Description

Steckverbinder-Buchse für die Daten- und Koπuαunikationstechnik Connector socket for data and communication technology
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbinder-Buchse für die Daten- und Kommunikationstechnik gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connector socket for data and communication technology according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
In der Daten- und Kommunikationstechnik werden Steckverbinder- Buchsen als Schnittstelle eingesetzt, wobei diese Buchsen heute in der Regel standardisierte RJ-Buchsen sind. Diese Buchsen werden häufig direkt auf eine Leiterplatte gelötet, um eine kostengünstige Verschaltung zu ermöglichen. Ist die Buchse in Folge eines häufigen Steckens einem starken Verschleiß ausgesetzt", so ist das Austauschen der Buchse aufwändig. Ein weiteres Problem ergibt sich bei dem Einsatz in rauer Industrieum- gebung, z. B. in Verbindung mit Industrial Ethernet, wenn die Buchsen mit einem zusätzlichen Schutzgehäuse versehen werden. Da die Positionierung der Buchsen in dem Schutzgehäuse sehr präzise erfolgen muss, kann es zu Toleranzproblemen kommen, wenn die Buchse direkt mit der Leiterplatte für die Elektronik verbunden ist.In data and communication technology, connector sockets are used as an interface, whereby these sockets are today generally standardized RJ sockets. These jacks are often soldered directly to a printed circuit board to allow a cost-effective interconnection. If the socket "exposed as a result of frequent plugging severe wear, so that replacement of the bushing is expensive. A further problem arises for example when used in harsh industrial environments, e.g., in connection with industrial Ethernet, when the jacks Since the positioning of the sockets in the protective housing must be very precise, tolerance problems can arise if the socket is connected directly to the printed circuit board for the electronics.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steckverbinder- Buchse für die Daten- und Kommunikationstechnik zur Verfügung zu stellen, die Positionstoleranzen zwischen der positioniert in eine Gerätewand eingebauten Buchse und einer Geräte- Leiterplatte, mit welcher diese Buchse verbunden ist, ausgleichen kann und ein einfaches Austauschen der Buchse ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a connector socket for the data and communication available, the position tolerances between the positioned in a device wall built-in jack and a device circuit board, with which this socket is connected, can compensate and a simple Replacing the socket allows.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Steck- verbinder-Buchse mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a plug connector socket having the features of patent claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Mit dem Begriff „Steckverbinder-Buchse" oder kurz „Buchse" werden im Rahmen der Erfindung alle Buchsen von Steckverbinder-Systemen bezeichnet, die in der Daten- und Kommunikations- technik als trennbare Schnittstellen verwendet werden. Als aktuelle Ausführung sind dies insbesondere RJ-Buchsen, z. B. RJ45-Buchsen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. In the context of the invention, the term "plug connector socket" or "socket" for short refers to all sockets of plug connector systems which are used as separable interfaces in data and communication technology. As current version, these are in particular RJ sockets, z. B. RJ45 sockets.
Unter „Geräten", in deren Gerätewand die Steckverbinder-Buchse positionierbar ist und mit deren Geräte-Leiterplatte die Buchse elektrisch leitend verbunden wird, werden im Rahmen der Erfindung alle Einrichtungen verstanden, an welche über die Steckverbinder-Buchse ein Daten- oder Kommunikationskabel anschließbar ist. Solche Geräte können Sende- und Empfangsgeräte sein und ebenso Anschlussdosen oder dergleichen.Under "devices", in the device wall, the connector socket is positioned and connected to the device board the socket electrically conductive, are understood in the context of the invention, all devices to which a data or communication cable can be connected via the connector socket Such devices may be transmitting and receiving devices and also junction boxes or the like.