Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Kontaktanordnung zur elektrischen Direktkontaktierung einer Gegenkontaktfläche auf einer Leiterplatte, nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a contact arrangement for the direct electrical contact of a mating contact surface on a printed circuit board, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Steuergeräte bestehen meist aus einer Leiterplatte, auf der elektronische Bauelemente platziert sind, und einem Gehäuse. In Motorsteuergeräten wird auf die Leiterplatte üblicherweise eine Messerleiste montiert, um die elektrische Verbindung zwischen einem Kabelbaumstecker und der Leiterplatte herzustellen. Die Messerleiste stellt somit ein zusätzliches Bauteil bei der Montage des Steuergerätes dar.Control devices usually consist of a printed circuit board on which electronic components are placed, and a housing. In motor control devices, a male connector is usually mounted on the circuit board to make the electrical connection between a harness connector and the circuit board. The male connector thus represents an additional component in the assembly of the control unit.

Es sind auch so genannte elektrische Direktkontaktierungen bekannt, bei denen die Messerleiste entfällt und die einzelnen Pole des Kabelbaumes direkt auf der Leiterplatte kontaktiert werden. Dazu sind auf der Leiterplatte elektrische Kontaktflächen ("Lands") vorgesehen, die durch Kontaktelemente kontaktiert werden, welche in ein Kontaktgehäuse des Kabelbaumsteckers eingesteckt sind und daher auch als Direktsteckkontakte bezeichnet werden. Meist werden die Kontaktflächen von nach innen, d.h. in Normalkraftrichtung, federnden Kontaktlamellen der Kontaktelemente kontaktiert. Aus der Kontur der Kontaktelemente herausragende Vorsprünge dienen zur Verrastung oder Verriegelung der Kontaktelemente innerhalb eines Kontaktgehäuses, behindern allerdings beim Bestückvorgang beispielsweise den Durchtritt des Kontaktelementes durch eine zur Abdichtung vorgesehene Gummimattendichtung.There are also known as direct electrical contacts, in which the male connector is omitted and the individual poles of the wiring harness are contacted directly on the circuit board. For this purpose, electrical contact surfaces ("lands") are provided on the circuit board, which are contacted by contact elements which are inserted into a contact housing of the harness connector and are therefore also referred to as direct plug contacts. Most of the contact surfaces are contacted by inwardly, ie in the normal force direction, resilient contact blades of the contact elements. From the contour of the contact elements protruding projections are used for locking or locking the contact elements within a contact housing, but hinder the placement process, for example, the passage of the contact element by a provided for sealing rubber mattress seal.

Demgegenüber besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, bei einer gattungsgemäßen Kontaktanordnung eine sichere Verrastung bzw. Verriegelung der Kontaktelemente im Kontaktgehäuse auch ohne aus der Kontur der Kontaktelemente herausragende Vorsprünge zu ermöglichen.In contrast, the object of the invention is to allow in a generic contact arrangement a secure locking or locking of the contact elements in the contact housing without protruding from the contour of the contact elements protrusions.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Kontaktanordnung zur elektrischen Direktkontaktierung mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by a contact arrangement for direct electrical contact with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Kontaktelement zwei Durchgangsöffnungen auf, um das eingesteckte Kontaktelement entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung in der Kammer des Kontaktgehäuses zu verrasten und darin zu verriegeln. Neben dem Herausziehen des eingesteckten Kontaktelements aus der Kammer kann im Falle einer zur Leiterplatte hin offenen Kontaktkammer auch das Herausfallen des Kontaktelements verhindert werden. Die Verrastung und die Verrieglung mittels der Durchgangsöffnung ist als Primärverriegelung mit einem in die Durchgangsöffnung eingreifenden Rasthaken und als Sekundärverriegelung mit einem durch alle Durchgangsöffnungen der nebeneinander liegenden Kontaktelemente durchgeführten Verriegelungsstab ausgeführt. Wenn das Kontaktelement zwei Durchgangsöffnungen aufweist, wird das Kontaktelement mittels der einen Durchgangsöffnung primärverrastet und mittels der anderen Durchgangsöffnung sekundärverriegelt.According to the invention, the contact element has two passage openings in order to lock the inserted contact element against the loading direction in the chamber of the contact housing and to lock therein. In addition to the withdrawal of the inserted contact element from the chamber, the falling out of the contact element can be prevented in the case of a printed circuit board open towards the contact chamber. The latching and locking by means of the passage opening is designed as a primary locking with a latching hook engaging in the passage opening and as a secondary locking with a locking bar carried out through all passage openings of the juxtaposed contact elements. If the contact element has two passage openings, the contact element is primarily latched by means of the one passage opening and secondarily locked by means of the other passage opening.

