Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder, mit einem ersten Kontaktträger, in welchem Kontakte angeordnet sind, die mit Gegenkontakten eines zweiten Kontaktträgers bei Anordnung der Kontaktträger aneinander eine elektrische Verbindung eingehen, wobei der erste Kontaktträger erste Kodiermittel umfasst, die mit zweiten Kodiermitteln des zweiten Kontaktträgers zusammenwirken und eine hinsichtlich der Verbindung von Kontakten und Gegenkontakten definierte Anordnung der Kontaktträger aneinander sicherstellen.The invention relates to a connector having a first contact carrier, in which contacts are arranged, which enter into electrical contact with mating contacts of a second contact carrier in the arrangement of the contact carrier, wherein the first contact carrier comprises first coding means, which cooperate with second coding means of the second contact carrier and ensure a defined with respect to the connection of contacts and mating contacts arrangement of the contact carrier to each other.
Ein gattungsgemäßer Steckverbinder ist beispielsweise aus
Bei Steckverbindern gemäß dem Rast 5- oder Rast 2.5-Standard handelt es sich um Steckverbinder, die sich insbesondere bei elektrischen Haus- und Küchengeräten, Heizungssteuerungen und systeminternen Verdrahtungslösungen der Automobilindustrie etabliert haben.Connectors according to the Rast 5 or Rast 2.5 standard are connectors that have become particularly established in electrical household and kitchen appliances, heating controls and intrinsic wiring solutions of the automotive industry.
Solche Steckverbinder umfassen gewöhnlich einen Stecker (zweiter Kontaktträger) und eine Steckbuchse (erster Kontaktträger) in jeweils in der Regel mehrpoliger Auslegung. Der Begriff "Stecker" bezieht sich dabei auf die Ausgestaltung des "männlichen" Kontaktteils, während die "Buchse" "weibliche" Kontaktteile aufweist. Da bei der überwiegenden Anzahl der am Markt eingesetzten RAST-Steckverbinder die Buchse dasjenige Teil ist, welches auf beispielsweise Kontaktabschnitte einer Leiterplatte oder auf eine Stiftleiste aufgesteckt wird, ist die Buchse nachfolgend als Steckbuchse bezeichnet. Folglich werden auch Leiterplatten, Stiftleisten od. dgl. im Sinne der Erfindung als Stecker bzw. Steckmittel angesehen.Such connectors usually comprise a plug (second contact carrier) and a socket (first contact carrier), each in a generally multi-pole design. The term "plug" refers to the design of the "male" contact part, while the "socket" has "female" contact parts. Since most of the RAST connectors used on the market, the socket is that part which is attached to, for example, contact portions of a printed circuit board or a pin header, the socket is hereinafter referred to as a socket. Consequently, printed circuit boards, pin headers od. Like. Considered in the context of the invention as a plug or plug-in means.
Um ein verpolsicheres Zusammensetzen von Steckmittel und Steckbuchse zu gewährleisten, weisen beide Teile Kodiermittel auf. Insbesondere für ein verpolsicheres Ansetzen an Leiterplatten sind die Kodiermittel selbiger als Leiterplattenausnehmungen bzw. Einschnitte im Kontaktbereich der Leiterplatte ausgebildet, die in ihrer Position, Länge und Stärke variieren. Zu jeder Kodierung eines Steckabschnittes einer Leiterplatte wird eine hierzu passende Steckbuchse gefertigt, deren Gehäuse mit den Ausschnitten korrespondierende Kodierwände ausbildet.In order to ensure a polarity-safe assembly of plug-in means and socket, both parts have coding. In particular, for a reverse polarity attachment to printed circuit boards, the coding means selbiger are formed as PCB recesses or cuts in the contact area of the circuit board, which vary in their position, length and thickness. For each coding of a plug-in portion of a printed circuit board, a mating socket is made for this purpose, the housing forms with the cutouts corresponding coding walls.
