Abstract

Die Kontaktfedern weisen Anschlußfahnen (12) auf, die auf eine mit der Steckverbinderleiste (1) verbundene Leiterplatte (2) drücken. Zum Ausgleich von Toleranzen der Leiterplattendicke sind die Anschlußfahnen (12) nur in einem innerhalb der Steckverbinderleiste (1) angeordnetem Einspannpunkt fixiert und somit federnd gelagert. Die Anschlußfahnen (12) können unmittelbar nach ihrem Austritt aus der Steckverbinderleiste (1) in etwa rechtwinklig abgebogen und gradlinig ausgeformt sein, so daß sie in etwa senkrecht auf korrespondierende Kontaktstellen (21) der Leiterplatte (2) drücken und so insbesondere für eine Reflowlötverbindung geeignet sind.The contact springs have connecting lugs (12) which press on a printed circuit board (2) connected to the connector strip (1). To compensate for tolerances of the PCB thickness, the connection lugs (12) are only fixed in a clamping point arranged within the connector strip (1) and are thus spring-mounted. The connection lugs (12) can be bent approximately at right angles and shaped straight after they emerge from the connector strip (1), so that they press approximately perpendicularly on corresponding contact points (21) of the printed circuit board (2) and are therefore particularly suitable for a reflow solder connection are.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbinderleiste mit in mindestens zwei parallelen Reihen Steckverbinderleiste mit in mindestens zwei parallelen Reihen angeordneten Kontaktfedern zum elektrischen Anschluß an eine mit der Steckverbinderleiste mechanisch verbundene, zwischen Kon­taktfedernreihen angeordnete Leiterplatte, die auf ihren beiden Seiten aus elektrisch leitfähigem Material be­stehende Kontaktstellen aufweist, gegen die an der der Leiterplatte zugewandten Seite der Steckverbinderleiste austretende korrespondierende Kontaktfederanschlußfahnen federnd drücken.The invention relates to a connector strip with in at least two parallel rows connector strip with contact springs arranged in at least two parallel rows for electrical connection to a mechanically connected to the connector strip, arranged between rows of contact springs, which has contact points on both sides made of electrically conductive material, against press the corresponding contact spring terminal lugs emerging from the side of the connector strip facing the printed circuit board.

Es sind bereits Steckverbinderleisten mit in mindestens zwei parallelen Reihen angeordneten Kontaktfedern zum elektrischen Anschluß an eine mit der Steckverbinderleis­te mechanisch verbundene Leiterplatte bekannt. Bei diesen bekannten Steckverbinderleisten treten Kontaktfederan­schlußfahnen schräg, beispielsweise in einem Winkel von 45°, aus der Steckverbinderleiste und führen zu korres­pondierenden Kontaktstellen auf der Leiterplatte. Hier­durch ergeben sich für die Anschlußfahnen relativ lange Abmessungen, die zu unerwünschtem Nebensprechen führen und die Übertragungsgüte mindern können.Connector strips with contact springs arranged in at least two parallel rows for electrical connection to a circuit board mechanically connected to the connector strip are already known. In these known connector strips, contact spring connection lugs come out of the connector strip at an angle, for example at an angle of 45 °, and lead to corresponding contact points on the printed circuit board. This results in relatively long dimensions for the connecting lugs, which can lead to undesired crosstalk and can reduce the transmission quality.

