Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connection from a plug to a circuit carrier according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing such a connection according to claim 7.
  • the invention relates to the field of electrical plug connections for establishing an electrical connection between two electrical regions separated by a wall.
  • electrical connections are used, for example, when transmission control units are used in motor vehicles, the circuit carrier, on which, for example, a control unit is arranged, being electrically connected to electrical components outside the housing in the control unit housing with the aid of a plug.
  • the plug is arranged directly on the circuit carrier or the printed circuit board. This ensures that the tolerance chains are as short as possible when establishing the connection.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that the opening in the housing wall must be somewhat larger than the connector itself, which can lead to difficulties in sealing the connector to the housing wall.
  • Another disadvantage of this arrangement is that the contact area between the housing inner wall and the circuit carrier, the size of which determines, among other things, the amount of heat transfer from the circuit carrier to the housing, is relatively small under certain circumstances.
  • the fact that the plug is in contact with the circuit carrier with at least its entire cross-sectional area means that the area of the circuit carrier is relatively large, which has a cost-driving effect in the case of a high-quality ceramic circuit carrier.
  • the US 2012/322285 A1 describes a waterproof connector which is mounted on a housing of an electrical device and is connected to a mating connector.
  • the housing comprises a carrier plate, on which a circuit board is arranged, which is electrically connected to the waterproof connector.
  • the cross-sectional area of the opening in the housing wall through which a plug contact of the plug protrudes for establishing the electrical connection is smaller than the end face of the plug, the end face of the plug completely covers the opening.
  • the circuit carrier at least partially covers the opening.
  • the side of the housing wall facing the end face serves in particular as a stop for easy positioning of the plug when making the connection. Furthermore, this arrangement advantageously facilitates the sealing of the plug from the housing. For example, in particular in a groove running around the end face, a seal designed as a sealing ring can be provided, which seals the connector against the housing wall in the axial direction, in particular in an oil-tight manner, after the connection according to the invention has been established.
  • the seal acts radially, in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the plug, between the plug and a projection surrounding the opening in the housing wall on the outside thereof.
  • This projection can be designed as a separate part or, in particular, can also be integrated in the housing wall.
  • a solid seal for example a plastic sealing ring, but also a liquid seal is conceivable as a seal.
  • circuit carrier electrical components such as processors or power semiconductors, which produce heat during operation, are arranged on the circuit carrier.
  • the contact surface between the circuit carrier and the housing inner wall serves, in particular, on the one hand during the production of the connection according to the invention as a stop for simple positioning of the circuit carrier on the housing inner wall, and on the other hand to dissipate heat from the circuit carrier towards the housing.
  • the contact area between the inner wall of the housing and the circuit carrier is comparatively larger than in the case of an arrangement in which the circuit carrier completely covers the opening the plug is connected directly to the circuit board. This leads in particular to a comparatively increased heat transfer from the circuit carrier to the housing.
  • the circuit carrier is non-positively or positively connected to the plug, in particular by means of screws or rivets.
  • connection of a connection contact to the corresponding receptacle in the circuit carrier is designed as a so-called press-fit contact.
  • a press-fit contact is a press-fit connection and is produced by pressing a connection contact, which is usually designed as a pin, into a receptacle designed as a through-hole in the circuit carrier or printed circuit board.
  • the decisive factor here is that the pin has a larger diagonal in cross-section than the plated-through hole in the diameter. This creates an overpressure when the pin is pressed into the receptacle, which usually has to be absorbed by deforming the pin.
  • the through-contact in the circuit carrier is less stressed by the elastic behavior of the pin.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an electrical connection between a plug and a circuit carrier of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the connection compared to the prior art in terms of the effort involved in sealing the plug against the housing and represents an improvement in relation to the positioning of the components involved.
  • the plug comprising at least one plug contact and having an end face in the direction of the housing wall
  • the circuit carrier further comprising a receptacle for a plug contact, and the cross-sectional area of the If the opening in the housing wall is smaller than the end face of the plug, the circuit carrier is first positioned on the inside of the housing wall in such a way that the circuit carrier at least partially covers the opening in the housing wall.