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Steckverbinder-Buchse in einem Buchsengehäuse angeordnet und an eine ebenfalls in diesem Buchsengehäuse angeordnete Leiterplatte angeschlossen. Die Leiter- platte weist an ihrem von der Buchse abgewandten Rand Leiterplatten-Randsteckerkontakte auf und wird mit diesen Randsteckerkontakten in eine Leiterplatten-Randsteckerbuchse der Geräte-Leiterplatte eingesteckt. Die Buchse ist somit über die Leiterplatte und die Randsteckerverbindung unmittelbar mit der Geräte-Leiterplatte elektrisch verbunden und verschaltet. Die steckbare Randsteckerverbindung zwischen der Leiterplatte und Geräte- Leiterplatte erlaubt dabei ein einfaches Austauschen der Buchse, da keine feste Lötverbindung zwischen der Buchse und der Geräte-Leiterplatte vorhanden ist. Außerdem weist die Randsteckerverbindung zwischen der Leiterplatte der Buchse und der Geräte-Leiterplatte eine mechanische Positionstoleranz in der Einsteckrichtung dieser Randsteckerverbindung auf, wodurch sich Positionstoleranzen zwischen der Einbauposition der Buchse und der Einbauposition der Geräte-Leiterplatte ausgleichen lassen. Auch geringe Positionstoleranzen in den zur Einsteckrichtung senkrechten Achsen können ausgeglichen werden.According to the connector socket is arranged in a socket housing and connected to a likewise arranged in this socket housing circuit board. The printed circuit board has at its edge facing away from the socket PCB edge plug contacts and is plugged with these edge plug contacts in a PCB edge connector socket of the device circuit board. The socket is thus electrically connected via the circuit board and the edge connector directly to the device circuit board and interconnected. The pluggable Randsteckerverbindung between the circuit board and device PCB allows easy replacement of the socket, since no fixed solder joint between the socket and the device circuit board is present. In addition, the edge plug connection between the printed circuit board of the socket and the device circuit board has a mechanical positional tolerance in the insertion direction of this edge connector, whereby can compensate for positional tolerances between the installation position of the socket and the installation position of the device circuit board. Even small positional tolerances in the axes perpendicular to the plug-in direction can be compensated.
Vorteilhaft ist es, dass auf der Leiterplatte der Buchse auch noch zusätzliche elektronische Komponenten zur Verschaltung der Buchse angeordnet werden können. Bspw. können Filter und/oder Transformatoren auf der Leiterplatte angeordnet wer- den, wie sie z. B. zur Anpassung der Schnittstelle für Ethernet benötigt werden.It is advantageous that additional electronic components for interconnecting the socket can also be arranged on the printed circuit board of the socket. For example. For example, filters and / or transformers can be arranged on the printed circuit board, as described, for example, in US Pat. B. to adapt the interface for Ethernet needed.

Das Vorderteil besteht vorzugsweise aus Metall, insbesondere aus Zinkdruckguss. Der Isolationskörper nimmt die Buchsenkontakte auf. Das metallische Vorderteil und ein den Isolationskörper umschließender Schirmblech-Mantel bilden eine Schirmung der gesamten Buchse. Das metallische Vorderteil be- günstigt dabei eine genaue Montage der Buchse in einem Schutzgehäuse, wie dies für den Einsatz in Industrieumgebung gefordert wird.In an advantageous embodiment, the socket housing has a front part and an insulating body adjoining it. The front part is preferably made of metal, in particular die-cast zinc. The insulating body takes on the socket contacts. The metallic front part and the insulating body surrounding shroud jacket form a shield of the entire socket. The metallic front part facilitates precise mounting of the socket in a protective housing, as required for use in industrial environments.

In Fig. 1 ist in einer Explosionsdarstellung eine typische Einbausituation einer erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder-Buchse gezeigt. Die Buchse ist dabei in ein Gerät eingebaut, von wel- ehern in Fig. 1 nur ein Ausschnitt der Gerätewand 10 gezeigt ist. In dem Gerät ist eine Geräte-Leiterplatte 12 z. B. parallel zur Gerätewand 10 eingebaut. Die Steckverbinder-Buchse wird einerseits in einem Durchbruch der Gerätewand 10 positio- niert und andererseits elektrisch leitend mit der Geräte- Leiterplatte 12 verbunden. Die Steckverbinder-Buchse 14 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als RJ-Buchse ausgebildet.In Fig. 1 a typical installation situation of a connector socket according to the invention is shown in an exploded view. The socket is in this case installed in a device, of which in FIG. 1 only a section of the device wall 10 is shown. In the device is a device circuit board 12 z. B. installed parallel to the device wall 10. The connector socket is positioned on the one hand in a breakthrough of the device wall 10 positio- nier and on the other hand electrically connected to the device circuit board 12. The connector socket 14 is formed in the illustrated embodiment as an RJ socket.