Da das erfindungsgemäße Kontaktelement somit keine aus seiner Kontur hervorragenden Rastvorsprünge aufweist, wird beispielsweise beim Bestückvorgang der Durchtritt des Kontaktelementes durch eine zur Abdichtung vorgesehene Gummimattendichtung nicht behindert.Since the contact element according to the invention thus does not have outstanding locking projections from its contour, the passage of the contact element through a rubber mat seal intended for sealing, for example, is not obstructed during the placement process.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Die in Fig. 1a und 1b gezeigte Kontaktanordnung 1 umfasst ein Kontaktgehäuse 2 (z.B. eines Kabelbaumsteckers) mit mehreren parallel nebeneinander angeordneten Kontaktkammern 3 sowie mehrere Kontaktelemente 4, die jeweils über eine Kammeröffnung 5 in die Kontaktkammern 3 in Bestückungsrichtung 6 einsteckbar sind. Die Kontaktelemente 4, die auch als Direktsteckkontakte bezeichnet werden, dienen zur elektrischen Direktkontaktierung einer Gegenkontaktfläche (nicht gezeigt), insbesondere einer Kontaktfläche ("Land") auf einer Leiterplatte. Eine Kammerwand 7 der Kontaktkammern 3 ist jeweils mit einer entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 in Richtung auf die Kammeröffnung 5 hin vorstehenden Verrastungslanze 8 ausgebildet, die mit einem Rasthaken 8a in die Kontaktkammer 3 hineinragt.In the Fig. 1a and 1b Contact arrangement 1 shown comprises a contact housing 2 (for example, a harness connector) with a plurality of parallel adjacent contact chambers 3 and a plurality of contact elements 4 , which are each inserted via a chamber opening 5 in the contact chambers 3 in the loading direction 6 . The contact elements 4, which are also referred to as direct plug contacts, are used for the direct electrical contacting of a mating contact surface (not shown), in particular a contact surface ("land") on a printed circuit board. A chamber wall 7 of the contact chambers 3 is in each case with a counter to Loading direction 6 in the direction of the chamber opening 5 out projecting Verrastungslanze 8 is formed, which protrudes with a latching hook 8a in the contact chamber 3.

Wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, kann das Kontaktelement 4 als flaches Blechstanzteil ("Flachkontakt") 9 ausgeführt sein, an das eine elektrische Leitung 10 eines Kabelbaums (Kabelstrangs) angelötet, angeschweißt oder gecrimpt ist. Das Kontaktelement 4 weist eine hier lediglich beispielhaft durch die Kante des Blechstanzteils gebildete Kontaktfläche 11 zur Anlage in einer Normalkraftrichtung 12 an einer Gegenkontaktfläche auf. Das Kontaktelement 4 weist außerdem eine in Richtung quer zur Bestückungsrichtung 6 und quer zur Normalkraftrichtung 12 verlaufende runde Durchgangsöffnung 13 auf. Statt dem gezeigten runden Öffnungsquerschnitt sind auch beliebig andere Öffnungsquerschnitte möglich. Die zur Kontaktierung der Gegenkontaktfläche erforderliche Normalkraft FN des Kontaktelements 4 wird entweder durch eine federnde Ausbildung der Kontaktfläche 11, z.B. als Kontaktfeder oder, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, als federnder Ring, aufgebracht oder durch eine zusätzliche Feder in der Kontaktkammer 3 bewirkt.As in Fig. 2 shown, the contact element 4 may be designed as a flat sheet metal stamped part ("flat contact") 9 , to which an electrical line 10 of a wiring harness (wire harness) is soldered, welded or crimped. The contact element 4 has a contact surface 11 formed here merely by way of example through the edge of the stamped sheet metal part for abutment in a normal force direction 12 on a mating contact surface. The contact element 4 also has a direction in the direction transverse to the mounting direction 6 and transverse to the normal force direction 12 round through hole 13 . Instead of the round opening cross section shown, any other opening cross sections are possible. The required for contacting the mating contact surface normal force F N of the contact element 4 is either by a resilient design of the contact surface 11, for example as a contact spring or, as in Fig. 2 shown as a resilient ring, applied or effected by an additional spring in the contact chamber 3.