Ergänzend zu dieser Form der mechanischen Kodierung wird häufig auch eine farbige Kodierung genutzt. Am Steckmittel sind Farbmarkierungen angebracht, die sich in Form von Aufklebern, Farbbalken oder eingefärbten Steckbuchsengehäusen wiederfinden. Somit ist für die Montage kenntlich gemacht ist, dass entsprechend gekennzeichnete Steckbuchsen am Ort identischer Farbe auf das Steckmittel, z.B. die Leiterplatte, aufzusetzen sind. Dabei kann die Farbmarkierung als ergänzende optische, quasi redundante Kodierung zum unverwechselbaren Aneinandersetzen von Steckbuchse und Steckmittel ausgelegt sein oder aber dazu dienen, mechanisch identisch kodierte Steckbuchsen bzw. Steckmittel zur weiteren Unterscheidung zusätzlich zu kodieren.In addition to this form of mechanical coding often a colored coding is used. At the plug-in color markings are mounted, which can be found in the form of stickers, color bars or colored socket housings. Thus, it is made clear for the assembly that correspondingly marked sockets on the location of identical color on the plug means, e.g. the circuit board, are to be put on. In this case, the color marking can be designed as a complementary optical, quasi-redundant coding for unmatched fitting of socket and plug-in means or serve to mechanically coded identical sockets or plug-in means for further distinction in addition.
Die mechanische wie die farbliche Kodierung hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, da eine quasi fehlerfreie Montage - d.h. eine verpolsichere Montage von Steckmittel und Steckbuchse - gewährleistet ist. Mittlerweile wird jedoch die Fertigung derartiger Steckverbinder als verbesserungswürdig angesehen.The mechanical as well as the color coding has proven to be particularly advantageous, since a virtually error-free assembly - i. a reverse polarity safe installation of plug and socket - is guaranteed. Meanwhile, however, the production of such connectors is considered to be in need of improvement.
In der Fertigung werden jeweils Chargen mit einer bestimmten mechanischen und/oder farbigen Kodierung gefertigt, woraufhin dann Rüstzeiten an den Fertigungsanlagen für die Fertigung einer Charge mit anderer mechanischer und/oder farbiger Kodierung notwendig sind. Sofern die Farbkodierung mittels Aufklebern oder Farbbalken erfolgt, ist auch dies ein verbesserungswürdiger Arbeitsschritt.In the production of batches are each made with a specific mechanical and / or color coding, which then set-up times at the manufacturing facilities for the production of a batch with other mechanical and / or color coding are necessary. If the color coding is done by means of stickers or color bars, this too is an improvement step.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Fertigung von Steckverbindern mit insbesondere mechanischen Kodiermitteln zu vereinfachen.The object of the invention is to simplify the production of connectors with in particular mechanical coding.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe von einem Steckverbinder gemäß Anspruch 1, der sich insbesondere dadurch kennzeichnet, dass wenigstens ein Kontaktträger eine Aufnahme für ein als separates Bauteil ausgeführtes Kodiermittel aufweist.The object is achieved by a connector according to claim 1, which is characterized in particular by the fact that at least one contact carrier has a receptacle for an executed as a separate component coding.
Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass StandardKontaktträger sowie separat die mechanischem Kodiermittel gefertigt werden können, so dass die Rüstzeiten an den Produktionsanlagen entfallen. Je nach gewünschter mechanischer Kodierung wird aus einem Standardkontaktträger und separaten Kodiermitteln ein Kontaktträger mit entsprechender Kodierung zusammengesetzt.The essential advantage of the invention lies in the fact that standard contact carriers as well as separately the mechanical coding means can be manufactured so that the set-up times at the production plants are eliminated. Depending on the desired mechanical coding, a contact carrier with a corresponding coding is assembled from a standard contact carrier and separate coding means.
