Description

Steckverbinder und Steckverbinder System  Connector and connector system
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder, mit einem Gehäuse, mit mindestens einem an dem Gehäuse gehaltenen Kontakt, der zur Kontaktierung eines Kontakts eines weiteren Steckverbinders eingerichtet ist, wobei das Gehäuse mindestens ein Formelement zum Befestigen mindestens eines Schirmblechs aufweist. Weiter betrifft die Erfindung ein Steckverbindersys tem mit einem solchen Steckverbinder. The present invention relates to a connector, with a housing, with at least one contact held on the housing, which is set up for contacting a contact of a further connector, the housing having at least one shaped element for fastening at least one shield plate. The invention further relates to a connector system with such a connector.
Steckverbinder und Steckverbindersysteme der eingangs genann ten Art können als geschirmte Lösungen mit Schirmblechen be reitgestellt werden. Hierbei sind die Schirmbleche Connectors and connector systems of the type mentioned can be provided as shielded solutions with shield plates. Here are the shield plates
üblicherweise derart in die Konstruktion integriert, dass die Schirmbleche beim Zusammenführen eines Steckverbinders mit seinem zugeordneten Gegenstück zur Führung und Positionierung der beiden Steckkomponenten eines solchen Steckverbindersys tems dienen. Die Schirmbleche dienen zur Abschirmung der mit einander kontaktierten Kontakte des Steckverbinders und seines zugeordnete Gegensteckers. Usually integrated into the construction in such a way that the shielding plates serve to guide and position the two plug-in components of such a plug-in system when a plug-in connector is merged with its associated counterpart. The shielding plates serve to shield the contacts of the connector and its associated mating connector that are in contact with one another.
Soweit ein Steckverbindersystem bzw. ein Steckverbinder ohne Schirmbleche bereitgestellt wird, ist hierzu üblicherweise eine gesonderte Gehäusekonstruktion erforderlich, die die Füh rung und Positionierung beim Zusammenstecken übernimmt, da keine Schirmbleche vorhanden sind. If a connector system or a connector without shield plates is provided, this usually requires a separate housing construction that takes over the leadership and positioning when plugging together, since there are no shield plates.
Demnach müssen für Steckverbinder und Gegenstecker geschirmter Systeme sowie für Steckverbinder Gegenstecker ungeschirmter Systeme separate Gehäuse und entsprechende Spritzgusswerkzeuge für deren Herstellung bereitgehalten werden, da sich die Ge häusekonstruktionen maßgeblich unterscheiden. Accordingly, separate housings and corresponding injection molding tools must be used for connectors and mating connectors in shielded systems and for connectors mating connectors in unshielded systems be kept ready for their production, since the housing constructions differ significantly.
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die technische Problemstellung zugrunde, einen verbesserten Steck verbinder und ein verbessertes Steckverbindersystem der ein gangs genannten Art anzugeben, welche die voranstehend Against this background, the present invention is based on the technical problem of specifying an improved plug-in connector and an improved plug-in connector system of the type mentioned at the outset, which the above
beschriebenen Nachteile nicht oder zumindest in geringerem Maße aufweisen, und insbesondere eine kostengünstigere Bereit stellung geschirmter und ungeschirmter Steckverbinder und Steckverbindersysteme ermöglichen . Disadvantages described do not have or at least to a lesser extent, and in particular enable a more cost-effective provision of shielded and unshielded connectors and connector systems.
Die vorliegende voranstehend beschriebene technische Problem stellung wird jeweils gelöst durch einen Steckverbinder nach Anspruch 1 und ein Steckverbindersystem nach Anspruch 11. Wei tere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhän gigen Ansprüchen und der nachstehenden Beschreibung. The present technical problem described above is each solved by a connector according to claim 1 and a connector system according to claim 11. Further embodiments of the invention result from the dependent claims and the description below.
Gemäß einem ersten Aspekt betrifft die Erfindung einen Steck verbinder, mit einem Gehäuse, mit mindestens einem an dem Ge häuse gehaltenen Kontakt, der zur Kontaktierung eines Kontakts eines weiteren Steckverbinders eingerichtet ist, wobei das Ge häuse mindestens ein Formelement zum Befestigen mindestens ei nes Schirmblechs aufweist. Das Gehäuse weist mindestens ein Führungselement zum formschlüssigen Führen und Positionieren des Steckverbinders auf, das an einem weiteren Steckverbinder eingerichtet ist, wobei das Führungselement zu dem Formelement beabstandet angeordnet ist. According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a plug connector, with a housing, with at least one contact held on the housing, which is set up for contacting a contact of a further connector, the housing having at least one shaped element for attaching at least one shield plate . The housing has at least one guide element for positively guiding and positioning the connector, which is set up on a further connector, the guide element being arranged at a distance from the shaped element.
