Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckkontakt zur Anbindung eines Leiters an eine Leiterplatte, welche ein Kontaktloch zur Aufnahme des Steckkontaktes aufweist, mit einem Leiteranschlussabschnitt, an welchen der Leiter anbindbar ist, mit einem Steckabschnitt, der in das Kontaktloch einführbar ist, mit einem ersten Koppelabschnitt, der den Steckabschnitt und den Leiteranschlussabschnitt miteinander verbindet, wobei der Steckabschnitt wenigstens zwei einem gemeinsamen Ursprung entspringende, federrückstellelastische Kontaktfinger aufweist.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.

Gattungsgemäße Steckkontakte werden genutzt, um in Kontaktträgern sogenannter Direktsteckverbinder eingesetzt zu werden. Als Direktsteckverbinder bezeichnet man Steckvorrichtungen, deren Kontakte Leiterabschnitte von Leiterplatten unmittelbar kontaktieren. So ist es beispielsweise im Stand der Technik seit langem bekannt, Steckverbinder unmittelbar auf den Leiterplattenrand aufzuschieben und dort endende Leiterbahnen elektrisch zu kontaktieren.Generic plug contacts are used to be used in contact carriers of so-called direct plug connector. As a direct connector is called plug-in devices whose contacts directly contact conductor sections of printed circuit boards. For example, it has long been known in the prior art to postpone connectors directly to the edge of the circuit board and to contact electrical conductors terminating there.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es darüber hinaus bekannt, Leiterbahnen mit Bohrungen zu versehen, welche eine Kontaktzone bilden und dort Anschlusskontakte einzupressen. Diese Verbindungstechnik hat den Nachteil, dass sie nicht reversibel ist.From the prior art, it is also known to provide printed conductors with holes which form a contact zone and there to press in connection contacts. This connection technique has the disadvantage that it is not reversible.

DE 10 2009 042 385 A1 beansprucht und beschreibt einen Steckkontakt, welcher dazu geeignet ist, in derartige der Kontaktierung dienende Bohrungen oder Löcher in Leiterplatten eingesetzt zu werden. Dabei ist diese Form der Kontaktierung reversibel, der Kontakt ist also ohne größeren Aufwand aus dem Kontaktloch entfernbar. Der Kontakt weist hierzu dem Koppelabschnitt entspringende, federrückstellelastische Kontaktfinger auf. Diese werden unter Aufbau einer Federrückstellkraft in das Kontaktloch eingeschoben. Die Federrückstellkraft gewährleistet einerseits den Halt des Kontaktes im Kontakt, stellt aber insbesondere eine ausreichende Anlage der gegenseitigen Kontaktzonen und somit die ausreichende elektrische Kontaktierung sicher. Auf der den Kontaktfingern abgewandten Seite entspringt dem Koppelabschnitt der Leiteranschlussabschnitt, beispielsweise ein Crimpschuh, um den Anschlussleiter am Kontakt anzuschlagen. DE 10 2009 042 385 A1 claims and describes a plug-in contact which is adapted to be used in such contacting holes or holes in printed circuit boards. In this case, this form of contacting is reversible, so the contact is removable without much effort from the contact hole. The contact has for this purpose on the coupling portion springing, spring return elastic contact fingers. These are inserted under construction of a spring restoring force in the contact hole. The spring restoring force ensured on the one hand, the hold of the contact in contact, but in particular ensures a sufficient investment of the mutual contact zones and thus the sufficient electrical contact. On the side facing away from the contact fingers, the coupling section originates from the conductor connection section, for example a crimping shoe, in order to strike the connection conductor at the contact.

Mittels der in DE 10 2009 042 385 A1 offenbarte Kontakte lassen sich Direktsteckverbinder herstellen, welche an beliebiger Stelle einer Leiterplatte - entsprechende Kontaktlöcher vorausgesetzt - reversibel aufsetzbar sind, ohne dass leiterplattenseitig ein Steckverbindergegenstück, beispielsweise eine Kontaktwanne, angebracht werden muss. Insoweit verstehen sich solche Steckverbinder als Weiterentwicklung der Einpresstechnik.By means of in DE 10 2009 042 385 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. In that regard, such connectors are understood as a further development of press-fit technology.

