Beschreibung description

Elektrische Verbindung Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Verbindung von einem Stecker mit einem Schaltungsträger nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer derartigen Verbindung gemäß Anspruch 9. Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet von elektrischenThe invention relates to an electrical connection of a plug to a circuit carrier according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing such a connection according to claim 9. The invention relates to the field of electrical

Steckverbindungen zum Herstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen zwei durch eine Wand voneinander getrennten elektrischen Bereichen. Derartige elektrische Verbindungen werden beispielsweise bei einem Einsatz von Getriebesteuergeräten in Kraftfahrzeugen verwendet, wobei der Schaltungsträger, auf dem zum Beispiel eine Steuereinheit angeordnet ist, im Steuer¬ gerätgehäuse mithilfe eines Stecker mit elektrischen Bauteilen außerhalb des Gehäuses elektrisch verbunden ist. In der Regel wird der Stecker direkt auf den Schaltungsträger bzw. der Leiterplatte angeordnet. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die Toleranzketten bei der Herstellung der Verbindung möglichst kurz sind. Nachteilig bei dieser Anordnung ist jedoch, dass die Öffnung in der Gehäusewand etwas größer sein muss als der Stecker selbst, was zu Schwierigkeiten bei der Abdichtung des Steckers zur Gehäusewand führen kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil bei dieser Anordnung ist, dass die Kontaktfläche zwischen der Gehäuseinnenwand und dem Schaltungsträger, deren Größe unter anderem die Höhe des Wärmeübertrags vom Schaltungsträger hin zum Gehäuse bestimmt , unter Umständen relativ gering ist.Plug-in connections for establishing an electrical connection between two electrical regions separated from one another by a wall. Such electrical connections are used for example in the use of transmission control units in motor vehicles, wherein the circuit carrier, on which, for example, a control unit is arranged in the control ¬ device housing using a plug with electrical components outside the housing is electrically connected. In general, the plug is placed directly on the circuit board or the circuit board. This ensures that the tolerance chains are as short as possible during the production of the connection. A disadvantage of this arrangement, however, is that the opening in the housing wall must be slightly larger than the plug itself, which can lead to difficulties in sealing the plug to the housing wall. Another disadvantage with this arrangement is that the contact surface between the housing inner wall and the circuit carrier, whose size among other things determines the amount of heat transfer from the circuit carrier to the housing, may be relatively low.

Gleichzeitig ist dadurch, dass der Stecker mit mindestens seiner gesamten Querschnittsfläche in Kontakt mit dem Schaltungsträger steht, die Fläche des Schaltungsträgers relativ groß, was sich im Falle eines hochwertigen keramischen Schaltungsträgers kostentreibend auswirkt. At the same time, because the plug is in contact with the circuit carrier with at least its entire cross-sectional area, the area of the circuit carrier is relatively large, which has a cost-increasing effect in the case of a high-quality ceramic circuit carrier.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen einem Stecker und einem Schaltungsträger der eingangs genannten Art derart zu schaffen, die gegenüber dem Stand der Technik in Bezug auf Aufwand beim Abdichten des Steckers gegen das Gehäuse und in Bezug auf Reduzierung der Schaltungsträgergröße und damit der Kosten eine Verbesserung darstellt. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connection between a plug and a connector Circuit carrier of the aforementioned type to provide such over the prior art in terms of effort in sealing the plug against the housing and in terms of reducing the circuit carrier size and thus the cost is an improvement.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine elektrische Verbindung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Bei der erfindungsgemäße Verbindung zwischen einem Stecker außerhalb eines Gehäuses und einem Schaltungsträger innerhalb des Gehäuses ist die Querschnittsfläche der Öffnung in der Gehäusewand, durch die ein Steckkontakt des Steckers zur Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung ragt, kleiner als die Stirnfläche des Steckers, wobei die Stirnfläche des Steckers die Öffnung vollkommen überdeckt. Der Schaltungsträger hingegen überdeckt die Öffnung zumindest teilweise. This object is achieved by an electrical connection with the features of claim 1. In the inventive compound between a plug outside a housing and a circuit carrier within the housing, the cross-sectional area of the opening in the housing wall, through which a plug contact of the plug for the preparation of electrical connection protrudes, smaller than the end face of the plug, wherein the end face of the plug completely covers the opening. The circuit carrier, however, covers the opening at least partially.

Dadurch, dass die Stirnfläche des Steckers die Öffnung in der Gehäusewand vollkommen überdeckt, dient die der Stirnfläche zugewandte Seite der Gehäusewand bei der Herstellung der Verbindung insbesondere als Anschlag zum einfachen Positionieren des Steckers. Ferner wird durch diese Anordnung vorteilhaft¬ erweise das Abdichten des Steckers zum Gehäuse erleichtert. Zum Beispiel kann insbesondere in einer die Stirnfläche umlaufenden Nut eine als Dichtungsring ausgeführte Dichtung vorgesehen sein, die nach der Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung den Stecker gegen die Gehäusewand in axialer Richtung insbesondere öldicht abdichtet. Due to the fact that the end face of the plug completely covers the opening in the housing wall, the side of the housing wall facing the end face serves, in particular, as a stop for the simple positioning of the plug in the production of the connection. Further, the sealing of the connector is facilitated by this arrangement to the housing advantageous ¬ legally. For example, can be provided in particular as a sealing ring running in a circumferential groove groove, which seals the plug against the housing wall in the axial direction in particular oil-tight after the preparation of the compound according to the invention.

