  • the direct plug connector according to the invention makes it possible to provide a reliable, easy-to-operate, secure hold and at the same time easy to manufacture latching device. Since the latching arm is integrally connected to the housing, the housing and latching arm can be produced together in one piece, for example by means of plastic injection molding.

  • the locking projection can be deflected by being pressed in until it has passed through a through opening in the circuit board and snaps behind the opening of the through opening.
  • the housing can then be released again from this locked position by manually deflecting the locking arm until the locking projection can again pass through the through-opening in the circuit board.

  • the direct plug connector can be held in a predefined position on the circuit board, the fixation of the direct plug connector being effected in cooperation with the latching arm and the latching projection.
  • Two positioning projections are advantageously provided so that the housing and so that the contact inserted into the through opening of the circuit board cannot be accidentally tilted, twisted and thereby damaged.
  • the housing has a locking arm each on two opposite side surfaces.
  • Such an arrangement of the latching arms makes it possible in a particularly simple manner to press the two latching arms onto the housing and thereby disengage them from matching through openings in the circuit boards. For example, such an arrangement is selected when several contacts are arranged next to one another in a housing of a direct plug connector.
  • the housing is provided with at least one dovetail groove and at least one dovetail bar.
  • the housing is designed in two parts, a first housing part being provided with the at least one latching arm and a second housing part with the contact.
  • the first housing part is generally U-shaped with two legs and the second housing part is received between the legs of the first housing part.

  • the second housing part can be used to lay one or more cable strands.
  • cable strands to be applied are secured on an underside of the first housing part. If the first housing part is then pushed onto the second housing part, the cable strands are simultaneously pressed into insulation displacement contacts in the second housing part. When connected to a circuit board, the first housing part then ensures that both housing parts and the contacts are secured on the circuit board.
  • a direct plug connection with at least one direct plug connector according to the invention and a circuit board, the circuit board having at least one electrically conductive first through opening on the inner wall for inserting the contact and at least one second through opening for inserting the locking projection and / or one Has positioning projection of the housing.
  • Such a direct plug-in connection is functionally reliable, easy to plug in and can also be easily removed from the circuit board again by simply unhooking the locking projections and without the aid of tools.
  • Fig. 1 shows a direct connector 10 according to a first embodiment not claimed.
  • the direct plug connector 10 has a housing 12 and a contact 14 arranged in sections in the housing.
  • the contact 14 is connected to the housing 12 within the latter.
  • the contact 14 is designed as a so-called direct plug contact or SKEDD contact.
  • the two spring arms of the contact 14 protruding from the underside of the housing 12 can resiliently move towards one another and away from one another again. Such a spring movement is required when the contact 14 is inserted into an electrically conductive through-opening of a printed circuit board on the inner wall.
  • Fig. 1 that is, from top to bottom or from bottom to top, the contact 14 is fixed relative to the housing 12.
  • the contact 14 has an in Fig. 1 invisible connection end to which a cable strand can be connected.
  • Such a connection end can be designed, for example, as an insulation displacement contact or also as a crimp contact or in some other suitable manner.
  • the housing is provided with two positioning projections 16, 18 in the form of at the top Truncated cone-shaped, but otherwise cylindrical pins provided over the bottom of the housing 12, which at the same time forms the bearing surface on a circuit board.
  • the positioning pins 16, 18 engage in matching through openings in a circuit board and prevent the housing 12 from being rotated or displaced on the circuit board. Since the positioning pins 16, 18 are cylindrical except for their frustoconical insertion end, they cannot prevent the housing 12 from being pulled off the printed circuit board.
  • a locking arm 20 is provided which is elastically resilient and integrally connected to the housing 12 and at its free end, which is shown in FIG Fig. 1 is arranged below the support surface 22 of the housing 12, is provided with a latching projection 24.
  • the latching arm 20 is separated from the housing by an intermediate space 26 that extends upwards from the support surface 22.
  • the intermediate space 26 runs in a straight line and perpendicular to the support surface 22, that is also perpendicular to a printed circuit board onto which the direct plug connector 10 is plugged.
  • the intermediate space 26 is delimited by an arcuate end 30.
  • the locking arm 20 can be resiliently pressed a little way towards the housing 12 and then automatically springs back into the FIG Fig. 1 location shown.
  • a width of the space 26 is reduced.
  • the curved end 30 of the space 26 prevents notch stresses occurring in the area of the connection point 28 and thus a destruction or weakening of the material in the area of the connection point 28 a design of the arch shape or also a displacement of the end 30 upwards, a spring rate between the locking arm 20 and the housing 12 can be set.
  • the latching projection 24 is provided with a run-on bevel 32 which is arranged in such a way that the latching projection 24 and thus also the latching arm 20 are pressed in the direction of the housing 12 when inserted into a suitable through opening of a printed circuit board Fig. 1 so to the left behind. This displacement movement takes place until the latching projection 24 is pushed completely through the circuit board and snaps with its undercut 34 behind the underside of the circuit board.
  • FIG. 2 This state is in Fig. 2 shown.
  • the undercut 34 of the latching projection 24 is now arranged opposite the underside of the circuit board 36 and thereby prevents the direct connector 10 from being in Fig. 2 is pulled off the circuit board 36 upwards.
  • the contact 14 is arranged in a through opening of the circuit board 36, which is designed to be electrically conductive on its inner wall and which is electrically connected to conductor tracks, not shown, on or within the circuit board 36.
  • the positioning pins 16, 18 are received in matching through openings of the circuit board 36 and prevent the direct connector 10 from twisting or the direct connector 10 from tilting relative to the circuit board 36.
  • the two positioning pins 16, 18 and the locking projection 24 allow the direct connector 10 to be securely attached the circuit board 36 are fixed and Mechanical loads are kept away from the contact 14 or the electrical connection between the contact 14 and the inner wall of the through opening of the circuit board 36 as far as possible. This is also used in a lateral direction, in Fig. 2 that is, from left front to right rear or from right rear to left front, receiving the contact 14 in the housing 12 with play.
  • the latching arm 20 is pressed in the area above the circuit board 36 in the direction of the housing 12.
  • the positioning pins 16, 18 in the through openings of the circuit board 36 then prevent the housing 12 from escaping.
  • the housing 12 can also be taken between two fingers of a human hand. If the fingers are then pressed towards one another, the latching arm 20 is pressed in the direction of the housing 12. This leads to the locking projection 24 being arranged again below the through opening in the circuit board 36 into which it was inserted. As a result, the undercut 34 is no longer opposite the underside of the circuit board 36, but below the through opening. In this compressed position of the locking arm 20 and the housing 12, the direct plug connector 10 can then be pulled off the circuit board 36 upwards again.

As a result, the housings 12 of two or more direct plug connectors 10 can be connected to one another secured. This allows direct plug-in connectors with a plurality of contacts 14 to be of a modular design in a simple manner.
