Definitions
- the present invention relates to an injection-molded part for the one-piece formation of an insulator element and a connector housing for a connector with the features of patent claim 1.
- the present invention also relates to a connector having the features of claim 4.
- the present invention further relates to a printed circuit board connector arrangement having the features of patent claim 14.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a printed circuit board connector arrangement with the features of patent claim 15.
- the two dielectric components ie the insulator element and the connector housing
- Connector housings are integrally connected to one another via at least one connecting web.
- a common plastic injection molded part for a printed circuit board connector is produced in which an insulator element and a portion of a connector housing, namely the locking hook typically integrated in a connector housing for locking the connector with a mating connector at the circuit board-side end of the circuit board connector, are integrally connected to one another via a connecting web.
- the at least one connecting web is arranged at the circuit board-side end of the printed circuit board connector, an interruption of the outer conductor contact element and thus an interruption of the shielding of the inner conductor contact element by the at least one connecting web is limited solely to the circuit board-side end of the printed circuit board connector.
- the outer conductor contact element is usually extended over the PCB-side end of the PCB connector to the PCB. Due to the connection bridges still present, the outer conductor contact element is exposed in the area of the axial extension of at least one connection bridge. The shielding is therefore not optimally implemented in the transition between the PCB connector and the PCB.
- the present invention is based on the object of specifying the best possible shielding for a connector, in particular for a printed circuit board connector.
- the knowledge/idea underlying the present invention consists in replacing the usually rigid connecting webs or connecting areas between the dielectric insulator element and the dielectric connector housing in the injection-molded part with a film hinge.
- Such film hinges can usually be separated without great effort using a separating body, in this case the outer conductor contact element of the connector inserted into the connector between the connector housing and the insulator element during the assembly process. The insulator element and the connector housing can thus be separated during the assembly process.
- the sleeve-shaped outer conductor contact element In order to ensure a safe separation of the individual connection areas designed as film hinges, the sleeve-shaped outer conductor contact element to be at least substantially closed in the circumferential direction at least at one front axial end in a joining direction of the outer conductor contact element.
- a design of the outer conductor contact element in which the outer conductor contact element is closed in the circumferential direction at a front axial end in a joining direction of the outer conductor contact element does not exclude a slight recess or a gap at least at the front axial end of the outer conductor contact element caused by a manufacturing inaccuracy and a manufacturing technology, for example a slight longitudinal slot, which is unavoidable in an outer conductor contact element produced by punching and bending technology.
- the wording "substantially closed” can be understood to mean that the outer conductor contact element is closed at its front axial end at least in such a way (ring-shaped) that the electromagnetic shielding at the front axial end of the outer conductor contact element is unaffected in practice - especially with regard to the electrical signals to be transmitted due to the application - even in the case of any smaller recesses (e.g. slots caused by production).
- the best possible shielding of the inner conductor contact element by the outer conductor contact element is achieved over the entire high-frequency signal path, i.e. within the connector and, in the case of a connector designed as a printed circuit board connector, also in the Transition area between the PCB connector and the PCB can be realized.
- connection area is to be formed in the injection-molded part.
- the single connection area preferably extends over the entire circumference, i.e. over the entire angular range of 360° relative to the longitudinal axis of the injection-molded part, in an intermediate area between the first and the second area of the injection-molded part.
- two, three or four connection areas are preferably to be formed.
- a larger number of connection areas than four connection areas is also conceivable, especially if the connection areas are each formed narrowly.
- the first region can be cylindrical and the second region can be hollow-cylindrical and can thus implement the basic shape of an insulator element and a connector housing.
- the at least one connecting region between the first region forming the insulator element and the second region forming the connector housing can be formed at an axial end of the first and second regions.
- the at least one connecting region can preferably be formed at a front axial end of the first region or the second region in a joining direction of the outer conductor contact element.
- the at least one connecting element can thus be formed at the axial end of the first and second regions at which the outer conductor contact element inserted into the injection-molded part pushes out of the injection-molded part during the joining process.
- connection area formed in this way on the injection-molded part enables correct axial guidance of the outer conductor contact element in the injection-molded part and thus a severing of the connection areas orthogonally to the longitudinal extension of the connection areas by the correctly axially guided outer conductor contact element.
- Such severing of the at least one connection area enables the smallest possible residues on the individual separated connection area on both the insulator element and the connector housing.
- the at least one connection area can be formed in a central area of the first and second areas of the injection-molded part.
- connection regions formed at different axial positions of the injection-molded part are each severed one after the other in the joining process of the outer conductor contact element.
- connection area designed as a film hinge can preferably be arranged in equidistant angle segments from one another. This ensures the best possible alignment of the first area forming an insulator element with the second area forming a connector housing within the injection-molded part.