Um die Buchse 14 in einer rauen Industrieumgebung einsetzen zu können, ist in dem Wanddurchbruch der Gerätewand 10 in an sich bekannter Weise ein Schutzgehäuse 16 eingesetzt, welches durch eine Dichtung 18 gegen die Gerätewand 10 abgedichtet ist und durch eine Mutter 20 mit der Gerätewand 10 verschraubt ist. Die Steckverbinder-Buchse 14 wird im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel vom Geräteinneren in das Schutzgehäuse 16 eingesetzt und dort positionsgenau fixiert. Auch ein Einschieben von außen denkbar. Das Schutzgehäuse 16 dient zum Aufstecken eines Steckergehäuses, welches den in die Steckverbinder- Buchse 14 einzusteckenden Steckverbinder-Stecker umschließt. Da das Steckergehäuse passgenau und abgedichtet auf das Schutzgehäuse 16 aufgesteckt wird, ist eine exakte Positionierung der Buchse 14 in dem Schutzgehäuse 16 notwendig.In order to use the socket 14 in a harsh industrial environment, a protective housing 16 is inserted in the wall opening of the device wall 10 in a conventional manner, which is sealed by a seal 18 against the device wall 10 and screwed by a nut 20 with the device wall 10 is. The connector socket 14 is inserted in the illustrated embodiment of the device interior in the protective housing 16 and fixed there exact position. Also an insertion from the outside conceivable. The protective housing 16 is used for attaching a connector housing, which encloses the plug-in connector 14 to be inserted in the connector plug connector. Since the plug housing is fitted accurately and sealed onto the protective housing 16, an exact positioning of the socket 14 in the protective housing 16 is necessary.
Die exakte Positionierung der Buchse 14 in dem Schutzgehäuse 16 und damit in der Gerätewand 10 hat zur Folge, dass sich Maßtoleranzen beim Einbau der Geräte-Leiterplatte 12 in Bezug auf die Gerätewand 10 auf das Anschließen der Buchse 14 an die Geräte-Leiterplatte 12 auswirken. Diese Positionstoleranzen werden erfindungsgemäß dadurch ausgeglichen, dass die Steckverbinder-Buchse 14 in einem Buchsengehäuse 22 angeordnet ist und an eine Leiterplatte 24 angeschlossen ist, die ebenfalls lagefest in dem Buchsengehäuse 22 angeordnet ist. Die Leiterplatte 24 ragt an dem von der Buchse 14 abgewandten Ende aus dem Buchsengehäuse 22. An dem aus dem Buchsengehäuse 22 ragenden, der Buchse 14 entgegengesetzten freien Rand der Leiterplatte 24 sind Leiterplatten-Randsteckerkontakte 26 ausgebildet. Mit diesen Leiterplatten-Randsteckerkontakten 26 wird die Leiterplatte 24 in eine Leiterplatten-Randsteckerbuchse 28 eingesteckt, die an der Geräte-Leiterplatte 12 angeordnet ist. Die Einsteckrichtung der Leiterplatte 24 mit ihren Randsteckerkontakten 26 in die Randsteckerbuchse 28 stimmt dabei mit der Steckrichtung der Steckverbinder-Buchse 14 überein. Die Kontaktlänge der Randsteckerkontakte 26 und der Randsteckerbuchse 28 in der Einsteckrichtung lässt eine Toleranz in dem Einsteckweg der Leiterplatte 24 in die Randsteckerbuchse 28 zu und somit eine Abstandstoleranz zwischen der in dem Schutzge- häuse 16 und der Gerätewand 10 festgelegten Steckverbinder- Buchse 14 und der in dem Gerät eingebauten Geräte-Leiterplatte 12. Auch in den zu der Einsteckrichtung senkrechten Achsen, d. h. in der Ebene der Geräte-Leiterplatte 12, können geringe Einbautoleranzen ausgeglichen werden.The exact positioning of the socket 14 in the protective housing 16 and thus in the device wall 10 has the consequence that dimensional tolerances affect the installation of the device circuit board 12 with respect to the device wall 10 on the connection of the socket 14 to the device circuit board 12. These position tolerances are compensated according to the invention in that the connector socket 14 is arranged in a socket housing 22 and is connected to a printed circuit board 24, which is also arranged fixed in position in the socket housing 22. The printed circuit board 24 protrudes from the socket housing 22 at the end facing away from the socket 14. At the free edge of the printed circuit board 24 protruding from the socket housing 22, opposite the socket 14, printed circuit board edge plug contacts 26 are formed. With these PCB edge plug contacts 26 is the Printed circuit board 24 is inserted into a printed circuit board edge connector socket 28 which is arranged on the device circuit board 12. The plug-in direction of the printed circuit board 24 with its edge plug contacts 26 in the edge connector socket 28 coincides with the plug-in direction of the connector socket 14. The contact length of the edge plug contacts 26 and the edge socket 28 in the plug allows for a tolerance in the insertion of the circuit board 24 in the edge connector 28 and thus a distance tolerance between the housing 16 fixed in the protective housing 16 and the connector socket 14 and the in Even in the direction perpendicular to the insertion axis, ie in the plane of the device circuit board 12, low installation tolerances can be compensated.
