Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector having a housing and at least two electrical, each having a longitudinal axis having contact elements, which are arranged at a plug side of the housing at predetermined positions and with respective longitudinal axis aligned parallel to a plug-in direction of the connector, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • contact element refers to any type of plug contact with one, two or more conductors, such as coaxial connectors in the form of coaxial and coaxial jack and pin contacts and socket contacts.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connector of o.g. Improve type of assembly and electrical contact.
  • each electrical contact element is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction movable in the housing and is elastically resiliently connected via at least one electrically insulating, elastic spring element with at least one second electrical contact element, wherein the elastic spring element is arranged and designed such that the electrical contact elements are pre-positioned at the respective predetermined position to tolerance deviations and are elastically resiliently deflected from this point in the plane perpendicular to the insertion direction.
  • the contact elements are suspended elastically floating and thereby tolerance-related deviations between the positions of the electrical contact elements of the connector and corresponding electrical complementary contact elements or mating contact elements in a complementary connector in which the electrical complementary contact elements or mating contact elements are rigidly arranged, be automatically compensated during mating of connectors and complementary connector by elastic deflection of the electrical contact elements of the connector and despite tolerance-related deviations of the respective positions a good electrical contact between the respective electrical contact elements of connectors and complementary connector is ensured.
  • the electrical contact elements in the housing of the connector are arranged movable so that the mobility of the electrical contact elements in the plane perpendicular to the direction of insertion includes tilting and / or a translational parallel displacement of the longitudinal axes of the electrical contact elements.
  • each electrical contact element is designed as a coaxial connector with an inner conductor and an outer conductor.
  • each electrical contact element is connected to a signal conductor element, which in each case electrically connects an electrical contact element to a connection point for a cable.
  • each signal conductor element is designed as a coaxial line or stripline and optionally has an electrical shield.
  • all signal conductor elements are arranged extending from the respective contact element in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction, each signal conductor element formed as a rigid component and provided in the housing for each signal conductor element a recess and is formed such that each signal conductor element together with the associated contact element in a plane perpendicular to the direction of insertion is movable.
  • each electrical contact element is surrounded by an electrically insulating sleeve and each sleeve of an electrical contact element via a respective electrically insulating elastic spring element with a sleeve of an adjacent electrical contact element elastically resiliently connected, wherein the spring elements in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the insertion direction, for example, ⁇ -shaped and sleeves and spring elements are integrally formed with each other to form a spring housing.
  • first locking means and on each spring element second locking means are formed, which fix the spring elements cooperatively with the first locking means and with these the electrical contact elements on the housing.
  • each first latching means comprises an elastically resilient tab which rises in the direction of insertion of the housing and has a recess
  • each second latching means comprises a detent which rises perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the respective spring element and into the recess of the resilient Tab of the first locking means fits.
  • a mechanical coding, which prevents unwanted incorrect insertion of the connector according to the invention is provided by the fact that at least one of the tabs of the first locking means of the housing has a different width than the other tabs.
  • For holding the connector in the inserted state rise from the housing in the insertion direction at least two, in particular three, from each other spaced latching pin with respective latching lug, which are designed to engage in a housing or plug-in interface, which carries complementary to the electrical contact elements of the connector contact elements.
  • first preferred embodiment of a connector 100 comprises a housing 110 in which elongated socket contacts 112 are arranged, of which in the supervision of Fig. 1 only the front sides are visible.
  • These socket contacts 112 are connected to each other by a network of elastic spring elements 114 and fixed by means of this network of spring elements 114 within the housing 110 at positions corresponding to a nominal dimension (nominal positions) for the socket contacts 112. These positions correspond to the positions of pin contacts within a housing of a mating connector or complementary connector into which the connector is inserted.
  • each socket contact 112 can move away from this desired position in an arbitrary direction within the plane of the drawing independently of the other socket contacts 112.
  • the network of spring elements 114 is designed in such a way that each socket contact 112 can move by the order of magnitude of tolerance deviations from the desired positions in accordance with the nominal dimension for the individual contacts.
  • the socket contacts 112 may move slightly out of their respective desired position to adapt to corresponding pin contacts , which are rigidly fixed, ie fixed, with tolerance deviation from the target position according to the nominal dimension in the mating connector.
  • This allows a mating arranged in a matrix contact elements without the electrical contact negatively affecting mechanical stresses or damage within the contact elements during mating due to tolerance deviations of the position of contact plugs or pins or contact sockets result.
  • contact pins and accordingly can be provided in the mating connector contact sockets.
  • sockets and pins may be mixed in the connector, wherein then the mating connector has a correspondingly complementary mixture of sockets and pins.
  • a connector 200 comprises a housing 210, three signal conductor elements 212, three contact elements 214 and a spring housing 216.
  • Arrow 222 is a plug-in direction in which the connector 200 according to the invention in a complementary connector or its plug interface, for example a Device or a cable can be inserted.