- a non-equidistant arrangement of the individual connection areas is also conceivable.
- An injection molded part is a plastic part that is manufactured by injection molding - a primary molding process - in an injection molding machine.
- the starting material of the injection molded part preferably a thermoplastic
- the injection molding machine preferably a thermoplastic
- the liquefied granules change to a solid state in the injection molding tool when cooled and produce an injection molded part in the shape of the injection molding tool, which can be removed after the injection molding tool is opened.
- plastic parts with a complicated shape and with walls of varying thicknesses can also be produced.
- plastic parts or areas of plastics with very thin walls can be produced, such as areas of a plastic part designed as film hinges.
- an injection molded part can be produced that includes several individual functional parts that are connected to one another in one piece via connecting areas designed as film hinges.
- the functional parts formed in an injection-molded part can be identical or different functional parts.
- a plastic can be selected as the material for the injection molded part that combines low high-frequency losses for the insulator element and high mechanical stability for the connector housing at low material costs.
- the plastic material used is preferably LCP (liquid crystal polymer).
- PA polyamide
- PP polypropylene
- the length of the individual film hinges should preferably be as short as possible and/or an outer conductor contact element should be formed with sharp edges at its circuit board-side end, i.e. at the axial edge on the side of the insulator element and at the axial edge on the side of the connector housing.
- the injection molded part preferably contains the insulator element and the connector housing of a single connector. It is also conceivable that the injection molded part contains the insulator element and the connector housing of several preferably identical connectors.
- the pairs of insulator element and connector housing belonging to the individual connectors are arranged adjacently in the injection molded part and are also connected via connecting areas designed as film hinges. The pairs of insulator element and connector housing are separated before the assembly of the individual connectors using a suitable separating tool or a suitable cutting machine or an automated cutting device.
- first area which forms the insulator element of the connector
- second area which forms the connector housing
- a film hinge or a living hinge or an integrated hinge is understood here and below to mean a thin, flexible hinge that is made of the same material as the two rigid areas - the first area and the second area of the injection-molded part - that it connects.
- the individual film hinge has a thinner wall thickness so that the rigid first area and the rigid second area can be bent towards each other about a bending axis that is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the film hinge.
- This bendability of the individual film hinges advantageously enables exact alignment of the first area, which forms an insulator element, with the second area, which forms a connector housing, in the assembly process.
- the longitudinal axis of the insulator element can be aligned coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the connector housing as an essential prerequisite for correct centering of the components inner conductor contact element, insulator element, outer conductor contact element and connector housing.
- This can be advantageous because the centering that can be achieved in the injection molded part between the first area forming an insulator element and the second area forming a connector housing typically cannot meet the quality of centering required for a shielded connector.
- the easy separability of the film hinges with regard to separating the insulator element and the connector housing should be emphasized.
- the shielded connector can preferably be a coaxial connector in which in particular the longitudinal axis of the single inner conductor contact element is aligned coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the outer conductor contact element.
- the invention also covers other shielded connectors, such as differential shielded connectors or shielded connectors with several pairs of inner conductor contact elements. In all such shielded connectors, the longitudinal axis through the common center of all inner conductor contact elements is aligned coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the outer conductor contact element.
- the first region of the injection-molded part can be arranged in a feedthrough of the second region over the individual connection regions.
- the plug-side end of the first region within the injection molded part can be arranged adjacent to the plug-side end of the second region.
- the cable-side end of the first region can be arranged adjacent to the cable-side end of the second region or the circuit board-side end of the first region can be arranged adjacent to the circuit board-side end of the second area within the injection-molded part.
- a plurality of rib-shaped projections are formed on an outer surface of the first region, which forms the insulator element, and/or on an inner surface of the second region, which forms the connector housing.
- the rib-shaped projections each run in the longitudinal axis of the first and second regions, i.e. in the longitudinal axis direction of the connector. They each serve to guide the outer conductor contact element of the connector during the assembly process. In addition, they can also serve to fix the outer conductor contact element between the insulator element and the connector housing when the connector is assembled.
- the fixation by means of the rib-shaped projections is preferably carried out in a force-fitting manner (so-called "crush ribs").
- the plurality of rib-shaped projections are each arranged in equidistant angular segments to one another on the outer surface of the first region and on the inner surface of the second region designed to achieve the most centric guidance possible for the outer conductor contact element.
- each individual rib-shaped projection on the first region can preferably be offset by an offset angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the injection-molded part from the next adjacent rib-shaped projection on the second region.
- each individual rib-shaped projection on the first region can be positioned radially opposite a rib-shaped projection on the second region.