Darüber hinaus ist bekannt für die Kontaktierung von Leitern mit Leiterplatten Steckkontakte zu verwenden, die beispielsweise in der US 2014/0045390 A1 offenbart sind. Diese offenbart einen Tandemkontakt mit einem Koppelelement, welches in Steckrichtung zwei Steckabschnitte ausbildet, die mit den der Leiterplatte entspringenden Kontaktlöchern kooperieren.In addition, it is known for the contacting of conductors with printed circuit boards plug contacts to use, for example, in the US 2014/0045390 A1 are disclosed. This discloses a tandem contact with a coupling element, which forms two plug-in sections in the insertion direction, which cooperate with the printed circuit board resulting from the contact holes.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Kontakt für Direktsteckverbinder für die Anordnung in Kontaktträgern zu optimieren.The object of the invention is to optimize a generic contact for direct connector for the arrangement in contact carriers.

Gelöst wird die Erfindung von einem Steckkontakt mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1, insbesondere mit dessen kennzeichnenden Merkmalen, wonach der erste Koppelabschnitt Teil eines Montagerahmens ist, der einen in Steckrichtung durchgängigen Kanal umgrenzt.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.

Der Montagerahmen bietet die Möglichkeit, als Halteteil zur Festlegung des Kontaktes im Kontaktträger zu dienen. Darüber hinaus bietet der Montagerahmen jedoch den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass er als Träger weiterer Bauteile die Funktionalität des Steckkontaktes erheblich erweitert.The mounting frame offers the possibility to serve as a holding part for fixing the contact in the contact carrier. In addition, the offers Mounting frame, however, the significant advantage that it significantly extends the functionality of the plug contact as a carrier of other components.

Dazu ist zunächst vorgesehen, dass der Montagerahmen einen zweiten Koppelabschnitt ausbildet, der insbesondere dem ersten Koppelabschnitt diametral gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist. Durch die Anordnung eines zweiten, dem ersten gegenüberliegend angeordneten Koppelabschnitt ist die Voraussetzung dafür geschaffen, dass dem Montagerahmen beispielsweise ein Leiteranschlussabschnitt entspringt, der sich zwar in Gegenrichtung zum Steckabschnitt erstreckt, zu diesem jedoch einen Versatz aufweist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich zwei Leiteranschlussabschnitte für den Anschlusskontakt vorzusehen.For this purpose, it is initially provided that the mounting frame forms a second coupling section, which is arranged in particular diametrically opposite the first coupling section. By arranging a second, the first oppositely arranged coupling portion, the condition is created that the mounting frame, for example, a conductor connecting 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.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher der Montagerahmen eine Schneid-Klemm-Gabel als Leiteranschlussabschnitt trägt, die einem Koppelabschnitt entspringt, insbesondere, dass jedem Koppelabschnitt je eine Schneid-Klemm-Gabel entspringt. Die Schneidklemmtechnik hat sich für bestimmte Automatisierungsprozesse bei der Fertigung von Steckverbindern bewährt. Durch die Anordnung zweier Schneid-Klemm-Gabeln am Steckkontakt und deren Beabstandung über den Montagerahmen erhöht sich die Kontaktsicherheit zwischen Steckkontakt und Anschlussleiter erheblich.Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which 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.

