Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckverbinder, insbesondere für die Sensortechnik, mit einem Kontaktträger aus Isolierstoff, mit Kontaktkanälen zur Aufnahme einzelner Kontakte, ferner mit einem mit dem Kontaktträger verbundenen Griffkörper sowie einer mit elektrischen Bauelementen, insbesondere LED, bestückten Leiterplatine mit Platinendurchbrüchen zur Kontaktierung mit den Kontakten einerseits, die andererseits mit jeweils einer Ader einer elektrischen Anschlussleitung verbunden sind, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electrical connector, in particular for sensor technology, with a contact carrier made of insulating material, with contact channels for receiving individual contacts, furthermore with a grip body connected to the contact carrier and a with electrical components, in particular LED, equipped printed circuit board with platinum openings for contacting with the contacts on the one hand, on the other hand, each with a wire of an electrical Connecting line are connected, according to the preamble of the claim 1.
Steckverbinder dieser Art sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Die in den Steckverbinder integrierten elektrischen Bauelemente sind Bestandteil einer Schaltung, mit deren Hilfe insbesondere Funktion und Betriebszustand angezeigt werden sollen. Hierzu dienen verschiedene LED als Signalanzeigen. Damit man das von ihnen abgestrahlte Licht von außen erkennen kann, ist die Leiterplatine mit ihren Bauelementen in einen Griffkörper aus transluzentem oder transparenten Kunststoff eingeschlossen, der üblicherweise als Umspritzung des Kontaktträgers oder des Griffkörpers ausgebildet ist.Connectors of this type are available in various designs known. The integrated in the connector electrical components are part of a circuit that helps in particular Function and operating state should be displayed. Serve this purpose different LEDs as signal displays. To get that from them can detect radiated light from the outside, is the printed circuit board with their components in a handle body of translucent or transparent plastic, commonly referred to as Encapsulation of the contact carrier or the handle body is formed.
Bei einem herkömmlichen, druckschriftlich nicht belegbaren, durch offenkundige Vorbenutzung bekannten Steckverbinder (vgl. auch Fig. 2 von DE 42 22 685 C2 und zugehörige Beschreibung) weisen die Kontakte rückseitig Lötfüßchen auf, die in herkömmlicher Art mit Leiterbahnen der Leiterplatine verlötet sind. Die abisolierten Enden der Adern der elektrischen Leitung sind mit den jeweiligen Kontakten entweder ebenfalls durch Löten verbunden oder im Wege einer Crimpverbindung an die Kontakte angeschlossen. Beide Verbindungsarten und auch das Verlöten der Leiterplatine mit den Kontakten ist relativ aufwendig. In a conventional, not written, by known prior use known connector (see. Also Fig. 2 of DE 42 22 685 C2 and associated description) have the contacts on the back Lötfüßchen, which in conventional Type are soldered to tracks of the circuit board. The stripped Ends of the wires of the electric wire are with the respective ones Contacts either also connected by soldering or in the way a Crimpverbindung connected to the contacts. Both connection types and also soldering the printed circuit board to the contacts is relatively expensive.
Dem gegenüber offenbart die DE 42 22 685 C2, von der die vorliegende Erfindung ausgeht, einen Steckverbinder, bei dem die Verbindung der Kontakte mit der Leiterplatte und der Anschluss der Leiteradern an die Kontakte bereits vereinfacht ausgeführt sind. Hier sind die rückwärtigen Abschnitte der Kontakte als Schneidklemmgabeln ausgeführt, in die die Aderenden nach Abwinklung um 90° aus ihrer in den Steckverbinder einmündenden Richtung eingepresst werden, wobei die Schneidklemmgabeln die Isolierumhüllung der Aderenden durchtrennen und sich in die Aderseelen eingraben, womit eine mechanisch und elektrisch zuverlässige Verbindung hergestellt wird. Daraufhin wird die Leiterplatine mit ihren durchkontaktierten Platinendurchbrüchen auf die leiteranschlussseitigen Schneidklemmkontaktenden der Kontakte aufgepresst. Zuletzt wird die vormontierte Baugruppe mit einem thermoplastischen Material umspritzt.On the other hand, DE 42 22 685 C2 discloses, from the present Invention assumes a connector in which the connection the contacts with the circuit board and the connection of the conductor wires already simplified to the contacts are executed. Here are the rear portions of the contacts as insulation displacement forks in which the wire ends after bending by 90 ° from their in the connector opening direction are pressed, wherein the insulation displacement forks are the Isolierumhüllung the wire ends cut and dig into the veins, with what a mechanically and electrically reliable connection is made. Then the printed circuit board with its plated-through platinum openings on the lead terminal side insulation displacement contact ends the contacts pressed on. Finally, the preassembled module overmoulded with a thermoplastic material.