Die bei Bedarf mögliche Anordnung der Schirmbleche ist daher unabhängig und separat von der Führungs- und Positionierhilfe in Form des Führungselements an dem Steckverbinder vorgesehen. Der Steckverbinder kann daher im Bedarfsfall mit Schirmblechen an dem Gehäuse bestückt werden, ist jedoch auch ohne montierte Schirmbleche vollständig funktionsfähig und kann auch ohne Schirmbleche in zuverlässiger Weise mithilfe des Führungsele ments an einem weiteren Steckverbinder positioniert und ausge richtet werden. The possible arrangement of the shield plates is therefore provided independently and separately from the guide and positioning aid in the form of the guide element on the connector. The connector can therefore be equipped with shielding plates on the housing, if necessary, but is fully functional even without mounted shielding plates and can also without Shield plates can be reliably positioned and aligned using the guide element on another connector.
Wenn vorliegend von einem Schirmblech gesprochen wird, so han delt es sich dabei insbesondere um ein metallisches Bauteil zum Abschirmen des ebenfalls bevorzugt metallischen Kontakts. Der Kontakt dient dazu, eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung durch eine Anlage an dem weiteren metallischen Kontakt des weiteren Steckverbinders herzustellen. If one speaks in the present case of a shield plate, it is in particular a metallic component for shielding the likewise preferably metallic contact. The contact serves to establish an electrically conductive connection through a contact with the further metallic contact of the further connector.
Der Steckverbinder ist daher insbesondere dazu eingerichtet, eine lösbare Steckverbindung zu dem weiteren Steckverbinder herzustellen . The connector is therefore in particular set up to produce a detachable plug connection to the further connector.
Das Gehäuse des Steckverbinders kann teilweise oder vollstän dig aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Kunststoff gebildet sein . The housing of the connector can be partially or completely dig from an electrically insulating plastic.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgese hen, dass das Führungselement ein Vorsprung oder ein Dorn ist, wobei der Vorsprung oder Dorn zum formschlüssigen Eingreifen in ein komplementär geformtes Führungselement des weiteren Steckverbinders eingerichtet ist, wie beispielsweise eine Nut, eine Ausnehmung oder dergleichen. According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the guide element is a projection or a mandrel, the projection or mandrel being set up for positive engagement in a complementarily shaped guide element of the further connector, such as a groove, a recess or the like.
Mithilfe dieser Formelemente kann in einfacher und kostengüns tiger Weise eine vorgegebene Führung während einer Einsteckbe wegung sowie eine definierte Ausrichtung und Positionierung der zu verbindenden Steckverbinder erreicht werden. With the help of these shaped elements, a predetermined guidance during a push-in movement and a defined orientation and positioning of the plug-in connectors to be connected can be achieved in a simple and cost-effective manner.
Der Vorsprung oder Dorn kann insbesondere eine endseitige Fase oder Verjüngung aufweisen, um ein Einfädeln in eine zugeord nete Nut oder Ausnehmung zu vereinfachen. Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Führungselement eine Nut oder eine Ausnehmung ist, wobei die Nut oder Ausnehmung zum formschlüssigen Aufnehmen eines komplementär geformten Führungselements des weiteren Steckverbinders eingerichtet ist, wie eines Vorsprungs, eines Dorns oder dergleichen. The projection or mandrel can in particular have a chamfer or taper at the end in order to simplify threading into an assigned groove or recess. Alternatively, it can be provided that the guide element is a groove or a recess, the groove or recess being set up for the positive reception of a complementarily shaped guide element of the further plug connector, such as a projection, a mandrel or the like.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass durch die Führungsele mente eine Linearführung gebildet ist, die ein geradliniges Einstecken des Steckverbinders in den weiteren Steckverbinder, oder umgekehrt, vorgibt. Die zugeordneten Führungselemente lassen daher, sobald diese im Eingriff sind, lediglich einen Freiheitsgrad entlang einer geradlinigen Einsteckbewegung zu, um ein zuverlässiges Kontaktieren der zugeordneten Kontakte zu erreichen . In particular, it can be provided that a linear guide is formed by the guide elements, which specifies a straight insertion of the connector into the further connector, or vice versa. The assigned guide elements therefore, as soon as they are in engagement, only allow one degree of freedom along a straight insertion movement in order to achieve reliable contacting of the assigned contacts.
Um eine kostengünstige und in einfacher Weise herstellbare Führung bereitzustellen, kann das Führungselement integraler Bestandteil einer Außenwandung des Gehäuses sein, wobei die Außenwandung das Kontakt umfangsseitig einfasst. Auf diese Weise kann das Führungselement derart bereitgestellt werden, dass der Bauraum zum Anordnen von einem oder mehreren Kontak ten des Steckverbinders nicht eingeschränkt wird. In order to provide an inexpensive and easy to produce guide, the guide element can be an integral part of an outer wall of the housing, the outer wall surrounding the contact on the circumference. In this way, the guide element can be provided in such a way that the installation space for arranging one or more contacts of the plug connector is not restricted.
