Titel title
Kontaktierungsstecker zur Direktkontaktierung einer Leiterplatte  Contacting plug for direct contacting of a printed circuit board
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Kontaktierungsstecker nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1 . The invention relates to a Kontaktierungsstecker according to the preamble of claim 1.
Steuergeräte im Automotive-Bereich bestehen meist aus einer Leiterplatte, auf der elektronische Bauelemente platziert sind, und einem Gehäuse. In Control devices in the automotive sector usually consist of a printed circuit board, on which electronic components are placed, and a housing. 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.  Motor control devices is usually mounted on the circuit board a male connector 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 direkt durch Kontaktelemente des Kabelbaumsteckers kontaktiert werden. 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 directly by contact elements of the harness connector.
Bei der aus der DE 10 2005 063 239 A1 bekannten Direktkontaktierung weist der Kontaktierungsstecker zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundene Kontaktträger auf, die durch eine entgegen der Steckrichtung des Kontaktierungssteckers offene V- bzw. U-förmige Feder in Richtung aufeinander zu vorgespannt sind. Bei ineinander gesteckten Kontaktierungs- und Gegenkontaktierungssteckern befindet sich die Feder vollständig im abgedichteten Bereich des Kontaktierungssteckers, wodurch ihre Federlänge minimiert ist und damit ihre elastischen Federeigenschaften reduziert sind. In the direct contacting known from DE 10 2005 063 239 A1, the contacting plug has two contact carriers connected to one another in an articulated manner, which are biased toward one another by a V or U-shaped spring which is open in the opposite direction to the plugging direction of the contacting plug. In nested Kontaktierungs- and Gegenkontaktierungssteckern the spring is completely in the sealed area of the Kontaktierungssteckers, whereby their spring length is minimized and thus their elastic spring properties are reduced.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht demgegenüber darin, bei einem The object of the invention is in contrast, in a
Kontaktierungsstecker der eingangs genannten Art die elastischen Contacting plug of the type mentioned the elastic
Federeigenschaften der Feder zu verbessern, ohne dabei den abgedichteten Bereich des Kontaktierungssteckers zu vergrößern.  To improve spring properties of the spring, without increasing the sealed portion of the Kontaktierungssteckers.
Vorteile der Erfindung Advantages of the invention
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Kontaktierungsstecker mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. This object is achieved by a Kontaktierungsstecker with the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Feder mit ihrem Mittelabschnitt im ungedichteten Bereich angeordnet und erstreckt sich mit ihren beiden freien Federschenkeln durch die Dichtung hindurch in den abgedichteten Bereich der According to the invention, the spring is arranged with its central portion in the un-sealed area and extends with its two free spring legs through the seal into the sealed area of the
Kontaktierungssteckverbindung. Die Feder ist in ihrer Länge also nicht mehr durch die Dichtung begrenzt, sondern erhält zusätzliche Federlänge, ohne den kleinstmöglichen abgedichteten Gesamtbauraum zu beeinflussen. Die Feder (Federkennlinie) kann optimiert werden, erhält so einen größeren Contacting plug. The spring is therefore no longer limited in length by the seal, but receives additional spring length, without affecting the smallest possible sealed overall space. The spring (spring characteristic) can be optimized, so gets a larger
Arbeitsbereich und arbeitet im abgedichteten sowie im ungedichteten Bereich des Kontaktierungssteckers. Die Feder ist vorzugsweise eine Bügel- oder Schenkelfeder. Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstands der Erfindung sind der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen entnehmbar.  Working area and works in the sealed and in the non-sealed area of the Kontaktierungssteckers. The spring is preferably an ironing or thigh spring. Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the subject invention are the description, the drawings and claims removed.

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Kontaktierungsstecker (z.B. Kabelbaumstecker) 1 dient zur elektrischen Direktkontaktierung von beidseitig auf einer Leiterplatte 2 vorgesehenen Kontaktflächen („Lands") 3 (Fig. 2c). Die Steckrichtung des Kontaktierungssteckers 1 ist mit 4 bezeichnet. 1 is used for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces ("lands") 3 (FIG. 2c) provided on both sides of a printed circuit board 2. The plugging direction of the contacting plug 1 is designated by 4.
Der mit der Leiterplatte 2 steckverbindbare Kontaktierungsstecker 1 umfasst zwei, z.B. durch ein Filmscharnier 5 miteinander gelenkig verbundene The plug-in connector 1 which can be plugged into the printed circuit board 2 comprises two, e.g. by a film hinge 5 hinged together
Kontaktträger 6, die zwischen sich eine Steckaufnahme 7 (Fig. 2b) für die Leiterplatte 2 ausbilden und jeweils eine Reihe von in die Steckaufnahme 7 hineinragenden federnden Kontaktelementen 8 aufweisen, eine entgegen der Steckrichtung 4 offene V- bzw. U-förmige Feder (z.B. Bügel- oder Contact carrier 6, which form a plug-in receptacle 7 (FIG. 2 b) for the printed circuit board 2 between them and each have a row of resilient contact elements 8 projecting into the plug-in receptacle 7, a V- or U-shaped spring (eg Ironing or
Schenkelfeder) 9, die die beiden Kontaktträger 6 in Richtung aufeinander zu vorspannt, sowie einen zwischen den beiden Kontaktträgern 6 und seitlich neben der Steckaufnahme 7 ausgebildeten Steuerkanal 10, der im Leg spring) 9, which biases the two contact carriers 6 in the direction toward one another, and a control channel 10 formed between the two contact carriers 6 and laterally next to the plug-in receptacle 7, which in the
Zusammenwirken mit einem an der Leiterplatte 2 vorgesehenen Steuerkeil 11 (Fig. 2a) die beiden Kontaktträger 6 beim Einstecken der Leiterplatte 2 gegen die Wirkung der Feder 9 auf- und durch die Wirkung der Feder 9 zuschwenkt. Der Steuerkanal 10 ist durch zwei einander gegenüber liegende Cooperation with a provided on the circuit board 2 control wedge 11th (Fig. 2a) the two contact carrier 6 on insertion of the circuit board 2 against the action of the spring 9 and zuschwenkt by the action of the spring 9. The control channel 10 is defined by two opposing ones
Steuervorsprünge 12 der beiden Kontaktträger 6 verengt. Eine Dichtung 13 dichtet den Kontaktierungsstecker 1 in einer Steckbuchse 14 eines Control projections 12 of the two contact carrier 6 narrows. A seal 13 seals the Kontaktierungsstecker 1 in a socket 14 of a

zusammen. Die Leiterplatte 2 befindet sich zwischen den beiden Kontaktträgern 6, aber wirkt noch nicht mit den Kontaktelementen 8 zusammen. together. The printed circuit board 2 is located between the two contact carriers 6, but does not yet interact with the contact elements 8.