Wie in Fig. 1b gezeigt, sind die eingesteckten Kontaktelemente 4 in den Kontaktkammern 3 entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 jeweils mittels der Verrastungslanzen 8 verrastet, die jeweils in die Durchgangsöffnung 13 der eingesteckten Kontaktelemente 4 eingreifen und somit die eingesteckten Kontaktelemente 4 entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 hintergreifen. Da ein Teil der Kammerwand 7 gleichzeitig auch die Verriegelungslanze 8 ausbildet, können unvollständig bestückte Kontaktkammern 3 beim Bestücken der Nachbarkammer durch eine erhöhte Bestückkraft detektiert werden, da eine nicht in die Durchgangsöffnung 13 eingerastete Verrieglungslanze 8 den Eintritt des Nachbarkontaktelement 4 in seine Kammer behindert.As in Fig. 1b shown, the inserted contact elements 4 are latched in the contact chambers 3 against the mounting direction 6 respectively by means of Verrastungslanzen 8, each engaging in the through hole 13 of the inserted contact elements 4 and thus engage the inserted contact elements 4 against the loading direction 6. Since a part of the chamber wall 7 at the same time forms the locking lance 8, incompletely populated contact chambers 3 can be detected during loading of the adjacent chamber by an increased placement force, as a not latched into the through hole 13 locking lance 8 obstructs the entry of the adjacent contact element 4 in his chamber.

Bei der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Kontaktanordnung 1 sind die eingesteckten Kontaktelemente 4 in den nebeneinander angeordneten Kontaktkammern 3 entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 mittels eines Verriegelungsstabes 14 verriegelt, der durch die Durchgangsöffnungen 13 der in einer Reihe nebeneinander angeordneten Kontaktelemente 4 in Richtung 15 hindurchgreift und somit die eingesteckten Kontaktelemente 4 entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 hintergreift.At the in Fig. 3 Contact arrangement 1 shown are the inserted contact elements 4 in the juxtaposed contact chambers. 3 locked against the loading direction 6 by means of a locking rod 14 which engages through the through holes 13 of the side by side arranged in a row contact elements 4 in the direction 15 and thus engages behind the inserted contact elements 4 against the mounting direction 6.

Vom Kontaktelement 4 der Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich das in Fig. 4 gezeigte erfindungsgemässe Kontaktelement 4 durch eine zweite in Richtung quer zur Bestückungsrichtung 6 und quer zur Normalkraftrichtung 12 verlaufende Durchgangsöffnung 16. Dieses Kontaktelement 4 wird in seiner Kontaktkammer 3 entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 sowohl mittels seiner ersten Durchgangsöffnung 13 primärverrastet als auch mittels seiner zweiten Durchgangsöffnung 16 sekundärverriegelt.From the contact element 4 of Fig. 2 this is different in Fig. 4 shown inventive contact element 4 by a second in the direction transverse to the loading direction 6 and transverse to the direction of normal force 12 extending through opening 16th This contact element 4 is in its contact chamber 3 against the placement direction 6 both by means of its first through hole 13 primary latched as well as secondarily locked by means of its second passage opening 16.

Die Kontaktelemente können in den entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 offenen Kontaktkammern 3 des Kontaktgehäuses 2 entgegen der Bestückungsrichtung 6 auch noch zusätzlich gesichert sein, z.B. durch separate Primärverrastungen oder Sekundärverriegelungen.The contact elements can be additionally secured in the opposite direction to the mounting direction 6 open contact chambers 3 of the contact housing 2 against the mounting direction 6, for. by separate primary locks or secondary locks.