Der Aufbau des Buchsengehäuses 22 wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 2 bis 4 erläutert.The structure of the female housing 22 will be explained below with reference to FIGS 2 to 4.
Das Buchsengehäuse 22 weist ein Vorderteil 30 auf, welches vorzugsweise aus Metall und insbesondere aus Zinkdruckguss besteht. Das Vorderteil 30 bildet den Aufnahmeraum für den in die Steckverbinder-Buchse 14 einzusteckenden Steckverbinder- Stecker. Aufgrund des metallischen Werkstoffes bildet das Vorderteil 30 auch eine Schirmung der Steckverbindung. Außen an den Seitenwänden des Vorderteils 30 sind Rastnuten 32 eingeformt, die zum Befestigen des Vorderteils 30 und damit des gesamten Buchsengehäuses 22 in dem Schutzgehäuse 16 dienen.The socket housing 22 has a front part 30, which preferably consists of metal and in particular of zinc die casting. The front part 30 forms the receiving space for the male connector 14 to be inserted into the connector plug. Due to the metallic material, the front part 30 also forms a shield of the connector. Outside on the side walls of the front part 30 locking grooves 32 are formed, which serve for securing the front part 30 and thus the entire female housing 22 in the protective housing 16.
An das Vorderteil 30 schließt sich ein Isolationskörper 34 aus Kunststoff an. Der Isolationskörper 34 wird von hinten an das Vorderteil 30 angesetzt und verschließt mit seiner vorderen Stirnwand die Rückseite des Vorderteils 30. Eine über diese vordere Stirnwand vorspringende Bodenplatte des Isolationskör- pers 34 bildet den Boden des Aufnahmeraumes des Vorderteiles 30. In der Stirnwand und der Bodenplatte des Isolationskörpers 34 sind Führungsschlitze 36 ausgebildet, die zur Aufnahme der Buchsenkontakte 38 dienen. Die Buchsenkontakte 38 sind in der für RJ-Buchsen bekannten Weise angeordnet und federnd ausgebildet. Die Buchsenkontakte 38 greifen durch die Führungsschlitze 36 in den Aufnahmeraum der Buchse und sind durch den Isolationskörper 34 isoliert.The front part 30 is followed by an insulating body 34 made of plastic. The insulating body 34 is attached from behind to the front part 30 and closes with its front end wall, the back of the front part 30. A projecting over this front end wall bottom plate of the insulating body pers 34 forms the bottom of the receiving space of the front part 30. In the end wall and the bottom plate of the insulating body 34 guide slots 36 are formed, which serve to receive the socket contacts 38. The socket contacts 38 are arranged in the manner known for RJ sockets and resilient. The socket contacts 38 engage through the guide slots 36 in the receiving space of the socket and are insulated by the insulating body 34.
