Definitions
- This invention relates to a printed circuit board contact arrangement, a contact module for contacting one or two printed circuit boards or a printed circuit board and a stamped grid, and a method for producing such a contact module.
- a challenge is when two printed circuit boards or a printed circuit board and a metallic stamped grid have to be connected to each other.
- soldering contact that establishes contact with an element that can be connected to the contact module.
- Such a soldering contact usually metallic, has a soldering area that is soldered to the printed circuit board. This area can be designed as an SMD soldering area, where SMD stands for "surface-mount device", as a single solder pin or as an arrangement of certain contours that are formed integrally with the solder contact.
- solder contacts with an SMD soldering pad with a single solder connection or with several, for example two, solder pins are installed next to each other depending on the connection the printed circuit board to have a separate variant of the solder contacts to be installed.
- solder contacts required, for example, as far as an insertion should be oriented parallel or perpendicular relative to a plan plane of the circuit board. If, for example, a connection is to be aligned perpendicularly to a printed circuit board level, corresponding soldering contacts are installed, which also have soldering pins oriented perpendicularly to the printed circuit board. In the case of an assembly direction oriented parallel to a printed circuit board plane, the soldering contacts are offset relative to the insertion direction, e.g. B. transversely oriented.
- connection and orientation variants separate variants of the solder contacts to be installed are usually kept available and the problem arises during assembly of sealing them suitably against environmental influences.
- the sealing of the connecting device after connecting, for example, the printed circuit board or stamped grid to be integrated in an actuator with the PCB base circuit board poses great challenges for the manufacturer.
- a good and permanent connection to the printed circuit board or to the lead frame is required.
- an electrical component in particular including moving components
- an actuator or a switch with an actuating pin or a moving switching element and an integral printed circuit board on another printed circuit board or a stamped grid (e.g. a control board or a central superordinate PCB) to be electrically connected and to seal the interfaces to the printed circuit boards according to the requirements.
- a stamped grid e.g. a control board or a central superordinate PCB
- the degree of protection is standardized, e.g. B. in EN 60529 (VDE 0470-1): 2014-09 degrees of protection by housing (IP code) or IEC 60529:1989 + A1:1999 + A2:2013 and the German version EN 60529: 1991 + A1:2000 + A2:2013, formerly VDE 0470-1.
- the degree of protection defined according to the international standard indicates the suitability of electrical equipment for various environmental conditions.
- the degree of protection must be distinguished from the electrical protection class. While the degree of protection defines the protection of active parts against contact, the ingress of foreign bodies and water as well as shock resistance (so-called housing protection), the protection class describes measures against dangerous voltages on touchable, operationally non-live conductive parts of equipment.
- Protection class IP 67 defines a high level of protection against the ingress of foreign bodies and water. With circuit board connections, however, it is difficult to achieve a good seal that is both inexpensive to implement and permanently seals the assembly.
- the present invention is based on the technical problem of specifying a printed circuit board contact arrangement, a contact module for connecting an actuator or a printed circuit board to another printed circuit board and a method for producing a contact module, which does not have the disadvantages described above, or at least to a lesser extent have, and in particular to specify a contact arrangement that is flexible with regard to the type of connection to be provided, tightness and orientation and thus enables cost-effective provision.
- a printed circuit board contact arrangement for contacting a first printed circuit board (PCB1) with a second printed circuit board (PCB2) (or a stamped grid) is proposed, having at least two printed circuit board contacts which, at one contact end, have a connecting section (preferably for a non-positive connection) for the first printed circuit board and have a press-in zone at their second contact end for making contact with the second printed circuit board, and wherein between the connecting section and the press-in zone there is at least one sealing body that completely surrounds the contacts in a central section, consisting of a connecting section on one side surface of the sealing body and the Press-in zones protrude.
- PCB1 printed circuit board
- PCB2 printed circuit board
- the printed circuit board contacts have a central contact section, which is angled by approximately 90° and is located in the sealing body. This results in orientations of flat circuit boards that are perpendicular to each other.
- the connecting sections are connected to a web section protruding from the sealing body and are arranged offset in relation to the web section in a parallel plane, the offset being larger, in particular several times larger, in relation to the material thickness of the web section viewed in the direction of the misalignment This can be achieved by an intermediate bending section.
- the connecting surface is located on a side surface of the contacts and not on their end surface and allows a targeted and precisely positioned orientation of one printed circuit board in one assembly step.
- the respective press-in zone is formed from two parallel contact arms which are materially connected to one another at their plug-in end and in particular have a sloping side flank which begins at the plug-side end of the press-in zone and extends in the direction of extension of the press-in zone runs in such a way that the thickness of the press-in zone increases at least partially in this area.
