 90 ° angle to each other offset, seen relative to their respective longitudinal extension, connectable with one another or from two sides PCB are pluggable, and in pairs or groups Shielding of the contact elements is given; optionally, the Connectors are compatible with standardized components.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Steckverbindung mit Abschirmung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 oder des Patentanspruches 3 gelöst; vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 2 und 4 bis 11.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a Shielded connector with the characteristics of Claim 1 or claim 3 solved; advantageous developments and refinements of the invention are the subject of claims 2 and 4 to 11.

Ein Kerngedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die in mehreren zueinander parallelen Reihen angeordneten Kontaktelemente, das heißt jeweils Messer oder Federn, des jeweiligen Steckverbindungselementes zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind. Das bedeutet, dass zumindest zwei der mehreren Reihen der Kontaktelemente zueinander auf Lücke bzw. zueinander versetzt im Steckverbindungselement angeordnet sind. Bei einer Projektion senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der jeweiligen Reihe liegen daher die Kontaktelemente von zumindest zwei der Reihen nicht direkt übereinander. Des weiteren sind die Abschirmbleche derart ausgestaltet, dass zumindest zwei Kontaktelemente, jedes aus jeweils einer Reihe, paar- oder gruppenweise im Wesentlichen abschirmungstechnisch ummantelt sind. Die Abschirmung kann dabei zwei Kontaktelemente aus zwei benachbarten Reihen oder mehrere Kontaktelemente aus mehreren benachbarten Reihen umschreiben. Vorzugsweise sind die Kontaktelemente jeweils paarweise abgeschirmt. Die jeweiligen Abschirmbleche der Messer- und Federleisten sind dabei derart ausgebildet, dass im zusammengesteckten Zustand des Steckverbinders bzw. wenn er von zwei Seiten her auf eine Leiterplatte aufgesteckt ist, die Abschirmung um die beiden oder mehreren Kontaktelemente durchgehend umlaufend ist.A key concept of the invention is that the in arranged several rows parallel to each other Contact elements, that is, each knife or springs, the respective connector element offset from each other are arranged. That means at least two of the several rows of contact elements to each other on gap or offset from each other in the connector are arranged. With a projection perpendicular to The longitudinal direction of the respective row is therefore the Contact elements of at least two of the rows are not direct one above the other. The shielding plates are also such configured that at least two contact elements, each made essentially in a row, in pairs or in groups are covered with shielding technology. The shield can two contact elements from two adjacent rows or several contact elements from several adjacent rows rewrite. The contact elements are preferably each shielded in pairs. The respective shielding plates of the Knife and female connectors are designed such that in mated condition of the connector or if it is plugged onto a circuit board from two sides Shielding around the two or more contact elements is all the way round.

Mit der zueinander versetzten Anordnung der Reihen der Kontaktelemente sowie der reihenübergreifenden Abschirmung ist es ermöglicht, dass die beiden Steckverbinderelemente zum Beispiel im 90° Winkel zueinander versetzt, in ihrer jeweiligen Längserstreckung gesehen, miteinander verbindbar sind. Die Kontaktelemente haben dabei, in Draufsicht gesehen, eine vorzugsweise quadratische Anordnung zueinander, so dass die Steckverbinder auch über ihre Längserstreckung gesehen, an jeweils verschiedenen Positionen miteinander verbindbar sind. Auf Grund der Anordnung der Abschirmbleche ist dennoch eine durchgehende Abschirmung nach außen bzw. gegen Störeinflüsse von außen zumindest zweier Kontaktelemente gegeben.With the staggered arrangement of the rows of Contact elements and the cross-row shielding it is possible that the two connector elements for Example offset at 90 ° to each other, in their respective Seen longitudinal extension, are interconnectable. The Contact elements have one, seen in plan view preferably square arrangement to each other, so that the Connectors also seen on their longitudinal extent different positions can be connected to each other. Due to the arrangement of the shielding plates is nevertheless one continuous shielding to the outside or against Interference from the outside of at least two contact elements given.

Prinzipiell können an einem Steckverbinder bzw. an einem auf einer Leiterplatte aufgesteckten Steckverbinder mehrere weitere, um 90° verdrehte Steckverbinder angeordnet werden.In principle, can be on a connector or on a several additional connectors rotated by 90 ° can be arranged.

Vorzugsweise sind die mehreren Reihen der Kontaktelemente in den jeweiligen Steckverbinderelementen derart angeordnet, dass zwei Gruppen von Reihen gebildet sind. Jeweils die erste Gruppe und die zweite Gruppe ist dabei derart angeordnet, dass bei einer Projektion senkrecht zu ihrer Längserstreckung die einzelnen Kontaktelemente aufeinander liegen. Die erste und zweite Gruppe der Reihen jedoch ist zueinander versetzt angeordnet.Preferably, the multiple rows of contact elements are in the respective connector elements arranged such that two groups of rows are formed. The first one Group and the second group are arranged such that in the case of a projection perpendicular to its longitudinal extension, the individual contact elements lie on each other. The first and however, the second group of the rows is offset from one another arranged.

