Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Isolierkörper eines Steckverbinders nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an insulating body of a connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Isolierkörper wird in eine dafür vorgesehene Kammer eines Steckverbindergehäuses eingesetzt. In der Regel umfassen die Isolierkörper Aufnahmen für Kontaktelemente, an welche die Leiter eines an den Steckverbinder anzuschließenden Kabels angeschlossen werden. Alternativ können die Kontaktelemente auch mit den Leiterbahnen einer Leiterplatte elektrisch kontaktiert werden.An insulating body is inserted into a dedicated chamber of a connector housing. As a rule, the insulating bodies comprise receptacles for contact elements to which the conductors of a cable to be connected to the plug connector are connected. Alternatively, the contact elements can also be electrically contacted with the conductor tracks of a printed circuit board.

In der Datenübertragungstechnik werden Isolierkörper mit so genannten Schirmelementen eingesetzt. Die Schirmelemente dienen dazu, zumindest zwei Leiter des anzuschließenden Kabels - und/oder die dazugehörigen Kontaktelemente - elektromagnetisch gegeneinander abzuschirmen.Insulating bodies with so-called shielding elements are used in data transmission technology. The shield elements serve to shield at least two conductors of the cable to be connected - and / or the associated contact elements - electromagnetically against each other.

Die EP 1 909 125 A1 zeigt einen Steckverbinder, dessen Isolierkörper Erdungsplatten aufweist, die zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit einer metallischen Gehäuseummantelung vorgesehen sind. Der Isolierkörper ist aus MID-fähigem Material hergestellt und die Erdungsplatten sind mithilfe der MID-Technik beschichtet.The EP 1 909 125 A1 shows a connector whose insulator has earth plates, which are provided for electrical contact with a metallic housing casing. The insulator is made of MID-capable material and the ground plates are coated using the MID technique.

Die US 2006/0246780 A1 zeigt einen Steckverbinder, der dreiteilig ausgeführt ist. Ein erstes Bauteil enthält die Kontaktelemente, ein zweites Bauteil weist Kabelfixierungsmittel auf und eine dritte Komponente bildet den wesentlichen Teil des Steckverbindergehäuses aus. Die Leiter werden mithilfe der Schneidklemmentechnik elektrisch kontaktiert. Die Schneidklemmen sind in den Kontaktelementen integriert.The US 2006/0246780 A1 shows a connector that is made in three parts. A first component contains the contact elements, a second component has cable fixing means and a third component forms the essential part of the connector housing. The conductors are electrically contacted using the cutting-edge technology. The insulation displacement terminals are integrated in the contact elements.

Die JP 2010 091 389 A zeigt einen zweiteiligen Drucksensor.The JP 2010 091 389 A shows a two-part pressure sensor.

Die DE 10 2009 054 611 A1 zeigt einen einteiligen Isolierkörpers eines Steckverbinders, der aus einem Material gefertigt ist, welche mithilfe der MID-Technik mit elektrisch leitendem Material beschichtet werden kann.The DE 10 2009 054 611 A1 shows a one-piece insulating body of a connector, which is made of a material that can be coated using the MID technique with electrically conductive material.

Die DE 10 2010 051 954 B3 zeigt einen Isolierkörper eines Steckverbinders, der ein Schirmkreuz zur elektromagnetischen Abschirmung zumindest zweier, im Isolierkörper enthaltener Kontaktelemente gegeneinander enthält. Das Schirmkreuz besteht aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, welches mithilfe der MID-Technik mit einem leitenden Material beschichtet ist.The DE 10 2010 051 954 B3 shows an insulating body of a connector which contains a shield cross for electromagnetic shielding at least two, contained in the insulating body contact elements against each other. The shield cross is made of a plastic material which is coated with a conductive material using the MID technique.

