- the present invention relates to a circuit board for connection to a matrix of contact pins of electrical connectors and a system of the circuit board and a
- a variety of components of a motor vehicle is manufactured by automotive suppliers and supplied to automotive manufacturers for assembly. In order to keep the costs for the development and the production of automotive components low, the automotive suppliers strive to have component groups in a variety of different
- the wiring is within a
- Connectors with different pins can be connected.
- Circuit board for connection to a matrix of Kotaktchanen of electrical plugs comprises a plurality of
- the contact elements of a contact element group are coupled to one another via a conductor track and to an electronic component on the printed circuit board.
- Conductor tracks comprises a plurality of contact elements or is coupled to a plurality of contact elements, these are arranged quasi "in series.” According to the invention
- said contact elements of the contact element groups are arranged such that in an X-direction, which is substantially orthogonal to the extension direction of the contact pins
- Each contact pin contacting group comprises a contact element of the plurality of contact element groups, wherein depends on the exact design of the circuit board and to be connected to this electrical connector, whether each contact pin contacting group the same number of
- Contacting groups is associated with the printed circuit board according to the invention an electrical connector, so that the
- electrical connector can be connected, as contact pin contacting groups are formed, the number depends on the number of contact elements per contact element group.
- Contact element groups each with three contact elements, they can be arranged such that three contact pin contacting groups are formed on the circuit board, which can each be connected to an electrical connector with a special matrix of contact pins.
- PCB according to the invention makes it unnecessary that for connecting the circuit board with different types of electrical connectors different PCBs
- the printed circuit board according to the invention may have more contact elements than does a printed circuit board which can only be connected to one type of electrical plug, this disadvantage is due to the numerous advantages of the invention
- PCB compensated. This can be connected to a plurality of electrical connectors, wherein the number of electrical connectors is theoretically dependent only on the arrangement and number of contact elements or their arrangement on or on conductor tracks.
- the connector A to be connected has four contact pins with a spacing of, for example, 8 mm
- the second connector to be connected has two contact pins with a spacing of only 2 mm.
- the contact elements of a contact element group may for example be arranged side by side. This requires that the contact pin contacting groups have no offset in a Y direction orthogonal to the X direction.
- the contact elements of the contact element groups are arranged such that the contact pin contacting groups are arranged in multiple rows, so that, for example, row A can be connected to plug A and row B to plug B.
- the alignment of the aforementioned rows with one another depends, among other things, on how much space is available on the printed circuit board. To the pins of an electrical connector particularly easy and fast with the contact elements of a
- Contact elements of the circuit board can be done in different ways.
- the contact elements are formed as solder or press-fit contact elements, d. H. as such
- the contact pins may be formed so that only a front free contact area is present. In such a case, it is irrelevant if a contact pin is guided with the non-contact-capable area via, for example, a contact element or a conductor track. In a preferred
- Contact elements of a contact element group are so spaced apart in the X direction that in a direction orthogonal to the X direction Y direction only one of the contact elements of a contact element group with a contact pin of an electrical connector can be coupled. In such a case, it is not necessary for the contact pins to have non-contact regions, ie isolated regions, since only one contact element can be contacted in the Y direction.
- the invention further relates to a system comprising the aforementioned printed circuit board and an electrical connector, wherein the plug comprises a matrix of contact pins which are spaced apart in an X direction, wherein the plug is arranged such that the contact pins with the
- Figures 1, 2 and 3 show different systems plug / circuit board with known from the prior art circuit boards
- Figure 4 shows a first embodiment of the circuit board according to the invention and of the system
- FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the printed circuit board according to the invention and of the system
- Figure 6 shows a third embodiment of the circuit board according to the invention and of the system
- Figure 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the circuit board according to the invention and of the system.
- Figure 1 shows a system of a printed circuit board 20 and an electrical connector 40 according to the prior art.
- Circuit board 20 is arranged in a housing 10 with a housing opening 12, in which the electrical connector 40 is attached, which for the sake of clarity only schematically
- contact pins 41a - 41d are arranged, which are electrically coupled to corresponding contact elements 23a - 23d, which can be done for example via a soldering or a press-fit connection.
- the contact elements 23a-23d are connected to conductor tracks 30a-30d, which in turn are connected to terminals 22a-22d of an electronic component 21 mounted on the printed circuit board 20.
- Figure 2 shows another system printed circuit board / electrical connector according to the prior art. Also in this system, the electrical connector is connected via four contact pins 42a - 42d to four contact elements 24a - 24d of the printed circuit board 20.
- FIG. 3 shows another system according to the prior art
- FIGS. 1 to 3 It can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3 that the respective printed circuit boards shown in each case only have their contact elements can be used for the illustrated electrical connector, due to the arrangement of the contact pins within the plug.
- FIG. 4 shows a first embodiment of the invention
- Circuit board according to the invention which is designed for connection to electrical plugs with a different arrangement of the contact pins.
- the printed circuit board is designed for connection to the electrical plugs shown in FIGS. 3 and 2.
- the printed circuit board is designed for connection to the electrical plugs shown in FIGS. 3 and 2.
- Circuit board 20 four contact element groups 64a - 64d, 65a - 65d, which in each case via a conductor track 33a - 33d with the
- Contact element groups forms a contact pin contacting group 64a-64d, 65a-65d, each for
- connection is formed with an electrical connector.
- the contact pin contacting group 64a-64d is for connection to one shown in FIG.
- FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the invention
- contact pin contacting groups 64a - 64d, 65a - 65d are formed as two parallel rows, wherein the contact elements of
- Circuit board are arranged, that in the insertion direction (Y direction) no two contact elements are arranged one behind the other. This is especially with regard to a simple
- circuit board shown in Figure 5 is due to the arrangement of
- Contacting groups includes the same number of contact elements, since it is conceivable that an automobile manufacturer A uses electrical connector with more / less pins than a manufacturer B. A corresponding deviation may also result in different models of an automobile manufacturer.
- FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment in which it is indicated that the contact pins can also be connected to the contact elements in such a way that they still protrude beyond the contact elements in the insertion direction. It is therefore not absolutely necessary that the length of the contact pins is adapted to the position of the contact elements on the circuit board, as long as the arrangement of the contact elements, and thus of the conductor tracks, is selected accordingly.
