Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for contacting a Printed circuit board by means of a connector.
  • the invention solves this problem with respect to the device by the object of claim 1 and with respect to the method by the subject matter of Claim 13.
  • a device for contacting a printed circuit board by means of a connector wherein the circuit board has contact pads and the Connector corresponding contacts, which are designed as resilient contacts and wherein the connector so on the circuit board by a Friedrastieri can be determined that its resilient contacts with resilient bias the contact pads contact the circuit board.
  • the individual spring contacts can be configured in any desired manner. So can For example, they each have a contact part, which via a spring on the housing supported by the connector. It is important that a vibration-proof contact realized the contact pads, in particular the solder pads on the circuit board becomes.
  • the number of holes in the circuit board can be reduced because the circuit board only with contact pads - such as Solder pads - provided on their surface must become. In the PCB inserted solder pins as contacts are against it not necessary anymore. In principle, so the number of holes on the few necessary holes for locking the connector to the circuit board or reduced to accommodate mounting brackets on the circuit board.
  • the connector therefore has a or as latching elements a plurality of latching pins, the latching engagement in corresponding detent holes the circuit board are designed.
  • This variant is especially suitable for larger ones Connector.
  • latching elements integrally connected to the connector or as this separate parts are formed.
  • the separate embodiment allows, for the locking elements and the remaining connectors each of the optimal materials in terms of each for locking function or for the remaining connectors existing Use requirements.
  • each one of the locking pin formed on a housing of the connector and the circuit board has only corresponding mounting holes.
  • the mounting brackets can in turn latching means for locking the connector exhibit.
  • mounting brackets as SMT mounting brackets.
  • the connectors can In contrast, consist of a cheaper plastic, since they are set only after soldering and not be heated during soldering.
  • the wiring of the connectors can be independent of the attachment of the connectors on the circuit board also in an independent production step.
  • an antirotation is realized for the blocks by the solder pins (especially by using two or more solder pins).
  • the bucks complementarily have a sufficiently large suction surface for vacuum pipettes over their focus on. In mated condition These prevent the blocks from sliding off the soldering clamp.
  • the solder pin length the bucket is particularly dimensioned so that the back of the circuit board can also be printed with solder paste.
  • the bucks can thus be handled automatically in tape-on-reel, tray or tube packaging deliver.
  • Fig. 1 shows a circuit board 1, which is provided with conductor tracks 2, which here with in a row 3 arranged, spaced-apart contact pads, in particular Soldering pads 4a, 4b, ... are connected.
  • a detent hole 5 is arranged on the side next to the ends of the row 3 from the soldering pads 4a.
  • the circuit board 1 is a corresponding Connector 6 with a strip-like housing 7, the example here his facing away from the circuit board side connecting wires 8 are fed, the in not shown way with resilient contacts 9a, ... are conductively connected, which in at least one row 10 on the printed circuit board 1 side facing the housing 7 are arranged and spaced from each other so that they solder pads 4a, ... contact.
  • solder pads 4a, ... and / or contacts 9a, ... are also several rows.
  • each latching pin 11 is formed, which for latching engagement in the Detent holes 5 are designed to set the connector 6 on the circuit board 1 and a sufficient resilient bias of the resilient contacts 9a, ... on the circuit board 1 to secure.
  • Fig. 1 is particularly suitable for larger connectors.
  • Fig. 2 differs from the embodiment of Fig. 1 in that here for smaller connectors another way of attachment the connector is selected on the circuit board.
  • the lateral locking pin 14th Before snapping the connector are laterally next to the ends of the series 3rd from the solder pads 4a, .. fastening blocks 12 mounted on the circuit board (for example by means of a soldering clip 13 or otherwise (Fig. 2a)), the lateral locking pin 14th have and here the groove 15 of a tongue and groove assembly 16.
  • the connector. 6 are provided with the corresponding corresponding fastening means, so here with lateral springs 17, which is also used as a counterpart to the latching on the locking pin 14th serve.
  • lateral springs 17 which is also used as a counterpart to the latching on the locking pin 14th serve.
  • This mounting state is shown in FIG. 2c.