Es sind auch bereits Steckverbinderleisten bekannt, bei denen Anschlußfahnen von in mehreren parallelen Reihen angeordneten Kontaktfedern gegen die beiden Seiten einer eingeschobenen Leiterplatte drücken. Bei diesen bekannten Steckverbinderleisten sind die Kontaktfedern in der Steckverbinderleiste starr gelagert. Die Anschlußfahnen führen schräg von der Steckverbinderleiste zur Leiter­platte und weisen abgewinkelte, auf den beiden Leiter­plattenoberflächen aufliegende Verlängerungen auf. Auch bei diesen Anordnungen ergeben sich für die Anschluß­fahnen relativ lange, unerwünschte Abmessungen. Im übri­gen könnte der Berührungsdruck der schräg gegen die Leiterplattenoberflächen drückenden Anschlußfahnen nicht in allen Fällen, Werte erreiche, die für ein Auflöten der Anschlußfahnen auf die Leiterplatte notwendig sind.Connector strips are also known, in which connection lugs of contact springs arranged in a plurality of parallel rows press against the two sides of an inserted printed circuit board. In these known connector strips, the contact springs are in the Connector strip mounted rigidly. The connection lugs lead obliquely from the connector strip to the printed circuit board and have angled extensions which rest on the two printed circuit board surfaces. These arrangements also result in relatively long, undesirable dimensions for the connecting lugs. Moreover, the contact pressure of the terminal lugs that press obliquely against the printed circuit board surfaces could not in all cases reach values that are necessary for soldering the terminal lugs onto the printed circuit board.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steckver­binderleiste der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß eine sichere elektrische Verbindung, beispielsweise mit Hilfe des sogenannten Reflowlötverfahrens , auch bei Toleranzen der Leiterplattendicke gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to design a connector strip of the type mentioned so that a secure electrical connection, for example with the help of the so-called reflow soldering method, is guaranteed even with tolerances of the circuit board thickness.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß für eine Steckverbin­derleiste der oben genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Kontaktfederanschlußfahnen in einem innerhalb der Steck­verbinderleiste angeordneten Einspannpunkt fixiert sind.The object is achieved for a connector strip of the type mentioned above in that the contact spring terminal lugs are fixed in a clamping point arranged within the connector strip.

Die Erfindung ist mit dem Vorteil verbunden, daß bei Ver­wendung von Leiterplatten mit unterschiedlichen Plattenm dicken der für die elektrische Verbindung, beispielsweise durch Reflowlöten, notwendige Anpreßdruck stets gebildet wird. Die Erfindung ist weiterhin mit dem dem Vorteil verbunden, daß die Kontaktierung der Anschlußfahnen auf der Leiterplatte wenig Raum verbraucht.The invention is associated with the advantage that when using printed circuit boards with different plate thicknesses, the contact pressure necessary for the electrical connection, for example by reflow soldering, is always formed. The invention is also associated with the advantage that the contacting of the terminal lugs on the circuit board takes up little space.

Die Anschlußfahnen weisen relativ kurze Abmessungen auf, so daß sich die erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinderleiste durch günstige Werte für Nebensprechen und Übertragungs­güte auszeichnet.The connection lugs have relatively short dimensions, so that the connector strip according to the invention is distinguished by favorable values for crosstalk and transmission quality.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Zweichnungen näher er­läutert.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Es zeigen

  • FIG 1 die der Leiterplatte zugewandte Seite der Steckver­hinderleiste mit den Kontaktfederanschlußfahnen;
  • FIG 2 einen Querschnit durch die Anordnung nach FIG 1;
  • FIG 3 einen Ausschnitt der mit der Steckverbinderleiste verbindbaren Leiterplatte.
Show it
  • 1 shows the side of the plug-in prevention strip facing the printed circuit board with the contact spring connecting lugs;
  • 2 shows a cross section through the arrangement of FIG 1;
  • 3 shows a section of the circuit board connectable to the connector strip.

In FIG 1 ist eine Steckverbinderleiste 1 und eine mit Ihr verbundene Leiterplatte 2 dargestellt. Die Steckverbin­derleiste 1 weist mehrere parallele Reihen mit Kontakt­federkammern 11 auf, von denen einige Kontaktfedern ent­halten, die auf der hier dargestellten Seite der Steck­verbinderleiste 1 zu Anschlußfahnen 12 ausgebildet sind.1 shows a connector strip 1 and a circuit board 2 connected to it. The connector strip 1 has a plurality of parallel rows with contact spring chambers 11, some of which contain contact springs, which are formed on the side of the connector strip 1 shown here to form terminal lugs 12.

