Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem elektrischen Steckverbinder nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

Mittels elektrischer Steckverbindungen werden neben Sensoren und Aktuatoren auch Steuergeräte kontaktiert. Fast alle Steuergeräte sind empfindlich gegenüber Überspannungen oder ungünstige Kontaktierreihenfolgen, weil dadurch elektronische Bauelemente im Inneren beschädigt werden können. Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, wurden bei einigen Steuergeräten verlängerte Massepins eingeführt, um vorzeitig eine "Erdung" während des Steckvorgangs zu erreichen. Allerdings weisen diese bekannten verlängerten Massepins insbesondere folgende Nachteile auf:

  • Die Erstkontaktierung der verlängerten Massepins wird nicht über alle Toleranzlagen sicher dargestellt. Sie funktioniert zwar in zahlreichen Fällen, aber toleranzbedingt nicht immer, da die Massepins hierfür nicht lang genug sind.
  • Es sind am "male"-Stecker des Steuergeräts deutlich längere Pins erforderlich, die teurer und schwerer in der Toleranz herstellbar sind.
  • Die verlängerten Massepins sind bezüglich ihrer Position fest definiert. Bei einer anderen Steuergerätebeschaltung ist eine neue Schnittstelle mit den verlängerten Massepins an einer anderen Stelle erforderlich und zu definieren.
By means of electrical plug-in connections in addition to sensors and actuators and control devices are contacted. Almost all control units are sensitive to overvoltages or unfavorable contacting sequences, as this can damage electronic components inside. To remedy this situation, some ECUs have introduced extended ground pins to prematurely "ground" during plug-in. However, these known elongated Massepins in particular the following disadvantages:
  • The initial contacting of the extended ground pins is not shown safely across all tolerance levels. Although it works in numerous cases, but not always due to tolerances, since the Massepins are not long enough for this.
  • The "male" connector of the control unit requires significantly longer pins, which are more expensive and harder to produce in tolerance.
  • The extended ground pins are firmly defined with respect to their position. In another ECU circuit, a new interface with the extended ground pins at another location is required and defined.

Aus der EP 1 229 609 A1 ist ein elektrischer Steckverbinder bekannt, der dazu ausgelegt ist, Beschädigungen durch Überspannungs-Lichtbögen beim Kontaktieren zu vermeidenFrom the EP 1 229 609 A1 an electrical connector is known, which is designed to avoid damage by overvoltage arcs when contacting

Auch aus der WO 96/38885 ist ein solcher elektrischer Steckverbinder bekannt. In der DE 100 40 893 A1 wird ein weiterer elektrischer Steckverbinder offenbart, der zum Herstellen eines elektrischen Kontakts zwischen einem Batterieteil und einer elektrischen Vorrichtung dient.Also from the WO 96/38885 is such an electrical connector known. In the DE 100 40 893 A1 there is disclosed another electrical connector for making electrical contact between a battery part and an electrical device.

Demgegenüber besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, bei einem elektrischen Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art eine alternative Ausführungsform für die voreilende Kontaktierung eines Kontaktstifts des Gegensteckers anzugeben.In contrast, the object of the invention is to provide an alternative embodiment for the leading contact of a contact pin of the mating connector in an electrical connector of the type mentioned.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen elektrischen Steckverbinder mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1.The object is achieved by an electrical connector with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist im elektrischen Steckverbinder eine zusätzliche metallische Kontaktklemme als voreilender Kontakt dem eigentlichen Kontakt des elektrischen Steckverbinders vorgeordnet. Die metallische Kontaktklemme ist in eine dem Kontakt des elektrischen Steckverbinders vorgeordnete Einführöffnung des Steckverbindergehäuses eingesteckt und darin verrastet. Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass durch die am elektrischen Steckverbinder (z.B. Kabelbaumstecker) zusätzlich anzubringende, elektrisch leitende Kontaktklemme, welche den entsprechenden Kontakt im elektrischen Steckverbinder elektrisch kontaktiert, eine sichere voreilende Vor- bzw. Massekontaktierung mit Standardkontakten des elektrischen Steckverbinders und mit Standardpins des Gegensteckers (z.B. Steuergerätestecker) ermöglicht wird.According to the invention, an additional metallic contact terminal is arranged as a leading contact the actual contact of the electrical connector in the electrical connector. The metallic contact terminal is inserted into a contact of the electrical connector upstream insertion opening of the connector housing and locked therein. The main advantage of the invention is that by the electrical connector (eg harness connector) additionally to be mounted, electrically conductive contact terminal, which electrically contacts the corresponding contact in the electrical connector, a safe leading pre- or Massekontaktierung with standard contacts of the electrical connector and Standard pins of mating connector (eg control unit connector) is enabled.