Insbesondere bei einem Steckabschnitt mit asymmetrisch ausgebildeten Kontaktfingern ist es sinnvoll, wenn der Montagerahmen ein Stabilisierungsteil trägt, welches dem zweiten Koppelabschnitt insbesondere richtungsgleich zum Steckabschnitt entspringt. Dieses Stabilisierungsteil stellt eine korrekte Ausrichtung des Steckabschnittes zunächst bei der Montage des Steckkontaktes im Kontaktträger sicher. Eingesetzt in einen Kontaktträger wirkt das Stabilisierungsteil beim eigentlichen Steckvorgang zudem Querkräften entgegen, die beispielsweise durch asymmetrisch ausgebildete Kontaktfinger hervorgerufen werden.In particular, in a plug-in section with asymmetrically shaped contact fingers, it makes sense if 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. When used in a contact carrier, the stabilizing part also counteracts lateral forces during the actual plugging operation For example, be caused by asymmetrically formed contact fingers.

Konkret ist vorgesehen, dass das Stabilisierungsteil eine Stabilisierungsgabel ist, deren Arme zur Abstützung an einem Kontaktträger dienen.Specifically, it is provided that the stabilizing part is a stabilizing fork, whose arms serve to support on a contact carrier.

Es ist weiter vorgesehen, dass der Montagerahmen ein Rastelement trägt, mittels dessen die Steckvorrichtung innerhalb eines Kontaktträgers anordenbar ist. Hierbei ist insbesondere daran gedacht, dass das Rastelement ein Rastnocken ist, welcher unmittelbar vom zweiten Koppelteil ausgebildet ist oder Teil eines dem Koppelteil entspringenden Rastblattes ist.It is further provided that the mounting frame carries a latching element, by means of which the plug-in device can be arranged within a contact carrier. In this case, it is particularly thought that 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.

Auch hier zeigt der Montagerahmen wesentliche Vorteile. Das Rastelement kann unabhängig von den eigentlichen Kontaktorganen für eine optimale Montage des Kontaktes in Kontaktträger angesetzt werden.Again, the mounting frame shows significant advantages. The locking element can be recognized independently of the actual contact organs for optimal mounting of the contact in contact carrier.

Ferner ist vorgesehen, dass das Rastblatt als Stabilisierungsteil dient. Auf diese Weise wird die Bauteilanzahl reduziert, welche der Kontaktrahmen zu tragen hat.It is further provided that the detent blade serves as a stabilizing part. In this way, the number of components is reduced, which has to bear the contact frame.

Vorgesehen ist ferner, dass der Montagerahmen ein Befestigungselement trägt, mittels dessen der Steckkontakt innerhalb eines Kontaktträgers zug- und/oder druckfest verankerbar ist.It is further provided that the mounting frame carries a fastener by means of which the plug contact within a contact carrier tensile and / or pressure-resistant anchored.

Schließlich ist es denkbar, dass das Stabilisierungsteil als zweiter Steckabschnitt gebildet ist.Finally, it is conceivable that the stabilizing part is formed as a second plug-in section.

Der vom ersten Koppelabschnitt 12 nach unten gerichtete Steckabschnitt 13 umfasst dieselben Kontaktfinger 14, die bereits in Figur 1 dargestellt und beschrieben sind, welche einem gemeinsamen Ursprung 15 entstammen. Auch beim erfindungsgemäßen Kontakt ist der Kontaktfinger 114A ergänzt um einen Kontaktspitze 16, die gegenüber dem Kontaktfinger 14 in Steckrichtung voreilt. Somit ist der Finger 14A beim erfindungsgemäßen Kontakt länger als der Kontaktfinger 14B.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.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Kontakt ist der erste Koppelabschnitt 12 jedoch Teil eines Montagerahmens 17, welcher einen in Steckrichtung offenen Kanal umgrenzt und sich somit quer zur Steckrichtung erstreckt.In the contact according to the invention, however, 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.

Der Montagerahmen 17 bildet zwei in entgegengesetzte Richtung dem Koppelabschnitt 12 entspringende Montagearme 18 aus, die sich quer zur Steckrichtung erstrecken und mit ihren Enden in einem zweiten Koppelabschnitt 19 zusammengeführt sind.
Da der Steckkontakt 10 ein Stanz-Biegeteil ist, ist der Montagearm 18A zweiteilig ausgebildet, wohingegen der Montagearm 18B einstückig ist.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.