  • the plug is then positioned on the outside of the housing wall in such a way that its end face completely covers the opening in the housing wall.
  • a seal can be placed between the connector and the housing wall.
  • the circuit carrier is then connected to the plug in a non-positive or positive manner, in particular by means of a connecting element such as a screw or a rivet.
  • Fig. 1 shows an electrical connection of a plug 1, which has two plug contacts 2, from outside a housing or a housing wall 3 with a circuit carrier 4, which is arranged inside the housing.
  • a control unit in particular with heat-generating power components, such as are used in transmission control units for motor vehicles, can be arranged on the circuit carrier.
  • the plug 1 is guided through an opening 6 in the housing wall 3 and is in direct contact with the circuit board 4 over the entire surface, with a plug contact 2 being arranged in a corresponding receptacle 7 of the circuit board 4 for establishing the electrical connection.
  • the circuit carrier 4 is non-positively connected to the connector 1, in particular by means of screws 5.
  • the size of the circuit carrier 4 depends on the size of the connector 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows an inventive electrical connection of such a connector 1 outside the housing and the circuit carrier 4 inside the housing, here the cross-sectional area of the opening 6 is smaller than the end face 8 of the connector 1, and the connector 1 with its end face 8 on the outside of the Housing wall 3 is arranged so that the end face 8 completely covers the opening 6.
  • the circuit carrier 4 is arranged on the inside of the housing wall 3. The larger the contact area between the inside of the housing wall 3 and the circuit carrier 4, the greater the heat dissipation from the circuit carrier 4 to the housing.
  • two plug contacts 2 protrude through the opening 6 and are each received in a corresponding receptacle 7 of the circuit carrier 4 in an electrically conductive manner. The number of plug contacts 2 can vary depending on the application.
  • the cross-sectional area of the opening 6 in the housing wall 3 is smaller than the end face 8 of the plug 1, in comparison to an arrangement as in FIG Fig. 1 , in which the connector 1 is connected directly to the circuit carrier 4, the area of the circuit carrier 4 can be reduced accordingly, which leads to a cost saving especially in the case of expensive ceramic circuit carriers.
  • the size of the housing can in particular be reduced accordingly.
  • the circuit carrier 4 is non-positively connected to the plug 1, in particular by means of screws 5, as a connecting element connected.
  • a form-fitting connection would also be conceivable, for example by means of a rivet.
  • the screw 5 is passed through a corresponding recess in the circuit carrier 4 and in the housing wall 3.
  • the recess in the housing wall 3 can be completely closed or only partially closed. It would also be conceivable that the screw 5 is guided within the opening 6 of the housing wall 3.
  • the electrical connection between a plug contact 2 and a corresponding receptacle 7 of the circuit carrier 4 can in particular be designed as a press-fit connection, the plug contact 2, in a manner not shown, having a larger diagonal in cross section than the receptacle 7. This creates when pressing the plug contact 2 into the receptacle 7, an overpressure.
  • the long pin-shaped plug contacts 2 are free of solder and can also be used as rear contacting devices. Further advantages of press-fit technology compared to conventional soldering technology have already been described in detail above.
  • Fig. 3 shows a connection according to the invention with a radial seal 10 acting in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the connector 1 between the connector 1 and a projection 11 surrounding the opening 6 in the housing wall 3 on the outside thereof.
  • This projection 11 can be a separate part, as in Fig. 3 shown, be executed or in particular also be integrated in the housing wall 3.
  • a solid seal, for example a plastic sealing ring, but also a liquid seal is conceivable as the seal 10.
  • Fig. 4 shows a connection according to the invention with an axially acting in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the connector 1 seal 10 between the connector 1 and the housing wall 3.
  • the seal 10 is designed as a sealing ring which is arranged in a circumferential surface 8 of the connector 1 groove 9.
  • Fig. 5 shows a plan view of the connection according to the invention Fig. 4 from outside the case.
