Description

CONTACT ARRANGEMENT
The invention relates to a contact arrangement according to patent claim 1.
In the prior art, there are known various contact arrangements which are used, for example, to connect a plug to a printed circuit board.
The object of the contact arrangement is to connect a plurality of electrical contacts to each other in a safe and reliable manner and additionally to take up only a small structural space. An object of the invention is to provide an improved contact arrangement having reduced structural space.
The object of the invention is achieved by the contact arrangement according to patent claim 1.
Other advantageous embodiments of the contact arrangement are set out in the dependent claims.
An advantage of the contact arrangement is that the structural space for the contact arrangement is reduced. This is achieved in that a rear side of a wall of the housing is recessed inwards in the region of the contacts. Consequently, in the region of the contacts, there is more space available, for example, for arranging a printed circuit board.
Additionally, more space is provided on the housing in the region of the rear side for the contacts, for example, for soldering or for assembly.
In another embodiment, the housing has additional electrical contacts which are contacted with the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is arranged at a rear side of the housing and secured to the housing. The printed circuit board may be used, for example, to connect the additional electrical contacts of the housing via the printed circuit board to another printed circuit board in an electrically conductive manner. In another embodiment, the printed circuit board has additional electrical contacts which are provided for contacting with respect to another printed circuit board.
In another embodiment, the recess is constructed so as to be rectangular and a group of contacts is arranged in the region of the recess. Owing to the extensive, in particular rectangular recess, a relatively large free space is provided in the region of the contacts at the rear side of the housing.
In another embodiment, the contacts are constructed as straight contacts. There is additionally arranged in the recess a guiding element which has holes through which the straight contacts are guided. Owing to the guiding element, on the one hand, the position of the individual straight contacts is precisely fixed and, on the other hand, the electrical contacts are guided and retained over a relatively great length. Consequently, the guiding and securing of the contacts in the housing is improved. In another embodiment, the contacts are constructed as angled contacts, the contacts being bent downwards at the rear side of the housing in the region of the recess and protruding beyond a lower side of the housing. Owing to the construction of the recess, the angled contacts may be angled downwards with respect to the housing with a short spacing and directed downwards. In this manner, the structural space for arranging the housing and the angled contacts is reduced. In addition, there is more free space available, for example, for soldering the electrical contacts.
In another embodiment, a front side of the wall of the housing has, in the region of the contacts, a shoulder which protrudes forwards from the wall.
In another embodiment, there is provided a second housing which is provided for assembly on the first housing. The second housing has a front side which is directed towards the first housing and which is recessed inwards. In this manner, the shoulder of the first housing that protrudes forwards can be received.
In another embodiment, the wall of the housing is constructed with a constant thickness. In this manner, it is possible for the contacts in the wall to be safely and reliably retained. The invention is explained in greater detail below with reference to the Figures, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective rear view of the housing with a printed circuit board,
Figure 2 is a front view of the housing,
Figure 3 is a schematic cross-section through the wall of the housing in the region of the electrical contacts,
Figure 4 is a rear view of the housing without any contacts,
Figure 5 is a rear view of another embodiment of the housing in the direction towards the printed circuit board,
Figure 6 is a front side view of the additional housing,
Figure 7 is a cross-section through the wall of the additional housing,
Figure 8 is a rear view of the additional housing without a printed circuit board, and Figure 9 is a schematic illustration of a second housing.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a contact arrangement having a housing 1, to the rear side of which a printed circuit board 2 is secured. The printed circuit board 2 has additional contacts 3 which are directed downwards beyond a lower side edge of the printed circuit board 2 and are provided for assembling and contacting on an additional printed circuit board. The housing 1 has additional electrical contacts 4 which are inserted into holes 24 of the printed circuit board 2 and which are connected to strip conductors of the printed circuit board 2 in an electrically conductive manner.
Figure 2 is a front view of the housing 1. The housing 1 has a peripheral frame 5 which surrounds a wall 6. The wall 6 has a lower region 7 in which electrical contacts 8 are inserted. The additional contacts 4 are arranged in an upper region 9. The additional contacts 4 and the electrical contacts 8 protrude perpendicularly from the front side 27 of the wall 6 illustrated in Figure 2. The additional contacts 4 are constructed as straight contacts, which also protrude perpendicularly from the rear side of the wall 5. The electrical contacts 8 are constructed as angled contacts in the embodiment illustrated, the electrical contacts 8 being bent downwards at the rear side of the wall 6 through an angle of 90° and protruding beyond a lower side 10 of the frame 5 with a second end 11. The second end 11 can be used for contacting another component, for example, an additional printed circuit board. Figure 3 is a cross-section through the housing 1 in the region of the additional contacts 4 and the electrical contacts 8. It can be seen that the lower region 7 of the wall 6 has a recess 12 at a rear side 28, that is to say, the rear side face of the wall 6 is recessed inwards in the region of the electrical contacts 8 by the depth D. At the same time, the lower region 7 of the wall 6 at the front side is arranged so as to be offset forwards by the distance D in the direction of the front side with respect to the upper region 9. Owing to the
configuration of the recess 12, there is more structural space provided for the second ends 11 of the electrical contacts 8 at the rear side of the housing 1 in order to direct the angled second ends 11 downwards beyond the lower side 10 of the frame 5. Owing to this configuration, in spite of the angled second ends 11 of the electrical contacts 8, the structural depth of the housing 1 of the illustrated X direction may be constructed so as to be more compact although the printed circuit board 2 is secured to the housing 1. Owing to the greater depth, the bending of the contacts 8 can be carried out with a larger radius. In addition, there is more space available for two rows of contacts 8. Consequently, the spacings between two second ends 11 of two contacts 8 which are arranged in one plane are relatively large.
