Description

Elektrischer Steckverbinder  Electrical connector
Beschreibung description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckverbinder gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . The invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
Elektrische Steckverbinder dienen der Herstellung elektrischer Kontakte zwischen einem elektrischen Gerät oder einer Leiterplatte (beispielsweise einem PCB, Prin- ted Circuit Board) und einem externen Verbindungsmittel, wie beispielsweise einem Stecker. Dazu sind dem Steckverbinder oftmals eine Vielzahl von elektrische Anschlüsse bildende Pins zugeordnet. Über jeden einzelnen Pin des Steckverbinders ist jeweils durch einen Leiter ein einzelner Kontakt auf der Leiterplatte ansteuerbar. Electrical connectors are used to make electrical contacts between an electrical device or a printed circuit board (such as a PCB, Printed Circuit Board) and an external connection means, such as a plug. For this purpose, the connector is often associated with a plurality of electrical connections forming pins. About each pin of the connector is a single contact on the circuit board can be controlled by a conductor.
Es sind elektrische Steckverbinder bekannt, bei denen die Installation der Vielzahl von Pins aufgrund des eingeschränkten Platzes schwierig und somit zeitaufwendig ist. Aus DE 10 2006 062 313 ist beispielsweise bekannt, dass eine Anordnung von Steckerpins, die über Leiterbahnen einer Anschlussseite zugeordnet sind, in eine Steckerleiste hineingeschoben wird. Dieses Hineinschieben der Anordnung von Steckerpins in eine Vergusswanne bedarf eines großen Aufwands und ist somit zeitaufwendig und kostenintensiv. There are known electrical connectors in which the installation of the plurality of pins is difficult and therefore time-consuming due to the limited space. From DE 10 2006 062 313, for example, it is known that an arrangement of connector pins, which are assigned via conductor tracks of a connection side, is pushed into a connector strip. This insertion of the arrangement of connector pins in a Vergusswanne requires a lot of effort and is therefore time consuming and costly.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Steckverbinder besteht darin, dass die Pins der Steckverbinder sehr anfällig für Vibrationen sowie extreme Temperaturen sind. So kann es beispielsweise vorkommen, dass in Einrichtungen, die verstärkten Vibrationen ausgesetzt sind, sich ein Pin im Steckverb- inder löst und es zu einem fehlerhaften Kontakt bzw. Kurzschluss in dem Steckverbinder kommt. Ein ähnliches Risiko besteht bei hohen bzw. niedrigen Temperaturen. Durch lokale Verspannungen des Materials können sich einzelne Pins im Steckverbinder lösen, wodurch zusätzlich zu dem oben genannten Nachteil Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz in den Steckverbinder eindringen kann. Another disadvantage of the connectors known from the prior art is that the pins of the connectors are very susceptible to vibrations and extreme temperatures. For example, in equipment subject to increased vibration, a pin in the connector and triggers a faulty contact or short circuit in the connector. A similar risk exists at high or low temperatures. Due to local stresses of the material, individual pins in the connector can be solved, which in addition to the above-mentioned disadvantage, moisture and dirt can penetrate into the connector.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektrischen Steckverbinder zu schaffen, der einfach herstellbar und sehr robust gegenüber mechanischer und thermischer Umwelteinflüsse ist. Proceeding from this, the invention has for its object to provide an electrical connector that is easy to manufacture and very robust against mechanical and thermal environmental influences.
Ein elektrischer Steckverbinder zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf. Demnach ist es vorgesehen, dass bei dem erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinder in einem Anschlussteil eine Vielzahl von Pins angeordnet ist, wobei die Pins durch jeweils einen Leiter mit Kontakten einer Kontaktleiste, welche insbesondere in einem Gehäuse angeordnet ist, elektrisch verbindbar sind. Erfindungsgemäß ist dabei wenigstens ein Leiter in einem Stanzgitter angeordnet und das Stanzgitter ist in einem Halter fest angeordnet. Durch diese Anordnung des mindestens einen Leiter aufweisenden Stanzgitters in einem Halter gestaltet sich die Leiteranordnung als sehr kompakt und robust. Mechanische Vibrationen an dem Leiter werden durch den Halter absorbiert. Aus produktionstechnischer Sicht kann der Halter auch als Halbzeug bezeichnet werden. An electrical connector for solving this problem has the features of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided that in the electrical connector according to the invention in a connector part a plurality of pins is arranged, wherein the pins are electrically connectable by a respective conductor with contacts of a contact strip, which is arranged in particular in a housing. According to the invention, at least one conductor is arranged in a stamped grid and the stamped grid is fixedly arranged in a holder. This arrangement of the at least one conductor having stamped grid in a holder, the conductor arrangement designed as very compact and robust. Mechanical vibrations on the conductor are absorbed by the holder. From a production point of view, the holder can also be referred to as a semi-finished product.