- fastening means can also preferably be formed on the outer conductor contact element, with each of which the outer conductor contact element can be fixed to the insulator element or to the connector housing.
- the fixing is preferably carried out in a form-fitting manner with fixing claws made using a punching and bending technique, which claw into the dielectric material of the insulator element or the connector housing in a form-fitting manner.
- An alternative form-fitting fixing is also possible using locking hooks or locking lugs formed on the outer conductor contact element, which can be locked into corresponding locking recesses on the insulator element or on the connector housing.
- a stop function is formed in the connector in a further preferred embodiment of the invention.
- a diameter taper is preferably formed in the outer conductor contact element, which corresponds to a diameter taper in the insulator element or in the connector housing.
- the diameter taper can preferably be conical in both components (outer conductor contact element and insulator element or connector housing).
- a curved diameter taper as a combination of concave curved and convex curved diameter taper is also conceivable in the two components to be stopped.
- the diameter taper can also be used advantageously as a funnel function when inserting the outer conductor contact element into the space between the first and second areas of the injection-molded part.
- the connector is preferably designed as a straight connector. Since in a straight connector all components are arranged centered to one another and each have a linear longitudinal axis, it is easy to insert and guide the outer conductor contact element through the injection molded part, i.e. through the gap between the insulator element and the connector housing.
- the implementation of a connector by means of the inventive severing of the film hinges of the injection molded part can also be transferred to an angled connector.
- the outer conductor contact element which is located between the first and the second area of the injection molded part, ie between the insulator element and the connector housing of the Connector, is inserted and remains inserted, is preferably designed as a single piece.
- the single-piece design of the outer conductor contact element enables greater mechanical stability of the outer conductor contact element than a multi-piece design, which facilitates easier and safer separation of all film hinges of the injection-molded part.
- the single-piece design of the outer conductor contact element also enables manufacturing costs to be reduced.
- the connector housing preferably results directly from the second area of the injection-molded part. It is therefore made of a purely dielectric material and is preferably uncoated. Due to the shielding by the outer conductor contact element, a metallic coating of the connector housing is not necessary.
- the connector is designed as a circuit board connector, in particular as a shielded circuit board connector.
- the outer conductor contact element and each inner conductor contact element protrude from the connector housing in such a way that the outer conductor contact element can be electrically and mechanically connected to an outer conductor contact region of a circuit board and each inner conductor contact element can be electrically and mechanically connected to an associated inner conductor contact region of the circuit board.
- a soldered connection can be used as the preferred connection technology.
- a press connection using press pins that are formed at the axial end of the inner conductor or outer conductor contact element and are each inserted into the corresponding metal-coated holes is also conceivable. can be pressed into the circuit board.
- Any technical form of a circuit board is covered by a circuit board, for example a conventional circuit board made of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin, a circuit board enclosed in the housing of an integrated circuit or the substrate of an integrated circuit with associated contact surfaces.
- a sleeve-shaped outer conductor contact element with an axial section can preferably be used, which is designed to be closed in the circumferential direction outside the connector housing. This makes it possible to achieve complete shielding of each inner conductor contact element in the transition area between the circuit board connector and the circuit board to be contacted, which is advantageous compared to the prior art. If the sleeve-shaped outer conductor contact element is also completely closed in the circumferential direction over the entire longitudinal extent of the connector housing, complete shielding is possible over the entire high-frequency signal path, i.e. within the circuit board connector and in the transition area between the circuit board connector and the circuit board.
- pin-shaped extensions are formed on the circuit board-side end of the preferably sleeve-shaped outer conductor contact element, which are inserted into associated preferably metallically coated Holes can be inserted in the area of the outer conductor contact area of the circuit board.
- These pin-shaped extensions and their associated holes are preferably arranged at equidistant angular distances from one another.
- the pin-shaped extensions are preferably electrically and mechanically connected to the metal-coated holes via a soldered connection.
- the pin-shaped extensions can also be force-fitted into the corresponding metal-coated hole using a press-fit technique and create an electrical and mechanical connection.
- the circuit board-side end of the preferably sleeve-shaped outer conductor contact element of the circuit board connector can have an end face that is oriented orthogonally to a longitudinal axis of the circuit board connector.
- the invention also covers a circuit board connector assembly comprising a circuit board connector and a circuit board.
- the outer conductor contact element of the circuit board connector is connected to an outer conductor contact area of the circuit board and each Inner conductor contact element of the circuit board connector is electrically and mechanically connected to an associated inner conductor contact area of the circuit board.
- TAT through hole technology
- SMD surface mounted device technology
- the Fig. 1A shows a connector 100 designed as a straight circuit board connector 1 in an intermediate assembly step in which the individual components are not yet connected to one another in the correct position.