In den Isolationskörper 34 wird von hinten die Leiterplatte 24 eingesetzt und bodenseitig in dem Isolationskörper 34 fixiert. Die Leiterplatte 24 trägt an ihrem vorderen in den Isolationskörper 34 eingesetzten Rand die Buchsenkontakte 38. Über Leiterbahnen der Leiterplatte 24 sind die Buchsenkontakte 38 mit den Randsteckerkontakten 26 verschaltet, die am entgegengesetzten hinteren Rand der Leiterplatte 24 angeordnet sind. Da die Leiterplatte 24 parallel zum Boden des Isolationskörpers 34 liegt, verläuft die Steckrichtung der Buchse 14 mit den Buchsenkontakten 38 in derselben Richtung wie die Steckrich- tung der Randsteckerkontakte 26.In the insulating body 34, the circuit board 24 is inserted from the rear and fixed to the bottom side in the insulating body 34. The printed circuit board 24 carries on its front edge inserted into the insulating body 34, the female contacts 38. Via printed conductors of the printed circuit board 24, the female contacts 38 are connected to the edge connector contacts 26, which are arranged on the opposite rear edge of the printed circuit board 24. Since the printed circuit board 24 lies parallel to the bottom of the insulating body 34, the plugging direction of the socket 14 with the socket contacts 38 runs in the same direction as the plug-in direction of the edge plug contacts 26.
Der Isolationskörper 34 wird von einem Schirmblech-Mantel 40 umschlossen. Der Schirmblech-Mantel 40 liegt an den vier Seitenflächen des Isolationskörpers 34 an und verschließt die von der Buchse 14 abgewandte Rückfläche des Isolationskörpers 34 bis auf einen Eintrittsschlitz für die Leiterplatte 24. In dem Boden 42 des Isolationskörpers 34 ist in dem Bereich, in welchem die Leiterplatte 24 an den Boden 42 angrenzt, eine Öffnung 44 ausgespart, durch welche eine aus dem Schirmblech- Mantel 40 nach innen gebogene Kontaktfeder 46 hindurchgreift, um eine entsprechende Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte 24 zu kontaktieren. Gegebenenfalls kann die Kontaktfeder 46 mit dieser Leiterbahn verlötet werden. An der Oberseite und an der Unter- seite greift der Schirmblech-Mantel 40 über den Isolationskörper 34 hinaus und über das Vorderteil 30. Mit nach innen abgewinkelten Ecken 48 der oberen Vorderkante und mit einem nach innen abgewinkelten Rand 50 der unteren Vorderkante greift der Schirmblech-Mantel 40 vor die Stirnfläche des Vorderteils 30, wodurch der Schirmblech-Mantel 40 das Vorderteil 30 und den Isolationskörper 34 in der montierten Stellung zusammenhält und aneinander fixiert. An den Seitenwänden des Schirmblech- Mantels 40 sind nach vorn gerichtete Federzungen 52 ausgebil- det, die nach innen abgekröpft sind und durch Schlitze derThe insulating body 34 is enclosed by a shroud jacket 40. The shroud jacket 40 abuts the four side surfaces of the insulating body 34 and closes the rear surface of the insulating body 34 facing away from the socket 14 except for an entry slot for the printed circuit board 24. In the bottom 42 of the insulating body 34 is in the area in which the Circuit board 24 adjacent to the bottom 42, an opening 44 recessed, through which a from the shroud coat 40 inwardly bent contact spring 46 engages to contact a corresponding conductor track of the circuit board 24. Optionally, the contact spring 46 can be soldered to this conductor. At the top and at the bottom side engages the shroud jacket 40 on the insulating body 34 and on the front part 30. With inwardly angled corners 48 of the upper front edge and with an inwardly angled edge 50 of the lower front edge of the shroud coat 40 engages in front of the end face of the front part 30th whereby the shroud jacket 40 holds the front part 30 and the insulation body 34 together in the mounted position and fixes them together. On the side walls of the shroud jacket 40 forwardly directed spring tongues 52 are formed, which are bent inwardly and through slots of the
Stirnwand des Isolationskörpers 34 hindurch in den Aufnahmeraum der Buchse 14 greifen. Die Federzungen 52 kontaktieren die Schirmung eines in die Buchse 14 eingesteckten Steckers. Weiter sind an den seitlichen Rändern der nach vorne ragenden Unterseite des Schirmblechmantels 40 Kontaktfedern 56 ausgebildet, die in Nuten des Vorderteils 30 liegen und über dessen Außenfläche ausgewölbt sind, um gegebenenfalls ein metallisches Schutzgehäuse oder dergleichen zu Kontaktieren.End wall of the insulating body 34 pass into the receiving space of the socket 14. The spring tongues 52 contact the shield of a plugged into the socket 14 connector. Further, 40 contact springs 56 are formed on the lateral edges of the forwardly projecting underside of the shroud shell, which lie in grooves of the front part 30 and are arched over the outer surface, to optionally contact a metallic protective housing or the like.