Eine weitere Ausführungsmöglichkeit der Erfindung kann es vorsehen, dass das mindestens eine Stanzgitter in dem Halter fest eingegossen, vorzugsweise umspritzt ist, insbesondere das Stanzgitter vor dem Eingießen bzw. Umspritzen in dem Halter montiert ist. Der Halter kann somit einen rahmenartigen Körper oder Quader bilden, indem die Leiter angeordnet sind. Durch dieses Eingießen des Stanzgitters erfolgt eine sehr kompakte und einfach zu handhabbare Anordnung der Leiter. Nachdem die Leiter in dem Halter eingegossen sind, kann eine die Pins und/oder die Leiter verbindende Stanzbrücke des Stanzgitters entfernt werden. A further possible embodiment of the invention may provide that the at least one stamped grid is firmly cast in the holder, preferably encapsulated, in particular the stamped grid is mounted in the holder prior to casting or encapsulation. The holder can thus form a frame-like body or cuboid by the conductors are arranged. This pouring of the stamped grid is a very compact and easy to handle arrangement of the ladder. After the conductors are embedded in the holder, a punch bridge of the stamped grid connecting the pins and / or the conductors can be removed.
Die vorliegende Erfindung kann es weiter vorsehen, dass mindestens ein Pin und/oder mindestens ein Leiter und/oder mindestens ein Kontakt aus dem mindestens einem Stanzgitter gebildet sind, insbesondere jeweils ein Pin mit einem Leiter und einem Kontakt einstückig aus dem mindestens einem Stanzgitter gebildet sind. Somit wird ein einstückiges Leiterstück bestehend aus einem Pin, einem Leiter und einem Kontakt aus dem Stanzgitter ausgestanzt und in dem Halter angeordnet. Dabei kann es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, dass die Pins mit dem Halter fest verbunden sind, insbesondere in den Halter eingegossen oder eingespritzt sind. Durch diese Einstückigkeit des Leiterstücks und die Einbettung in den Halter gestaltet sich die Herstellung des Steckverbinders als äußerst einfach. The present invention may further provide that at least one pin and / or at least one conductor and / or at least one contact are formed from the at least one stamped grid, in particular in each case a pin with a conductor and a contact are formed integrally from the at least one stamped grid. Thus, a one-piece conductor piece consisting of a pin, a conductor and a contact punched out of the stamped grid and arranged in the holder. It can be inventively provided that the pins are firmly connected to the holder, in particular cast or injected into the holder. By this one-piece piece of the conductor piece and the embedding in the holder, the production of the connector designed as extremely simple.
Weiter sieht es die Erfindung vor, dass mehrere Stanzgitter, die jeweils nebeneinander angeordnete Pins und Leiter und Kontakte aufweisen, in dem Halter übereinander angeordnet, insbesondere eingegossen bzw. umspritzt, sind, um mehrere Reihen von Pins und Leiter und Kontakte zu bilden. Es ist darüberhinaus denkbar, dass durch die Stanzgitter eine beliebige Anordnung der Pins realisierbar ist. Werden die einzelnen Stanzgitter übereinander angeordnet, weisen sie jeweils zueinander einen genügend großen Abstand auf, so dass die Pins bzw. die Leitungen bzw. die Kontakte sich untereinander nicht stören bzw. keine Durchschläge erfolgen. Next, the invention provides that a plurality of leadframes, each having juxtaposed pins and conductors and contacts arranged in the holder one above the other, in particular cast or molded, are to form a plurality of rows of pins and conductors and contacts. It is also conceivable that an arbitrary arrangement of the pins can be realized by the stamped grid. If the individual stamped grids are arranged one above the other, they each have a sufficiently large distance between them, so that the pins or the lines or the contacts do not interfere with one another or no breakdowns occur.