Die Leiterplatte 2 ist zwischen den Anschlußfahnen ver­schiedener Kontaktfederreihen eingeschoben. Die Leiter­platte 2 kann dabei in der Mittelebene der Steckverbin­derleiste 1 oder, wie hier in FIG 1 dargestellt, asyme­trisch angeordnet sein.The circuit board 2 is inserted between the lugs of different rows of contact springs. The circuit board 2 can be arranged asymmetrically in the center plane of the connector strip 1 or, as shown here in FIG. 1.

Die Kontaktfedern bzw. die in den Kammern 11 angeordneten Anschlußfahnen 12 sind wie anhand von FIG 2 noch erläu­tert wird in den Kammern 11 nicht durchgehend starr ge­lagert, sondern sind nur in einem in den Kammern 11, also innerhalb der Steckverbinderleiste angeordneten Einspann­punkt fixiert. Hierdurch ergibt sich für die Anschluß­fahnen 12 von dem innerhalb der Kammern 11 angeordneten Einspannpunkt bis zu ihrem freien Ende eine federnde La­gerung.The contact springs or the connecting lugs 12 arranged in the chambers 11 are, as will be explained with reference to FIG. 2, are not continuously rigidly supported in the chambers 11, but are only fixed in a clamping point arranged in the chambers 11, that is to say within the connector strip. This results in a resilient mounting for the connecting lugs 12 from the clamping point arranged within the chambers 11 to their free end.

Die Kontaktanschlußfahren 12 sind unmittelbar nach ihrem Austritt aus der Steckverbinderleiste 1 in etwa recht­winklig abgebogen und verlaufen in etwa parallel zu der der Leiterplatte zugewandten Seite der Steckverbinder­leiste. Sie sind zwischen der Steckverbinderleiste 1 und den korrespondierenden Kontaktstellen 21 der Leiter­platte 2 gradlinig ausgeformt. Die Kontaktfederanschluß­fahnen 12 drücken somit in etwa senkrecht auf die korres­pondierenden Kontaktstellen 21 der Leiterplatte 2.The contact connection driving 12 are bent approximately at right angles after their exit from the connector strip 1 and run approximately parallel to the the side of the connector strip facing the circuit board. They are formed in a straight line between the connector strip 1 and the corresponding contact points 21 of the printed circuit board 2. The contact spring terminal lugs 12 thus press approximately perpendicularly on the corresponding contact points 21 of the printed circuit board 2.

Wie FIG 1 zeigt, sind die Anschlußfahnen 12 in der Weise beschnitten, daß die Anschlußfahnen aller auf jeweils ei­ner Seite der Leiterplatte 2 angeordneter Kontaktfedern unmittelbar nebeneinander auf die korrespondierenden Kon­taktstellen 21 der Leiterplatte 2 federnd drücken. Diese Anschlußfahnen 12 liegen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene parallel zu der der Leiterplatte 2 zugewandten Seite der Steckverbindungsleiste 1.As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting lugs 12 are trimmed in such a way that the connecting lugs of all contact springs arranged on one side of the printed circuit board 2 spring directly onto the corresponding contact points 21 of the printed circuit board 2. These terminal lugs 12 lie in a common plane parallel to the side of the connector strip 1 facing the printed circuit board 2.

Diese Anordnung zeichnet sich durch kurze Abmessungen und durch genügend hohe, durch die senkrecht auftreffenden Anschlußfahnen 12 bewirkte Werte für den Anpreßdruck aus, die eine sichere Kontaktierung der Anschlußfahnen 12 mit den korrespondierenden Kontaktstellen 21, insbesondere nach dem sogenannten Reflowlötverfahren ermöglichen.This arrangement is characterized by short dimensions and by sufficiently high values for the contact pressure caused by the vertically incident connecting lugs 12, which enable reliable contacting of the connecting lugs 12 with the corresponding contact points 21, in particular according to the so-called reflow soldering method.