Dieser Steckverbinder ist gegenüber dem einleitend beschriebenen Stand der Technik insbesondere insofern vorteilhaft, als alle Verbindungen als reine Steckverbindungen ausgeführt sind, die keine Lötvorgänge mehr erfordern.This connector is described with respect to the introductory State of the art in particular advantageous in that all compounds are designed as pure plug-in connections, no soldering require more.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine weitere Vereinfachung und Verbesserung eines Steckverbinders der eingangs vorausgesetzten Art.The object of the present invention is a further simplification and improvement of a connector of the initially assumed Art.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und ist dem entsprechend dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass im Kontaktträger oder im Griffkörper eine Aufnahme für die Leiterplatine ausgebildet ist, in deren positionsgerechter Lage die Platinendurchbrüche mit den Kontaktkanälen fluchten, dass die Adern auf der den Kontaktkanälen abgewandten Seite der Leiterplatine verlaufen und dass jeder Kontakt rückwärtig einen die Platinendurchbrüche durchgreifenden Abschnitt aufweist, dessen Ende als Spitze zum Eindringen in eine Litze der Ader ausgebildet ist. The invention solves this problem with the features of Claim 1 and is accordingly characterized in that in the contact carrier or in the handle body a receptacle for the printed circuit board is formed, in their position-appropriate position, the platinum openings aligned with the contact channels that the wires on the run away from the contact channels side of the circuit board and that every contact backward one the board breaks has sweeping section, whose end as a tip to penetrate is formed in a strand of the wire.
Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung führt zu einer Reihe von Vorteilen bzw. zu Möglichkeiten sinnvoller Weiterbildungen. Die Konfektionierung des Steckverbinders ist insoweit vereinfacht, als die Litzen ohne Abwinklung lediglich in Aderkanäle eingeschoben zu werden brauchen. Die Kontakte, die zunächst die Platinendurchbrüche der in der Ausnehmung positionsgerecht gehaltenen Leiterplatine durchgreifen und erst danach in die Aderlitzen eingreifen, sorgen für eine sehr sichere Vorfixierung aller Bauteile, bevor diese gemeinsam umspritzt werden.This embodiment of the invention leads to a series advantages or possibilities of useful further education. The Assembly of the connector is simplified insofar as the Strands without bending only to be inserted into core channels need. The contacts, the first the platinum breakthroughs of pass through in the recess positionally held printed circuit board and only then intervene in the wire strands, provide for a very secure prefixing of all components before they together to be overmoulded.
Die die Platinendurchbrüche durchgreifenden Abschnitte der Kontakte sind vorteilhafter Weise im Sinne stabiler mechanischer wie auch elektrischer Verbindung mit einer elastischen Einpresszone ausgerüstet, über die die Kontakte mit der Laibung der durchkontaktierten Platinendurchbrüche eine kraft- bzw. klemmschlüssige Verbindung eingehen.The platinum breakthrough cross sections of the Contacts are advantageously in the sense of stable mechanical as also electrical connection equipped with an elastic press-fit zone, via which the contacts with the soffit of the through-contacted Platinum breakthroughs a force or clamping connection received.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Griffkörper einstückig-stoffschlüssiger Bestandteil des Kontaktträgers und weist Kanäle zum Einstecken isolierter Litzen der Anschlussleitung auf, die die Kontaktkanäle im Kontaktträger queren. Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Kontakte von einer unwirksamen Stellung innerhalb des Kontaktkanals in eine Kontaktstellung verschiebbar sind, in der sich die Eindringspitze in der im Aderkanal bereitgehaltenen Litze befindet.In a further embodiment of the invention, the handle body one-piece cohesive component of the contact carrier and has Channels for inserting insulated leads of the connecting lead, the traverse the contact channels in the contact carrier. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the contacts from an ineffective position within the Contact channels are displaceable in a contact position in which the indenting tip is located in the strand held in the vein channel.