Bevorzugt kann es die vorliegende Erfindung weiter vorsehen, dass der Halter mit dem mindestens einen Stanzgitter mit dem Anschlussteil und/oder dem Gehäuse verbindbar ist, insbesondere mit dem Anschlussteil und/oder dem Gehäuse in eine rastende Verbindung bringbar ist, vorzugsweise mit dem Anschlussteil und/oder dem Gehäuse vergießbar, insbesondere verspritzbar oder verklebbar ist. Der Halter stellt mit dem Stanzgitter bzw. mit den fest zugeordneten Pins, den Leitern und den Kontakten ein einstückiges Teil dar, das beim Zusammensetzen des Steckverbinders mit den weiteren Teilen zusammenbringbar ist. So ist der die Pins aufweisende Halter mit dem Anschlussteil des Steckverbinders zusammensteckbar. Preferably, the present invention can further provide that the holder can be connected to the at least one stamped grid with the connection part and / or the housing, in particular with the connection part and / or the housing can be brought into a latching connection, preferably with the connection part and / or castable to the housing, in particular can be sprayed or glued. The holder is the punched grid or with the dedicated pins, the conductors and the contacts an integral part, which is zusammenbringbar when assembling the connector with the other parts. Thus, the holder having the pins can be plugged together with the connection part of the connector.
Eine weitere Ausführungsalternative kann es vorsehen, dass der Halter in das Gehäuse eines elektrischen Geräts bzw. durch das Gehäuse in das Anschlussteil gesteckt wird. Durch die feste Zuordnung der Pins zu dem Halter gestaltet sich die Pinanordnung als sehr kompakt und einfach handhabbar. Insbesondere kann es die vorliegende Erfindung des Weiteren vorsehen, dass die Kontaktleiste dem Stanzgitter entkoppelt von dem Gehäuse und/oder dem Anschlussteil zugeordnet ist, insbesondere dass der Kontaktleiste eine Leiterplatte bzw. eine gedruckte Leiterplatte zugeordnet ist. Durch das Entkoppeln der Kontaktleiste von dem Gehäuse bzw. von dem Anschlussteil sind sämtliche mechanische Stoßeinwirkungen bzw. Vibrationen von der Kontaktleiste entkoppelt. Somit kann durch das Entkoppeln der Kontaktleiste von dem Gehäuse und/oder dem Anschlussteil eine mechanische Resistenz gegen Vibrationen geschaffen werden. Bei der Leiterplatte kann es sich alternativ auch um einen beliebige Kontakte aufweisenden Schaltkreis eines elektrischen Gerätes handeln. A further alternative embodiment may provide that the holder is inserted into the housing of an electrical device or through the housing into the connection part. Due to the fixed assignment of the pins to the holder, the pin arrangement designed as very compact and easy to handle. In particular, the present invention may further provide that the contact strip is associated with the stamped grid decoupled from the housing and / or the connecting part, in particular that the contact strip is associated with a printed circuit board or a printed circuit board. By decoupling the contact strip from the housing or from the connection part, all mechanical impacts or vibrations are decoupled from the contact strip. Thus, by decoupling the contact strip from the housing and / or the connection part, a mechanical resistance to vibrations can be created. The printed circuit board can alternatively also be any circuit of an electrical device having any contacts.
Eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsmöglichkeit besteht darin, dass die Kontakte bzw. das Stanzgitter zumindest teilweise in der Kontaktleiste eingegossen, insbesondere umspritzt oder eingestanzt oder eingepresst oder eingeschweißt ist. Dadurch wird eine durchgehende, konstante Verbindung zwischen der Kontaktleiste und den Pins geschaffen. Durch diese Einstückigkeit der Pins, der Leiter und der Kontakte gestaltet sich der Steckverbinder bzw. die Kontaktie- rung als extrem robust. Die Art der Verbindung zwischen dem Leiter und dem Pin bzw. dem Kontakt wird durch das Material der Bestandteile bzw. der Art der Herstellung bestimmt. Des Weiteren kann sich gemäß den Anforderungen an die elektrische Steckverbindung die Art der Kontaktierung ändern. Another embodiment of the invention is that the contacts or the lead frame at least partially cast in the contact strip, in particular encapsulated or stamped or pressed or welded. This creates a continuous, constant connection between the contact strip and the pins. This one-piece design of the pins, the conductors and the contacts makes the connector or the contacting extremely robust. The type of connection between the conductor and the pin or the contact is determined by the material of the components or the method of manufacture. Furthermore, the type of contact can change according to the requirements of the electrical connector.
Des Weiteren kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Stanzgitter im Bereich der Leiter jeweils eine Zugentlastung aufweist, insbesondere die Zugentlastungen mäander- förmig geformt sind, vorzugsweise dass die Zugentlastungen mäanderförmig aus dem Stanzgitter ausgestanzt sind. Diese mäanderförmige Zugentlastung stellt eine Art Federelement dar, welche relative Bewegungen zwischen dem Pin und dem Kontakt bzw. zwischen dem Halbzeug und der Kontaktleiste ausgleichen bzw. abfedern kann. Diese mäanderförmige Ausgestaltung der Leiter sowie deren Befestigung in dem Halter bzw. an der Kontaktleiste führen zu einer widerstandsfähigen elektrischen Verbindung in dem Steckverbinder. Furthermore, it can be provided that the stamped grid in the region of the ladder in each case has a strain relief, in particular the strain reliefs are shaped meander-shaped, preferably that the strain reliefs are punched out of the stamped grid in a meandering manner. This meandering strain relief is a kind of spring element which can compensate or cushion relative movements between the pin and the contact or between the semifinished product and the contact strip. This meandering configuration of the conductors and their attachment in the holder or on the contact strip lead to a robust electrical connection in the connector.
Die Erfindung kann es vorsehen, dass die mäanderförmigen Zugentlastungen parallel zu einer Stanzebene des Stanzgitters ausgerichtet sind. Darüberhinaus kann es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, dass die Leiter eines Stanzgitters zwischen den Pins und den Kontakten parallel zueinander angeordnet sind, insbesondere dass die Zugentlastung parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Die parallele Anordnung der Leiter ist insofern vorteilhaft, da somit eine Kontaktierung der einzelnen Leiter vermieden wird. Da sich die Enden aller Leiter in dem Halter bzw. an der gemeinsamen starren Kontaktleiste befinden, bewegen sich die Leiter bei einer relativen Bewegung zwischen Halter und Kontaktleiste gleichermaßen. Die Bildung eines Kurzschlusses durch zumindest kurzzeitige Berührung von Leitern kann somit vermieden werden. Es ist erfindungsgemäß jedoch auch denkbar, dass die Leiter nicht parallel, insbesondere beliebig zueinander, angeordnet sind. The invention can provide that the meander-shaped strain reliefs are aligned parallel to a punch plane of the stamped grid. In addition, can It may be provided according to the invention that the conductors of a stamped grid are arranged parallel to one another between the pins and the contacts, in particular that the strain relief are arranged parallel to one another. The parallel arrangement of the conductors is advantageous insofar as thus a contacting of the individual conductors is avoided. Since the ends of all conductors are in the holder or on the common rigid contact strip, the conductors move in a relative movement between the holder and contact strip alike. The formation of a short circuit by at least short-term contact of conductors can thus be avoided. It is according to the invention, however, also conceivable that the conductors are not parallel, in particular arbitrarily to each other, are arranged.