Für eine im Wesentlichen unlösbare Anordnung der Kodiermittel ist vorgesehen, dass diese im Kontaktträger verrastbar sind.For a substantially unsolvable arrangement of the coding means is provided that they can be latched in the contact carrier.
Die lagestabile Halterung lässt sich erreichen, indem der Kontaktträger Führungen aufweist, in die die Kodiermittel bereichsweise eingreifen.The storage-stable holder can be achieved by the contact carrier has guides in which the coding engage in areas.
Die Erfindung betrifft insbesondere einen Steckverbinder, dessen erster Kontaktträger ein Gehäuse einer Steckbuchse ist. Dieses ist vorteilhafterweise bodenseitig mit Rastmitteln zur Halterung des Kodiermittels versehen.The invention particularly relates to a connector whose first contact carrier is a housing of a socket. This is advantageously provided on the bottom side with locking means for holding the coding.
Es ist vorgesehen, dass das Kodiermittel für das Gehäuse als einschiebbare Kodierwand ausgebildet ist, wobei insbesondere das Steckbuchsengehäuse hierzu paarweise einander zugeordnete Nuten aufweist, in die Teilbereiche der in das Steckbuchsengehäuse eingeschobenen Kodierwand zwecks Lagestabilisierung eingreifen. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Kodierwand in Einschubrichtung Rastmittel zur Anordnung im Steckbuchsengehäuse aufweist.It is envisaged that the coding means for the housing is designed as a push-in coding wall, wherein in particular the socket housing for this pair has mutually associated grooves, engage in the sub-regions of the inserted into the socket housing coding wall for the purpose of position stabilization. It is advantageous if the coding wall in the insertion direction has latching means for arrangement in the socket housing.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Kodierwand bei seitlich offenem Steckbuchsengehäuse als Stirnwand einsetzbar.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the coding wall can be used as a front wall with the socket housing open at the side.
Da Steckbuchsen mit unterschiedlicher Tiefe bekannt sind, ist vorgesehen, dass die Kodierwand einen über eine Materialschwächungszone angesetzten Kürzungsabschnitt aufweist, um den die Kodierwand bei Einsatz in einem gegenüber seiner Länge weniger tiefen Gehäuse einkürzbar ist.Since sockets are known with different depths, it is provided that the coding wall has a set over a material weakening zone cut section, around which the coding wall can be shortened when used in a less deep compared to its length housing.
Für eine weitere oder alternative Festlegung der Kodierwand ist vorgesehen, dass die Kodierwand an seinen mit dem Gehäuse der Steckbuchse in Berührung stehenden Längsseiten Schultern aufweist, die mit buchsengehäuseseitigen Vorsprüngen eine Rastverbindung eingehen.For a further or alternative definition of the Kodierwand is provided that the Kodierwand has at its standing with the housing of the socket in contact longitudinal sides shoulders, which enter into a snap connection with bushing side projections.
Es ist daran gedacht, diese Form der Rastverbindung insbesondere bei als Stirnwand des Gehäuses eingesetzten Kodierwänden zu verwenden.It is intended to use this form of locking connection, in particular when used as the end wall of the housing Kodierwänden.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder handelt es sich bevorzugt um einen Steckverbinder nach dem Rast 5 bzw. Rast 2.5-Standard.The connector according to the invention is preferably a connector according to the catch 5 or Rast 2.5 standard.
Wenn das Kodiermittel farbig ausgestaltet ist, lässt sich die vorbeschriebene Farbkodierung mittels entsprechend eingefärbter Kodiermittel, insbesondere Kodierwänden vornehmen. So entfallen Rüstzeiten für die Produktion unterschiedlich farbiger Chargen von Kontaktträgern.If the coding means is designed in color, the above-described color coding can be carried out by means of appropriately colored coding means, in particular coding walls. This eliminates set-up times for the production of differently colored batches of contact carriers.
