Definitions
- US 6,530,810 B2 has disclosed an electrical plug-type connector in the form of a data jack, said plug-type connector having a housing and a connecting device positioned in the housing.
- the housing is formed by a plurality of sections, inter alia by a front housing section, into which a data plug can be inserted so as to make contact with the connecting device, and by a rear housing section, via which a data cable can be led up to the connecting device positioned in the housing.
- the connecting device of the electrical plug-type connector known from US 6,530,810 B2 has a printed circuit board and contact springs. If a data plug is inserted, with its contacts, into the data jack, contact is made between the contacts of the data plug, via the contact springs of the connecting device, and conductors provided by the printed circuit board.
- the contact springs are anchored fixedly, via first sections thereof, in the printed circuit board and thus permanent contact is made between said contact springs and the conductors of the printed circuit board.
- Contact can be made between the contact springs, via second, elastically deformable sections thereof, and contacts of a data plug which is intended to be received in contact-making fashion by the data jack.
- free ends of the contact springs, which adjoin the second sections thereof, bear against a contact holder of the housing when there is no data plug in the data jack, with the result that said contact springs are therefore subjected to a prestress and thus to mechanical loading even when there is no data plug in the data jack.
- an electrical plug-type connector namely a data jack for receiving, in contact-making fashion, at least one data plug, in which the risk of damage to the contact springs is reduced.
- US 6 769 937 B1 discloses an electrical plug-type connector in accordance with the preamble of Claim 1.
- the present disclosure is based on the object of providing a novel electrical plug-type connector.
- the risk of damage to the contact springs of the data jack during insertion of a data plug into said data jack can be reduced.
- this is achieved by virtue of the fact that the inner contact springs are free of load when there is no data plug in the data jack, with the result that stresses in the respective contact spring during insertion of a data plug into the data jack are reduced.
- the present disclosure relates to an electrical plug-type connector, namely a data jack for receiving, in contact-making fashion, at least one data plug.
- an electrical plug-type connector has a housing, a connecting device being positioned in the housing.
- the connecting device is used for making contact between contacts of a data plug which has been inserted into the data jack and electrical conductors or line paths of the data jack or data conductors of a data cable, with which contact is likewise made using the connecting device of the data jack.
- the connecting device of the electrical plug-type connector has a printed circuit board 10 (see Figure 1 ) and contact springs 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.
- the printed circuit board 10 provides electrical conductors, permanent contact being made between the contact springs 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, via first sections 19 in the form of bent-back contact eyelets, and the conductors of the printed circuit board 10. Via these first sections 19 in the form of contact eyelets, the contact springs 11 to 18 are anchored in the printed circuit board 10 in order thus to ensure that permanent contact is made between the contact springs 11 to 18 and the conductors of the printed circuit board 10.
- contact can be made between said contact springs, and thus the connecting device, and contacts of a data plug to be inserted into or accommodated by the data jack in order thus to ensure that detachable contact is made between the contacts of the data plug, via the contact springs 11 to 18, and the conductors of the printed circuit board 10.
- FIG. 2 which shows the contact springs 11 to 18 of the connecting device but not the printed circuit board 10
- the contact springs 11 to 18 cross over one another in a region between the second section 20 and the first section 19 thereof, without coming into touching contact, i.e. the contact springs 11 and 12, the contact springs 17 and 18 and the contact springs 14 and 15, as shown in Figure 2 .
- the contact springs 13 and 16, on the other hand, are guided such that they do not cross over any other contact springs.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a so-called contact holder 21 of the housing of the electrical plug-type connector, said contact holder being used firstly to receive and guide the contact springs 11 to 18 and secondly to receive the printed circuit board 10.
- a data plug can be inserted into a front section 22 of the contact holder 11, namely whilst making contact between the contacts of the data plug and the second sections 20 of the contact springs 11 to 18.
- a rear section 23 of the contact holder 21 is used for receiving insulation displacement contacts (not shown in Figures 1 and 2 ), with permanent contact likewise being made between said insulation displacement contacts and the conductors of the printed circuit board 10, and it likewise being possible for said insulation displacement contacts to be connected to the data conductors of a data cable.
- Figures 1 and 2 show merely cutouts 24 in the region of the section 23 of the contact holder 21 which are used for receiving the insulation displacement contacts, which for their part are used for making contact between the printed circuit board and the data conductors of a data cable.
- At least some contact springs of the contact springs 11 to 18 are free of any load when there is no data plug in the data jack.
- the contact springs which are free of load when there is no data plug in the data jack are at least all inner or central contact springs 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, with respect to the free ends 25 thereof.
- load-free contact springs are characterized by the fact that free ends 25 of the respective load-free contact springs which adjoin the respective second section 20 thereof do not bear either against the contact holder 21 of the housing or against the printed circuit board 10 (see Figure 3 ), but these ends 25 are instead located freely in space when there is no data plug in the data jack. It thus follows directly from Figure 3 that the shown end 25 of the load-free contact springs shown is located freely in space without coming into touching contact with the contact holder 21 and the printed circuit board 10.
- Such a load-free contact spring is completely free of load and therefore free of stress when there is no data plug in the data jack, with the result that, when contact is made between a data plug 26 ( Figure 4 ) and the data jack or the contact springs 11 to 18 thereof, reduced stresses occur in the contact springs, with the result that a risk of damage to the contact springs during insertion of a data plug into the data jack is reduced.
- All inner and central contact springs 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, with respect to their free ends 25, are free of any load, specifically when there is no data plug in the data jack.
- the second, elastically deformable section 20 of the contact springs 11 to 18 has two subsections 27 and 28. As can best be seen from Figure 3 , these two subsections 27 and 28 are inclined differently with respect to a horizontal H, which runs parallel to an insertion direction E of the data plug 26 into the electrical plug-type connector, the first section 27, which adjoins the respective free end 25 of the respective contact spring, being inclined through an angle ⁇ 1 with respect to the horizontal H, and the second section 28 of the respective contact spring, said section adjoining the first section 27, being inclined through an angle ⁇ 2 with respect to the horizontal H.
- the angle of inclination ⁇ 1 of the first section 27 is greater than the angle of inclination ⁇ 2 of the second section 28 with respect to the horizontal H, the two subsections 27 and 28 enclosing an angle ⁇ of between 35° and 45° in the load-free state (shown in Figure 3 ) of the respective contact spring.
- the angle ⁇ 1 through which the first subsection 27 of the second section 20 of the respective contact spring is inclined with respect to the horizontal H or insertion direction E of the data plug 26, is between 62.5° and 67.5°.
- the angle ⁇ 2 is between 22.5° and 27.5°.
- the second section 28 with the relatively small angle of inclination ⁇ 2 with respect to the horizontal H or the insertion direction E is used for making contact between the respective contact spring and the contacts of the data plug 26.
- the contact springs 11 to 18 have a portion of thickened material 29 adjacent to the first section 19, which is used for anchoring the respective contact spring in the printed circuit board 10.
- the width of the respective contact spring is increased sectionally in a section 30 which is positioned between the first section 19 and the second section 20 of the respective contact spring.
- the strength of the contact spring is increased, so that said contact spring can absorb greater forces. This also reduces the risk of the contact springs being damaged when a data plug is inserted into the data jack.
