Definitions
- Printed circuit board connector The present invention relates to an electrical connector according to claim 1.
- the present invention thus relates in particular to an electrical connector for connecting to a printed circuit board and for connecting a plug to the connector.
- Printed circuit board connector solutions of the generic type in particular for currents up to 10A for different applications in electronics, especially for applications in which high temperatures, such as temperatures up to 180 ° C occur and environmental influences such as moisture, prepare the following technical problems. There are various contacting techniques to connect PCB connectors to the circuit board.
- a conventional way is the connection with solder contacts.
- a soldering gas occurs during soldering, which can lead to undesired side effects and also to overpressure in the soldering area.
- soldering fumes are released, which can either lead directly to overpressure in a sealed area or damage to the PCB connector or the circuit board.
- the basic idea of the present invention is to design a printed circuit board connector with a sealing element or a seal and with press-fit contacts for
- Press-fit contacts protrude through through holes in the seal.
- a sealed printed circuit board connector for electrically connecting a plug to a printed circuit board is provided with an interface housing which has at least one signal contact in the connection region and at least two press-fit contacts with press-in zones, wherein the interface housing is designed with a contact surface for a seal and in the sealing region of the
- a seal is arranged, wherein the seal a
- the press-in elements with their press-in zones can be mechanically fixed to the circuit board in such a way that a mechanically stable and clearly defined in the sealing plane arrangement of
- PCB connector is ensured to the circuit board.
- the signal contacts are as press-fit contacts
- the press-in elements make the mechanical connection to the circuit board.
- the press-in elements may be made of a first material
- the signal contacts may be made of a second material different from the first material.
- the material of the press-in elements can be selected so that the best possible mechanical connection is made with a corresponding opening in the circuit board, while the signal contacts are provided from an optimal for the power transmission and the electrical connection material.
- the printed circuit board connector is formed with a socket body with a receiving space for receiving a corresponding mating connector on the opposite side of the support surface
- a one-piece socket body which on the one hand has the press-in elements and on the other hand comprises signal contacts extending from the receiving space into the terminal space.
- the signal contacts have press-in zones and the press-in zones of the signal contacts are in the same mounting plane as the press-in zones of the press-fit elements.
- This particularly advantageous embodiment can ensure that on the one hand when pressing the PCB connector to the circuit board, the offset is set to a fixed, defined level and with complete insertion of the
- PCB connector is defined in the corresponding press-in openings in the circuit board a defined mounting plane, which on the one hand creates a manufacturing security and on the other hand can be compressed by suitable selection of the seal to a predetermined defined degree.
- the printed circuit board connector according to the invention is formed so that the seal is arranged in the thickness direction at least partially in the region of the press-in zones, so that when pressing the PCB connector into a printed circuit board, the seal is compressed in the thickness direction.
- the sealing region is formed with a depression for introducing the seal into the depression.
- the recess is completely bounded by a collar enclosing the signal contacts and the press-fit elements. This has the advantage that on the one hand the position of the seal is ensured by the depression and on the compression of the seal in the thickness direction, a lateral boundary is present, while at the same time existing in the thickness direction
- Support surface is defined to prevent over-pressing of the PCB connector in the circuit board.
- the collar forms a flat stop, which at the same time
- PCB connector is incomplete pressed.
- the printed circuit board connector is inserted with its press-in elements in a corresponding press-in opening of a circuit board and the signal contacts with at least one on the circuit board by a lens covered LED (light emitting diode) is connected.
- This embodiment provides a particularly efficient and sealed solution for a printed circuit board connector in which a sealed LED is already integrated.
- a plurality of LEDs can be arranged in the lens, whereby a pluggable lighting arrangement is provided, in which a sealed PCB connector is integrated.
- the invention therefore also provides an LED lighting device which has a sealed printed circuit board interface.
- the invention thus provides an LED lighting device which has a sealed printed circuit board interface according to one of the above-mentioned features individually or in combination.
- FIG. 1 a perspective view of a printed circuit board connector according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a printed circuit board connector according to the invention according to FIG. 1 from a view obliquely from below;
- FIG. Fig. 3 is a schematic sectional view through a sealed according to the invention
- Printed circuit board connector which is connected to a circuit board on which a LED covered by a lens is arranged.
- the printed circuit board connector 1 consists of an interface housing 2, which in the present embodiment has a receiving socket 3 with a receiving space 5.
- a receiving socket 3 and in the receiving space 5 can be a
- the printed circuit board connector 1 has two signal contacts 6, 6 '.
- the signal contacts 6, 6 ' as
- Press-fit contacts formed with press-in zones 40 are Press-fit contacts formed with press-in zones 40.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 it can also be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 that adjacent to the corners of the essentially parallelepiped printed circuit board connector flange 4 (referred to as flange 4 for short) a mechanical connecting means is arranged in each case.
- the mechanical connecting means according to the invention as Einpressimplantation 20, 21, 22, 23 are formed.
- the press-in elements 20, 21, 22, 23 have press-in zones 41, in order, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 that adjacent to the corners of the essentially parallelepiped printed circuit board connector flange 4 (referred to as flange 4 for short) a mechanical connecting means is arranged in each case.
- the mechanical connecting means according to the invention as Einpressimplantation 20, 21, 22, 23 are formed.
- the press-in elements 20, 21, 22, 23 have press-in zones 41, in order, as can be seen in FIG.
- the flange 4 and thus the interface housing 2 have a recess 7, which forms a support surface 30.
- the support surface 30 is surrounded by a circumferential collar 12th
- a seal 9 is introduced, which rests on the support surface 30 to form a gap to the collar 12, as shown in Fig. 2 in the perspective view by way of example.
- the gasket 9 is compressed in the thickness direction D and can expand into the gap shown in FIG. 2.
- the surface of the seal 9 ' forms with the surface of the circuit board 60, the sealing level. This sealing plane simultaneously represents the mounting plane 50 of the
- the mounting plane 50 is formed by the top of the collar 12.
- press-in zones 40 and / or the press-in zones 41 of the signal contacts 6, 6 'and the press-fit elements are located at least partially in the assembly plane 50
- the mounting plane 50 is shown by way of example by a dashed line. In the present embodiment, therefore, the abutment of the collar 12 and the press-in zones 40, 41 of both the contacts and the press-in elements lie in a substantially common plane.
- the LED 80 is covered by a lens 70 sealing.