Abhängig von der gewünschten Position und Anzahl der Vorkontaktierungen können eine oder mehrere zusätzliche Kontaktklemmen den jeweils gewünschten Kontakten des elektrischen Steckverbinders vorgeordnet werden, so dass jede Art der elektrischen Beschaltung (Pin-Belegung) ermöglicht wird. Für unterschiedliche Ausführungen können weiterhin immer die gleichen elektrischen Steckverbinder und Gegenstecker verwendet werden. Die erfindungsgemäße voreilende Kontaktierung mittels der vorgeordneten Kontaktklemme kommt ohne verlängerte Massepins aus, lässt Steckverbinder und Gegenstecker von Beschaltungsvarianten unberührt und ist in allen Toleranzlagen sichergestellt.Depending on the desired position and number of Vorkontaktierungen one or more additional contact terminals can be arranged upstream of the respective desired contacts of the electrical connector, so that any type of electrical wiring (pin assignment) is possible. For different versions, the same electrical connectors and mating connectors can always be used. The inventive leading contact by means of the upstream contact terminal comes without extended ground pins, leaves connector and mating connector of Beschaltungsvarianten untouched and is ensured in all tolerance positions.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte elektrische Steckverbinder (z.B. Kabelbaumstecker) 1 dient zum elektrischen Kontaktieren von gleich langen, parallelen metallischen Kontaktstiften 2 eines Gegensteckers (z.B. Steuergerätestecker) 3, der als Stiftleiste mit in einer Reihe angeordneten Kontaktstiften 2 ausgebildet sein kann.The in Fig. 1 shown electrical connector (eg harness connector) 1 is used for electrically contacting the same length, parallel metallic contact pins 2 of a mating connector (eg control device connector) 3, which may be formed as a pin header with arranged in a row pins 2.

Der Steckverbinder 1 weist in seinem Steckverbindergehäuse 4 für jeden Kontaktstift 2 des Gegensteckers 3 parallel zueinander angeordnete metallische Kontakte 5 (Fign. 2b, 2c) auf, die beispielsweise als Buchsenkontakte ausgebildet sein können. Die Gehäusevorderwand 6 des Steckverbindergehäuses 4 weist den Kontakten 5 jeweils vorgeordnete Einführöffnungen 7 in Form von Einführtrichtern auf, durch die die Kontaktstifte 2 des Gegensteckers 3 in das Steckverbindergehäuse 4 bis zur Kontaktierung der Kontakte 5 eingeführt werden können.The connector 1 has in its connector housing 4 for each pin 2 of the mating connector 3 mutually parallel metallic contacts 5 (FIG. FIGS. 2b, 2c ), which may be formed for example as a socket contacts. The housing front wall 6 of the connector housing 4 has the contacts 5 each upstream insertion 7 in the form of insertion funnels, through which the contact pins 2 of the mating connector 3 can be inserted into the connector housing 4 to contact the contacts 5.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist einem der Kontakte 5 eine separate metallische Kontaktklemme 10 vorgeordnet, die in die dem Kontakt 5 vorgeordnete Einführöffnung 7a eingesteckt und darin verrastet bzw. eingeclipst ist. Die eingeclipste Kontaktklemme 10 liegt an dem zugehörigen Kontakt 5 elektrisch leitend an und ist zum Durchstecken des Kontaktstifts 2 ausgebildet.In the exemplary embodiment shown, one of the contacts 5 is preceded by a separate metallic contact terminal 10 , which is inserted into the insertion opening 7a arranged upstream of the contact 5 and latched or clipped therein. The clip-in contact terminal 10 is electrically connected to the associated contact 5 and is designed for the insertion of the contact pin 2.