Mit einer geradzahligen Anzahl von Reihen, insbesondere vier, ist eine symmetrische Ausbildung des Steckverbindungselementes möglich, so dass bei der Verbindung zweier Steckverbindungselemente im 90° Winkel miteinander alle Kontaktelemente der mehreren Reihen miteinander verbindbar sind.With an even number of rows, especially four, is a symmetrical formation of the Connector element possible, so that when connecting two connector elements at a 90 ° angle to each other Contact elements of the several rows can be connected to one another are.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die jeweiligen Abschirmbleche im 45° Winkel zur Längserstreckung der Reihen der Kontaktelemente angeordnet. Dabei umgreifen sie zumindest zwei Kontaktelemente zweier benachbarter Reihen. Damit ist auch gewährleistet, dass alle Kontaktelemente der mehreren Reihen paar- oder gruppenweise von Abschirmblechen umschrieben sind.
In einer Weiterung der Erfindung sind die Abschirmbleche im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet. Bei geeigneter Dimensionierung des Abschirmbleches sowie der Abstände der Reihen bzw. der einzelnen Kontaktelemente zueinander wird mit dem Ineinanderstecken der beiden Steckverbinderelemente erreicht, dass die jeweiligen Schenkel des benachbarten U-förmigen Abschirmblechs zusammen mit der Rückseite des ersten Abschirmblechs eine im Wesentlichen durchgehend umlaufende Abschirmung von zumindest zwei Kontaktelementen bilden.In an advantageous development of the invention, the respective shielding plates are arranged at a 45 ° angle to the longitudinal extent of the rows of the contact elements. They encompass at least two contact elements of two adjacent rows. This also ensures that all contact elements of the several rows are circumscribed by shielding plates in pairs or groups.
In a further development of the invention, the shielding plates are essentially U-shaped. With a suitable dimensioning of the shielding plate and the spacing of the rows or the individual contact elements from one another, by plugging the two connector elements into one another, the respective legs of the adjacent U-shaped shielding plate together with the rear of the first shielding plate provide at least essentially continuous circumferential shielding form two contact elements.

Ein weiterer, zweiter, gleichwertiger Kerngedanke der Erfindung, nach dem ebenfalls die beiden Steckverbindungselemente im 90° Winkel zueinander versetzt, relativ zu ihrer jeweiligen Längserstreckung gesehen, miteinander verbindbar bzw. von zwei Seiten her auf eine Leiterplatte steckbar sind, besteht darin, dass durch eine Kröpfung der Kontaktelemente, d.h. der elektrisch leitfähigen Pins, einerseits die Anordnung der Kontaktelemente in geraden Reihen, jeweils zueinander fluchtend, sowie kompatibel zu herkömmlichen Steckverbindern ermöglicht ist, andererseits ist mit der Kröpfung der Kontaktelemente, d.h. mit einer im Wesentlichen z-förmigen Ausgestaltung der metallischen Pins, erreicht, dass die nach außen weisenden bzw. überstehenden dritten Abschnitte der Kontaktelemente, in Längsrichtung der Kontaktelemente gesehen, versetzt zu den in parallelen, zueinander fluchtenden Reihen angeordneten ersten Abschnitten der Kontaktelemente angeordnet sind. Damit sind diese dritten Abschnitte, in axialer Längserstreckung der Kontaktelemente gesehen, zu den ersten Abschnitten seitlich versetzt.
Der Versatz, der unter anderem durch die Größe bzw. Länge des zweiten Abschnittes, der sich im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längserstreckung des Kontaktelementes erstreckt, bestimmt wird, ist bevorzugt entsprechend den standardisierten Steckverbinder-Systemen gewählt.
Mit der versetzten Anordnung, in Längsrichtung des Kontaktelementes gesehen, der dritten Abschnitte zu den ersten Abschnitten, ist es ermöglicht, dass die jeweils versetzt angeordneten dritten Abschnitte zweier gleichartig ausgebildeter Messerleisten, wie vorstehend schon erwähnt, von zwei Seiten her auf eine mit Durchbrüchen versehene Platine aufsteckbar sind, so dass die jeweiligen dritten Abschnitte sich ungefähr in der Mittelebene der Platine berühren und derart eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Kontaktelementen der Messerleisten hergestellt wird. Die Innenwandung der Durchbrüche kann selbst elektrisch leitend ausgebildet sein, so dass die Toleranzen bei der Fertigung der Kontaktelemente selbst als für das Einstecken der Kontaktelemente in die besagte Platine nicht so eng gehalten werden müssen, was sich kostenmindernd auswirkt.Another, second, equivalent core concept of the invention, according to which the two plug connection elements are also offset at a 90 ° angle to one another, seen relative to their respective longitudinal extent, can be connected to one another or can be plugged onto a printed circuit board from two sides, is that by a Cranking of the contact elements, ie the electrically conductive pins, on the one hand the arrangement of the contact elements in straight rows, in each case in alignment with one another, and compatible with conventional connectors is made possible, on the other hand, with the cranking of the contact elements, ie with an essentially Z-shaped design of the metallic Pins, achieved that the outwardly facing or protruding third sections of the contact elements, seen in the longitudinal direction of the contact elements, are arranged offset to the first sections of the contact elements arranged in parallel, mutually aligned rows. These third sections, as seen in the axial longitudinal extent of the contact elements, are laterally offset from the first sections.
The offset, which is determined, inter alia, by the size or length of the second section, which extends essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the contact element, is preferably selected in accordance with the standardized connector systems.
With the staggered arrangement, seen in the longitudinal direction of the contact element, of the third sections to the first sections, it is possible for the third sections, which are staggered in each case, of two knife strips of the same design, as already mentioned above, from two sides onto a board provided with openings can be plugged on, so that the respective third sections touch approximately in the central plane of the circuit board and in this way an electrical connection is established between the contact elements of the male connectors. The inner wall of the openings can itself be designed to be electrically conductive, so that the tolerances in the manufacture of the contact elements themselves do not have to be kept as narrow as for the insertion of the contact elements into the circuit board, which has a cost-reducing effect.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung dieser Variante der Erfindung ist die Ausrichtung der drei Abschnitte der Kontaktelemente derart, dass die ersten und dritten Abschnitte, jeweils in ihrer Längserstreckung, parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind und die zweiten Abschnitte, die die eigentliche Kröpfung bilden, dazu senkrecht ausgerichtet sind. In spezieller, kostensparender Weise sind derartig gekröpfte Kontaktelemente aus an sich bekannten geraden Kontaktelementen bzw. metallischen Pins durch zwei vorzugsweise gleichzeitig ablaufende Biegevorgänge herstellbar.According to an advantageous development of this variant of Invention is the alignment of the three sections of the Contact elements such that the first and third sections, each in their longitudinal extent, parallel to each other are aligned and the second sections which are the actual Form crank, aligned perpendicular to it. In special, Such cranked contact elements are cost-saving from known straight contact elements or metallic pins by two preferably at the same time ongoing bending processes can be produced.