Die einstückige Ausbildung von Griffkörper und Kontaktträger ergibt insbesondere den Vorteil, dass im Zuge der Konfektionierung des Steckverbinders kein besonderer Griffkörper mehr anzuformen ist. Die elektrische Kontaktierung durch Verschieben der Kontakte in den Kontaktkanälen hat zur Folge, dass auf sehr einfache Weise die Eindringspitzen der Kontakte in die jeweilige Aderseele eindringen und den Kontakt herstellen können. The one-piece design of handle body and contact carrier gives the particular advantage that in the course of assembly the connector no special handle body is more form. The electrical contact by moving the contacts in the Contact channels result in a very simple way the Eindringpitzen the contacts penetrate into the respective cores soul and can make contact.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist es im Sinne einfach durchzuführender Konfektionierung weiterhin vorteilhaft, wenn der Griffkörper einen großquerschnittigen Trichter umfasst mit zu den Aderkanälen führenden Leitereinführ-Schrägflächen. Damit ist es möglich, die Litzen eines mehradrigen Kabels von Hand auf ganz einfache Weise in den Kontaktträger "einzufädeln", worauf hin die Litzen ihren Weg praktisch von selbst an ihren bestimmungsgemäßen Ort finden, weil sie entlang der Trichterflächen sicher und zuverlässig dorthin geführt werdenAccording to a preferred embodiment, it is simple in the sense To be carried out confectioning further advantageous if the Handle body includes a large cross-section funnel with to Core channels leading conductor insertion bevels. This makes it possible The strands of a multicore cable by hand to quite simple Way to "thread" in the contact carrier, whereupon the strands their Find a way to its intended destination by itself, because they are safe and reliable along the funnel surfaces be guided

zunächst einen Kontaktträger 11, auf dem gegebenenfalls eine Überwurfmutter
12 (Fig. 4 und 5) drehbar gelagert ist, sowie einen Griffkörper
13. Der Kontaktträger 11 bildet mit dem Griffkörper 13 beim

Er ist als relativ dünnwandiges Hülsenbauteil ausgebildet. Der Außendurchmesser
dieses Abschnitts entspricht, abgesehen von möglichen
Abwandlungen, im wesentlichen dem Außendurchmesser eines auf
herkömmliche Weise durch Umspritzung erzeugten Griffkörpers 13.Close to the rear end of the
Aufgrund der Ausgestaltung des Griffkörpers 13 als Hülsenbauteil
weist der Griffkörper 13 einen relativ großvolumigen inneren Hohlraum

einen großquerschnittigen Trichter aus mit Schrägflächen 20, die als
Adereinführschrägflächen dienen, wenn jeweils eine Ader 14 in einen
ihr zugeordneten Aderkanal 34 eingeschoben wird. Entsprechend der
Polzahl des Steckverbinders ist eine entsprechende Anzahl solcher
Aderkanäle im Basiskörper 18 vorgesehen.Due to the configuration of the
In diesem Zusammenhang sei erwähnt, dass zwischen den Litzen
14 und den Aderkanälen 34 vorzugsweise kein Kraftschluss vorliegen
soll, um es auf einfache Weise zu ermöglichen, dass man die
Leitung 15 ergreifen und alle Litzen 14 gleichzeitig einführen kann.In this connection it should be mentioned that between the
Zwischen den Aderkanälen 34 und den inneren Mündungen der
Kontakt-Führungskanäle 17 befindet sich in dem Basiskörper 18 eine
taschenartige Aufnahme 25, die eine von der Frontseite des Basiskörpers

Position hält.Between the
Im Rahmen der Vorkonfektionierung des Steckverbinders 10
sind die Kontakte 11 in einer funktionslosen Stellung innerhalb des