Der Montagerahmen 17 ist in vielfältiger Weise nutzbar. Zunächst ist es denkbar, dass der Steckkontakt 10 mittels des Montagerahmens in einem Kontaktträger gelagert ist, wobei der Montagerahmen 17 beispielsweise reib-, kraft-, oder formschlüssig einen kontaktträgerseitigen Haltezapfen umgreifen kann.The mounting frame 17 can be used in many ways. First, it is conceivable that the plug 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 a contact carrier side retaining pin can engage around.

In der besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dient der Montagerahmen 17 jedoch dazu, weitere, den Steckkontakt 10 mit vorteilhaften Eigenschaften ausstattende Bauteile zu tragen. Zunächst sei darauf hingewiesen, dass mittels des Montagerahmens 17 im Bereich des Leiteranschlussabschnitts 11 zwei Leiteranschlussbauteile 20 angeordnet sein können, wobei ein ersten Leiteranschlussbauteil 20 dem ersten Koppelabschnitt 12 und eine zweites Leiteranschlussbauteil 20 dem zweiten Koppelabschnitt 19 entspringt. Der in den Figuren 2 bis 7 dargestellte Kontakt 10 nutzt diesen Vorteil, um eine erste Schneid-Klemm-Gabel 21 und eine zweite Schneid-Klemm-Gabel 22 bereitzustellen und somit bei der Kontaktierung von nicht dargestellten Anschlussleitern eine höhere Kontaktsicherheit und einen besseren elektrischen Übergang zu gewährleisten.In the particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, however, the mounting frame 17 is used to carry more, the plug-in contact 10 with advantageous properties to equip components. It should first be pointed out that 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 originates from the first coupling section 12 and a second conductor connection component 20 from the second coupling section 19. 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.

Dem zweiten Koppelabschnitt 19 entspringt ebenfalls in Steckrichtung ein Stabilisierungsteil 23, welches mit einer korrespondierenden Ausnehmung in einem Kontaktträger zusammenwirkt. Vorliegend ist es als Stabilisierungsgabel 24 ausgebildet, deren Gabelarme zusätzlich nach außen weisende Verdickungen tragen, mittels derer die Stabilisierungsgabel 24 in einer korrespondierenden Kontaktträgerausnehmung gehalten ist.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. In the present case, 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.

Das Stabilisierungsteil 23 wirkt zunächst beim Einschieben des erfindungsgemäßen Steckkontaktes 10, indem es dem Steckkontakt 10 und insbesondere dessen Steckabschnitt 13 eine lediglich Fertigtoleranzen tolerierende Ideallage aufzwingt.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.

Das Stabilisierungsteil 23 wirkt jedoch auch beim Aufsetzung eines Steckverbinders auf eine Leiterplatte, indem es die der asymmetrischen Formgebung der Kontaktfinger 14A und 14B geschuldeten Querkräfte abfängt und ein Verkippen des Steckkontaktes 10 innerhalb des Kontaktträgers beim Steckvorgang verhindert.However, the stabilizing member 23 acts also on the placement of a connector on a circuit board, by the asymmetric shaping of the contact fingers 14A and 14B owed lateral forces intercepts and prevents tilting of the plug contact 10 within the contact carrier during the insertion process.

Das Stabilisierungsteil 23 hat darüber hinaus eine weitere Funktion. Es trägt einen Rastnocken 26 und kann selbst federrückstellelastische Eigenschaften aufweisen. Mit Hilfe des Rastnockens kann der Steckkontakt 10 durch ein geeignetes Gegenbauteil auf Seiten des Kontaktträgers beispielsweise in einer Vormontagestellung gehalten werden, welche den Steckverbinder 10 selbst für die Kontaktierung der Anschlussleitungen vorbereitet.The stabilizing part 23 also has another function. It carries a locking cam 26 and may itself have spring return elastic properties. With the help of the locking cam of the plug contact 10 can be held by a suitable mating component on the part of the contact carrier, for example, in a pre-assembly, which prepares the connector 10 itself for contacting the leads.