FIG 2 veranschaulicht sowohl die Lagerung der Kontaktfe­dern bzw. der Anschlußfahnen 12 in den Kammern 11 sowie das Aufdrücken der Anschlußfahnen 12 auf die Kontaktstel­len 21 der Leiterplatte 2. Die Anschlußfahnen 12 und die Kontaktstellen 21 werden, wie schon zuvor angesprochen, beispielsweise nach dem sogenannten Reflowlötverfahren miteinander leitend verbunden. Wird anstelle der in FIG 2 dargestellten Leiterplatte 2 eine andere Leiterplatte 2 mit größerer Plattendicke zwischen die Kontaktfederan­schlußfahnen 12 geschoben, so bewegen sich die im inne­ren der Kammern 11 federnd gelagerten Anschlußfahnen 12 um die entsprechende Strecke in Richtung der Kammern 11. Zugleich vergrößert sich der von den Anschlußfahnen 11 ausgeübte Druck auf die Leiterplatte 2.2 illustrates both the mounting of the contact springs or the connecting lugs 12 in the chambers 11 and the pressing of the connecting lugs 12 onto the contact points 21 of the printed circuit board 2. The connecting lugs 12 and the contact points 21 are, as already mentioned, for example by the so-called reflow soldering method connected with each other. If, instead of the printed circuit board 2 shown in FIG. 2, another printed circuit board 2 with a greater board thickness is pushed between the contact spring connection lugs 12, the connection lugs 12 which are resiliently mounted in the interior of the chambers 11 move by the corresponding distance in the direction of the chambers 11. At the same time, the pressure exerted by the connecting lugs 11 on the printed circuit board 2 increases.

Die Kontaktfederanschlußfahnen 12 weisen gegenüber ihrem zwischen der Steckverbinderleiste 1 und den Kontaktstel­len 121 angeordneten Teil abgebogene Verlängerungen 121 auf. Diese können auf der entsprechenden Oberfläche der Leiterplatte 2 aufliegen bzw. maximal um 90° gegenüber dieser Oberfläche der Leiterplatte 2 abgebogen seien. Die Verlängerungen 121 aller aus einer Kontaktfederreihe aus­tretender Kontaktfederanschlußfahnen 12 sind im gleichen Winkel gegenüber der benachbarten Oberfläche der Leiter­platte 2 abgebogen. Als besonders vorteilhaft haben sich Winkel zwischen 30° und 45° herausgestellt.The contact spring connection lugs 12 have bent extensions 121 with respect to their part arranged between the connector strip 1 and the contact points 121. These can rest on the corresponding surface of the printed circuit board 2 or be bent at most by 90 ° with respect to this surface of the printed circuit board 2. The extensions 121 of all contact spring connecting lugs 12 emerging from a row of contact springs are bent at the same angle with respect to the adjacent surface of the printed circuit board 2. Angles between 30 ° and 45 ° have been found to be particularly advantageous.

FIG 3 zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Leiterplatte 2 mit Kon­taktstellen 21, wobei, wie in FIG 1 dargestellt, bei­spielsweise drei Kontaktfederreihen mit Anschlußfahnen 12 auf der einen Seite der Leiterplatte und beispielsweise zwei Reihen Kontaktfedern mit Anschlußfahnen 12 gegen die andere Seite der Leiterplatte 2 drücken und beispiels­weise nach dem sogenannten Reflowlötverfahren miteinander leitend verbunden sind. Die Kontaktstellen 21 sind also, wie auch schon die FIG 1 und 2 zeigen, auf beiden Seiten der Leiterplatte 2 angeordnet und setzen sich zu Leiter­bahnen 22 fort. Die Kontaktstellen 21 haben, wie FIG 3 zeigt, eine längliche, rechteckige Form, die aber vorteil­hafterweise relativ kleinflächig und damit platzsparend sein kann.3 shows a section of the circuit board 2 with contact points 21, wherein, as shown in FIG. 1, for example three rows of contact springs with terminal lugs 12 on one side of the circuit board and, for example, two rows of contact springs with terminal lugs 12 press against the other side of the circuit board 2 and for example are conductively connected to one another by the so-called reflow soldering method. The contact points 21 are, as already shown in FIGS 1 and 2, arranged on both sides of the circuit board 2 and continue to conductors 22. As shown in FIG. 3, the contact points 21 have an elongated, rectangular shape, which, however, can advantageously be relatively small in area and thus save space.
