Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug connection for the direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces on a printed circuit board according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Control devices usually consist of a printed circuit board on which electronic components are placed, and a housing.
  • 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.
  • electrical contact surfaces are also known as direct electrical contacts known in which the male connector is omitted and the individual poles of the wiring harness are contacted directly on the circuit board.
  • electrical contact surfaces are provided on the circuit board, which are contacted by contact elements which are inserted into the harness connector.
  • a plug-in connection for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces on a printed circuit board known.
  • a plug-in receptacle is provided on a further printed circuit board.
  • the connector further comprises a Anpressfeder adopted for pressing the contact elements in contact with the contact surfaces of the circuit board.
  • the pressure spring device is provided in the plug-in receptacle fixed on the further printed circuit board.
  • EP 1335 454 A1 is also a connector for electrical direct contacting of contact surfaces on a printed circuit board known in which the plug-in receptacle is fixed on a further circuit board.
  • FIGS. 1a, 1b show two known connectors 101 for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces 102 on a printed circuit board 103 , wherein the contact surfaces 102 are provided on both sides of the printed circuit board 103.
  • a plug-in receptacle 104 is provided, in which the printed circuit board 103 protrudes in the insertion direction.
  • a plug (eg harness connector) 105 is inserted, the two-part contact carrier 106a, 106b with
  • Spring contacts 107 for direct electrical contacting of the contact surfaces 102 of the circuit board 103 has.
  • the two contact carrier halves 106a, 106b are hinged together at 120 .
  • Electrical leads 108 of the spring contacts 107 are passed through a mat seal 109 which seals the plug receptacle 104 to the outside.
  • a pressure spring device 110 is furthermore provided, which acts on the contact carrier halves 106a, 106b and thereby presses the spring contacts 107 into abutment against the contact surfaces 102 of the printed circuit board 103.
  • the pressure spring device 110 which in Fig. 1a through a one-piece spring clip and in Fig. 1b is formed by two separate springs, thus acts integrally on the two-part contact carrier 106th
  • the object of the invention is to simplify a generic connector for direct electrical contact with a circuit board on.
  • the contact element is no longer formed with a contact spring, whereby a simplification of the contact element while increasing the robustness is made possible and the manufacturing cost of the contact element can be reduced.
  • the elimination of the contact spring also reduces the previous dependence of the contact normal force of the contact spring, because in particular with miniaturized contact elements, it is difficult with increasing degree of miniaturization, the required contact normal forces still reach.
  • the contact normal force is inventively by the pressure springs either directly or via movable contact elements of the Contact carrier individually applied to each contact element.
  • the pressure springs can advantageously be formed as individual springs or be formed by a one-piece spring comb. Since printed circuit board tolerances can now be compensated via the individually acting pressure springs, the contact carrier can now also be made in one piece according to the invention instead of continuing in two parts, which leads to a further cost reduction.
  • the movable contact elements of the contact carrier can also take over the function of a Maisprimärverrastung to secure the plugged into the contact carrier contact elements therein against their insertion direction.
  • connectors 1 are used for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces ("Lands") 2 on a circuit board 3 , wherein the contact surfaces 2 are provided on both sides of the circuit board 3.
  • a plug-in receptacle 4 is provided, in which the printed circuit board 3 protrudes in the insertion direction.
  • a plug (eg harness connector) 5 is inserted, which has a contact carrier 6 with contact elements 7 for the direct electrical contacting of the contact surfaces 2 of the circuit board 3.
  • Electrical lines 8 of the contact elements 7 are passed through a mat seal 9 , which seals the plug receptacle 4 to the outside.
  • a pressure spring device 10 is furthermore provided, which presses the contact elements 7 against the contact surfaces 2 of the printed circuit board 3.
  • the Anpressfeder worn 10 for each contact element 7 of the contact carrier 6 each have their own pressure spring 11 .
  • the contact carrier 6 has for each contact element 7 in each case a transverse (double arrow 12 ) to the circuit board 3 movable contact element 13 , which is arranged directly between the contact element 7 and the respective pressure spring 11 for pressing the contact element 7 in contact with the contact surface 2 of the circuit board 3 ,
  • the pressure springs 11 may each be designed as separate individual springs or be integrally formed by an open spring comb with free spring ends.
  • the transversely movable contact elements 13 of the contact carrier 6 are formed for example by housing tongues of the contact carrier, which are deflectable in the transverse direction 12.
  • the transversely movable contact elements 13 can also take over the function of a Kunststoffprimmaschineverrastung to secure the inserted into the contact carrier 6 contact elements 7 against their insertion direction in the contact carrier 6.
  • the pressure springs 11 are fastened to the bottom of the plug-in receptacle 4 and extend with their free spring end almost to the mat seal 9. These contact springs 11 directed in the direction of the mat seal 9 can alternatively also be fastened to the side wall of the plug receptacle 4.
  • the pressure springs 11 are attached to the sides of the plug-in receptacle 4 and extend with their free spring end in the direction of the bottom of the plug-in receptacle. 4
  • Fig. 4 are the pressure springs 11 U-shaped and secured to the sides of the receptacle 4 such that the free spring ends extend in the direction of the bottom of the receptacle 4.
  • the contact carrier 6 may be one-piece or two-piece, as above with respect to Fig. 1 is described to be executed.
  • the pressure springs 11 are each directly on their contact elements 7 at.
  • the pressure springs 11 may also be formed here as separate individual springs or by a one-piece (integral) spring comb made of electrically non-conductive or electrically conductive material. In the latter case, the pressure springs 11 each lie against an electrically insulated coating 14 on the contact elements 7, so as to prevent an electrical connection of the contact elements 7.
  • the contact elements 7 themselves each have insulation, such as an electrically insulated coating, at their point of contact with the respective pressure spring 11 so as to prevent electrical connection of the contact elements 7.
  • the pressure springs 11 may rest with their free spring ends on the wall of the plug-in receptacle 4, for example, for a power support.
  • the spring ends of the spring comb can be reconnected to each other there ("closed spring comb").
