Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug guide for the connection of a plug on a first circuit board with a mating connector or a plug receptacle on a second circuit board.
  • the US 3,404,362 discloses a device for selectively guiding electrical connectors of printed circuit boards.
  • the EP 0 928 050 A2 discloses an apparatus for providing electrical connection between first and second printed circuit board assemblies arranged parallel to the first.
  • the US 5,161,996 discloses a device for electrical connection between two electrical connectors, in particular a cover for protecting an electrical connector.
  • the plug Since the plug is usually provided on the back of the display board and the system board is housed in a housing, the plugging operation can not be visually controlled.
  • printed circuit board connectors are usually multi-pin plug or power strip or Plug receptacles used. Therefore, it must be ensured that the plug is not plugged in by one or more plug positions offset and thus creates a false electrical polarity. This is particularly important in the high-pin connectors of utmost importance, since mis-plugging with an offset to a pole row up, down or side visually outward can not be detected almost and must be corrected consuming again only at the electrical connection of the entire device.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to show a plug guide for the above purpose, which always ensures a proper mating process.
  • the plug guide is fixed relative to the plug and surrounds the plug at least U-shaped, such that the underside of the plug is released to allow a mating operation with the mating connector on the second circuit board and in the mated state the show free ends of the U-shaped connector guide in the direction of the side of the second circuit board on which the mating connector is arranged.
  • the free end surfaces of the U-shaped plug guide are parallel to the side of the second circuit board on which the mating connector is arranged.
  • the determination of the plug guide relative to the plug is used for loss of security, so the plug guide is not accidentally and unnoticed lost during plugging and it comes to a mishap.
  • the plug guide according to the invention thus makes it possible to ensure a perfect plug-in operation even without a visual check.
  • the guidance is achieved by the outer geometry and also by the inner geometry.
  • the internal geometry of the connector guide is matched to the mating connector, that this plug in the connector with little play.
  • the internal geometry is preferably provided on the plug side edges with generous Ein Scienceschrägen or bevels.
  • the plug-side upper and lower edge is preferably also provided with generous insertion bevels.
  • the plug guide is connected by clamping to the plug or to the printed circuit board of the plug.
  • One embodiment provides that for this purpose protrude from the circuit board vertical metal strips into which the plug guide is pushed with a arranged on the top 1-shaped hook.
  • a further embodiment provides that formed on the top of the plug guide lugs are that can engage in corresponding recesses on other vertically projecting metal tabs. The metal strips are usually present anyway, since they serve to fix the display on the circuit board.
  • the position of the plug guide is thus clearly defined, so that the risk of mis-plugging is eliminated during the plug-in process.
  • the plate tabs projecting from the display circuit board have through holes which are aligned with further through holes in the plug guide and serve for screwing the display circuit board to the plug guide, the system circuit board and possibly a housing surrounding the system circuit board.
  • the screw connection has the advantage that when force is applied to the display board, the forces are not absorbed via the connector, but via the screw.
  • a power transmission via the connector would have the disadvantage that the contacts tire with time and thus no high creep strength of the connector would be guaranteed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a printed circuit board 1 for a display of a digital tachograph (DTCO).
  • DTCO digital tachograph
  • a plug 2 is provided with a plurality of poles, which for contacting the circuit board 1 with a system board 3 (see FIG. 4 ) of the digital tachograph serves.
  • a system board 3 see FIG. 4
  • a corresponding mating connector 4 is provided, in which the plug 2 must be inserted.
  • the plug 2 is designed as a connector strip and the mating connector 4 as a male connector in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the system board 3 is completely accommodated in a housing 5, which also front or plug side with a cover 6 (see FIG. 5 ) is closed.
  • a U-shaped connector guide 7 is provided, which fits tightly surrounds the plug 2 with only a small amount of play on three sides and releases the plug 2 only on the underside. The bottom of the plug 2 must be released to allow a plug-in operation for the arranged horizontally on the system board mating connector 4.
  • the plug guide 7 is in the FIGS. 6 to 11 illustrated in detail and will be explained in more detail with reference to these figures.
  • FIG. 6 shows the plug guide 7 in a view from below.
  • the plug guide consists of a central part 8 and two lateral flanges 9. In the lateral flanges 9 through holes 10 are provided, which allow a screw connection of the plug guide.
  • FIG. 7 shows the plug guide 7 in a front view.
  • the plug guide has above the middle part 8 a 1-shaped hook 11, which serves to fix the plug guide 7 on the display circuit board 1.
  • On the display board 1 is this outwardly substantially perpendicular to a tab 12, which surrounds the hook 7 when plugging.
  • the lugs 13 are wedge-shaped, so that after a latching of the lugs 13 in the recesses 15, the plug guide can not be pulled from the circuit board 1 without loosening the latch.
  • a lateral fixation is also achieved by the two opposite lugs 13 at recesses 15 and also by the hook 11. Further centering of the plug guide 7 relative to the plug 2 is achieved by the cross-sectionally U-shaped internal geometry of the plug guide 7, which prevents lateral movement or movement on the plug.
  • FIG. 4 shows FIG. 4 the system board 3 with the mating connector 4, which is completely surrounded by a housing 5.
  • the housing 5 is closed with a cover 6, which releases only through an opening for access to the mating connector 4.
  • the plug guide is provided both at the lateral plug-side edges of the inner geometry and at the upper plug-side edge of the inner geometry each with an insertion bevel 16.
  • the Ein slaughtergen 16 are in an enlarged view in the FIGS. 6, 7 and FIG. 9 shown.
  • the insertion bevels 16 ensure that, even with a slight lateral attachment of the plug 2, it is guided exactly over the mating connector 4.
  • the lower insertion bevel 17 facilitates the insertion movement relative to the system board 3
  • the upper insertion bevel 17 the insertion movement relative to the cover 6, which closes the front side of the housing 5 of the digital tachometer before attaching the display board to the display.
  • the plug guide 7 is shown in one piece of plastic and must only be plugged onto the connector 3 on the system board 1, wherein by the attached to the top hook 11 and the top (see FIG. 11 ) protruding lugs 13 is a latching with the on the display board 1 rearwardly projecting metal tabs 14 and the recesses 15 in the metal tabs 14 takes place.
  • FIG. 8 shows the plug guide 7 in side view, in which case the insertion bevels 17 can be seen on the plug-side upper and lower edge.
  • FIG. 9 which shows the section AA on the central part of the plug guide 7, can additionally recognize the insertion bevel 16 on the upper inner side of the central part.
  • FIG. 10 which cut BB FIG. 7 represents, the through hole 10 for connecting the connector guide 7 with the system board 3 to recognize the metal tabs 14 of the display board and the cover 6 of the housing.