Figure 4 is a schematic plan view of the rear side of the housing 1 without any electrical contacts. The inwardly recessed recess 12 of the lower region 7 of the wall 6 can be seen clearly in this instance. The recess 12 is preferably of rectangular form. Groups of electrical contacts are further formed in the region of the recess 12, only contact holes 25 which constitute the outlet locations of the contacts 8 being shown in the selected illustration. In the embodiment illustrated, two rows of contact holes are arranged, two contact holes 25 being arranged in a plane one above the other, respectively. Depending on the selected configuration, the upper and lower contact holes may also be arranged so as to be laterally offset. The wall 6 has three through-holes 18 in the lower region adjacent to the lower side 10 of the frame 5. In this manner, additional free space is provided for assembling and/or contacting the angled electrical contacts 8. Depending on the embodiment 12, it is also possible to dispense with the three openings 18. In addition, instead of a recess 12, it is also possible to provide a plurality of recesses 12, a group of contact holes 25 being arranged in each recess 12. Figure 5 illustrates another housing 13 which is constructed in a substantially identical manner to the housing 1, but with an additional opening 26 being provided in an upper corner region, for example, for receiving optical wave guides. At the rear side of the additional housing 13, there is secured a second printed circuit board 15 which has a cutout 16 in the region of the upper corner region in which the additional opening 26 is arranged. Additional contacts 4 of the additional housing 13 are inserted in the second printed circuit board 15 and are connected in an electrically conductive manner to strip conductors of the second printed circuit board 15. In addition, the second printed circuit board 16 has additional contacts 3 which protrude at the lower side beyond the second printed circuit board 15. Furthermore, there are arranged in the additional housing 13 straight electrical contacts 8 which are inserted in the second printed circuit board 15 and which are connected in an electrically conductive manner to strip conductors of the second printed circuit board 15.
Figure 6 shows a front side 27 of the wall 6 of the additional housing 13.
Figure 7 is a cross-section through the additional housing 13, there being able to be clearly seen the lower region 7 of the wall 6 which is inwardly recessed at a rear side 28 by the depth D and in which the straight electrical contacts 8 are inserted. In addition, there is inserted into the recess 12 a guiding element 17 which improves the guiding of the electrical contacts 8. Consequently, the recess 12 of the illustrated embodiment has the advantage that a guiding element 17 can be inserted at the rear side of the frame 5 without increasing the structural depth of the additional housing 13 along the illustrated X axis. The guiding element 17 is constructed, for example, as a separate component and constructed, in the same manner as the additional housing 13 and the housing 1, from an electrically insulating material, for example, from thermoplastic polymer.
Figure 8 illustrates the rear side 28 of the additional housing 13. In the illustrated configuration, there are provided in the lower region two recesses 12 in which a guiding element 17 is inserted, respectively. The guiding elements 17 have, at the rear side, for each pair of contacts, a rearwardly protruding block. Depending on the selected embodiment, the guiding elements 17 and the lower region protrude to a lesser extent from the wall 6 than the edges 33 of the contacts 4 illustrated in the upper region. Consequently, in this example, when placing and contacting a printed circuit board at the rear side of the additional housing 13, there is also more space in the region of the guiding elements than in the upper region of the contacts 4 between the additional housing 13 and the printed circuit board. The lower region is surrounded by a frame 30. A surface 31 of the frame 30 protrudes from a rear side of the wall 6 to a lesser extent than second surfaces 32 of the edges 33 of the contacts 4.
Figure 9 is a schematic illustration of a second housing 19 which can be connected to the housing 1 or the additional housing 13 by means of a curved member mechanism 20. The second housing 19 is inserted into the front side of the frame 5. The second housing 19 has counter-contacts which are brought into electrical contact with the additional contacts 4 and the electrical contacts 8 when the second housing 19 is connected to the housing 1 or the additional housing 13. To that end, corresponding contact openings 21 are arranged in a contact side 22 of the second housing 19. Furthermore, the contact side 22 is inwardly recessed in another lower region 23 in order to be able to receive the lower region 7 of the wall 6 of the first or the additional housing 1, 13 protruding forwards at the front side. Consequently, there is generally provided a compact connection arrangement which has a small structural depth. The contact arrangement described can be used for a plurality of contact arrangements, plug type arrangements and connector arrangements. For example, using the described arrangements, electrical lines and/or optical lines can be contacted in a safe, robust and simple manner with respect to a printed circuit board, for example, a printed circuit board of an electronic device, such as, for example, a radio, in particular a car radio.