In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Abschirmbleche auch hier im wesentlichen als U-förmiges Bauteil ausgebildet, wobei die beiden parallelen Schenkel des " U " jeweils gleich- oder unterschiedlich lang sind. Dabei sind insbesondere zwei erste Abschnitte zweier Kontaktelemente, die nebeneinander, in parallelen Reihen angeordnet sind, gemeinsam von dem U-förmigen Abschirmblech umgriffen.
Dazu ist es vorteilhaft, dass eine gerade Anzahl an Reihen der Kontaktelemente vorhanden ist, so dass jeweils zwei benachbarte Kontaktelemente mit einem gemeinsamen Abschirmblech versehen sind. Vorzugsweise sind vier Reihen von Kontaktelementen in der Messer- oder Federleiste angeordnet.Advantageously, the shielding plates are here also essentially formed as a U-shaped component, the two parallel legs of the "U" each having the same or different lengths. In particular, two first sections of two contact elements, which are arranged next to one another in parallel rows, are jointly encompassed by the U-shaped shielding plate.
For this purpose, it is advantageous that there is an even number of rows of contact elements, so that two adjacent contact elements are each provided with a common shielding plate. Four rows of contact elements are preferably arranged in the knife or female connector.

Die Messer- bzw. Federleisten werden bevorzugt aus Kunststoff hergestellt, vorzugsweise im Spritzgussverfahren, wobei die jeweiligen Kontaktelemente entweder lösbar einsetzbar und über eine Rastverbindung festlegbar sind oder bei der Herstellung bereits eingegossen werden.
Die Abschirmbleche werden z.B. durch Umbiegen eines flachen Blechs oder Ablängen eines Blechprofiles erhalten und sind ebenfalls entweder lösbar in dem Steckverbinderelement einsetzbar oder bereits eingegossen.The knife or female connectors are preferably made of plastic, preferably by injection molding, the respective contact elements either being releasably insertable and attachable via a snap-in connection or being cast in during manufacture.
The shielding sheets are obtained, for example, by bending a flat sheet or cutting a sheet profile to length, and are likewise either detachably insertable in the connector element or already cast in.

Die U-förmigen Abschirmbleche, in Form von umgebogenen bzw. abgewinkelten Metallblechen, können auch den Boden einer Messerleiste durchgreifen, so dass sie auf der anderen Seite über die Fläche des Bodens überstehen. Dies kann beispielsweise bei der Herstellung einer Messerleiste aus Kunststoff während eines Spritzgießvorganges automatisch erfolgen.The U-shaped shielding plates, in the form of bent or angled metal sheets, can also be the bottom of a Reach through the male connector so that it is on the other side project over the surface of the floor. This can for example in the manufacture of a male connector Plastic automatically during an injection molding process respectively.

Um die Messerleisten lagerichtig auf eine Platine aufzustecken und dabei insbesondere das Verbiegen der bei der weiteren Variante versetzten dritten Abschnitte zu vermeiden, sind weitere, nach außen über die Bodenfläche der Messerleiste überstehende Führungselemente vorgesehen. Diese sind vorzugsweise einstückig an die Messerleiste angeformt, werden also z.B. während des Spritzgießens ausgebildet.To place the male connectors on a circuit board in the correct position and in particular the bending of the other Variant to avoid staggered third sections further, outwards over the bottom surface of the male connector protruding guide elements provided. These are preferably integrally formed on the male connector e.g. e.g. trained during injection molding.

Die dem jeweiligen anderen Steckverbinderelement zugewandte Rückseite eines Bauteils ist entweder derart ausgebildet, dass eine weitere Messer- oder Federleiste mit dem Element verbindbar ist oder dass ein vieladriges Kabel direkt mit dem Element verbunden ist.The facing the other connector element Back of a component is either designed such that another knife or female connector with the element is connectable or that a multi-core cable directly with the Element is connected.