Die Erfindung kann es weiter vorsehen, dass das Stanzgitter an den Übergängen von den Pins zu den Leitern sowie von den Leitern zu den Kontakten gebogen ist, insbesondere jeweils Auslenkungen aus der Stanzebene aufweist. Durch diese Auslenkungen lassen sich die Pins bzw. die Leiter die verschiedenen, übereinander angeordneten Stanzgitter zugeordnet sind auf die gleiche Ebene der Kontaktleiste bringen. Je nach Positionierung der einzelnen Stanzgitter in dem Halter fällt die Auslenkung unterschiedlich stark aus. Für die an oberster Stelle angeordneten Stanzgitter ist die Auslenkung zwischen Pin und Leiter bzw. zwischen Leiter und Kontakt am stärksten; wohingegen die Auslenkung für an unterster Stelle angeordneten Stanzgitter am geringsten ist. Die Herstellung der Auslenkungen an den einzelnen Stanzgittern erfolgt vor dem Eingießen in den Halter, kann aber auch nach dem Eingießen in den Halter erfolgen. The invention can further provide that the stamped grid is bent at the transitions from the pins to the conductors and from the conductors to the contacts, in particular in each case has deflections from the punching plane. Due to these deflections, the pins or the conductors which are assigned to the different stamped gratings arranged one above the other can be brought to the same level of the contact strip. Depending on the positioning of the individual stamped grid in the holder, the deflection is different strong. For the punched grid located at the top, the deflection between pin and conductor or between conductor and contact is the strongest; whereas the deflection is lowest for stamped grid located at the bottom. The production of the deflections to the individual punched screens takes place before pouring into the holder, but can also be done after pouring into the holder.
Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. In dieser zeigen: A preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. In this show:
Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines elektrischen Steckverbinders, 1 is a perspective view of an electrical connector,
Fig. 2 eine Schnittdarstellung durch den elektrischen Steckverbinder, und Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the electrical connector, and
Fig. 3 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Halters. Um ein elektrisches Gerät bzw. die Schaltkreise der elektrischen Geräte mit einem externen Gerät bzw. Stecker zu verbinden, kann das elektrische Gerät einen elektrischen Steckverbinder 10 aufweisen. Der in der Fig. 1 dargestellte elektrische Steckverbinder 10 ist in einem Gehäuse 11 eines nur angedeuteten elektrischen Gerätes angeordnet. Für die Aufnahme eines nicht dargestellten externen Verbindungsmittels weist der elektrische Steckverbinder 10 ein Anschlussteil 12 auf. Dieses Anschlussteil 12 erstreckt sich durch eine Wandung 13 in das Gehäuse 1 1 des elektrischen Geräts. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a holder. In order to connect an electrical device or the circuits of the electrical devices to an external device or plug, the electrical device may have an electrical connector 10. The illustrated in FIG. 1 electrical connector 10 is disposed in a housing 11 of an only indicated electrical device. For receiving an external connection means, not shown, the electrical connector 10 has a connection part 12. This connection part 12 extends through a wall 13 in the housing 1 1 of the electrical device.
Über eine Vielzahl von in einem Raster angeordneten Pins 14 lässt sich das externe Verbindungsmittel über den Pins 14 zugeordnete Leiter 15 mit einer Leiterplatte 18 verbinden (Fig. 1 , Fig. 2). Via a plurality of arranged in a grid pins 14, the external connection means via the pins 14 associated conductor 15 with a circuit board 18 connect (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).
Bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Pins 14 in mehreren Reihen in dem elektrischen Steckverbinder 10 angeordnet. Die gehäuseseitigen Enden der Pins 14 gehen jeweils einstückig in einen Leiter 15 über. Diese Leiter 15 gehen jeweils, ebenfalls einstückig, in einen Kontakt 16 über, der einer Kontaktleiste 17 zugeordnet ist. Über diese Kontaktleiste 17 wird der elektrische Kontakt eines jeden Pins 14 mit der Leiterplatte 18 hergestellt (Fig. 1 ). In the embodiment shown here, the pins 14 are arranged in a plurality of rows in the electrical connector 10. The housing-side ends of the pins 14 are each in one piece in a conductor 15 via. These conductors 15 each go, also in one piece, into a contact 16, which is associated with a contact strip 17. Via this contact strip 17, the electrical contact of each pin 14 with the printed circuit board 18 is produced (FIG. 1).