Schließlich trägt der Montagerahmen 17 Befestigungselemente 27 in Form von Hakenteilen 28. Je ein Hakenteil 28 ist auf einem Montagearm 18a,b entgegen der Steckrichtung angeordnet und dient der druck- und/oder zugfesten Verankerung des Steckkontakts 10 in einem Kontaktträger.Finally, 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.

In den Figuren 4 bis 7 ist ein Steckverbinder 40 zur Kontaktierung einer Leiterplatte 80 dargestellt. Der Steckverbinder 40 besteht aus einem Kontaktträger 41 mit Leitereinschubkanälen 42, Rastbohrungen 43 sowie Vorrastöffnungen 44. In Steckrichtung eilen dem Kontaktträger 41 Spreizzapfen 45 vor, die der Befestigung des Steckverbinders 40 auf der Leiterplatte 80 dienen. Rastprofile 46 wirken mit Raststegen 47 einer Sicherungshaube 48 zusammen.In the 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 Vorrastöffnungen 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.

Die Sicherungshaube 48 verfügt ihrerseits über Spreizbolzen 49 sowie über Kodierstifte 50. Mittels Hakenteilen 51 können mehrere Steckverbinder 40 untereinander zu einer Steckverbinderkette zusammengefügt werden. Figur 4 zeigt darüber hinaus eine Reihe erfindungsgemäßer Steckkontakte 10, welche zur Anordnung im Kontaktträger 41 vorgesehen sind.The securing hood 48 in turn has expansion bolts 49 as well as coding pins 50. By means of hook parts 51, a plurality of plug connectors 40 can be joined together to form a connector chain. FIG. 4 moreover, shows a series of plug contacts 10 according to the invention, which are provided for arrangement in the contact carrier 41.

Die exemplarisch dargestellte Leiterplatte 80 verfügt über verschiedene Öffnungen. Hierzu zählen zunächst Kodierbohrungen 81, die mit den Kodierstiften 50 zusammenwirken, Befestigungsbohrungen 82, welche die Spreizzapfen 45 des Kontaktträgers 41 aufnehmen sowie Kontaktlöcher 83, in welche die Kontaktfinger 14 der Steckkontakte 10 eingreifen.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.

Bei der Montage des Steckverbinders werden die Kontakte 10 zunächst in eine Vormontagestelle in den Kontaktträger 41 eingeschoben. In dieser halten die Rastnocken 26 in den Vorrastöffnungen 44 des Kontaktträgers 41. In dieser Vormontagestellung befinden sich die Schneid-Klemm-Gabeln 21/22 unterhalb der Leitereinschubkanäle 42.During assembly of the connector, the contacts 10 are first inserted into a preassembly in the contact carrier 41. In this hold the locking cam 26 in the Vorrastöffnungen 44 of the contact carrier 41. In this pre-assembly, the insulation displacement forks are 21/22 below the conductor insertion channels 42nd

In einem nächsten Montageschritt kann die Sicherungshaube 48 durch Eingriff der Raststege in das in Steckrichtung voreilende Rastprofil 46 am Kontaktträger 41 festgelegt werden. Der auf diese Weise vormontierte Steckverbinder 40 wird nunmehr mit Anschlussleitern versehen, die in die Leitereinschubkanäle 42 eingesetzt werden.In a next assembly step, 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. The pre-assembled in this way connector 40 is now provided with connecting conductors, which are inserted into the conductor insertion channels 42.