Bei dem in Figur 1 dargestellten ersten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sind zwei Messerleisten 1 von zwei Seiten her auf eine Leiterplatte 6 aufgesteckt. Die beiden Messerleisten 1 sind im 90° Winkel, in ihrer jeweiligen Längsrichtung gesehen, zueinander angeordnet. Die beiden Messerleisten 1 sind mit Kontaktelementen 4 versehen. Diese sind hier in Form elektrisch leitfähiger Stifte ausgebildet, die den Boden 8 der Messerleiste 1 durchgreifen. Zusammen mit den seitlichen Wandungen "A" und "B" ist ein Innenraum umschrieben, in den eine korrespondierend ausgebildete Federleiste mit Kontaktelementen in Form von Federn einsteckbar ist. Zur besseren Übersichtlichkeit der Zeichnungen ist die bekannte Federleiste hier nicht abgebildet.
Die Kontaktelemente 4 sind hier in vier zueinander parallelen Reihen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d angeordnet. Jeweils zwei der Reihen 5a bis 5d sind dabei zueinander versetzt angeordnet, so dass bei einer Projektion senkrecht zur Längsrichtung jeweils die Kontaktelemente 4 der ersten 5a und dritten 5c bzw. der zweiten 5b und vierten 5d Reihe übereinander liegen. Die Abschirmbleche 3 umgreifen jeweils zwei Kontaktelemente 4 zweier benachbarter Reihen und zwar hier der Reihen 5a und 5b bzw. 5c und 5d. Die Abschirmbleche 3 sind dabei im 45° Winkel zur Längserstreckung der Reihen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d angeordnet.In the first exemplary embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1, two male connectors 1 are plugged onto a printed circuit board 6 from two sides. The two male connectors 1 are arranged at a 90 ° angle to one another, as seen in their respective longitudinal directions. The two male connectors 1 are provided with contact elements 4. These are designed here in the form of electrically conductive pins which reach through the bottom 8 of the male connector 1. Together with the side walls "A" and "B", an interior is circumscribed into which a correspondingly designed female connector with contact elements in the form of springs can be inserted. For better clarity of the drawings, the known female connector is not shown here.
The contact elements 4 are arranged here in four mutually parallel rows 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d. In each case, two of the rows 5a to 5d are arranged offset from one another, so that in the case of a projection perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the contact elements 4 of the first 5a and third 5c or the second 5b and fourth 5d row lie one above the other. The shielding plates 3 each encompass two contact elements 4 of two adjacent rows, namely rows 5a and 5b or 5c and 5d. The shielding plates 3 are arranged at a 45 ° angle to the longitudinal extent of the rows 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.

Die Abschirmbleche 3 sind im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet, wobei die beiden Schenkel 10 und 10' des "U" nicht senkrecht zum Grund des "U" ausgerichtet, sondern senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der Reihen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d angeordnet sind. The shielding plates 3 are essentially U-shaped formed, the two legs 10 and 10 'of the "U" not aligned perpendicular to the bottom of the "U", but perpendicular are arranged to extend the rows 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.

Bei Draufsicht auf die Messerleiste 1 ist dabei einer der Schenkel 10 des "U" länger ausgebildet, so dass er annähernd bis zur benachbarten Reihe reicht, und zwar derart, dass beispielsweise bei einem Abschirmblech 3, das je ein Kontaktelement 4 der Reihen 5a und 5b umgreift, derjenige Schenkel des U-förmigen Abschirmblechs 3 länger ausgebildet ist, der den in der Reihe 5b angeordneten Kontaktstift 4 umgreift.When looking at the male header 1 is one of the Leg 10 of the "U" is longer, so that it is approximately extends to the neighboring row in such a way that for example with a shield 3, each one Contact element 4 of the rows 5a and 5b, the one Leg of the U-shaped shielding plate 3 formed longer which engages around the contact pin 4 arranged in the row 5b.

Die Federleiste ist mit korrespondierenden Abschirmblechen versehen, so dass, wenn die Federleiste in die Messerleiste 1 eingeschoben ist, jeweils zwei Kontaktelemente 4 von einem Abschirmblech 3 der Messerleiste 1 und einem Abschirmblech der Federleiste im Wesentlichen durchgehend umlaufend umhüllt sind.The female connector is with corresponding shielding plates provided so that when the female connector is inserted in the male connector 1 is inserted, two contact elements 4 of one Shielding plate 3 of the male connector 1 and a shielding plate the female connector is essentially wrapped all around are.

Die Leiterplatte 6 ist mit Bohrungen 7 zur Aufnahme der Kontaktelemente 4 versehen, wobei die Dicke der Leiterplatte 6 bzw. die Länge der Kontaktelemente 4 bevorzugt derart gewählt ist, dass von zwei Seiten her Messerleisten 1 auf die Leiterplatte 6 aufsteckbar sind und sich die jeweiligen Kontaktelemente 4 ungefähr in der Mittelebene der Leiterplatte 6 berühren oder aneinander anlegen und derart die elektrisch leitfähige Verbindung herstellen; die Bohrungen 7 können jedoch auch mit einer elektrische leitenden Schicht versehen sein. The circuit board 6 has holes 7 for receiving the Provide contact elements 4, the thickness of the circuit board 6 or the length of the contact elements 4 is preferably chosen in this way is that from two sides knife strips 1 on the PCB 6 can be plugged in and the respective Contact elements 4 approximately in the central plane of the circuit board 6 touch or put together and so the electrical Establish a conductive connection; the holes 7 can, however also be provided with an electrically conductive layer.