Wenn der erste Kontaktträger als Steckbuchsengehäuse ausgestaltet ist, so ist der zweite Kontaktträger ein Steckmittel, insbesondere ein Stecker oder eine Leiterplatte.If the first contact carrier is designed as a socket housing, then the second contact carrier is a plug-in means, in particular a plug or a printed circuit board.

Soweit nicht anders dargestellt, nimmt die folgende Zeichnungsbeschreibung jedoch Bezug auf Kodiermittel in Form von Kodierwänden 106 bzw. deren Pendant in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung erfindungsgemäßer Ausführungsbeispiele.Basically, the basic idea of the invention relates to any mechanical coding means known from the prior art, for example the
Bei der vergleichenden Betrachtung der Ausführungsform aus dem Stand der Technik gemäß
Bezug nehmend auf die
Das Gehäuse 10 der Steckbuchse umfasst einen aus Isolierstoff, insbesondere Kunststoff bestehenden Kontaktträger 11, welcher eine Stecköffnung 12 zur Aufnahme eines nicht dargestellten Steckmittels, beispielsweise eines Steckers, einer Stiftleiste oder eines Leiterplattenabschnitts dient. Wie im Stand der Technik gemäß
Im Mündungsbereich der Stecköffnung 12 bildet der Kontaktträger 11 des Gehäuses 10 außenumfänglich angeordnete, einstückig stoffschlüssige Kodieransätze 15 aus. Diese korrespondieren mit Ausnehmungen eines komplementären Steckmittelgehäuses und gewährleisten ein verpolsicheres Zusammensetzen von Steckbuchsen-und Steckmittelgehäuse.In the mouth region of the plug-in
Von besonderer Bedeutung sind die mit 17 bezeichneten Kodiermittel, welche in die Stecköffnung 12 hineingeschoben werden. Hierzu bilden die Kontaktlagerwände 26 innerhalb der Stecköffnung 12 zunächst paarweise aneinander gegenüber angeordnete Führungsnuten 19 aus. Diese sind in Einschubrichtung des nicht dargestellten Steckmittels orientiert und nehmen korrespondierende Wandabschnitte 20 der Kodierwände 18 zur Lagestabilisierung auf. Die Kodierwände 18 sind in Einschubrichtung mit Rastmitteln 21 versehen, die der Verankerung im Boden der Stecköffnung 22 dienen.Of particular importance are designated with 17 coding, which are pushed into the

Zusammenfassend wurde ein Kontaktträger 11 in Form eines Gehäuses 10 einer Steckbuchse dargestellt, welcher als Standardbauteil produziert werden kann und dessen Kodierung mit Kodiermitteln 17 in Form von Kodierwänden 18 im Nachhinein erfolgt. In der Produktion hat dies den entscheidenden Vorteil, dass wenige Standardbauteile ohne Rüstzeiten an den Produktionsanlagen durchgehend gefertigt werden können. Im Gegensatz dazu sind bei der Produktion gattungsgemäßer Steckverbinder im Stand der Technik für jede gewünschte Kodierung die Produktionsanlagen umzurüsten, da dort die innerhalb der Stecköffnung 12 angeordneten Kodierwände 18 einstückig stoffschlüssig mit dem Kontaktträger 11 ausgebildet sind.In summary, a
Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, die relativ einfach herzustellenden Kodierwände 18 einzufärben und durch das Einsetzen in ein Gehäuse 10 mit Standardfarbe auch eine Farbkodierung zu realisieren. Die Kodierwände 18 weisen lediglich ein geringes Volumen auf und sind daher auch in größeren Stückzahlen leicht vorhaltbar. Die aufwendigen Rüstzeiten an den Produktionsmaschinen zum Herstellen unterschiedlich eingefärbter Kontaktträger 11 bzw. Gehäuse 10 erübrigt sich. Der erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinder mit Kodiermitteln 17, die als separate Bauteile ausgeführt sind, erlaubt eine wesentlich rationellere Fertigung und Lagerhaltung.In addition, it is possible to color the relatively easy to produce
