Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem elektrischen Pressfit-Steckverbinder nach der Gattung des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention is based on an electrical Pressfit connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger elektrischer Pressfit-Steckverbinder ist beispielsweise durch die EP 0 901 188 A2 bekannt geworden.Such a pressfit electrical connector, for example, by the EP 0 901 188 A2 known.

In heutigen Steuergeräten in Leiterplattentechnik wird die elektrische Verbindung vom Kundenstecker zu der Leiterplatte mittels Pressfit-Steckverbindern hergestellt, deren Kontakte einenends als Kontaktstifte einer vorderseitigen Messerleiste zum Kontaktieren des Kundensteckers und anderenends als verformbare Einpress(Pressfit)-Stifte einer rückseitigen Messerleiste zum Einpressen in Hülsen oder metallisierte Bohrungen in der Leiterplatte ausgebildet sind. Durch das Einpressen entsteht eine gasdichte und elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen den Pressfit-Stiften und den Leiterplattenbohrungen. Bei den bekannten Pressfit-Steckverbindern sind die Pressfit- und Kontaktstifte der einzelnen Kontakte jeweils symmetrisch zur Mittellinie bzw. Mittelebene ihrer Kontakte. Dies hat zur Folge, dass durch den Kundenstecker nicht nur die Position der Kontaktstifte innerhalb des Pressfit-Steckverbinders vorgegeben werden, sondern auch die Positionen der metallisierten Bohrungen in der Leiterplatte.In today's control units in printed circuit board technology, the electrical connection from the customer plug to the printed circuit board is made by pressfit connectors, the contacts one end as pins of a front male connector for contacting the customer's plug and the other end as deformable pressfit (Pressfit) pins of a rear male connector for pressing in sleeves or metallized holes are formed in the circuit board. Pressing creates a gas-tight and electrically conductive connection between the Pressfit pins and the PCB holes. In the known Pressfit connectors, the pressfit and contact pins of the individual contacts are each symmetrical to the center line or center plane of their contacts. As a result, not only the position of the contact pins within the press fit connector are specified by the customer plug, but also the positions of the metallized holes in the circuit board.

Innerhalb einer Steuergerätefamilie müssen verschiedene Kundenstecker mit Unterschieden in Pinanzahl, Pinposition usw. dargestellt werden. Mit der Pinanzahl wächst auch die Breite des Pressfit-Steckverbinders. Bei Steuergeräten mit kompakten Gehäuseabmessungen kann der Kundenstecker größenbestimmend sein, d.h., die Breite des Pressfit-Steckverbinders kann kleiner sein als die Breite des Kundensteckers. Um alle Steckerkontakte des Kundensteckers zu kontaktieren, muss die Leiterplatte solcher Steuergeräte im Steckerbereich zum Einpressen eines entsprechend breiten Pressfit-Steckverbinders breiter ausgeführt werden. Diese Verbreiterung der Leiterplatte im Steckerbereich führt zu einem nicht nutzbaren Bereich der Leiterplatte, der bei der Leiterplattenherstellung weggefräst wird. Die damit verbundene nicht optimale Ausnutzung des Großsubstrats führt zu einer Erhöhung der Kosten pro Einzelnutzen.Within a family of ECUs, different customer plugs must be represented with differences in pin number, pin position, and so on. The number of pins also increases the width of the Pressfit connector. For controllers with compact package dimensions, the customer connector may be size-determining, that is, the width of the pressfit connector may be smaller than the width of the customer's connector. In order to contact all the plug contacts of the customer plug, the printed circuit board of such control units in the plug area must be made wider for pressing a correspondingly wide Pressfit connector. This broadening of the printed circuit board in the connector area leads to an unusable area of the printed circuit board, which is milled away during the production of the printed circuit board. The associated non-optimal utilization of the large substrate leads to an increase in the cost per single use.

Aus der US 5,240,422 A ist bereits ein elektrischer Pressfit-Steckverbinder bekannt. Aus dieser Druckschrift geht bereits ein Steckverbinder hervor, der eine ein- oder mehrreihige Messerleiste umfasst, wobei auf der Vorderseite des Steckverbinders Kontaktstifte zum Kontaktieren eines Gegensteckers und auf der Rückseite Pressfit-Stifte zum Einpressen in metallisierte Bohrungen in der Leiterplatte ausgebildet sind. Die Kontaktstifte und Pressfit-Stifte aller Kontakte einer Messerleiste sind dabei in Längsrichtung der Messerleisten gegenüber seinem zugehörigen Pressfit-Stift bzw. Kontaktstift seitlich versetzt angeordnet.From the US 5,240,422 A An electrical pressfit connector is already known. From this document, a connector is already out, which comprises a single or multi-row male connector, wherein on the front of the connector pins for contacting a mating connector and on the back Pressfit pins are formed for pressing into metallized holes in the circuit board. The pins and press-fit pins of all contacts of a male connector are arranged laterally offset in the longitudinal direction of the male connectors relative to its associated pressfit pin or contact pin.