Um eine Konstruktion insbesondere einer Linearführung zu er möglichen, kann vorgesehen sein, dass mindestens zwei oder ge nau zwei Führungselemente vorgesehen sind. In order to enable a construction, in particular a linear guide, it can be provided that at least two or exactly two guide elements are provided.
Insbesondere können die Führungselemente asymmetrisch verteilt angeordnet sein, sodass sich eine mechanische Kodierung ergibt, die ein unsachgemäßes Montieren mit falscher Orientie rung ausschließt. In particular, the guide elements can be arranged asymmetrically distributed, so that there is a mechanical coding that precludes improper mounting with incorrect orientation.
Soweit mindestens zwei oder genau zwei Führungselemente vorge sehen sind, kann zur mechanischen Kodierung beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass ein Führungselement Abmaße hat, die sich von den Abmaßen eines weiteren Führungselements unterscheiden. As far as at least two or exactly two guide elements are provided, mechanical coding can be used, for example be provided that a guide element has dimensions that differ from the dimensions of a further guide element.
Alternativ oder ergänzend kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Führungselemente derart versetzt oder verteilt angeordnet sind, dass durch die Anordnung eine mechanische Kodierung ge bildet ist. Alternatively or in addition, it can also be provided that the guide elements are offset or distributed in such a way that a mechanical coding is formed by the arrangement.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Steckverbinders ist vor gesehen, dass ein erstes Führungselement an einem ersten Wan dungsabschnitt des Gehäuses gebildet ist und ein zweites According to a further embodiment of the connector, it is seen that a first guide element is formed on a first wall section of the housing and a second
Führungselement an einem zweiten Wandungsabschnitt des Gehäu ses gebildet ist, wobei der erste Wandungsabschnitt und der zweite Wandungsabschnitt zueinander beabstandet und an gegen überliegenden Gehäuseseiten angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise kann erreicht werden, dass die Führungselemente einen mög lichst großen Abstand zueinander an dem Gehäuse aufweisen, um ein Verkanten beim Zusammenfügen des Steckverbinders mit dem weiteren Steckverbinder zu vermeiden, so dass eine in einfa cher und zuverlässiger Weise zu montierende Steckverbindung bereitgestellt wird. Guide element is formed on a second wall section of the housing, the first wall section and the second wall section being spaced apart and arranged on opposite sides of the housing. In this way it can be achieved that the guide elements are spaced as far apart as possible from one another on the housing in order to avoid tilting when the plug connector is joined to the further plug connector, so that a plug connection that is easy and reliable to install is provided.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Gehäuse im Wesentlichen qua derförmig gebildet ist, um eine einfache Anordnung auch mehre rer Kontakte in einem Innenraum des Gehäuses zu ermöglichen. It can be provided that the housing is essentially qua-shaped in order to enable a simple arrangement of several contacts in an interior of the housing.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Formelement zum Befestigen des Schirmblechs an einem dritten Wandungsabschnitt des Gehäu ses gebildet ist, wobei der dritte Wandungsabschnitt den ers ten und den zweiten Wandungsabschnitt miteinander verbindet. Durch den Abstand der Formelemente zu den Führungselementen kann sichergestellt werden, dass eine Führung und Positionie rung unabhängig von den Schirmblechen erfolgt, da diese, im Bedarfsfall, an einem von dem Führungselement separaten Wan dungsabschnitt des Gehäuses angeordnet sind. Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Steckverbinders ist vor gesehen, dass das Gehäuse zwei oder mehr Formelemente hat, die zum Befestigen von zwei oder mehr Schirmblechen oder genau zwei Schirmblechen an einem Gehäuse vorgesehen sind. Der Steckverbinder kann daher an den Formelementen daher bedarfs gerecht mit Schirmblechen bestückt werden oder ist unabhängig von den Schirmblechen als ungeschirmter Steckverbinder ein- setzbar . It can be provided that the shaped element for fastening the shield plate is formed on a third wall section of the housing, the third wall section connecting the first and second wall sections to one another. The distance between the shaped elements and the guide elements can ensure that guidance and positioning takes place independently of the shielding plates, since these are arranged, if necessary, on a separate section of the housing from the guide element. According to a further embodiment of the connector, it is seen that the housing has two or more shaped elements which are provided for fastening two or more shield plates or exactly two shield plates to a housing. The connector can therefore be equipped with shielding plates on the molded elements as required or can be used as an unshielded connector independently of the shielding plates.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Führungselement eine entlang einer Einsteckrichtung des weiteren Steckverbinders in den Steckverbinder gemessene Höhe aufweist, die mehr als die It can be provided that the guide element has a height, measured along an insertion direction of the further connector into the connector, which is more than that
Hälfte der Gesamthöhe des Gehäuses beträgt. So kann eine zu verlässige Führung und Positionierung des Steckverbinders re lativ zu dem weiteren Steckverbinder erreicht werden. Half of the total height of the housing is. Reliable guidance and positioning of the connector can thus be achieved relative to the other connector.