Beim weiteren Ineinanderstecken läuft der Steuerkeil 1 1 auf die beiden Upon further nesting the control wedge 1 1 runs on the two
Steuervorsprünge 12 auf, wodurch die beiden Kontaktträger 6 gegen die Wirkung der Feder 9 gegeneinander aufgespreizt werden und die Control projections 12, whereby the two contact carrier 6 against the action of the spring 9 are spread apart and the
Kontaktelemente 8 bezüglich der Leiterplatte 2 angehoben werden (Fig. 2c). Wenn beim weiteren Ineinanderstecken der Steuerkeil 1 1 dann an den Contact elements 8 are raised relative to the printed circuit board 2 (FIG. 2c). If the further nesting of the control wedge 1 1 then to the
Steuervorsprüngen 12 vorbeigeschoben ist, schwenken aufgrund der Feder 9 die beiden Kontaktträger 6 wieder zurück. Dadurch werden die Control projections 12 is pushed past, pivot due to the spring 9, the two contact carrier 6 back. This will be the
Kontaktelemente 8 auf die Kontaktflächen 3 der Leiterplatte 2 abgesenkt und kontaktieren diese in der Endsteckposition (Fig. 2d). Fig. 3 zeigt einen weiteren Kontaktierungsstecker 30 in seiner Endsteckposition im Kontaktierungsgegenstecker 15. Vom Kontaktierungsstecker 1 der Fign. 1 und 2 unterscheidet sich dieser Kontaktierungsstecker 30 lediglich dadurch, dass hier die Feder 9 rund ausgebildet und in Steckrichtung 4 offen ist und mit ihren beiden freien Federschenkeln 9a die beiden Kontaktträger 6 in Contact elements 8 lowered onto the contact surfaces 3 of the circuit board 2 and contact them in the Endsteckposition (Fig. 2d). Fig. 3 shows a further Kontaktierungsstecker 30 in its Endsteckposition in Kontaktierungsgegenstecker 15. From Kontaktierungsstecker 1 of Figs. 1 and 2, this Kontaktierungsstecker 30 differs only in that here the spring 9 is formed round and open in the insertion direction 4 and with its two free spring legs 9a, the two contact carrier 6 in
Steckrichtung 4 übergreift. Die beiden Kontaktträger 6 samt der Feder 9 sind in der Steckbuchse 14 des Kontaktierungsgegensteckers 15 durch die Dichtung 13 rückseitig abgedichtet. Aufgrund des vorgegeben abgedichteten Bauraums ist die Federlänge auf ein Minimum gekürzt, wodurch die Feder 9 fast keine elastische Federwirkung aufweist und daher sehr steif ist. Plug-in direction 4 overlaps. The two contact carrier 6 together with the spring 9 are sealed in the socket 14 of the Kontaktierungsgegensteckers 15 by the seal 13 back. Due to the predetermined sealed installation space the spring length is reduced to a minimum, whereby the spring 9 has almost no elastic spring action and therefore is very stiff.
Vom Kontaktierungsstecker 30 der Fig. 3 unterscheidet sich der in Fig. 4 gezeigte Kontaktierungsstecker 40 lediglich dadurch, dass hier die Feder 9 U- förmig ausgebildet ist und sich mit ihren beiden Federschenkeln 9a abgedichtet durch die Dichtung 13 hindurch erstreckt, während der mittlere Federabschnitt 9b außerhalb des abgedichteten Bauraums des Kontaktierungssteckers 40 angeordnet ist. Mit anderen Worten befindet sich die Dichtung 13 zwischen den Kontaktträgern 6 und dem mittleren Federabschnitt 9b. Anders als in Fig. 3 ist die Federlänge der Feder 9 nicht länger durch den von der Dichtung 13 vorgegebenen abgedichteten Bauraum des Kontaktierungssteckers begrenzt, sondern die Feder 9 erhält zusätzliche Federlänge und damit höhere elastische Federkraft, ohne den abgedichteten Bauraum zu vergrößern. From the Kontaktierungsstecker 30 of Fig. 3, the Kontaktierungsstecker 40 shown in Fig. 4 differs only in that here the spring 9 is U-shaped and sealed with its two spring legs 9a through the seal 13 extends therethrough, while the central spring portion 9b outside the sealed space of the Kontaktierungssteckers 40 is arranged. In other words, the seal 13 is between the contact carriers 6 and the central spring portion 9b. Unlike in Fig. 3, the spring length of the spring 9 is no longer limited by the predetermined by the seal 13 sealed space of the Kontaktierungssteckers, but the spring 9 receives additional spring length and thus higher elastic spring force, without increasing the sealed space.
