Definitions
- the invention relates to a printed circuit board connector.
- a printed circuit board connector comprising a housing which comprises a first support part on a first face of the card in one piece with the housing and rigidly connected. to this one.
- the connector comprises a metal bracket attached by the housing and having a free end defining arms terminated by steps which form a second support part on a second face of the card.
- the support parts are used to position the connector on the printed circuit board during the welding operation of the connector on the printed circuit board.
- the bracket has an elastically deformable part allowing the distance between the support parts to be varied, the latter being separated at rest by a distance less than a minimum thickness.
- the object of the invention is a connector making it possible to reduce the dispersion of the force necessary for its installation on a printed circuit board.
- a printed circuit board connector comprising a housing which comprises a first support part in one piece with the housing while being rigidly connected to the housing to rest on a first face of the card, characterized in that the connector comprises a second support part in one piece with the housing to bear on a second face of the card, the second support part being elastically connected to the housing so as to allow relative movement of the support parts in a support direction, the support parts being separated at rest by a distance less than a theoretical minimum thickness of the card.
- the housing and the support parts can be obtained in a single operation (for example by molding) so that the spacing between the support parts and the stiffness of the elastic connection are much better controlled, which allows to ensure a high degree of homogeneity in the effort to install the connectors of the invention on printed circuit boards.
- the risk of loss or incorrect positioning of the elastic support part is eliminated.
- FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are perspective views of a connector according to the invention mounted on a card printed circuit board ;
- - Figure 2 is an enlarged partial sectional view seen in direction II of Figure 1;
- - Figure 3 is a side view of the connector of Figure 1, the connection plugs having been omitted;
- - Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3, the connector not being mounted on a printed circuit board.
- the connector 1 of the invention comprises a housing 2 here forming a female socket capable of receiving a homologous male socket.
- the connector 1 is attached to a printed circuit card 3 and includes a set of connection plugs 4 intended to be soldered to the card 3.
- the housing 2 comprises two retaining assemblies 5 in one piece with the housing 2 projecting from a wall 6 of the housing forming the bottom of the socket.
- the holding assemblies 5 are here symmetrical with respect to each other.
- Each of the holding assemblies 5 comprises a partition 7 which has two planar portions 8 facing the card 3.
- the planar portions 8 of the two partitions 7 define a support plane of the connector 1 on a face 3A of the card 3.
- the partitions 7 extend along a plane perpendicular to the support plane, so that they have great rigidity in the support direction.
- Each of the partitions 7 carries a positioning pin 9, which, when the connector is mounted on the card 3, extends into an adjusted orifice 14 of the card 3 to precisely position the connector 1 on the card 3.
- Close to each partition 7 extends a flexible blade 10 having an end portion 11 connected to the adjacent partition 7.
- Each flexible blade 10 carries substantially in its middle two arms 12 terminated by steps 13 and which extend perpendicular to the card 3.
- the partitions 7, the flexible blades 10, the arms 12 and the steps 13 are here in one piece with the housing 2 of the connector 1, obtained for example by molding. As illustrated in Figure 4, at rest the face
- the connector is mounted on the card as follows, detailed with reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3.
- the connector is presented on the card so that the positioning pins 9 are opposite the adjusted orifices 14 of the card 3.
- the connector is pressed against the card, until the flat portions 8 are pressed against the face 3A facing the card 3.
- the steps 13 are then engaged in passages 15 of the card 3, and the sloping outer edge 13B of the steps 13 bears on the edge of the passages 15 to flex the arms 12 and force them to get closer.
- the steps 13 extend partially in the passages 15.
- the flexibility of the arms 12 then brings back automatically the lower face 13A of the steps 13 facing the opposite face 3B of the card 3 to lock the connector on the card 3.
- the thickness of the card 3 being greater than the distance d, the support of the face lower 13A steps 13 on the opposite face 3B of card 3 prevents the flexible blade 10 from returning to its rest state. The latter therefore remains bent and thus exerts a restoring force which tends to press the flat portions 8 against the card 3. This restoring force prevents any play between the card 3 and the flat portions 8, so that it guarantees a correct positioning of the connector 1 on the card 3.
- the return force is in practice sufficient to guarantee the support of the flat portions 8 on the card 3 against the weight of the connector 1 or the effect of vi- brations can for example intervene during welding.
- the housing and the holding assemblies in one piece makes it possible to precisely control not only the distance d separating the support parts at rest, but also the stiffness of the flexible blade 10, which makes it possible to considerably reduce the dispersion. of the effort required to install the connector of the invention on the card.
- the invention is not limited to the particular procedures which have just been described, but on the contrary encompasses any variant coming within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
- the flexible blade has been illustrated with an end portion connected to the adjacent partition 7, which allows precise control of the rigidity of the flexible blade and facilitates the molding of the connector, the flexible blade may have one end free independent of the partition.
- the flexible blade can then be terminated by a support leg on the card, or even be simply interrupted at the level of the arms 12 carrying the steps 13.
- the flexible blades 10 have been illustrated as each carrying two arms 12, each of the flexible blades can carry only one arm 12, the step 13 of which extends in opposition to the step which ends the arm carried by the other flexible blade.
- the support part linked elastically to the housing is materialized by steps carried at the end of arms secured to a flexible blade which extends on the same side of the card as the partitions 7, which allows mounting according to in a direction normal to the card, the support part may be integral with a flexible part which extends on the other side of the card. In this case, the support • of the support part does not cross the card when the connector is mounted on the card.
- the assembly is then carried out in a direction which appears to be substantially lele à la carte.
- the support part of the connector rigidly connected to the housing is materialized by flat portions produced on rigid partitions which extend in overhang of the housing, the support part may take other forms, such as a support surface or a support tripod.
- the support members here consist of flat portions carried by the partitions or by the lower faces of the steps, the support members may have any shape allowing the connector to be supported on the card, such as for example a tip or a finger with spherical end.