Aus den EP 1 713 147 A1 und EP 1 643 597 A1 gehen ebenfalls bereits elektrische Steckverbinder hervor, bei denen abgewinkelte Kontaktstifte zum Einsatz kommen.From the EP 1 713 147 A1 and EP 1 643 597 A1 are also already electrical connectors out, in which angled contact pins are used.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, die Kontakt- und Pressfit-Stifte eines oder mehrerer außenliegender Kontakte des Pressfit-Steckverbinders zueinander seitlich versetzt anzuordnen, um so die gleiche nutzenoptimierte Leiterplattenkontur (schmale Leiterplatte ohne weggefrästen Teil) für schmale und breite Kundenstecker einsetzen zu können. Mit anderen Worten ist durch den erfindungsgemäßen Pressfit-Steckverbinder ein Adapter bereitgestellt, der beispielsweise eine breite Leiterplatte auf einen schmalen Kundenstecker oder eine schmale Leiterplatte auf einen breiten Kundenstecker abbilden kann, wodurch sich zusätzliche Freiheitsgrade bei der Leiterplattengeometrie ergeben. Somit lassen sich kleine und damit kostengünstige Leiterplatten auch in Steuergeräten mit breiten Kundensteckern einsetzen.According to the invention, the contact and Pressfit pins of one or more external contacts of the Pressfit connector to each other laterally offset order so as to use the same optimized PCB contour (narrow circuit board without weggefrästen part) for narrow and wide customer plug can. In other words, the adapter according to the invention provides an adapter which can, for example, map a wide printed circuit board onto a narrow customer plug or a narrow printed circuit board onto a broad customer plug, which results in additional degrees of freedom in the printed circuit board geometry. Thus, small and therefore inexpensive circuit boards can also be used in control units with broad customer plugs.

Unterscheiden sich die Kundenstecker beispielsweise nur in der Anzahl der Kontakte (identisches Rastermaß der Pins) und damit in der Breite, kann die steuergeräteinterne Schnittstelle zur Leiterplatte vereinheitlicht werden. Dadurch können Steuergeräte mit unterschiedlichen Kundensteckervarianten mit einem Leiterplattentyp aufgebaut werden. Dies verringert die Varianz in den Leiterplattenlayouts (geringerer Logistik- und Freigabeaufwand) und entkoppelt die Entwicklung neuer Steuergeräte-Gehäuse von der Layoutentwicklung.For example, if the customer plugs differ only in the number of contacts (identical pitch of the pins) and thus in width, the control unit's internal interface to the printed circuit board can be standardized. As a result, ECUs can be constructed with different customer plug variants with a printed circuit board type. This reduces the variance in the PCB layouts (reduced logistics and sharing overhead) and decouples the development of new ECU housings from layout design.

Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstands der Erfindung sind der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen entnehmbar.Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the subject invention are the description, the drawings and claims removed.

Ausführungsformen der ErfindungEmbodiments of the invention

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte elektrische Pressfit-Steckverbinder 1 wird mittels Einpresstechnik (Pressfit-Technik) auf einer Leiterplatte 2 befestigt.The in Fig. 1 shown electrical Pressfit connector 1 is fixed by means of press-fitting (Pressfit technique) on a printed circuit board 2 .