- a further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the sealing body is designed as an encapsulation with an electrically non-conductive plastic around the printed circuit board contacts.
- the sealing body forms a circumferential collar and preferably an adjoining, essentially cuboid base from which two latching arms protrude in one piece.
- a particularly good sealing interaction can be achieved with a housing that rests against the collar with one end face.
- the base is sealed with the housing not directly over the locking hooks; the locking hooks only hold the housing in position for the laser welding, which creates the tight connection.
- a further aspect of the present invention relates to a contact module with a printed circuit board contact arrangement as described above, comprising a first printed circuit board which is electrically conductively connected to the connecting sections of the printed circuit board contact arrangement.
- the contact module has a one-piece sealing element with penetration openings for the press-fit zones in the region of the press-fit zones, with the circuit board contacts protruding through the penetration openings.
- this sealing element thus acts between the contact module on the one hand and the printed circuit board or the stamped grid on the other.
- the contact module is integrated into a switch or electrical component having an actuator, the contact module being surrounded by a housing (of the switch or component) and preferably also within the housing against a spring mounted grinder cooperates with the actuator to actuate the grinder along the circuit board, preferably to actuate switching.
- an elastically deformable sealing head to be provided on an actuation section of the housing, which is located above the actuator in the actuation direction.
- a further aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing a printed circuit board contact arrangement comprising the following steps: a. providing at least two printed circuit board contacts arranged next to one another, which have a connecting section at their one contact end and a press-in zone at their second contact end; b. producing a sealing body that completely surrounds the circuit board contacts in some areas by means of overmoulding, preferably in one operation in an overmoulding tool, c. wherein the encapsulation is formed in such a way that the respective connection sections protrude from the sealing body from a first side surface and the respective press-in zones protrude from another side surface.
- the connecting sections are connected to a printed circuit board in a non-positive manner (via elastic/plastic deformation) and are mounted at least in sections so as to protrude into a housing that is open on one side, so that in the mounted state a housing edge of the housing rests against the sealing body.
- the entire arrangement can then be pressed into a printed circuit board with the press-in zones (preferably with the sealing element described above) in the area of the press-in zones.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the parts of a switch having a contact module according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective arrangement of the switch from FIG. 1 in the assembled state and 3 shows a circuit board contact arrangement.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a configuration of a switch according to the invention, with a perspective view of the parts of a switch S having a contact module according to the invention being shown.
- the switch S has a housing 40 in which an actuator 43, a spring 42, a wiper 41 which is movably mounted against the spring 42 and which interacts with the actuator 43 in order to actuate the wiper 41 along the printed circuit board PCB1.
- a bearing pin for the spring 42 protrudes in one piece from the upper side of the sealing body 20 .
- An elastically deformable sealing head 50 is provided on the upper operating section of the housing 40 above the reference number 51, which is located above the actuator 43 in the operating direction.
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective arrangement of the switch from FIG. 1 in the assembled state, having the printed circuit board contact arrangement 1 described below.
- FIG. 3 shows the printed circuit board contact arrangement 1 shown in FIG. 1 for contacting a first printed circuit board PCB1 with a second printed circuit board or pressed screen (not shown).
- the printed circuit board contact arrangement 1 has two printed circuit board contacts 10, which have a connecting section 11 at one contact end 10a and a press-in zone 12 at their second contact end 10b.
- connection section 11 Between the connecting section 11 and the press-in zone 12 there is a sealing body 20 which completely surrounds the contacts in a central section, specifically by means of an overmolding. From the The respective connection section 11 protrudes from an (upper) side surface 21 and the press-in zones 12 protrude from another, specifically front, side surface 22 .
- the length of the press-fit zones and the contact projection from the sealing body 20 is matched to the thickness of the sealing element 30, which is also shown.
- This sealing element 30 is designed as a one-piece sealing element with penetration openings 31 for the press-in zones 12 and an opening in between for a positioning pin, which protrudes through the opening in between.
- a sealing element which is located in the area where the contacts will later pass through, can have a thinly formed membrane, which is pierced by the contacts during assembly.
- the printed circuit board contacts 10 have a central contact section angled by approximately 90°. Furthermore, the connecting sections 11 adjoin a web section 22 protruding from the sealing body 20 in that a lateral section offset relative to the web section 22 in a parallel plane is formed via a bending section.
- the connection sections 11 are schematically connected to the first printed circuit board PCB1 by means of a non-positive connection.
- the two press-fit zones 12 are formed from two parallel contact arms 12a, 12b which, in this exemplary embodiment, are materially connected to one another at their insertion-side end and have a sloping side flank 12c.
- the sealing body 20 forms a peripheral collar 24 and two locking arms 25 for attachment to the housing 40.
