Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printed circuit board connector for parallel printed circuit boards, wherein the printed circuit board connector consists of a first connector part and a second connector part, wherein the first connector part has a first base, which is fixable on a first circuit board, and wherein the second connector part has a second base, which is fixable on a second circuit board, and wherein the first connector part has a first locking element and the second connector part has a second locking element.
  • Such a device is needed to electrically and mechanically connect two parallel aligned printed circuit boards, each fixed to a connector part, via the circuit board connector and to lock that connection.
  • the printed circuit board connector for locking parallel aligned printed circuit boards is known.
  • the printed circuit board connector consists of two connectors and has locking means for blocking vertical movement of its cover housing. Furthermore, the circuit board connector unlocking means for releasing a locking of the cover housing.
  • a drawback in the prior art is that there is no inexpensive manufacturable printed circuit board connector of the type mentioned, which is suitable for unlocking an existing lock between two parallel-aligned printed circuit boards in a simple manner.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object form a printed circuit board connector of the type mentioned in that it allows easy to be carried out unlocking the circuit boards and continue to produce inexpensive.
  • both locking elements each have at least one locking arm, that at least one Anformung each with a locking surface is provided at the end of each locking arm, and that in the locked state, the locking surfaces of the two locking elements are arranged interlocking.
  • Such a printed circuit board connector allows in a particularly comfortable way the locking and unlocking of two parallel circuit boards.
  • At least one of the two locking elements consists at least partially of an elastically deformable material.
  • the printed circuit board connector has an unlocking element which is provided for elastically deforming at least one of the two locking elements in order to separate the locking surfaces of the two locking elements from each other.
  • the unlocking element on the first connector part is movable at right angles to the first base surface and captively associated therewith, for example by the unlocking element has unlocking arms which are positively but movably guided through openings provided for this purpose of the first base.
  • An essential advantage achieved by the invention is that the respective locking element is elastically deformed only in the locking and unlocking, so is not deformed both in the locked and in the unlocked state and is therefore exposed over a longer period corresponding mechanical stresses. This has an advantageous effect on the life of the locking element according to the respective material.
  • Another advantage is that assembly and disassembly of the circuit boards take place without additional tools.
  • the locking process and the unlocking process are considerably simplified over the prior art.
  • the PCB connector is inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the locking surfaces of the locking elements are arranged almost parallel to the associated base surfaces is particularly advantageous.
  • the term "almost parallel” means that an angle between the plane of the locking surface and a plane parallel to the associated base surface is not more than 10 °, in particular not more than 5.degree ..
  • the almost parallel alignment of the locking surfaces ensures that On the one hand, the locking elements do not automatically unlock and, on the other hand, they can already be unlocked by means of force components which are small and parallel to the circuit board plane.
  • the unlocking element which is moved at right angles to the printed circuit board plane.
  • the unlocking element is U-shaped.
  • the second locking element consists of an elastically deformable material and is advantageously formed V-shaped. It is furthermore of particular advantage if the second locking element has engagement bevels on its projections, which are intended to cooperate with the unlocking element in the unlocking process.
  • the unlocking element presses the two locking arms of the second locking element together over these attack slopes.
  • the V-shape of the second locking element has a particularly advantageous effect, since its two locking arms move toward one another with only little elastic deformation and due to a corresponding lever action with relatively little expenditure of force.
  • the locking elements are located within the connector and thus protected against mechanical damage and against unintentional unlocking.
  • the unlocking element is advantageously designed as a user-friendly actuator, which passes through the first base surface and a first printed circuit board fixed thereto through corresponding openings and thus allows easy to be carried out unlocking of the two connector parts. In this way, an unlocking of the fixed to the two bases printed circuit boards from the outside, i. from the side facing away from the connector of the first circuit board, be performed by a simple pushing the unlocking into the connector.
  • the second locking element has a locking arm with two projections. With these projections, the second locking element is formed substantially T-shaped. This is advantageous because the holding forces thereby run parallel to its locking arm.
  • the first locking element is made an elastically deformable material, is formed substantially U-shaped and the associated projections are inwardly, ie directed towards each other to lock with the projections of the second locking element.
  • the projections of the first locking element on attack slopes which are on the one hand intended to cooperate with the second locking element in the locking operation. On the other hand, these attack slopes are also intended to cooperate with the unlocking in the unlocking process as follows: In the locked state, the unlocking engages around the first locking element.
  • the locking arms of the second locking element are thereby pulled apart.
  • the locking surfaces of the two locking elements are separated from each other and the two connector parts are unlocked from each other.
  • the direction of movement of the unlocking coincides in the process of unlocking with the direction of movement of the first connector part in the separation of the second connector part. This greatly improves the handiness of operation, since the direction of movement of the unlocking and the direction of movement of the separation of the connector parts are identical and thus no opposing force components occur.
  • the Fig. 1 b represents the locked printed circuit board connector in a three-dimensional view from the outside.