Wie in Fign. 2a-2c gezeigt, weist die Kontaktklemme 10 einen viereckigen Mittelabschnitt 11 auf, der eine viereckige Stecköffnung 12 für den im Querschnitt viereckigen Kontaktstift 2 ausbildet. An den Mittelabschnitt 11 schließen sich vorderseitig vier bezüglich der Stecköffnung 12 jeweils paarweise einander gegenüberliegende, nach außen abstehende Anlagearme 10a sowie rückseitig zwei bezüglich der Stecköffnung 12 einander gegenüberliegende, nach außen abgewinkelte Rastarme 10b und zwei bezüglich der Stecköffnung 12 einander gegenüberliegende, sich nach hinten erstreckende Kontaktarme 10c an. Die Rastarme 10b und die Kontaktarme 10c sind auf jeweils unterschiedlichen Seiten der Stecköffnung 12 vorgesehen. Die Kontaktklemme 10 wird mit ihren nach innen federnd ausgelenkten Rastarmen 10b und mit den Kontaktarmen 10c voran in die Einführöffnung 7a bis in ihre verrastete Position eingesteckt bzw. eingeclipst, in der die Anlagearme 10a vorderseitig und die Rastarme 10b rückseitig an der Gehäusevorderwand 6 anliegen und die Kontaktarme 10c zu beiden Seiten am Kontakt 5 elektrisch leitend anliegen. Die Kontaktklemme 10 kann beispielsweise einstückig aus einem Blechteil gebogen sein.As in FIGS. 2a-2c shown, the contact terminal 10 has a quadrangular central portion 11 which forms a square plug-in opening 12 for the quadrangular contact pin 2 in cross-section. On the central portion 11 close to the front four with respect to the insertion opening 12 in pairs opposite each other, outwardly projecting support arms 10a and the rear two with respect to the insertion opening 12 opposite each other, outwardly angled locking arms 10b and two with respect to the insertion opening 12 opposite each other, extending rearwardly Contact arms 10c on. The latching arms 10b and the contact arms 10c are provided on respective different sides of the plug-in opening 12. The contact terminal 10 is inserted with its inwardly resiliently deflected locking arms 10b and 10c with the contact arms ahead in the insertion opening 7a into its latched position or clipped, in which the contact arms 10a front and the latching arms 10b back against the housing front wall 6 and the Contact arms 10c on both sides of the contact 5 electrically conductive. The contact terminal 10 may for example be integrally bent from a sheet metal part.

Werden der Steckverbinder 1 und der Gegenstecker 3 ineinander gesteckt, so kontaktiert derjenige Kontaktstift 2a des Gegensteckers 3, der in die mit der Kontaktklemme 10 versehene Einführöffnung 7a eingeführt wird, über die Kontaktklemme 10 seinen zugehörigen Kontakt 5 immer sicher vor allen anderen Kontaktstiften 2, deren Einführöffnungen 7 nicht mit einer Kontaktklemme versehen sind. Der Kontaktstift 2a wird im Steckverbinder 1 somit gegenüber den anderen Kontaktstiften 2 voreilend kontaktiert.If the connector 1 and the mating connector 3 plugged into each other, so contacted the one contact pin 2a of the mating connector 3, which is inserted into the contact terminal 10 provided with the insertion opening 7a, via the contact terminal 10 its associated contact 5 always safe from all other pins 2 whose Einführöffnungen 7 not with a Contact terminal are provided. The contact pin 2a is thus contacted in the connector 1 with respect to the other pins 2 leading.

Abhängig von der gewünschten Position und Anzahl der Vorkontaktierungen können eine oder mehrere zusätzliche Kontaktklemmen 10 den jeweiligen Kontakten 5 des Steckverbinders 1 vorgeordnet werden, so dass jede Art der elektrischen Beschaltung (Pin-Belegung) ermöglicht wird. Für unterschiedliche Ausführungen können so immer die gleichen Steckverbinder 1 und Gegenstecker 3 verwendet werden.Depending on the desired position and number of Vorkontaktierungen one or more additional contact terminals 10 may be arranged upstream of the respective contacts 5 of the connector 1, so that any type of electrical wiring (pin assignment) is possible. For different versions so always the same connector 1 and mating connector 3 can be used.