Die beiden Messerleisten 1 sind im 90° Winkel zueinander versetzt, so dass jeweils nur eine der Anzahl der Kontaktelemente 4 , die der Anzahl der Reihen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d der anderen Messerleiste 1 entspricht, miteinander kontaktiert werden. An der der Leiterplatte 6 zugewandten Seite "D" des Bodens 8 der Messerleiste 1 können auch weitere Elemente 9, vorzugsweise einstückig, angeformt sein, die zur Führung und/oder Ausrichtung der Messerleiste 1 dienen und in entsprechende Öffnungen oder Bohrungen in der Leiterplatte 6 in Eingriff gebracht werden. Beim Aufstecken der Messerleiste 1 auf die Leiterplatte 6 werden dabei zuerst die Führungsstifte 9 eingeführt und damit die Messerleiste 1 lagerichtig ausgerichtet, so dass ein Verbiegen der Kontaktelemente 4, zumindest nahezu, verhindert ist.The two male connectors 1 are at a 90 ° angle to one another offset, so that only one of the number of Contact elements 4, the number of rows 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d corresponds to other male connector 1, contacted with each other become. On the side facing the circuit board 6 "D" of Bottom 8 of the male connector 1 can also other elements 9, preferably in one piece, be molded to guide and / or orientation of the male connector 1 and in corresponding openings or holes in the circuit board 6 in Intervention. When attaching the male connector 1 the guide pins 9 are first on the circuit board 6 introduced and thus aligned the male connector 1 in the correct position, so that the contact elements 4 bend, at least almost, is prevented.

Die Abschirmbleche 3 können auch derart angeordnet sein, dass sie den Boden 8 der Messerleiste 1 durchgreifen und, im aufgesteckten Zustand, sich zumindest teilweise in die Leiterplatte 6 hinein erstrecken. Damit ist eine zumindest teilweise Abschirmung der elektrischen Verbindung im Inneren der Leiterplatte 6 gegeben. Zur Aufnahme der über den Boden 8 überstehenden Abschirmbleche 3 können in der Leiterplatte 6 entsprechende Nuten oder Vertiefungen vorgesehen sein. The shielding plates 3 can also be arranged such that they reach through the bottom 8 of the male connector 1 and, in attached state, at least partially in the Extend PCB 6 into it. At least that's one partial shielding of the electrical connection inside given the circuit board 6. To accommodate the floor 8 protruding shielding plates 3 can in the circuit board 6 corresponding grooves or depressions may be provided.

In Figur 2 ist eine schematische Projektion zweier Messerleisten 1 im auf eine Leiterplatte 6, hier nicht abgebildet, aufgesteckten Zustand dargestellt. Dabei sind die Kontaktelemente 4 jeweils in vier Reihen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d zueinander versetzt angeordnet.
Zusätzlich sind auch hier Führungsstifte 9 vorhanden, die bevorzugt quadratisch ausgebildet sind.
Die Kontaktelemente 4, hier die Messer der Messerleisten 1, es können aber auch Federn einer Federleiste sein, sind derart angeordnet, dass ihre gegenseitigen Abstände "Q" sowohl in den jeweiligen Reihen 5a, 5b, ... als auch zwischen den Reihen 5a, 5b, ... gleich groß gewählt sind. Damit ist ein quadratisches Diagonal-Maß der Kontaktelemente erreicht.
Jeweils zwei der Kontaktelemente 4 sind von einem im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildeten Abschirmblech 3 umschrieben, dessen Schenkel 10, 10' senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der Reihen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d ausgerichtet sind, wobei der Schenkel 10 länger als der Schenkel 10' ausgebildet ist. Damit wird in der Draufsicht ersichtlich, dass eine über die Längserstreckung der elektrischen Kontaktierung zwischen den beiden Messerleisten 1, zwar körperlich nicht durch die Leiterplatte 6 hindurch durchgehende, jedoch technisch umlaufend wirkende Abschirmung der elektrischen Kontaktierung erreicht wird. FIG. 2 shows a schematic projection of two male connectors 1 when plugged onto a printed circuit board 6, not shown here. The contact elements 4 are each offset in four rows 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
In addition, guide pins 9 are also present here, which are preferably of square design.
The contact elements 4, here the knives of the male connectors 1, but it can also be springs of a female connector, are arranged such that their mutual distances "Q" both in the respective rows 5a, 5b, ... and between the rows 5a, 5b, ... are chosen to be the same size. A square diagonal dimension of the contact elements is thus achieved.
Two of the contact elements 4 are circumscribed by an essentially U-shaped shielding plate 3, the legs 10, 10 'of which are aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the rows 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, the leg 10 being longer than the leg 10' is. It can thus be seen in the plan view that a shielding of the electrical contact is achieved over the longitudinal extent of the electrical contact between the two male connectors 1, which does not physically pass through the printed circuit board 6, but has a technically all-round effect.

In der Figur 2a ist die Anordnung von Messerleisten gemäß der Darstellung in Figur 2 gezeigt, jedoch wurden hier der besseren Anschaulichkeit halber auf das Zeigen der Abschirmbleche verzichtet, um das Abstandsmaß "Q" zwischen zwei Kontaktelementen eines Paares von Kontaktelementen zu verdeutlichen.In Figure 2a, the arrangement of male connectors according to the Representation shown in Figure 2, but here the better For the sake of clarity, point to the shielding plates waived the distance "Q" between two Contact elements of a pair of contact elements clarify.

In der Figur 2b sind die beiden in der Figur 2 um 90° zueinander gedreht gezeigten Messerleisten 1, deren äußere Fläche "D" ihrer Böden 8 einander zugewandt sind, zur Verdeutlichung der Lage der Kontaktelemente und der Abschirmbleche so weit verschoben, dass sie nicht übereinander liegen. Von einer Messerleiste ist die äußere Fläche "D" ihres Bodens 8 zu sehen und in der in dieser Figur unten gezeigten Messerleiste 1 schaut man auf die innere Fläche des Bodens 8 der Messerleiste 1. In beiden Messerleisten 1 sind die Paare der Kontaktelemente, die in der Figur 2 übereinander liegen und schaltungstechnisch miteinander verbunden sind, mit gleichen Bezugszeichen angezogen, und zwar mit den Bezugszeichen 4a bis 4d.In FIG. 2b the two in FIG. 2 are at 90 ° to one another Knife strips 1 shown rotated, the outer surface "D" their floors 8 are facing each other to illustrate the Position of the contact elements and the shielding plates so far moved that they are not on top of each other. From one Knife strip, the outer surface "D" of its bottom 8 can be seen and looks in the male connector 1 shown below in this figure one on the inner surface of the bottom 8 of the male connector 1. In two male connectors 1 are the pairs of contact elements that in FIG. 2 lie one above the other and in terms of circuitry are interconnected, with the same reference numerals attracted, with the reference numerals 4a to 4d.

