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.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a generic connector to the effect that dispensed with a plug-side pressure spring and the miniaturization of the plug can be further increased.
  • the functional component "contact force support for the harness connector” not as in known solutions in Jardinbaumstecker housed, but is part of the plug receptacle (interface), which may be formed by a plug collar or a socket.
  • the power build-up by the spring elements positioned in the plug-in takes place only at the very end of the plug-in process.
  • the mating process can be done almost powerless over a long way. This reduces in principle the risk of damage to contact elements through the circuit board and their contact surfaces and facilitates the formation of the connector during the insertion process, since this takes place in a region in which the contact force is not yet effective.
  • connector 1 are used for direct electrical contact pads ("Lands") 2 on a so-called “control unit” printed circuit board 3, wherein the contact surfaces 2 may be provided on one or both sides of the circuit board 3.
  • plug receptacle 5 of a plug collar or a plug tray into which the printed circuit board 3 extends in the region of their contact surfaces 2 against the plug direction.
  • a plug such as the harness connector
  • the circuit board 3 is inserted between the two contact carrier halves 8, which contact the contact surfaces 2 of the circuit board 3 with resilient contact elements 9 electrically.
  • the leading to the contact elements 9 electrical lines of the harness connector 6 are designated 10 .
  • a pressure-spring device 11 in the form of pressure springs 12 is provided, which are arranged in the plug-in receptacle 5 on both sides of the printed circuit board 3 and engage in the plug-in path of the two contact carrier halves 8.
  • the two contact carrier halves 8 of the inserted harness connector 6 in Direction towards one another, whereby their contact elements 9 are pressed with appropriate contact force in abutment against the contact surfaces 2 of the circuit board 3.
  • the structure of the contact force is thus on the plug-in receptacle 5 forming plug collar (abutment) and the contact springs 12 on the contact carrier halves 8 and their contact elements 9.
  • the contact springs 12 are arranged at the level of the contact elements 9 of the inserted harness connector 6, so that the contact force directly can be applied in the area directly above the contact elements 9 as a line load on the contact carrier halves 8.
  • a single pressure spring 12 may be provided which extends for a linear force introduction over almost the entire width of the plug-in receptacle 5.
  • a plurality of pressure springs 12 may be provided, which are arranged along the width of the plug-in receptacle 5 side by side for a linear force introduction.
  • each tension springs 13 are provided in the receptacle 5, the inserted harness connector 6 within the socket 5 at right angles to the force exerted by the pressure springs 12 contact force tense.