Die DE 102010051954 B3 zeigt einen Rundsteckverbinder dessen Kontaktelemente den Steckverbinder in voller Länge durchdringen um einseitig das Steckgesicht und anderseitig den Anschlussbereich des Steckverbinders zu bilden. Die Kontaktelemente müssen so in den Isolierkörper eingebettet werden, dass sie bei hohen Datenübertragungsraten kein Übersprechen verursachen. Derartige Kontaktelemente sind oftmals gebogen ausgeführt was obige Aufgabe noch erschwert.The DE 102010051954 B3 shows a circular connector whose contact elements penetrate the connector in full length to one side to form the mating face and on the other side the terminal portion of the connector. The contact elements must be embedded in the insulator so that they do not cause crosstalk at high data transfer rates. Such contact elements are often performed bent which makes the above task even more difficult.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Isolierkörper vorzuschlagen, der einfach herstellbar ist und dennoch ein gutes Übersprechverhalten aufweist.The object of the invention is to propose an insulating body, which is easy to produce and yet has good crosstalk behavior.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Im Isolierkörper sind Anschlusselemente angeordnet. Die Anschlusselemente weisen einen Anschlussbereich auf, der beispielsweise mit einer Leiterbahn einer Leiterplatte elektrisch kontaktierbar ist.In the insulating connection elements are arranged. The connection elements have a connection region which can be electrically contacted, for example, with a conductor track of a printed circuit board.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, die Anschlusselemente mithilfe der MID-Technik herzustellen. Dadurch sind der geometrischen Auslegung der Anschlusselemente keine Grenzen gesetzt. Es müssen außerdem keine - unter Umständen gebogenen - Einzelkontakte mehr in den Isolierkörper eingebracht werden, was die Anzahl der Bauteile eines Steckverbinders reduziert und dessen Montageaufwand vereinfacht. Erfindungsgemäss sind die Anschlusselemente im Wesentlichen als Leiterbahnen ausgeführt. Die Leiterbahnen verlaufen im Wesentlichen parallel zur Mantelfläche des Anschlusskörpers, wobei zumindest zwei Leiterbahnen unterschiedlich tief in Richtung der Mittelachse des Anschlusskörpers ausgerichtet sind. In diesem Fall verlaufen die Leiterbahnen weiterhin parallel zueinander.According to the invention it is provided to produce the connection elements using the MID technique. As a result, the geometric design of the connection elements are no limits. There is also no - possibly bent - single contacts are more introduced into the insulating body, which reduces the number of components of a connector and simplifies its assembly work. According to the invention, the connection elements are designed essentially as conductor tracks. The conductor tracks extend substantially parallel to the lateral surface of the connection body, wherein at least two conductor tracks are aligned at different depths in the direction of the central axis of the connection body. In this case, the interconnects continue to run parallel to each other.

Es kann auch vorteilhaft sein die einzelnen Leiterbahnen unterschiedlich weit in radialer Richtung zur Mittelachse des Anschlusskörpers eintauchen zu lassen. In diesem Fall würden die Leiterbahnen nicht mehr unbedingt parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sein.It may also be advantageous to allow the individual strip conductors to be immersed differently far in the radial direction relative to the central axis of the connection body. In this case, the tracks would no longer necessarily be aligned parallel to each other.

Durch obige Maßnahmen kann ein Steckverbinder mit sehr guten Übersprecheigenschaften erzeugt werden. Durch die MID-Technik ist eine insgesamt sehr flexible und genaue Leiterführung möglich. Erfindungsgemäss ist der hier vorgeschlagene Isolierkörper mehrteilig (beispielsweise zweiteilig) ausgeführt. Erfindungsgemäss besteht der hier vorgeschlagene Isolierkörper aus einem Steckkörper und einem Anschlusskörper. Im Steckkörper sind die Kontaktelemente angeordnet, die das so genannte Steckgesicht des Steckverbinders ausbilden. Im Anschlusskörper sind Anschlusselemente angeordnet. Die Anschlusselemente weisen einen Anschlussbereich auf, der beispielsweise mit einer Leiterbahn einer Leiterplatte elektrisch kontaktierbar ist.By the above measures, a connector can be produced with very good Übersprecheigenschaften. Due to the MID technology, an overall very flexible and accurate conductor guidance is possible. According to the invention, the insulating body proposed here is designed in several parts (for example in two parts). According to the invention, the insulating body proposed here consists of a plug body and a connection body. In the plug body, the contact elements are arranged, which form the so-called mating face of the connector. In the connection body connection elements are arranged. The connection elements have a connection area which For example, with a conductor track of a printed circuit board is electrically contacted.

Vorzugsweise ist der Anschlussbereich dann als so genannter Lötfuß (auch Lötpin genannt) ausgebildet. Hier kann aber auch die SMD- oder pin-in-hole-Technik angewendet werden. Es ist auch möglich den Anschlussbereich mit einem Leiter eines anzuschließenden Kabels elektrisch zu kontaktieren.Preferably, the connection region is then designed as a so-called soldering foot (also called soldering pin). However, the SMD or pin-in-hole technique can also be used here. It is also possible to electrically contact the connection area with a conductor of a cable to be connected.

Bei bekannten Isolierkörpern sind Steckkörper und Anschlusskörper in einem Bauteil zusammengefasst ausgebildet. Beim erfindungsgemäßen Isolierkörper sind Steckkörper und Anschlusskörper getrennte Bauteile. Beim Zusammenstecken dieser Bauteile werden die Kontaktelemente des Steckkörpers mit den Anschlusselementen des Anschlusskörpers elektrisch kontaktiert.In known insulating body plug body and connector body are combined in a single component formed. When insulator according to the invention plug body and connector body are separate components. When mating these components, the contact elements of the plug body are electrically contacted with the connection elements of the connector body.

