Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for contacting a circuit board by means of a connector.
  • US 5 199 896 A and US 4,871,315 A disclose devices each with a connector and a printed circuit board, in which the connector has latching means which engage in detent holes of the circuit board, so that the connector is fixed to the circuit board.
  • the connectors each have contacts that are designed as resilient contacts.
  • the connectors must be placed on the circuit board prior to soldering and then exposed to thermal stress during soldering. Or they are placed after soldering the circuit board to this, which requires an additional step.
  • US 5997329 A discloses a connector which is fastened with locking elements and a tongue and groove connection via a socket on a printed circuit board.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide an alternative device for contacting a printed circuit board by means of a connector that allows a solderless contacting of the circuit board by means of the connector, without the need for using a circuit board-side pin or socket strip.
  • the invention solves this object with respect to the device by the subject of claim 1.
  • a device for contacting a printed circuit board is provided 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 is fixed to the circuit board by a Aufrastiolo that his resilient contacts with resilient bias contact the contact pads of the circuit board.
  • this device it is possible to dispense with a circuit board side counterpart such as a pin header or a solderable female connector and make a cost-effective contacting of the contact pads on the circuit board without soldering the contacts with the contact pads.
  • the individual spring contacts can be configured in any desired manner.
  • they can each have a contact part, which is supported by a spring on the housing of the connector. It is important that a vibration-proof contacting of the contact pads, in particular the Lötrich is realized on the circuit board.
  • the number of holes in the circuit board can be reduced because the circuit board only with contact pads - such as. Solder pads - must be provided on their surface. In contrast, solder pins inserted into the printed circuit board as contacts are no longer necessary. In principle, the number of holes can be reduced to the few necessary holes for receiving mounting brackets on the circuit board in such a way.
  • the locking elements are integrally connected to the connector or formed as separate parts.
  • the separate configuration makes it possible to use for the locking elements and the remaining connectors each of the optimal materials in terms of each existing for locking function or for the other connectors requirements.
  • At least one mounting bracket is fixed on the circuit board in addition to the row of contact pads on which then the connectors are locked.
  • a mounting bracket is provided at each end of the Kunststoffpad plin.
  • the mounting brackets have lateral locking pins for locking the connector.
  • mounting brackets as SMT mounting brackets.
  • the connectors may consist of a cheaper plastic, since they are set only after soldering and are not heated during soldering.
  • the wiring of the connector can be done independently of the attachment of the connector on the circuit board in an independent manufacturing step.
  • an antirotation is realized for the blocks by the solder pins (in particular by using two or more solder pins).
  • the blocks additionally have a sufficiently large suction surface for vacuum pipettes above their center of gravity. When plugged in, these prevent the blocks from sliding off the soldering clip.
  • the Lötky thus the blocks is particularly dimensioned so that the back of the circuit board can also be printed with solder paste.
  • the bucks can thus be delivered automatically in tape-on-reel, tray or tube packaging.
  • Fig. 1 shows a printed circuit board 1, which is provided with conductor tracks 2, which here with arranged in a row 3, spaced-apart contact pads, in particular solder pads 4a, 4b, ... are connected.
  • a detent hole 5 is arranged in each case by way of example here.
  • the circuit board 1 is a corresponding connector 6 with a strip-like housing 7, the example here on its side facing away from the circuit board side leads 8 are supplied, in a manner not shown with resilient contacts 9a, 9b are conductively connected, which are arranged in at least one row 10 on the side facing the circuit board 1 side of the housing 7 and are spaced apart such that they contact the solder pads 4a, ....
  • soldering pads 4a, ... and / or contacts 9a, 9b could also be provided.
  • locking lugs 11 are formed on the housing, which are designed for latching engagement in the detent holes 5 to set the connector 6 to the circuit board 1 and to secure a sufficient resilient bias of the resilient contacts 9a, 9b on the circuit board 1.
  • Fig. 1 is particularly suitable for larger connectors.
  • Fig. 2 is different from the example of Fig. 1 in that a different type of attachment of the connector to the circuit board is selected here for rather smaller connectors.
  • FIG. 2a The connectors 6 are provided with the corresponding corresponding fastening means, so here with lateral springs 17, which also serve as a counterpart to the latching on the latching pin 14.
  • lateral springs 17 which also serve as a counterpart to the latching on the latching pin 14.