Die Leiter 15 beschreiben zwischen den Pins 14 und den Kontakten 16 eine mä- anderförmige Zugentlastung 21 (Fig. 3). Diese Zugentlastungen 21 verlaufen für die Pins 14, die in einer Reihe angeordnet sind, nebeneinander. Dadurch, dass das hier dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel eines elektrischen Steckverbinders 10 mehrere Reihen von Pins 14 aufweist, befinden sich mehrere mäanderförmige Leiter 15 parallel versetzt übereinander (Fig. 3). Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Anordnung der Pins 14 eingeschränkt; vielmehr ist es auch denkbar, dass der Steckverbinder nur wenige Pins 14 aufweist, oder eine Vielzahl in einer beliebigen Anordnung. The conductors 15 describe a meander-shaped strain relief 21 between the pins 14 and the contacts 16 (FIG. 3). These strain reliefs 21 run side by side for the pins 14, which are arranged in a row. As a result of the exemplary embodiment of an electrical connector 10 shown here having a plurality of rows of pins 14, a plurality of meander-shaped conductors 15 are arranged offset one above the other in parallel (FIG. 3). However, the invention is not limited to the arrangement of the pins 14 shown in FIG. 3; Rather, it is also conceivable that the connector has only a few pins 14, or a plurality in any arrangement.
Die Pins 14, Leiter 15 und Kontakte 16 bilden als ein einzelnes, zusammenhängendes Teil ein Stanzgitter 19, d.h. Pins 14, Leiter 15 und Kontakte 16 werden zusammenhängend aus einem Stück ausgestanzt. Ein Stanzgitter 19 bildet jeweils eine Reihe von nebeneinander angeordneten Pins 14, Leitern 15 und Kontakten 16. Dadurch, dass die Pins 14, Leiter 15 und Kontakte 16 aus einem einzigen, zusammenhängenden Stück Material hergestellt werden, sind sie einstückig ausgebildet. Bei dem in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des Steckverbinders 10 sind drei Stanzgitter 19 übereinander angeordnet. Damit die Kontakte 16 jeweils in der Ebene der Kontaktleiste 17 liegen, weist das Stanzgitter 19, bzw. jeweils ein "Pin - Leiter - Kontakte - Triplet" zwei Auslenkungen 22 auf. Diese Auslenkungen 22 beschreiben ein Auslenken aus einer Stanzebene (Fig. 3). Je nach Positionierung der einzelnen Stanzgitter 19 fallen die Auslenkungen 22 der LeiterThe pins 14, conductors 15 and contacts 16 form as a single, contiguous part of a stamped grid 19, ie pins 14, conductors 15 and contacts 16 are punched together from a single piece. A punched grid 19 each forms a series of juxtaposed pins 14, conductors 15 and contacts 16. The fact that the pins 14, conductors 15 and contacts 16 are made of a single, contiguous piece of material, they are integrally formed. In the embodiment of the connector 10 shown in FIGS three punched grid 19 are arranged one above the other. Thus, the contacts 16 are each in the plane of the contact strip 17, the lead frame 19, or respectively a "pin - conductor - contacts - triplet" two deflections 22. These deflections 22 describe a deflection out of a punch plane (FIG. 3). Depending on the positioning of the individual punched grid 19, the deflections 22 of the conductors fall
15 unterschiedlich stark aus. 15 different strong.
Die das Stanzgitter 19, bzw. die Pins 14, Leiter 15 und Kontakte 16 sind elektrisch isoliert voneinander einem Halter 20 fest zugeordnet (Fig. 3). Der Halter 20 bildet eine quaderförmige Aufnahme und wird wenigstens teilweise um das StanzgitterThe punched grid 19, or the pins 14, conductors 15 and contacts 16 are electrically isolated from each other a holder 20 fixedly assigned (Fig. 3). The holder 20 forms a rectangular receptacle and is at least partially around the stamped grid
19 bzw. um die Pins 14 und/oder die Leiter 15 gegossen bzw. gespritzt, vorzugsweise nachdem das Stanzgitter 19 in dem Halter 20 montiert wurde. Dazu wird üblicherweise ein Kunststoff verwenden. Es kann demnach vorgesehen sein, dass das mindestens eine Stanzgitter 19 zunächst in den Halter 20 montiert wird und danach mit beispielsweise einem Kunststoff umgössen oder umspritzt wird. 19 or around the pins 14 and / or the conductors 15 are poured or sprayed, preferably after the stamped grid 19 has been mounted in the holder 20. This will usually use a plastic. It can therefore be provided that the at least one stamped grid 19 is first mounted in the holder 20 and thereafter encapsulated with, for example, a plastic or molded around.