  • This plug-in direction 222 is in this example substantially perpendicular to a plane defined by the housing 210, so that it is an angle plug. However, this is just an example.
  • the plug-in direction 222 could also be aligned with a longitudinal axis of the connector, so that it is not a right angle connector but a straight connector.
  • the contact elements 214 are formed as a coaxial connector with inner conductor 218 and outer conductor 220.
  • the signal conductor elements 212 are each formed as a stripline extending in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction 222 and each connect a coaxial connector 214 with a cable terminal 224 at a cable-side end 226 of the connector 200.
  • the strip lines 212 are formed with three interconnects sandwiched one above the other, wherein the middle interconnect transmits the RF electrical signal and the two outer interconnects for electrical shielding of the signal conductor are connected to ground.
  • the housing includes, in particular in Fig. 3 recesses 228 for receiving one of the strip lines 212. These recesses 228 are dimensioned such that the strip lines 212 can move in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction 222.
  • first latching means 230 rise in the form of elastically resilient tabs with respective recess 232.
  • elastically resilient locking tabs 238 are formed on the cable-side end 226 of the housing 210, which are provided for attaching the strip lines 212 to the housing 210 at the cable end 226, in particular from Fig. 2 seen.
  • more detailed spring housing 216 includes three sleeves 240 of electrically insulating material, each surrounding a coaxial connector 214.
  • the sleeves 240 are provided at one of the plug-in direction 222 facing side at its periphery with a chamfer 242, which serve as a capture range for corresponding complementary coaxial connector when inserting the connector 200 according to the invention in the plug interface of a complementary mating connector.
  • the sleeves 240 are connected to each other via elastically resilient spring elements 244 such that the sleeves 240 together with the spring elements form the spring sleeve 216 which holds the one hand, the Koaxialsteckverbinder 214 at a predetermined position according to nominal (desired position) and on the other hand, an elastic deflection of the sleeves 240 and thus allows the coaxial connector 214 relative to each other, so that the coaxial connector 214 to tolerance-related deviations of the position of the complementary coaxial connector from its nominal position, which are rigidly in the mating connector or the plug-in interface, in which the connector 200 according to the invention is to be inserted, are arranged , can adapt by appropriate movement of the target position according to the specified size away.
  • the connector 200 allows simultaneous insertion of three separate coaxial connectors into corresponding complementary coaxial connectors, without having to arrange these complementary coaxial connectors with excessive requirements for low tolerance of positioning in the mating connector. This saves costs and production costs due to lower tolerance requirements or larger permissible tolerance deviations from the nominal dimension or the nominal position of the coaxial connectors 214 and complementary coaxial connectors.
  • the sleeves 240 and spring elements 244 form the spring housing 216 and are formed integrally with each other.
  • the sleeves 240 elastically resiliently connecting spring elements 244 are formed in a cross-section perpendicular to the insertion direction 222 is substantially ⁇ -shaped and wear on its outer side second locking means 246 in the form of locking lugs which fit into the recesses 232 of the tabs 230.
  • the coaxial connectors 214 can indeed be elastically deflected out of the desired position in the plane perpendicular to the plug-in direction 222, but are fixed along the plug-in direction 222.
  • the spring housing 216 When mounting the connector 200, the spring housing 216 is first pushed over the coaxial connector 214, so that each sleeve 240 receives a coaxial connector 214, as shown Fig. 4 and 5 seen. Thereafter, the strip lines 212 are inserted into the recesses 228 of the housing 210 against the insertion direction 222 until the locking tabs 238 of the housing 210 via the strip lines 212 and the detents 246 of the spring elements 244 of the spring housing 216 engage in the recesses 232 of the tabs 230, whereby the coaxial connectors 214 relative to each other by the clearance of the strip lines 212 in the recesses 228 and the elastic spring action of the spring elements 244 in a plane perpendicular to the plug-in direction 222 can move in the order of tolerance deviations away from the target position.
  • the tabs 230 have different widths.
  • a mechanical coding available that prevents a twisted incorrect insertion of the connector 200 into the mating interface of the mating connector.
  • the plug-in interface is for example an arrangement of complementary coaxial connectors in the housing of a car roof antenna with multiple antennas, for example, a mobile radio antenna and a GPS antenna.
  • Each antenna has its own coaxial connector.
  • the electrical connection between the antenna and the respective terminal, in this example mobile phone and GPS receiver is done directly by plugging the connector 200 of the invention into the plug-in interface of the car roof antenna.
  • the respective coaxial connector for mobile radio antenna and GPS antenna are plugged together.
  • An additional cable connection can be omitted.
  • the complementary coaxial connectors are each connected directly to the associated antenna. In addition to an improvement of the signal transmission by fewer impact points in the signal path results in a simplified assembly, since the respective pairs of coaxial connector / complementary coaxial connector for the different antennas need not be plugged together separately.