Der Pressfit-Steckverbinder 1 umfasst elektrische Kontakte 3, die in Bohrungen einer Kontaktträgerplatte 4 aus elektrisch isolierendem Material befestigt sind und zu beiden Seiten der Kontaktträgerplatte 4 vorstehen. Auf der einen Seite der Kontaktträgerplatte 4, nämlich auf der leiterplattenabgewandten Vorderseite 5 des Steckverbinders 1, sind die Kontakte 3 als parallele Kontaktstifte (Kontaktpins) 6 zum Kontaktieren eines Kunden- oder Gegensteckers ausgebildet und als Messerleiste 7 (Rastermaß A) angeordnet. Auf der anderen Seite der Kontaktträgerplatte 4, nämlich auf der leiterplattenzugewandten Rückseite 8 des Steckverbinders 1, sind die Kontakte 3 als parallele verformbare Pressfit-Stifte (Einpressstifte) 9 mit einem federnden Kern 10 zum Einpressen in metallisierte Bohrungen 11 in der Leiterplatte 2 ausgebildet und ebenfalls als Messerleiste 12 (Rastermaß A) angeordnet. Die beiden Messerleisten 7, 12 mit dem gleichen Rastermaß A sind parallel zueinander ausgerichtet und können ein- oder mehrreihig ausgeführt sein.The press fit connector 1 comprises electrical contacts 3 , which are fastened in bores of a contact carrier plate 4 made of electrically insulating material and protrude on both sides of the contact carrier plate 4. On the one side of the contact carrier plate 4, namely on the front side facing away from the printed circuit board 5 of the connector 1, the contacts 3 are designed as parallel contact pins (contact pins) 6 for contacting a customer or mating connector and arranged as a male connector 7 (grid A ). On the other side of the contact carrier plate 4, namely on the printed circuit board facing back 8 of the connector 1, the contacts 3 are formed as a parallel deformable Pressfit pins (press-fit) 9 with a resilient core 10 for pressing into metallized holes 11 in the circuit board 2 and also arranged as a male connector 12 (grid A). The two male connectors 7, 12 with the same pitch A are aligned parallel to each other and can be made single or multi-row.

Die äußersten linken und rechten Kontakte 3a, 3b des Steckverbinders 1 dienen aufgrund ihres gegenüber den übrigen Kontakten 3 größeren Querschnitts als Kontaktpins für hohe Ströme und werden als "Powerpin" bezeichnet. Der Durchmesser der Powerpins 3a, 3b kann insbesondere auch gleich oder größer dem Rastermaß A der übrigen Kontakte 3 sein und im Falle von mehrreihigen Messerleisten insbesondere auch gleich oder größer dem Reihenabstand der Kontaktreihen sein.The outermost left and right contacts 3a , 3b of the connector 1 are due to their compared to the other contacts 3 larger cross-section as contact pins for high currents and are referred to as "power pin". The diameter of the power pins 3a, 3b may in particular also be equal to or greater than the pitch A of the other contacts 3 and, in the case of multi-row blade strips, in particular also be equal to or greater than the row spacing of the rows of contacts.

Der Pressfit-Stift 9a des linken Powerpins 3a ist in Längsrichtung der Messerleisten 7, 12 in Richtung fort von dem rechten Powerpin 3b, also nach links, seitlich versetzt gegenüber seinem zugehörigen Kontaktstift 6a angeordnet. Genauer gesagt weist der linke Powerpin 3a zwischen seinem Pressfit-Stift 9a und seinem Kontaktstift 6a einen innerhalb der Kontaktträgeplatte 4 in Längsrichtung der Messerleisten 7, 12 verlaufenden mittleren Kontaktabschnitt 13 auf, gegenüber dem der Kontaktstift 6a und der Pressfit-Stift 9a jeweils um 90° abgewinkelt sind. Der kontaktfreie Abstand B zwischen dem seitlich versetzten Pressfit-Stifts 9a des linken Powerpins 3a und dem nicht-versetzten Pressfit-Stift 9 des nächstbenachbarten Kontakts 3 entspricht vorzugsweise einem ganzzahligen Vielfachen des Rastermaßes A der rückseitigen Messerleiste 12.The pressfit pin 9a of the left power pin 3a is arranged laterally offset relative to its associated contact pin 6a in the longitudinal direction of the male connectors 7, 12 in the direction away from the right power pin 3b, ie to the left. More precisely, the left power pin 3a between its pressfit pin 9a and its contact pin 6a has a center contact portion 13 extending inside the contact support plate 4 in the longitudinal direction of the blade strips 7, 12, with respect to which the contact pin 6a and the pressfit pin 9a are each 90 ° are angled. The contact-free distance B between the laterally offset press fit pin 9a of the left power pin 3a and the non-offset pressfit pin 9 of the next adjacent contact 3 preferably corresponds to an integer multiple of the grid dimension A of the rear male connector 12th