Sodann werden die Steckkontakte 10 entgegen der Steckrichtung weiter in den Kontaktträger 41 eingeschoben, wobei die Rastnocken 26 in die Rastbohrungen 43 eingreifen. Die Scheid-Klemm-Gabeln 21/22 tauchen in die Leitereinschubkanäle 42 ein und durchtrennen die Isolierung der Anschlussleiter, wodurch es zu einer elektrischen Kontaktierung kommt. Die Hakenteile 28 greifen in korrespondierende Konturen auf Seiten des Kontaktträgers 41 ein und halten die Steckkontakte 10 zug- und ggf. drucksicher im Kontaktträger 41. Wahlweise kann die Sicherungshaube 48 auch nach dem Einsetzen der Anschlussleiter und dem Verschieben der Steckkontakte von ihrer Vormontagestellung in ihre Endlage erfolgen.Then, 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 zugsicher and possibly pressure-proof in the contact carrier 41. Alternatively, 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.

Der fertig konfektionierte Steckverbinder 40 ist in Figur 5 dargestellt und auf die Leiterplatte 80 aufgesetzt. Auf die Darstellung der Anschlussleiter wurde aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit verzichtet. Beim Aufsetzen des Steckverbinders 40 auf die Leiterplatte 80 sind die Kodierstifte 50 mit den Kodierbohrungen 81 fluchtend auszurichten. Sofern die Anzahl und Ausrichtung der Kodierstifte 50 nicht mit Anzahl und Ausrichtung der Kodierbohrungen 81 übereinstimmt ist ein Aufsetzen des Steckverbinders 40 auf die Leiterplatte 80 nicht möglich, so dass auch der nachfolgende Kontaktiervorgang nicht erfolgen kann. Sofern die Kodierstifte 50 in die Kodierbohrung 81 der Leiterplatte eingreifen sind die Spreizzapfen 45 oberhalb der Befestigungsbohrungen 82 angeordnet. Ebenso sind die Steckkontakte 10 oberhalb der Kontaktlöcher 43 angeordnet.The ready-made connector 40 is in FIG. 5 represented and placed on the circuit board 80. For the sake of clarity, the representation of the connecting conductors has been dispensed with. When placing the Connector 40 on the circuit board 80, the coding pins 50 are aligned with the Kodierbohrungen 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.

Zur Kontaktierung der Steckkontakte 10 mit den Kontaktlöchern 83 wird nunmehr der Kontaktträger 41 in Steckrichtung in die Sicherungshaube 48 eingedrückt. Bei diesem Vorgang tauchen die Kontaktfinger 14 der Kontakte 10 in die Kontaktlöcher 83 ein. Die Spreizzapfen 45 gelangen in die Befestigungsbohrungen 82. Die Spreizbolzen 49 der Sicherungshaube 48 kooperieren mit den Spreizzapfen 45 um einen Hintergriff selbiger unter die Unterseite der Leiterplatte 80 zu gewährleisten. Diese Kontaktstellung des Steckverbinders 40 in der Leiterplatte 80 ist in Figur 6 gezeigt.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.

Figur 7 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung durch den in Kontaktstellung befindlichen Steckverbinder 40. Deutlich sichtbar ist hier zum einen der Eingriff der Kontaktfinger 14 in die Kontaktlöcher 83, ebenso wie das Einsitzen der Spreizzapfen 45 in den Befestigungsbohrungen 82. Auch ist dargestellt, wie die Spreizbolzen 49 mit den Spreizzapfen 45 zusammenwirken. 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.

Zusammenfassend zeigt die Beschreibung des Ausführungsbeispiels insbesondere im Vergleich zu dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Steckkontakt 110, welche vielfältigen Vorteile mit dem erfindungsgemäß am Steckkontakt 10 angeordneten Montagerahmen 17 verwirklicht werden können. Auf diese Weise bietet der Montagerahmen 17 die Grundvoraussetzung, einen hinsichtlich seiner Funktionalität deutlich erweiterbaren Steckkontakt 10 zu schaffen.In summary, the description of the embodiment, in particular in comparison to the in FIG. 1 plug contact 110 shown, which various advantages with the invention according to the invention arranged on the plug contact 10 mounting frame 17 can be realized. In this way, the mounting frame 17 provides the Basic requirement to create a significantly expandable in terms of its functionality plug contact 10.
