Definitions
- the invention relates to amaschineticiansstecker according to the preamble of claim 1 and a Greeticians- connection according to claim 14.
- a known contacting connection comprising a contacting plug and a contacting plug receptacle is described in DE 10 2005 063 239 A1.
- the known contacting connection is distinguished by the fact that the contact forces applied by the contact elements on a printed circuit board are independent of clamping forces with which the clamping claws carrying the contact elements and designed as contact carriers rest against the printed circuit board.
- the clamping jaws are designed so that they are aligned parallel to the printed circuit board at a nominal size of the circuit board. In other words, the contact surfaces formed on the clamping jaws are aligned parallel to the printed circuit board for contact with the contact carrier.
- the known Kunststoffmaschinecker has proven itself.
- the invention has for its object to further develop the known Kunststoffssensstecker to the effect that even with a maximum dimension of the contact carrier a flat support of the clamping jaws is ensured on the contact carrier. Furthermore, the object is to propose a contacting connection comprising a correspondingly improved contacting plug.
- the invention is based on the idea of providing means for automatic parallelization of the clamping claws with the surface sides of the contact carrier in order to ensure that the clamping jaws, preferably with corresponding contact surfaces, rest flat on the contact carrier, not on individual edges, even in the event of that the con- has a maximum size (maximum thickness).
- a mechanism is associated with the clamping claws, which allows the clamping jaws to be pivoted not only relative to a fixed axis, but additionally allows a relative movement, which is preferably oriented perpendicular to the insertion direction, of the clamping jaws relative to each other, that a flat contact of the contact surfaces of the clamping claws on the contact carrier is independent of manufacturing tolerances in the thickness extension of the contact carrier.
- the clamping claws for enabling the clamping claws with the contact carrier parallelizing movement relative to each other along a translational, in particular imposed on a guide track guideway are adjustable.
- the guide slot is part of later to be explained pivot joints, with which the clamping jaws are preferably connected to each other.
- the clamping claws are formed as separate components that over at least one hinge, preferably via two transverse to the insertion direction spaced pivot joints, are hinged together.
- the separate design of the clamping jaws thereby allows a simplified production as a plastic injection molded part.
- the at least one rotary joint is designed in such a way that it permits an adjustment movement of the clamping claws relative to one another perpendicular to a pivot axis, or such that the pivot axis can be displaced in parallel.
- a previously mentioned guide slot is integrated in the rotary joint, which predetermines a direction of movement oriented perpendicular to the pivot axis.
- the guide slot can be formed, for example, as a slot joint part, in which a, preferably end-spherical part, hinge part of the respective other clamping claw engages positively.
- the rotary joint in the manner of hinges in waffle iron is formed and allows a moving away from each other two end portions of the clamping jaws, while the other two end sides of the clamping jaws, here spring force assisted, are moved towards each other.
- the at least one rotary joint is designed with a further degree of freedom compared to known rotary joints.
- the swivel joint is formed from two joint sections which are arranged distributed on the clamping claws, wherein the joint sections are produced integrally with the associated clamping claw, for example by injection molding.
- one of the articulated sections is particularly preferred to design one of the articulated sections as a slot, which has a relative allow the clamping jaws in the area of the pivot joint away from each other.
- clamping claws are identical parts, which additionally facilitates the production.
- An embodiment of the contact plug is particularly preferred, in which the at least one contact surface provided on the contact holder is adapted to the immediate, i. direct support on the contact carrier is designed and arranged such that it is supported on at least one conductor track and / or on at least one land of the contact carrier in order to compensate for thickness tolerances of the conductor tracks or land optimally.
- the contact surface is therefore not in an area adjacent to the conductor tracks and / or land on the contact carrier, but directly on at least one conductor track and / or at least one country.
- the contact surface between two receiving trenches arranged for each one of the contact elements and is preferably designed such that it is supported at the same time on two adjacent to the plug-in conductor tracks or Lands.
- the Kunststoff musclessstecker is self-sufficient in view of the size of the clamping force with which, preferably designed as a contact holder, clamping claws on the contact carrier, in particular a printed circuit board.
- the clamping force applied to the clamping claws is force of Kunststoffssenssteckers, at least approximately, preferably completely, regardless of the shape of the Kunststofftechnikssteckeraufnähme. This is preferably achieved in that, in the final assembly state of a contact connection equipped with the contacting plug, that is to say when the contacting plug is received in the contacting plug receptacle, the spring means are no longer supported on the contacting plug receptacle as in the prior art in order to generate the clamping force. finally on the contacting plug.
- the spring means thus act exclusively on the contacting plug, preferably at a distance from the pivots, such that the clamping claws, of which at least one is designed as at least one contact element carrying a resilient contact element, endeavor to move towards each other.
- the spring means which are supported exclusively for generating the clamping force exclusively on the contacting plug, preferably exclusively on the clamping claws, counteract an opening movement of the clamping claws forced during the insertion process. Since the clamping force in a contact plug designed as described above is no longer dependent on a change in shape or relaxation of the contacting plug receptacle, falling below a minimum required clamping force is advantageously avoided.
- the structure can be simplified due to the special design and arrangement.
- the clamping force can be generated without the provision of a Kunststoffssenssteckeraufnähme, so that can be dispensed with from case to case to provide such a receptacle.
- the spring means are designed and arranged such that the clamping force generated by the spring means and the contact force generated by the at least one resilient contact element lie in a plane of action.
- the force arrows of the aforementioned forces are in a plane in a force arrow model. This can be achieved, for example, in that the spring means are arranged directly outside contact points at which the contact elements rest on the contact carrier, in particular on land or conductor tracks of a printed circuit board.
- the contacting plug is designed to cooperate with at least one counter-insertion element that is exciting when springing the contact-making plug.
- the Gegeneinsteckelement is preferably part of a Kunststofftechnikssteckeraufnähme mentioned above and is when inserting the Kunststofftechnikssteckers in a corresponding
- the spring means are formed circumferentially closed, ie one, preferably rectangular contoured ring bil- the surrounding the clamping jaws, preferably in the transverse direction to the longitudinal extent.
- the spring means surround the clamping jaws in full and act upon them with a spring force towards each other.
- the spring means comprise at least two, preferably exclusively two, preferably identical, in particular wire spring elements, connected to one another, preferably positively connected with each other, wherein an embodiment with a spring means designed as a helical or spiral spring is also possible , which preferably loads the clamping claws on train.
- the use of spring means made of an elastomeric material is possible.
- the invention also leads to a Kunststofftechnischs für with a Kunststofftechniksstecker described above, which is inserted into a Kunststofftechnischssteckeraufnähme, which is assigned to a contact carrier, in particular a printed circuit board, and preferably fixed to this. It is particularly preferred if the Mais réellesstecker rests with at least one contact surface directly on at least one conductor or a country, preferably simultaneously on two conductors or two Lands or a conductor track and a land of the contact carrier to compensate for manufacturing tolerances of the conductor or Lands can.