Mit einer korrespondierend ausgebildeten Federleiste, die z.B. in den von Boden 8 und Wandungen gebildeten Innenraum der Messerleiste 1 eingesteckt wird, ist damit auch eine durchgehende Abschirmung der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen den Kontaktelementen 4, z.B. Messern, und den Kontaktelementen, z.B. Federn an der Federleiste erreicht.With a correspondingly designed female connector, e.g. in the interior of the floor 8 and walls Male connector 1 is inserted, is also one continuous shielding of the electrical connection between the contact elements 4, e.g. Knives, and that Contact elements, e.g. Springs reached on the female connector.

Bei dem in Figur 3 dargestellten, weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sind zwei Messerleisten 11 von zwei Seiten her auf eine Leiterplatte 6 aufgesteckt, ebenso wie in Fig. 1. Die beiden Messerleisten 11 sind mit Kontaktelementen 41 versehen. Diese sind hier in Form elektrisch leitfähiger Stifte ausgebildet, die auch den Boden 8 der Messerleiste 11 durchgreifen. Zusammen mit den seitlichen Wandungen "A" und "B" ist ein Innenraum umschrieben, in den eine korrespondierend ausgebildete, standardisierte Federleiste mit Kontaktelementen in Form von Federn einsteckbar ist. Zur Vereinfachung der Darstellung ist diese Federleiste auch hier nicht abgebildet.In the further embodiment shown in Figure 3 the invention are two male connectors 11 from two sides attached to a circuit board 6, as in Fig. 1. Die two male connectors 11 are provided with contact elements 41. These are in the form of electrically conductive pins, which also reach through the bottom 8 of the male connector 11. Together with the side walls "A" and "B" is a Circumscribed interior, corresponding to one trained, standardized female connector with contact elements can be inserted in the form of springs. To simplify the This female connector is also not shown here.

Die gekröpften Kontaktelemente 41 sind hier in vier zueinander parallelen Reihen 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d angeordnet. Die vier Reihen 5a bis 5d sind dabei zueinander fluchtend angeordnet, so dass bei einer Projektion senkrecht zur Längsrichtung jeweils die ersten Abschnitte 4' der Kontaktelemente 41 der vier Reihen 5a bis 5d übereinander liegen.The cranked contact elements 41 are here in four to each other parallel rows 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d arranged. The four rows 5a to 5d are arranged in alignment with one another, so that at a projection perpendicular to the longitudinal direction the first Sections 4 'of the contact elements 41 of the four rows 5a to 5d lie on top of each other.

Die Abschirmbleche 31 umgreifen jeweils zwei erste Abschnitte 4' der Kontaktelemente 41 zweier benachbarter Reihen, und zwar hier der Reihen 5a und 5b bzw. 5c und 5d. Der Grund der Abschirmbleche 31 ist dabei im 90°-Winkel zur Längserstreckung der Reihen 5a bis 5d angeordnet.The shielding plates 31 encompass two first ones Sections 4 'of the contact elements 41 of two adjacent ones Rows, here the rows 5a and 5b or 5c and 5d. The The reason for the shielding plates 31 is at a 90 ° angle The longitudinal extent of the rows 5a to 5d is arranged.

Die Abschirmbleche 31 sind im wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet, wobei die beiden Schenkel 100 und 101 des " U " im wesentlichen senkrecht zum Grund des " U " ausgerichtet und parallel zur Längserstreckung der Reihen 5a bis 5d angeordnet sind. Die beiden Schenkel 100 und 101 sind in Figur 3 unterschiedlich lang.The shielding plates 31 are essentially U-shaped formed, the two legs 100 and 101 of the "U" in aligned substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the "U" and arranged parallel to the longitudinal extent of the rows 5a to 5d are. The two legs 100 and 101 are in FIG. 3 different lengths.

Die hier nicht dargestellte Federleiste ist mit korrespondierenden Abschirmblechen versehen, so dass, wenn die Federleiste in die Messerleiste 11 eingeschoben ist, jeweils zwei erste Abschnitte 4' der Kontaktelemente 41 von einem Abschirmblech 31 der Messerleiste 11 und einem Abschirmblech der Federleiste im wesentlichen durchgehend umlaufend umhüllt und damit gegen elektrische Störeinflüsse von außen bzw. nach außen abgeschirmt sind.The female connector, not shown here, is with corresponding Shielding plates provided so that when the female connector in the Knife strip 11 is inserted, two first Sections 4 'of the contact elements 41 from one Shield plate 31 of the male connector 11 and a shield plate the female connector essentially wrapped all the way around and thus against electrical interference from outside or behind are shielded on the outside.