Die Kontakte 16 sind in die Kontaktleiste 17 eingegossen, eingespritzt, eingestanzt, eingepresst oder eingeschweißt. Durch diese feste Verbindung der Kontakte 16 in die Kontaktleiste 17 bzw. der Pins 14 in den Halter 20 und durch die mä- anderförmige Ausgestaltung der Leiter 15 wird durch die vorliegende Erfindung eine robuste und widerstandsfähige Verbindung zwischen einem Verbindungsmittel und einer Leiterplatte 18 hergestellt. The contacts 16 are cast into the contact strip 17, injected, stamped, pressed or welded. As a result of this firm connection of the contacts 16 into the contact strip 17 or the pins 14 in the holder 20 and through the meander-shaped configuration of the conductors 15, the present invention produces a robust and resistant connection between a connection means and a printed circuit board 18.
Während das Stanzgitter 19 mitsamt der Leiter 15, den Pins 14 und den KontaktenWhile the lead frame 19 together with the conductor 15, the pins 14 and the contacts
16 vorgefertigt wird, wird für die Endmontage des Steckverbinders 10 der Halter16 is prefabricated, for the final assembly of the connector 10 of the holder
20 in das Anschlussteil 12 gesteckt. Dazu kann der Halter 20 und/oder das Anschlussteil 12 beispielsweise Rastelemente aufweisen. Der Halter 20 kann deshalb auch als Halbzeug bezeichnet werden. Darüber hinaus sind dem Anschlussteil 12 Öffnungen zugeordnet, die genau der Anordnung der Pins 14 entsprechen und der Aufnahme der Pins 14 dienen. Um die mechanische Verbindung zusätz- lieh zu verstärken kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der Halter 20 mit dem Anschlussteil 12 vergossen wird. 20 inserted into the connection part 12. For this purpose, the holder 20 and / or the connecting part 12, for example, have latching elements. The holder 20 can therefore also be referred to as a semi-finished product. In addition, the connection part 12 associated openings which correspond exactly to the arrangement of the pins 14 and the recording of the pins 14 are used. In addition to the mechanical connection It may be provided that the holder 20 is encapsulated with the connection part 12.
Die durch die Kontakte 16 kontaktierte Kontaktleiste 17 ist von dem Anschlussteil 12 bzw. von dem Gehäuse 1 1 entkoppelt der Leiterplatte 18 zugeordnet. Dabei kann die Kontaktleiste 17 beispielsweise auf die Leiterplatte 18 aufgeschraubt oder aufgeklemmt oder geklebt werden. The contact strip 17 contacted by the contacts 16 is assigned to the printed circuit board 18 from the connection part 12 or from the housing 1 1, respectively. In this case, the contact strip 17 can for example be screwed onto the circuit board 18 or clamped or glued.
Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel kann es vorsehen, dass das Anschlussteil 12 von außen an die Wandung 13 gesetzt wird und der Halter 20 mitsamt der Pins 14 und der Leiter 15 aus dem Inneren des Gehäuses 11 durch die Wandung 13 in das Anschlussteil 12 geschoben und gegebenenfalls vergossen wird. Auf diese Weise lässt sich der elektrische Steckverbinder 10 fest mit dem elektrischen Gerät bzw. dem Gehäuse 1 1 verbinden. A further embodiment may provide that the connecting part 12 is placed from the outside against the wall 13 and the holder 20 is pushed together with the pins 14 and the conductor 15 from the interior of the housing 11 through the wall 13 in the connection part 12 and optionally shed , In this way, the electrical connector 10 can be firmly connected to the electrical device or the housing 1 1.
Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass die vorliegende Erfindung nicht auf das hier dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung eingeschränkt ist; vielmehr ist es denkbar, dass insbesondere das Stanzgitter 19, der Halter 20 und das Anschlussteil 12 eine andere Gestalt aufweisen können bzw. die Anzahl der Pins 14 variiert. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment of the invention shown here; Rather, it is conceivable that in particular the stamped grid 19, the holder 20 and the connecting part 12 may have a different shape or the number of pins 14 varies.