Um die Verrastung von Steckkörper und Anschlusskörper zu ermöglichen sind geeignete Rastmittel vorgesehen. Diese Rastmittel ermöglichen vorzugsweise eine reversible Verbindung von Steckkörper und Anschlusskörper.In order to enable the locking of plug body and connector body suitable locking means are provided. This locking means preferably allow a reversible connection of plug body and connector body.

Durch die Zweiteiligkeit von Steckkörper und Anschlusskörper ist es möglich denselben Steckkörper mit unterschiedlichen Anschlusskörpern reversibel zu verbinden. Dadurch kann ein Steckverbinder mit demselben Steckgesicht einerseits für einen Leiterplattenanschluss und andererseits für einen Kabelanschluss konfektioniert werden. Der Anschlusskörper kann an das jeweilige Einsatzgebiet optimal angepasst und beispielsweise gewinkelt oder gerade ausgeführt sein. Durch die oben geschilderte Modularität des Anschlussbereichs wird der Steckverbinder vielseitig einsetzbar.Due to the bipartite plug body and connector body, it is possible to reversibly connect the same plug body with different connection bodies. As a result, a connector with the same mating face can be assembled on the one hand for a printed circuit board connection and on the other hand for a cable connection. The connection body can be optimally adapted to the respective field of application and, for example, angled or straight. The above-described modularity of the connection area makes the connector versatile.

Es kann auch vorteilhaft sein den Steckkörper und den Anschlusskörper über Rastmittel irreversibel miteinander verrastbar zu gestalten. Dies ist vorteilhaft um eine Vielfachsteckung und damit eine Erhöhung des Übergangswiderstands zu vermeiden.It may also be advantageous to make the plug body and the connector body irreversible latching means locking means. This is advantageous in order to avoid multiple plugging and thus an increase in the contact resistance.

Vorzugsweise sind die Kontaktelemente länglich ausgebildet und parallel zueinander im Steckkörper angeordnet. Das eine Ende des Kontaktelements ist im Steckbereich des Steckverbinders angeordnet und mit einem Kontaktelement eines Gegensteckers und/oder einer Buchse verbindbar. Das andere Ende des Kontaktelements bildet einen Kontaktbereich aus mit dem ein Anschlusselement des Anschlusskörpers elektrisch kontaktierbar ist.Preferably, the contact elements are elongate and arranged parallel to each other in the plug body. The one end of the contact element is arranged in the plug-in region of the connector and connectable to a contact element of a mating connector and / or a socket. The other end of the contact element forms a contact region with which a connection element of the connection body can be electrically contacted.

Vorzugsweise ist das Anschlusselement als Leiterbahn ausgestaltet, die in Richtung des Steckkörpers einen Anschlussbereich für dessen Kontaktelemente bietet. In Leiterplatten- oder Kabelanschlussrichtung befindet sich an der Leiterbahn ein Anschlussbereich für eine Leiterbahn einer Leiterplatte und/oder einen Leiter eines anzuschließenden Kabels. Erfindungsgemäss ist die Leiterbahn des Anschlusselements durch MID-Technik hergestellt. Die MID-Technik wird hinreichend in der DE 102006041610 B3 beschrieben. Dadurch sind der Gestaltungsfreiheit der Leiterbahnen keine Grenzen gesetzt. Die Leiterbahnen können so geformt werden, dass sie für die hochfrequente Datenübertragung besonders geeignet sind. Die an die Leiterbahn anschließenden endseitigen Anschlussbereiche (beispielsweise einseitig eine Anschlussbuchse für die Kontaktelemente und anderseitig die Lötfüße für die Leiterplatte) können weiterhin als metallisches Element ausgeführt sein.Preferably, the connection element is designed as a conductor track, which offers a connection region for its contact elements in the direction of the plug body. In printed circuit board or cable connection direction is located on the conductor track, a connection region for a conductor of a printed circuit board and / or a conductor of a cable to be connected. According to the invention, the conductor track of the connection element is produced by MID technology. The MID technology will be sufficient in the DE 102006041610 B3 described. As a result, the design freedom of the tracks are no limits. The printed conductors can be shaped so that they are particularly suitable for high-frequency data transmission. The terminal connection areas adjoining the conductor track (for example, a connection socket for the contact elements on one side and the soldering feet for the printed circuit board on the other side) can furthermore be designed as a metallic element.