Mit dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Design der Leiterplatte 2 können durch unterschiedlich lange Kontaktabschnitte 13 des Powerpins 3a sowie durch eine seitlich versetzte Anordnung des Kontaktstiftes 6a des Powerpins 3a entweder nach rechts, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, oder nach links unterschiedlich breite Kundenstecker, also Kundenstecker mit einer unterschiedlichen Anzahl an Steckerkontakten, dargestellt werden. Die Anzahl der Signale ist in diesem Fall auf die Schnittmenge der Kontakte von Pressfit-Steckverbinder 1 und Kundenstecker begrenzt, d.h. dass für die Kombination eines breiten Steckverbinders mit einer schmalen Leiterplatte (Fig. 2) nicht alle Kontakte des Kundensteckers kontaktiert werden können, da im Bereich des kontaktfreien Abstands B keine Kontaktstifte vorhanden sind. Bei breiteren Leiterplatten 2 hat der in Fig. 1 seitlich nach innen versetzte Powerpin 3a den Vorteil, daß auch schmalere Kundenstecker mit weniger Steckerpins realisiert werden können, ohne die Leiterplatte 2 ändern zu müssen.With the in Fig. 1 shown design of the printed circuit board 2 can be achieved by differently long contact portions 13 of the power pin 3a and by a laterally offset arrangement of the contact pin 6a of the power pin 3a either to the right, as in Fig. 1 shown, or to the left different width customer plug, so customer plug with a different number of plug contacts are displayed. The number of signals in this case is limited to the intersection of the contacts of press fit connector 1 and customer plug, ie that for the combination of a wide connector with a narrow PCB ( Fig. 2 ) not all contacts of the customer plug can be contacted, as in the area of the contact-free distance B no pins are present. For wider printed circuit boards 2, the in Fig. 1 laterally inwardly offset power pin 3a has the advantage that even narrower customer plug can be realized with fewer connector pins, without having to change the circuit board 2.

Vom Pressfit-Steckverbinder der Fig. 1 unterscheidet sich der in Fig. 2 gezeigte Pressfit-Steckverbinder 1 lediglich dadurch, dass hier umgekehrt der Kontaktstift 6a des linken Powerpins 3a seitlich nach links versetzt zum Pressfit-Stift 9a angeordnet ist. Der kontaktfreie Abstand B zwischen dem seitlich versetzten Kontaktstift 6a des linken Powerpins 3a und dem nicht-versetzten Kontaktstift 6a des nächstbenachbarten Kontakts 3 entspricht vorzugsweise einem ganzzahligen Vielfachen des Rastermaßes A der vorderseitigen Messerleiste 7.From the pressfit connector of the Fig. 1 is different in the Fig. 2 shown pressfit connector 1 only in that here, conversely, the contact pin 6a of the left power pin 3a is arranged laterally offset to the left pressfit pin 9a. The contact-free distance B between the laterally offset contact pin 6a of the left power pin 3a and the non-offset contact pin 6a of the next adjacent contact 3 preferably corresponds to an integer multiple of the grid dimension A of the front male connector. 7

Da bei den in Fign. 1 und 2 gezeigten Pressfit-Steckverbindern 1 die zu überbrückenden Abstände B bei den Kombinationen

  • breite Leiterplatte 2 und schmale vorderseitige Messerleiste 7 (Fig. 1)
  • schmale Leiterplatte 2 und breite vorderseitige Messerleiste 7 (Fig. 2)
jeweils gleich sind, können für die abgewinkelten Powerpins 3a Gleichteile eingesetzt werden, was wiederum die Varianz an Mechanikteilen verringert.Since the in FIGS. 1 and 2 shown pressfit connectors 1 to be bridged distances B in the combinations
  • wide PCB 2 and narrow front male connector 7 ( Fig. 1 )
  • narrow PCB 2 and wide front male connector 7 ( Fig. 2 )
are the same, can be used for the angled power pins 3a common parts, which in turn reduces the variance of mechanical parts.

Bei den in den Fign. 1 und 2 gezeigten Pressfit-Steckverbindern 1 sind nur bei dem linken Powerpin 3a der Kontaktstift 6a und der Pressfit-Stift 9a gegeneinander seitlich versetzt angeordnet. Bei anderen nicht gezeigten Ausführungsformen sind zusätzlich auch bei dem rechten Powerpin 3b der Kontaktstift 6a und der Pressfit-Stift 9a gegeneinander seitlich versetzt angeordnet, wodurch der Steckverbinder 1 symmetrisch zu seiner Mittelebene ist und symmetrisch zur Leiterplatte 2 angeordnet werden kann.In the in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown pressfit connectors 1, the contact pin 6a and the pressfit pin 9a are offset laterally offset only in the left power pin 3a. In other embodiments, not shown, in addition to the right power pin 3b, the contact pin 6a and the pressfit pin 9a are laterally offset from each other, whereby the connector 1 is symmetrical to its center plane and can be arranged symmetrically to the circuit board 2.

Anders als bei den in den Fign. 1 und 2 gezeigten Pressfit-Steckverbindern 1, bei denen die beiden Messerleisten 7, 12 parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind, können die beiden Messerleisten 7, 12 auch unter einem Winkel von bevorzugt 90° gegeneinander abgewinkelt sein.Unlike the ones in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown pressfit connectors 1, in which the two male connectors 7, 12 are aligned parallel to each other, the two male connectors 7, 12 can be angled at an angle of preferably 90 ° to each other.