Die Leiterplatte 6 ist mit Bohrungen 7 zur Aufnahme der dritten Abschnitte 4"' der Kontaktelemente 41 versehen, wobei die Dicke der Leiterplatte 6 bzw. die Länge der dritten Abschnitte 4"' der Kontaktelemente 41 bevorzugt derart gewählt ist, dass von zwei Seiten her Messerleisten 11 auf die Leiterplatte 6 aufsteckbar sind und sich die jeweiligen dritten Abschnitte 4"' der Kontaktelemente 41 ungefähr in der Mittelebene der Leiterplatte 6 berühren oder aneinander anlegen und derart die elektrisch leitfähige Verbindung herstellen. Die Bohrungen 7 können jedoch auch mit einer elektrisch leitfähigen Beschichtung versehen sein bzw. in Form von Steckhülsen aus Metall in eine Leiterplatte 6 aus Kunststoff eingesteckt sein.The circuit board 6 has holes 7 for receiving the third Sections 4 "'of the contact elements 41 provided, the Thickness of the printed circuit board 6 or the length of the third sections 4 "' the contact elements 41 is preferably selected such that from Knives 11 on two sides of the printed circuit board 6 are pluggable and the respective third sections 4 "' of the contact elements 41 approximately in the central plane of FIG Touch circuit board 6 or put them together and so the Establish an electrically conductive connection. The holes 7 can also be used with an electrically conductive coating be provided or in the form of metal sleeves in a Printed circuit board 6 made of plastic.

Die beiden Messerleisten 11 sind im 90°-Winkel zueinander verdreht, so dass jeweils nur eine Anzahl der Kontaktelemente 41, die der Anzahl der Reihen 5a bis 5d der anderen Messerleiste 11 entspricht, miteinander kontaktiert werden. An der der Leiterplatte 6 zugewandten Seite "D" des Bodens 8 der Messerleiste 11 können auch weitere Elemente 9, vorzugsweise einstückig, angeformt sein, die zur Führung und/oder Ausrichtung der Messerleiste 1 dienen und in entsprechende Öffnungen oder Bohrungen in der Leiterplatte 6 in Eingriff gebracht werden. Beim Aufstecken der Messerleiste 11 auf die Leiterplatte 6 werden dabei zuerst die Führungsstifte 9 eingeführt und damit die Messerleiste 11 lagerichtig ausgerichtet, so dass ein Verbiegen der dritten Abschnitte 4"' der Kontaktelemente 41, zumindest nahezu, verhindert ist.The two male connectors 11 are at a 90 ° angle to one another twisted so that only a number of each Contact elements 41, the number of rows 5a to 5d corresponds to other male connector 11, contacted with each other become. On the side facing the circuit board 6 "D" of Bottom 8 of the male connector 11 can also other elements 9, preferably in one piece, be molded to guide and / or orientation of the male connector 1 and in corresponding openings or holes in the circuit board 6 in Intervention.

Die hier vorgesehenen Abschirmbleche 31 können auch derart angeordnet sein, dass sie den Boden 8 der Messerleiste 11 durchgreifen und, im aufgesteckten Zustand, sich zumindest teilweise in die Leiterplatte 6 hinein erstrecken. Damit ist eine zumindest teilweise erhöhte Abschirmung der elektrischen Verbindung im Inneren der Leiterplatte 6 gegeben. Zur Aufnahme der über den Boden 8 überstehenden Abschirmbleche 31 können in der Leiterplatte 6 entsprechende Nuten oder Vertiefungen vorgesehen sein.The shielding plates 31 provided here can also be of this type be arranged so that they cover the bottom 8 of the male connector 11 reach through and, when plugged in, at least partially extend into the circuit board 6. So that's one at least partially increased shielding of the electrical Connection given inside the circuit board 6. To record of the shielding plates 31 projecting above the bottom 8 can in the circuit board 6 corresponding grooves or depressions be provided.

In Figur 4 ist eine schematische Projektion zweier Messerleisten 11 im auf eine Leiterplatte 6, hier nicht abgebildet, aufgesteckten Zustand dargestellt. Dabei sind die ersten Abschnitte 4' der Kontaktelemente 41 jeweils in vier Reihen 5a bis 5d zueinander fluchtend angeordnet. Die dritten Abschnitte 4"' der Kontaktelemente 41 sind in dazu versetzten Reihen 5a' bis 5d' angeordnet. Die zweiten Abschnitte 4" verlaufen im wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Längserstreckung der jeweiligen ersten und dritten Abschnitte 4', 4"' in der Zeichenebene. Wie aus der Darstellung in Figur 3 ersichtlich stehen diese zweiten Abschnitte 4" hier nach außen über den Boden 8 der Messerleiste 11 über, können aber auch in Vertiefungen des Bodens 8 angeordnet bzw. bei der Herstellung bereits mit in den Boden 8 eingegossen werden.In Figure 4 is a schematic projection of two Male connectors 11 on a circuit board 6, not shown here, shown attached state. Here are the first Sections 4 'of the contact elements 41 each in four rows 5a up to 5d aligned. The third Sections 4 "'of the contact elements 41 are offset to this Rows 5a 'to 5d' arranged. The second sections 4 " run essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the respective first and third sections 4 ', 4 "' in the Plane. As can be seen from the illustration in FIG. 3 are these second sections 4 "here to the outside over the Bottom 8 of the male connector 11 over, but can also in Wells of the bottom 8 arranged or in the manufacture already poured into the bottom 8.

