Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug-in contact for connecting a conductor to a printed circuit board, which has a contact hole for receiving the plug contact, with a conductor connection portion, to which the conductor is connectable, with a plug-in portion which is insertable into the contact hole, with a first coupling portion, the the plug-in portion and the conductor connecting portion connects to each other, wherein the plug-in portion has at least two springs originating from a common origin resiliently elastic contact fingers.
  • Generic plug contacts are used to be used in contact carriers of so-called direct plug connector.
  • a direct connector is called plug-in devices whose contacts directly contact conductor sections of printed circuit boards.
  • A1 disclosed contacts can be produced direct connectors, which at any point of a printed circuit board - provided corresponding contact holes - are reversibly placed without the circuit board side, a connector counterpart, such as a contact trough, must be attached.
  • a connector counterpart such as a contact trough
  • the object of the invention is to optimize a generic contact for direct connector for the arrangement in contact carriers.
  • the invention is achieved by a plug contact with the features of claim 1, in particular with its characterizing features, according to which the first coupling portion is part of a mounting frame, which defines a continuous channel in the insertion direction.
  • the mounting frame offers the possibility to serve as a holding part for fixing the contact in the contact carrier.
  • the mounting frame offers the significant advantage that it significantly extends the functionality of the plug contact as a carrier of other components.
  • the mounting frame forms a second coupling section, which is arranged in particular diametrically opposite the first coupling section.
  • the first oppositely arranged coupling portion is created the prerequisite that the mounting frame, for example, a conductor connection portion springs, which extends in the opposite direction to the plug portion, but this has an offset. In this way it is possible to provide two conductor connection sections for the connection contact.
  • the mounting frame carries an insulation displacement fork as a conductor connection portion, which arises from a coupling portion, in particular, that each coupling portion each originates an insulation displacement fork.
  • the insulation displacement technology has proven itself for certain automation processes in the production of connectors.
  • the arrangement of two insulation displacement forks on the plug contact and their spacing over the mounting frame increases the contact reliability between plug contact and connection conductor considerably.
  • the mounting frame carries a stabilizing part, which springs from the second coupling portion, in particular the same direction to the plug portion.
  • This stabilizing part ensures correct alignment of the plug-in section initially during assembly of the plug-in contact in the contact carrier.
  • the stabilizing part also counteracts transverse forces during the actual insertion process, which forces are caused for example by asymmetrically formed contact fingers.
  • the stabilizing part is a stabilizing fork, whose arms serve to support on a contact carrier.
  • the mounting frame carries a latching element, by means of which the plug-in device can be arranged within a contact carrier.
  • the locking element is a locking cam, which is formed directly from the second coupling part or part of a part of the coupling part springing latching leaf.
  • the locking element can be recognized independently of the actual contact organs for optimal mounting of the contact in contact carrier.
  • the detent blade serves as a stabilizing part. In this way, the number of components is reduced, which has to bear the contact frame.
  • the mounting frame carries a fastener by means of which the plug contact within a contact carrier tensile and / or pressure-resistant anchored.
  • the stabilizing part is formed as a second plug-in section.
  • a generic contact 110 which comprises a conductor connection portion 111, a coupling portion 112 and a plug portion 113.
  • the plug portion 113 includes two parallel aligned contact fingers 114, which originate from a common origin 115 and - starting from the coupling portion 112 - are directed downward.
  • the contact fingers 114 are formed differently.
  • the contact finger 114A is longer than the contact finger 114B and forms a contact tip 116 leading from the contact finger 114B.
  • insulation displacement fork 117 On the side facing away from the plug portion 113 of the coupling portion 112 of the conductor connecting portion 111 is formed as insulation displacement fork 117, which serves the electrical connection of a connecting conductor, not shown.
  • plug contact 110 according to the invention is shown, where the representations in Figures 2 and 3 differ so far as the contact 10 was rotated 180 degrees about its longitudinal axis.
  • the plug contact 10 according to the invention can be analogous to the contact in FIG. 1 in a conductor connection portion 11, a first coupling portion 12 and a plug portion 13 divide.
  • the plug-in section 13 directed downwards from the first coupling section 12 comprises the same contact fingers 14, which are already in FIG. 1 are shown and described, which originate from a common origin 15. Even with the contact according to the invention, the contact finger 114A is supplemented by a contact tip 16, which leads in the direction of insertion opposite the contact finger 14. Thus, the finger 14A in the contact according to the invention is longer than the contact finger 14B.
  • the first coupling portion 12 is part of a mounting frame 17, which defines a channel open in the direction of insertion and thus extends transversely to the direction of insertion.
  • the mounting frame 17 forms two in the opposite direction to the coupling portion 12 springing mounting arms 18, which extend transversely to the direction of insertion and are merged with their ends in a second coupling portion 19. Since the plug contact 10 is a stamped and bent part, the mounting arm 18A is formed in two parts, whereas the mounting arm 18B is in one piece.
  • the mounting frame 17 can be used in many ways. First, it is conceivable that the plug-in contact 10 is mounted by means of the mounting frame in a contact carrier, wherein the mounting frame 17, for example, frictional, force, or positively engage around a contact carrier side retaining pin.
  • the mounting frame 17 is used to carry more, the plug-in contact 10 with advantageous properties to equip components.