- the dielectric injection molded part 2 can be seen with a first region 3, a second region 4 and several connection regions 5 which connect the first region 3 and the second region 4 to one another and are each designed as a film hinge.
- the first region 3 of the injection molded part 2 forms the insulator element 6 of the circuit board connector 1 and the second region 4 forms the connector housing 7 of the circuit board connector 1.
- the cylindrically shaped first region 3 is connected via the connecting regions 5 to the hollow-cylindrical shaped second region 4 in such a way that the first region 3 is arranged in a passage 8 of the second region 4.
- the first region 3 is connected via the Connection areas 5 are connected to the second area 4 in such a way that a longitudinal axis L I of the first area 3 and thus of the insulator element 6 ideally lies on a longitudinal axis L G of the second area 4 and thus of the connector housing 7.
- the first area 3 and thus the insulator element 6 are thus arranged coaxially to the second area 4 and thus to the connector housing 7.
- the first region 3 and thus the insulator element 6 has two passages 9 running in the longitudinal axis direction L I , in each of which an inner conductor contact element 10 can be accommodated.
- the circuit board connector 1 is thus designed as a differential connector. However, this is not to be interpreted as restrictive, since the circuit board connector 1 can also contain just one inner conductor contact element 10 or a larger number of inner conductor contact elements, for example three inner conductor contact elements, four inner conductor contact elements, five inner conductor contact elements, etc.
- connection areas 5 are each formed at an axial end E of the first area 3 and the second area 4 of the injection-molded part 2.
- the axial end E is the front axial end of the first area 3 and the second area 4 of the injection-molded part 2 in a joining direction of the outer conductor contact element 11 of the connector 100.
- this is the circuit board-side axial end of the circuit board connector 1.
- a connector 100 formed as a cable connector, as a housing connector or as a built-in connector this is the plug-side axial end.
- the outer conductor contact element 11 is inserted into an annular passage 12 between the first region 3, ie the insulator element 6, and the second region 4, ie the connector housing 7, in such a way that the outer conductor contact element 11 is still located away from the connection regions 5, which are each designed as film hinges, and thus the connection regions 5 are not yet separated from the outer conductor contact element 11.
- connection areas 5, each designed as film hinges, are severed by the outer conductor contact element 11.
- the separated connection areas 5, which in the embodiments of the Fig. 1B for example, are still connected to the second region 4, are displaced from the annular feedthrough 12 by the outer conductor contact element 11 and are located in a recess 13 of the connector housing 7 which radially adjoins the annular feedthrough 12.
- pin-shaped extensions or contact pins 15 are formed, which serve to mechanically stabilize the circuit board connector arrangement 16, as can be seen from the Figures 1C and 1D are inserted into corresponding holes 17a of the circuit board 18.
- An axial center section of the outer conductor contact element 11 has a conically shaped diameter taper 19, which is supported on a likewise conically shaped diameter taper 20 of the insulator element 6 for the axial fixation of the outer conductor contact element 11 in the printed circuit board connector 1.
- the circuit board connector 1 is electrically and mechanically connected to the circuit board 18.
- the inner conductor contact elements 10 are inserted into associated holes 17b of the circuit board 18.
- the inner conductor contact elements 10 can electrically contact the metallically coated inner wall of the associated hole 17b, which represents the inner conductor contact area 21 of the circuit board 18, either by means of a solder connection or by means of a press-fit connection.
- the outer conductor contact element 11 contacts an outer conductor contact region 22, ie a preferably ring-shaped outer conductor contact surface, and is typically electrically and mechanically connected to the outer conductor contact region 22 via a solder connection.
- an outer conductor contact region 22 ie a preferably ring-shaped outer conductor contact surface
- the two inner conductor contact elements 10 are completely enclosed by the sleeve-shaped outer conductor contact element 1 and thus shielded.
- a support region 24 is formed which is supported on the circuit board 18 and serves to mechanically stabilize the entire circuit board connector arrangement 16 and to correctly align the circuit board connector 1 to the circuit board 18.
- the rib-shaped projections 25 can be seen, which are formed on an inner surface 26 of the second region 4 and on an outer surface 27 of the first region 3.
- the rib-shaped projections 25 run in the longitudinal axis direction of the first region 3 or the second region 4 and are arranged approximately evenly distributed over the inner surface 26 of the second region 4 and the outer surface 27 of the first region 3. They serve to guide the outer conductor contact element 11 in the assembly process and to fix the outer conductor contact element 11 between the insulator element 6 and the connector housing 7.
- Fig. 2A shows an arrangement of the individual components of the printed circuit board connector assembly 16 in the unassembled state.
- the isometric representation of the Fig. 2B shows the printed circuit board connector arrangement 16 in the assembled state.
