Abstract

The plug connector illustrated here is in the form of a round plug connector and, on its connection side, is intended to make contact with printed circuit boards. In order to transmit a plurality of independent, differential signals, electrical contacts (30), which are accordingly arranged in pairs, are arranged in the plug connector (1, 2), wherein the invention proposes that each of the, in this case four, signal pairs be arranged, such that they are insulated from one another by a cruciform structure, within a round body (40) which surrounds the structure. To this end, an electrically conductive cruciform shield (10) is provided, this cruciform shield being surrounded by a likewise cruciform contact support (20), accommodation grooves (23) for holding the electrical contacts (30) being provided in the obliquely formed inner edges (22) of said contact support.

Beschreibung description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder zur differenziellen Signal- und Datenübertragung, wobei mehrere elektrische Kontakte jeweils paarweise in einem Segment einer kreuzförmigen Steckerstruktur angeordnet sind.  The invention relates to a connector for differential signal and data transmission, wherein a plurality of electrical contacts are each arranged in pairs in a segment of a cross-shaped connector structure.
Ein derartiger Steckverbinder wird benötigt, um eine bestmögliche Übertragung von Signalen über mehrfach twinaxiale Kabelverbindungen zu gewährleisten. Stand der Technik Such a connector is required to ensure the best possible transmission of signals over multiple twin axial cable connections. State of the art
Steckverbinder bei denen vier Adernpaare zur Signalübertragung vorgesehen sind nahezu als Stand der Technik anzusehen, auch wenn diverse Schutzschriften dem entgegenstehen.  Connectors in which four pairs of wires are provided for signal transmission to be regarded as almost state of the art, even if various protection writers oppose that.
So ist in der EP 0 755 100 B1 bereits ein„Kontaktsatz für Kabel mit verdrill- ten, einzeln abgeschirmten Leitungspaaren" beschrieben, bei dem vier Thus, EP 0 755 100 B1 already describes a "contact set for cables with twisted, individually shielded cable pairs" in which four
Adernpaare jeweils in paarweisen Kontakthaltern jeweils an den Außenseiten eines quadratischen Steckerkörpers angeordnet sind. Wire pairs are arranged in pairs in each contact holders on the outer sides of a square plug body.

Diese Steckverbindertypen sind eindeutig für eine Kabelverbindung ausgelegt. Mittlerweile sind aber dezentrale Peripheriegeräte für die Netzwerktechnik speziell für das Ethernet entwickelt worden, bei denen auch externe Rundsteckverbinder gesteckt werden müssen, so dass auch in einem de- zentralen Verteiler Rundsteckverbinder möglichst aufwendungsarm auf einer oder mehreren Leiterplatten innerhalb eines abschirmenden Gehäuses angeordnet sind. Furthermore, EP 0 809 331 B1 shows a multi-pole plug system in which in each case a pair of wires are accommodated in a separate guide body, wherein the guide bodies are formed by a cross-shaped structure, consisting of a vertical and a horizontal partition wall. These connector types are clearly designed for a cable connection. In the meantime, distributed peripheral devices for network technology have been specially developed for Ethernet, in which external circular connectors must also be plugged, so that even in a decentralized distributor circular connectors are arranged as little as possible on one or more printed circuit boards within a shielding housing.

P210-40 WO.doc The invention relates to a circular connector which accommodates four differentially formed signal lines in four separate chambers for optimum shielding of the four differential signal lines.
Dabei ist vorteilhaft eine kreuzförmige Längsstruktur des Rundsteckverbinders vorgesehen, in deren jeweiligen Segmenten jeweils eine differenzielle Signalleitung - also je zwei Einzelleiter - eingebracht sind. In this case, a cross-shaped longitudinal structure of the circular connector is advantageously provided, in each of whose segments a differential signal line - ie two individual conductors - are introduced.
Dazu ist ein Kontaktträger vorgesehen, bestehend aus einem isolierenden Material, als Träger für elektrische Kontakte vorgesehen und das Schirm- kreuz umfassend, in der Form, dass der Kontaktträger direkt um das Schirmkreuz herum aufgespritzt wird, auf das Schirmkreuz aufschiebbar oder mehrteilig darauf verrastbar ist. For this purpose, a contact carrier is provided, consisting of an insulating material, provided as a support for electrical contacts and comprising the screen cross, in the form that the contact carrier is sprayed directly around the screen cross, slidable on the screen cross or multi-part can be latched thereto.

Die elektrischen Kontakte sind als Drahtkontakte ausgebildet und werden in Längsrillen jeweils in entsprechenden Rillen in den vier Segmenten des Kontaktträgers eingerastet, so dass der darüber geschobene Rundkörper die Kontakte sicher aufnimmt. The electrical contacts are formed as wire contacts and are engaged in longitudinal grooves respectively in corresponding grooves in the four segments of the contact carrier, so that the over-pushed round body securely receives the contacts.
Dabei sind die elektrischen Kontakte wahlweise als Stift- wie auch als Buchsenkontakt ausgebildet.  The electrical contacts are optionally designed as a pin as well as a socket contact.

In erster Linie ist vorgesehen, dass der Steckverbinder zunächst keine weite- re abschirmende Außenhülle aufweist, da die Endmontage zusammen mit der Leiterkarte zumindest innerhalb eines alle Bauteile umfassenden, abschirmenden Gehäuses erfolgt. First and foremost, it is provided that the plug connector initially has no further shielding outer shell, since the final assembly together with the printed circuit board takes place at least within a shielding housing comprising all components.