Wird das Buchsengehäuse 22 mit der Leiterplatte 24 und deren Randsteckerkontakten 26 in die Randsteckerbuchse 28 der Geräte-Leiterplatte 12 eingesteckt, wie dies in Figur 1 gezeigt ist, so wird der Schirmblech-Mantel 40 des Buchsengehäuses 22 durch ein Schirmblech 54 kontaktiert, welches auf der Geräte- Leiterplatte 12 angeordnet ist und die Randsteckerbuchse 28 der Leiterplatte 12 umschließt. In Figur 1 ist eine Seitenfläche dieses Schirmbleches 54 weggenommen, um die Randsteckerverbindung sichtbar zu machen.If the female housing 22 is plugged into the edge connector socket 28 of the device circuit board 12 with the circuit board 24 and its edge connector contacts 26, as shown in Figure 1, the shroud jacket 40 of the female housing 22 is contacted by a shield plate 54 which on the Device circuit board 12 is arranged and the edge connector socket 28 of the circuit board 12 encloses. In Figure 1, a side surface of this shielding plate 54 is removed to make the edge connector connection visible.
Die Steckverbindung zwischen der Buchse 14 und einem in diese eingesteckten Stecker ist somit durch das Vorderteil 30 und den Schirmblech-Mantel 40 vollständig abgeschirmt. Dabei wird die Schirmung des eingesteckten Steckers insbesondere über die Federzungen 52 an den Schirmblech-Mantel 40 übergeben. Die Schirmung wird außerdem über die Kontaktfeder 46 an die Leiterplatte 24 übergeben wird.The connector between the socket 14 and a plugged into this plug is thus completely shielded by the front part 30 and the shroud jacket 40. In this case, the shielding of the inserted plug in particular on the Passing spring tongues 52 to the shroud jacket 40. The shield is also passed over the contact spring 46 to the circuit board 24.
Die Montage des Buchsengehäuses 22 wird anhand der Figuren 5 bis 8 näher erläutert.The assembly of the female housing 22 will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS 5 to 8.
Figur 5 zeigt in einer Einzeldarstellung die Leiterplatte 24. Es ist zu erkennen, dass in dieser Ausführung die federnden Buchsenkontakte 38 in einem als Spritzgussteil hergestelltenFIG. 5 shows the printed circuit board 24 in a detail view. It can be seen that in this embodiment the resilient socket contacts 38 are manufactured in an injection-molded part
Trägerelement 58 eingebettet sind, wodurch ihre exakte Positionierung erleichtert wird. Das Trägerelement 58 wird an die vordere Stirnkante der Leiterplatte 24 angesetzt, um die Buchsenkontakte 38 mit den Leiterbahnen der Leiterplatte 24 zu verbinden und zu verlöten. Weiter ist in Figur 5 gezeigt, dass auf der Leiterplatte 24 noch weitere elektronische Schaltungsbauteile 60 angeordnet und verschaltet werden können. Diese können bspw. Übertrager, Kondensatoren, Widerstände und dergleichen sein, die dann vorzugsweise ebenfalls in dem Isolati- onskörper 34 aufgenommen und durch den Schirmblech-Mantel 40 abgeschirmt werden. Solche elektronische Komponenten dienen bspw. zur Anpassung der Schnittstelle an die Übertragungsstrecke des Datennetzes.Carrier element 58 are embedded, whereby their exact positioning is facilitated. The support member 58 is attached to the front end edge of the circuit board 24 to connect the socket contacts 38 with the tracks of the circuit board 24 and to solder. Furthermore, it is shown in FIG. 5 that further electronic circuit components 60 can be arranged and interconnected on the printed circuit board 24. These can be, for example, transformers, capacitors, resistors and the like, which are then preferably likewise accommodated in the insulation body 34 and shielded by the shroud jacket 40. Such electronic components are used, for example, to adapt the interface to the transmission path of the data network.