  • two conductor connection components 20 can be arranged in the region of the conductor connection section 11 by means of the mounting frame 17, wherein a first conductor connection component 20 corresponds to the first Coupling section 12 and a second conductor connection component 20 the second coupling portion 19 springs.
  • the in the FIGS. 2 to 7 illustrated contact 10 uses this advantage to provide a first insulation displacement fork 21 and a second insulation displacement fork 22 and thus to ensure a higher contact reliability and a better electrical transition in the contacting of terminal leads, not shown.
  • the second coupling portion 19 also originates in the insertion direction, a stabilizing part 23 which cooperates with a corresponding recess in a contact carrier.
  • a stabilizing part 23 which cooperates with a corresponding recess in a contact carrier.
  • it is designed as a stabilizing fork 24, whose fork arms additionally carry outwardly pointing thickenings, by means of which the stabilizing fork 24 is held in a corresponding contact carrier recess.
  • the stabilizing member 23 acts initially upon insertion of the plug-in contact 10 according to the invention by imposing on the plug-in contact 10 and in particular its plug-in section 13 an ideal position tolerating only finished tolerances.
  • the stabilizing member 23 also acts on the placement of a connector on a circuit board by the asymmetric shape of the contact fingers 14A and 14B owed lateral forces intercept and prevents tilting of the plug contact 10 within the contact carrier during the insertion process.
  • the stabilizing part 23 also has another function. It carries a locking cam 26 and may itself have spring return elastic properties. With the aid of the latching cam, the plug contact 10 can be held by a suitable counterpart component on the side of the contact carrier, for example in a pre-assembly position which prepares the connector 10 itself for contacting the leads.
  • the mounting frame 17 carries fasteners 27 in the form of hook portions 28.
  • Each hook portion 28 is disposed on a mounting arm 18a, b opposite to the direction of insertion and serves the pressure and / or tensile anchoring of the plug contact 10 in a contact carrier.
  • FIGS. 4 to 7 a connector 40 for contacting a circuit board 80 is shown.
  • the connector 40 consists of a contact carrier 41 with conductor insertion channels 42, locking holes 43 and Vorrastö réelleen 44. In the insertion direction hurry the contact carrier 41 Spreekapfen 45 before, which serve to secure the connector 40 on the circuit board 80.
  • Locking profiles 46 cooperate with locking webs 47 of a securing hood 48.
  • FIG. 4 moreover, shows a series of plug contacts 10 according to the invention, which are provided for arrangement in the contact carrier 41.
  • the exemplary printed circuit board 80 has different openings. These include first Codierbohrungen 81 which cooperate with the coding pins 50, mounting holes 82 which receive the Spreizzapfen 45 of the contact carrier 41 and contact holes 83, in which the contact fingers 14 of the plug contacts 10 engage.
  • the contacts 10 are first inserted into a preassembly in the contact carrier 41. In this hold the locking cam 26 in the pre-locking openings 44 of the contact carrier 41. In this pre-assembly position, the insulation displacement forks 21/22 are located below the conductor insertion channels 42.
  • the securing hood 48 can be fixed by engagement of the locking webs in the leading direction in the insertion direction locking profile 46 on the contact carrier 41.
  • connector 40 is now provided with connecting conductors, which are inserted into the conductor insertion channels 42.
  • the plug contacts 10 are further inserted against the insertion direction in the contact carrier 41, wherein the locking cam 26 engage in the locking holes 43.
  • the Scheid-Klemm forks 21/22 dive into the conductor insertion channels 42 and cut through the insulation of the connecting conductors, resulting in an electrical contact.
  • the hook parts 28 engage in corresponding contours on the sides of the contact carrier 41 and hold the plug contacts 10 zugêt and possibly pressure-proof in the contact carrier 41.
  • the fuse cap 48 even after the insertion of the connecting conductors and moving the plug contacts of their pre-assembly in its final position respectively.
  • the ready-made connector 40 is in FIG. 5 represented and placed on the circuit board 80.
  • the representation of the connecting conductors has been dispensed with.
  • the coding pins 50 are aligned with the Kodierbohritch 81 in alignment. If the number and orientation of the coding pins 50 does not coincide with the number and orientation of the coding holes 81, it is not possible to place the connector 40 on the printed circuit board 80, so that the subsequent contacting operation can not take place either. If the coding pins 50 engage in the coding bore 81 of the printed circuit board, the expansion pins 45 are arranged above the fastening bores 82. Likewise, the plug contacts 10 are arranged above the contact holes 43.
  • the contact carrier 41 For contacting the plug contacts 10 with the contact holes 83, the contact carrier 41 is now pressed in the insertion direction in the securing cap 48. In this process, the contact fingers 14 of the contacts 10 dive into the contact holes 83. The expansion pins 45 reach into the fastening bores 82. The expansion bolts 49 of the securing hood 48 cooperate with the expansion journals 45 in order to ensure a rear grip thereof under the underside of the printed circuit board 80. This contact position of the connector 40 in the circuit board 80 is in FIG. 6 shown.
  • FIG. 7 is clearly visible here on the one hand, the engagement of the contact fingers 14 in the contact holes 83, as well as the Einsitzen Spreizzapfen 45 in the mounting holes 82. Also shown as the expansion pin 49 with the Spreizzapfen 45 interact.
  • the mounting frame 17 provides the basic prerequisite to create a significantly expandable in terms of functionality plug contact 10.