Die Ausrichtung der Versetzung bzw. Kröpfung ist derart gewählt, dass jeweils zwei dritte Abschnitte 4"' zweier benachbarten Reihen, z.B. 5a und 5b, voneinander weg versetzt sind, so dass der Abstand dieser Dritten Abschnitte 4"' größer ist als der Abstand der zugehörigen ersten Abschnitte 4'.
Die zweiten Abschnitte 4" einer Messerleiste 11 sind dabei vorzugsweise alle parallel zueinander ausgerichtet.The alignment of the offset or offset is selected such that two third sections 4 "'of two adjacent rows, for example 5a and 5b, are offset from one another, so that the distance between these third sections 4"' is greater than the distance between the associated rows first sections 4 '.
The second sections 4 ″ of a male connector 11 are preferably all aligned parallel to one another.

Zusätzlich sind auch hier quadratisch ausgebildete Führungsstifte 9 vorhanden. Die Kontaktelemente 41, hier die Messer der Messerleisten 11, es können aber auch Federn einer Federleiste sein, sind derart angeordnet, dass ihre gegenseitigen Abstände sowohl in den jeweiligen Reihen 5a bis 5d - Abstände "a" - als auch zwischen den Reihen 5a bis 5d- Abstände "b" - gleich groß gewählt sind. Damit ist ein quadratisches Diagonal-Maß "Q" der Kontaktelemente erreicht.In addition, they are square-shaped Guide pins 9 available. The contact elements 41, here the Knife of the knife bars 11, but it can also springs Be female connectors are arranged so that their mutual distances both in the respective rows 5a to 5d - distances "a" - as well as between rows 5a up to 5d distances "b" - are chosen to be the same size. So that's a square diagonal dimension "Q" of the contact elements reached.

Gemäß der Ausführung in Figur 4 sind jeweils zwei der ersten Abschnitte 4' der Kontaktelemente 41 von einem im wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildeten Abschirmblech 31 umschrieben, dessen Schenkel 100, 101 parallel zur Längserstreckung der Reihen 5a bis 5d ausgerichtet sind, wobei der Schenkel 100 länger als der Schenkel 101 ausgebildet ist. Damit wird in der Draufsicht ersichtlich, dass eine über die Längserstreckung der elektrischen Kontaktierung zwischen den beiden Messerleisten 1, zwar körperlich nicht durch die Leiterplatte 6 hindurch durchgehende, jedoch technisch umlaufend wirkende Abschirmung der elektrischen Kontaktierung erreicht ist. According to the embodiment in Figure 4, two of the first Sections 4 'of the contact elements 41 of one essentially U-shaped shielding plate 31 circumscribed Legs 100, 101 parallel to the longitudinal extent of the rows 5a to 5d are aligned, the leg 100 being longer than that Leg 101 is formed. So that is in the top view it can be seen that a over the longitudinal extent of the electrical Contact between the two male connectors 1, though not physically passing through the circuit board 6, however, all-round shielding of the electrical contact is reached.

In der Figur 4a ist eine Messerleiste 11 gemäß der Darstellung in Figur 4 gezeigt, wobei hier die Abschirmbleche 31 jeweils paarweise zwei erste Abschnitte 4' der Kontaktelemente umgreifen. Der Abstand "a" zweier Kontaktelemente 41 in einer Reihe, z.B. 5a, ist dabei größer als der gegenseitigen Abstand "b" zweier Reihen, z. B. zwischen 5a und 5b.4a shows a male connector 11 as shown in FIG Figure 4 shown, here the shielding plates 31 each in pairs, two first sections 4 'of the contact elements embrace. The distance "a" between two contact elements 41 in one Row, e.g. 5a, is larger than the mutual Distance "b" between two rows, e.g. B. between 5a and 5b.

In Figur 4b ist die Messerleiste 11 auf dem Kopf stehend abgebildet. Dabei ist die nach außen weisende Fläche "D" des Bodens 8 ersichtlich. Zusätzlich zu den dritten Abschnitten 4"' sind hierbei die Führungsstifte 9 abgebildet. Ebenso wie die dritten Abschnitte 4"' stehen auch die dazu senkrecht verlaufenden, jeweiligen zweiten Abschnitte 4" über die Bodenfläche "D" des Bodens 8 über. Die zweiten Abschnitte 4" aller Kontaktelemente 41 sind dabei parallel zueinander ausgerichtet. Die dritten Abschnitte 4"' zweier benachbarter Kontaktelemente, beispielsweise der Reihen 5a' und 5b' sind dabei derart versetzt angeordnet, dass ihr gegenseitiger Abstand größer ist als der Abstand der, hier nicht abgebildeten, ersten Abschnitte 4'.In Figure 4b, the male connector 11 is upside down displayed. The outward-facing surface "D" of the Bottom 8 can be seen. In addition to the third sections 4 "' the guide pins 9 are shown here. Just like that third sections 4 "'are also perpendicular thereto running, respective second sections 4 "over the Floor area "D" of floor 8 above. The second sections 4 " all contact elements 41 are parallel to each other aligned. The third sections 4 "'of two adjacent Contact elements, for example rows 5a 'and 5b' arranged so offset that their mutual distance is greater than the distance between the first, not shown here Sections 4 '.

Mit einer korrespondierend ausgebildeten Federleiste, die z.B. in den von Boden 8 und Wandungen "A", "B" gebildeten Innenraum der Messerleiste 11 eingesteckt wird, ist damit auch eine durchgehende Abschirmung der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen den Kontaktelementen 4, z.B. Messern, und den Kontaktelementen an der Federleiste , z.B. Federn, erreicht. With a correspondingly designed female connector, e.g. in the interior formed by floor 8 and walls "A", "B" the male connector 11 is inserted, is also a continuous shielding of the electrical connection between the contact elements 4, e.g. Knives, and that Contact elements on the female connector, e.g. Springs, reached.