Figur 6 zeigt in einer Einzeldarstellung den Isolationskörper 34. Der Isolationskörper 34 ist als einstückiges Kunststoff- Spritzgussteil hergestellt. Der Boden 42 ist im rückwärtigen Bereich nach unten wegschwenkbar, wozu der Boden 42 mit dem übrigen Isolationskörper 34 über ein Filmscharnier 62 verbun- den ist. Der Isolationskörper 34 wird im Spritzgussverfahren mit rechtwinklig nach unten weggeschwenktem Boden 42 hergestellt. Diese Anordnung des Bodens 42 ermöglicht eine hinter- schneidungsfreie Gestaltung der Spritzgusswerkzeuge. Der Boden 42 bleibt bei der Montage zunächst in der nach unten abgeschwenkten Stellung, wie dies in Figur 7 gezeigt ist. In dieser Stellung wird die Leiterplatte 24 eingesetzt, wobei das Trägerelement 58 in eine unter den Führungsschlitzen 36 und vor dem Filmscharnier 62 in dem Isolationskörper 34 ausgeformte Bodentasche 72 eingeschoben wird und die Leiterplatte 24 in Nuten 66 geführt wird, die innen an den Seitenwänden des Isolationskörpers 34 ausgeformt sind. Dabei treten die Buchsen- kontakte 38 durch die Führungsschlitze 36, wie dies in Figur 8 gezeigt ist. Anschließend wird der Boden 42 hochgeschwenkt, sodass er sich von unten an die Leiterplatte 24 anlegt. Der Boden 42 weist an seinen beiden freien hinteren Ecken jeweils nach oben gerichtete Eckvorsprünge 64 auf, die an der Leiter- platte 24 ausgebildete Ecken umgreifen, sodass die Leiterplatte 24 gegen Verschiebungen in ihrer Ebene fixiert ist. In den Nuten 66 wird die Leiterplatte 24 in dem Isolationskörper 34 auch gegen Bewegungen senkrecht zur Ebene der Leiterplatte fixiert. In dieser angeschwenkten Stellung wird der Boden 42 in dem Isolationskörper 34 verrastet. Hierzu dienen seitlich an den Boden 42 angeformte federnde Rastnasen 68, die in seitliche Aussparungen der Leiterplatte 24 eingreifen und jeweils hinter Rastkanten 70 einrasten, die innen an den Seitenwänden des Isolationskörper 34 angeformt sind. Durch den eingeraste- ten Boden 42 wird die Leiterplatte 24 exakt positioniert und lagefest in dem Isolationskörper 34 und damit in dem Buchsengehäuse 22 gehalten. Damit ergibt sich eine exakte lagegenaue Ausrichtung der Steckverbinder-Buchse 14 bezüglich der am Ende der Leiterplatte 24 angeordneten Randsteckerkontakte 26. BezugszeichenlisteFIG. 6 shows a detailed view of the insulating body 34. The insulating body 34 is produced as a one-piece plastic injection-molded part. The bottom 42 can be swiveled downwards in the rear region, for which purpose the bottom 42 is connected to the remaining insulation body 34 via a film hinge 62. Insulating body 34 is produced by injection molding with base 42 pivoted downwards at right angles. This arrangement of the bottom 42 enables an undercut-free design of the injection molding tools. The bottom 42 remains during assembly initially in the downwardly pivoted position, as shown in Figure 7. In this position, the circuit board 24 is used, wherein the support member 58 is inserted into a molded under the guide slots 36 and in front of the film hinge 62 in the insulating body 34 bottom pocket 72 and the circuit board 24 is guided in grooves 66, the inside of the side walls of the insulating body 34 are formed. In this case, the socket contacts 38 pass through the guide slots 36, as shown in FIG. Subsequently, the bottom 42 is pivoted up, so that it applies from below to the circuit board 24. The bottom 42 has at its two free rear corners each upwardly directed corner projections 64 which engage around the printed circuit board 24 formed corners, so that the circuit board 24 is fixed against displacement in its plane. In the grooves 66, the circuit board 24 is fixed in the insulating body 34 against movement perpendicular to the plane of the circuit board. In this pivoted position, the bottom 42 is locked in the insulating body 34. For this purpose serve laterally to the bottom 42 molded resilient locking lugs 68 which engage in lateral recesses of the circuit board 24 and engage behind latching edges 70 which are integrally formed on the side walls of the insulating body 34. By means of the latched-in bottom 42, the printed circuit board 24 is positioned precisely and held securely in position in the insulating body 34 and thus in the socket housing 22. This results in an exact positional alignment of the connector socket 14 with respect to the arranged at the end of the circuit board 24 edge plug contacts 26. Reference Sign
