Definitions

the invention relates to a terminal with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Known terminals are passive electromechanical components. They are usually used to produce the electrical connection from an electrical connection, in particular a wire or cable, to an electronic module, in particular an electronic module in the form of a populated printed circuit board. Meanwhile, a variety of different variants of such terminals can be found on the market. On the one hand, a distinction is made between pluggable and soldered conductor terminals, depending on the type of connection that is made between the terminal and the circuit board. On the other hand, one differentiates, depending on the type of connection that takes place between the electrical connection and the terminal, between screw terminals, in which the electrical contact between these components is ensured by screwing, and spring terminals, in which the electrical contact is ensured by spring force. The size of the terminal is determined essentially by the size of the electrical connections.
the object of the invention is therefore to enable a further miniaturization of electronic devices.
the terminal according to the invention has a housing, at least two terminal contacts for establishing an electrical connection with electrical connections and connection elements for establishing an electrical connection to an outside of the terminal arranged electronic module, which is not necessarily formed by a populated printed circuit board, however.
Terminal itself contains an electronic module and that the terminal contacts are connected to the connection elements via the electronic module contained in the terminal.
the invention is based on the recognition that it is possible to use the available space in the terminal, which is determined by the size of the connections, for the arrangement of an electronic module in the terminal. This makes it possible to move a portion of the required for a desired function, interconnected electronic components, which were to arrange according to the prior art, all on the outside of the terminal arranged electronic module to the electronic assembly contained in the terminal or for an additional Function needed electronic components there to arrange. As a consequence, in both cases the electronic assembly located outside the terminal must contain fewer electronic components and can therefore be made more compact.
terminal contacts may be formed as SSschraemmessore or as spring terminal contacts depending on the requirements of the particular application.
the connecting elements can be designed as a solder pin, socket element or contact spring.
the electronic assembly contained in the terminal has at least one contact surface and it is at least one terminal contact or at least one connection element via a spring element which acts on the contact surface, electrically connected to the electronic module contained in the terminal.
This embodiment makes it possible to produce the electrical contact with the electronic module in a simple yet reliable manner. Furthermore, if all the contacts required by the electronic assembly are made in this way, on the one hand there is the possibility of replacing the electronic assembly contained in the terminal, while on the other hand, a standardization of the terminal takes place, so that is avoided, for each electronic module to which the Terminal is to be arranged, a separate mass production must be launched.
An independent invention can be seen in a terminal according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein at least two of the terminal contacts have a further contact area, which is resilient, so that at the terminal an additional electronic component, in particular a resistor, can be arranged, preferably between the two terminal contacts having the resilient contact area.
the terminal itself also contains an electronic module and if the terminal contacts are connected via the electronic module contained in the terminal with the connection elements, so that a corresponding embodiment of the terminal according to claim 1 is advantageous.
the electronic module contained in the terminal is a transceiver circuit with a signal bus assigned to it and the electronic component is a correspondingly adapted terminating resistor.
connection terminals according to the invention it is provided that the terminal is surrounded by a shielding housing, which consists in particular of metal.
a shielding housing which consists in particular of metal.
the shielding is designed as a stamped and bent part, which can be slipped over the terminal in particular.
a terminal which is particularly advantageous from the standpoint of standardization provides an electronic subassembly in the form of a populated printed circuit board which is contained in the terminal.
the electronic assembly contained in the terminal is designed as populated stamped grid, wherein the populated stamped grid is preferably encapsulated.
the terminal contacts and / or the connection elements are integrated in the stamped grid, which brings a further reduction in manufacturing costs.
the punched grid can be stabilized during its processing by auxiliary webs, which are recessed in the encapsulation and then subsequently cut to prevent current flow through the lead frame, which does not meet the requirements of the electronic assembly.
a further cost savings can be achieved if the electronic module contained in the terminal forms part of the housing of the terminal.
an overmolded populated stamped grid can be used as a wall or a bottom part of the housing.
the terminal board circuit board assembly according to the invention has an electronic module in the form of a printed circuit board and a connection terminal according to the invention electrically connected thereto.
FIGS. 1 to 5 illustrated first embodiment of a terminal 100 has an upper housing part 101 and a lower housing part 102, which together form a housing.
the upper housing part 101 is, as particularly well in the exploded view of FIG. 2 can be seen from receiving openings 121 for clamping screws 106 and receiving openings 122 for the terminals 107 a, 107 b of an electrical component 107, which is designed as a resistor, passes through.