In einer alternativen Ausgestaltungsform zur Verbindung mit axial wirkender Dichtung zwischen Stecker und Gehäusewand kann die Dichtung radial, in Richtung quer zur Längsachse des Steckers wirken, zwischen dem Stecker und einem die Öffnung in der Gehäusewand umlaufenden Vorsprung an deren Außenseite. Dabei kann dieser Vorsprung als separates Teil ausgeführt sein oder insbesondere auch in der Gehäusewand integriert sein. Als Dichtung ist eine Feststoffdichtung, zum Beispiel ein Dich- tungsring aus Kunststoff, aber auch eine Flüssigdichtung denkbar . In an alternative embodiment for connection with axially acting seal between the plug and the housing wall, the seal can act radially, in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the plug, between the plug and the opening in the housing wall circumferential projection on the outside thereof. In this case, this projection can be designed as a separate part or in particular be integrated in the housing wall. As seal is a solid seal, for example a seal Plastic ring, but also a liquid seal conceivable.

In der Regel sind auf den Schaltungsträger elektrische Bauteile wie zum Beispiel Prozessoren oder Leistungshalbleiter angeordnet, die im Betrieb Wärme produzieren. Die Kontaktfläche zwischen dem Schaltungsträger und der Gehäuseinnenwand dient insbesondere zum einen bei der Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung als Anschlag zum einfachen Positionieren des Schaltungsträgers an der Gehäuseinnenwand, zum anderen der Wärmeabfuhr vom Schaltungsträger hin zum Gehäuse. In general, electrical components such as processors or power semiconductors are arranged on the circuit carrier, which produce heat during operation. The contact surface between the circuit carrier and the housing inner wall serves, in particular, on the one hand in the production of the compound according to the invention as a stop for easy positioning of the circuit carrier on the housing inner wall, on the other hand, the heat dissipation from the circuit carrier to the housing.

Dadurch, dass die Querschnittsfläche der Öffnung in der Due to the fact that the cross-sectional area of the opening in the

Gehäusewand kleiner ist als die Stirnfläche des Steckers, ist vor allem für den Fall, dass der Schaltungsträger die Öffnung komplett überdeckt, die Kontaktfläche zwischen der Housing wall is smaller than the end face of the plug, especially in the event that the circuit carrier completely covers the opening, the contact surface between the

Gehäuseinnenwand und dem Schaltungsträger vergleichsweise größer als bei einer Anordnung, bei der der Stecker direkt mit dem Schaltungsträger verbunden ist. Dies führt insbesondere zu einem vergleichsweise vergrößerten Wärmetransport vom Housing inner wall and the circuit substrate comparatively larger than in an arrangement in which the plug is connected directly to the circuit carrier. This leads in particular to a comparatively increased heat transfer from

Schaltungsträger zum Gehäuse. Circuit carrier to the housing.

Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil dabei ist, dass dies auch insbesondere zu einer vergleichsweisen Reduzierung der Fläche des Schal- tungsträgers und somit vor allem bei teueren keramischenAn additional advantage is that this also in particular to a comparative reduction of the surface of the circuit carrier and thus especially in expensive ceramic

Schaltungsträgern zu einer Kosteneinsparung führt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung ist es jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass der Schaltungsträger die Öffnung komplett überdeckt, es muss aber sicher gestellt sein, dass die elektrische Verbindung zwischen Steckkontakt des Steckers und entsprechender Aufnahme im Schaltungsträger hergestellt ist. Circuit carriers leads to a cost savings. In the connection according to the invention, however, it is not absolutely necessary for the circuit carrier to completely cover the opening, but it must be ensured that the electrical connection between the plug contact of the plug and the corresponding receptacle in the circuit carrier is made.

Der Schaltungsträger ist mit dem Stecker insbesondere mittels Schrauben oder Nieten kraft- oder formschlüssig verbunden. The circuit carrier is positively or positively connected to the plug, in particular by means of screws or rivets.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Verbindung eines Anschlusskontakts mit der entsprechenden Aufnahme im Schaltungsträger als sogenannter Press-Fit-Kontakt ausgeführt. Ein Press-Fit-Kontakt ist eine Einpressverbindung und wird durch Einpressen eines in der Regel als Stift ausgeführten Anschlusskontakts in eine als durchkontaktiertes Schaltungsträger- bzw. Leiterplattenloch ausgeführte Aufnahme hergestellt. Ausschlaggebend hierbei ist, dass der Stift im Querschnitt eine größere Diagonale aufweist, als das durchkontaktierte Leiterplattenloch im Durchmesser. Dadurch entsteht beim Einpressen des Stiftes in die Aufnahme eine Überpressung, die üblicherweise durch Verformung des Stiftes aufgenommen werden muss. Durch das elastische Verhalten des Stifts wird die Durchkontaktierung im Schaltungsträger weniger belastet . Advantageously, the connection of a connection contact with the corresponding receptacle in the circuit carrier is designed as a so-called press-fit contact. A press-fit contact is a press-in connection and is made by pressing a usually designed as a pin terminal in a executed as durchkontaktiertes circuit board or printed circuit board hole recording. Decisive here is that the pin has a larger diagonal in cross section, as the plated-through PCB hole in diameter. This creates when pressing the pin in the recording an overpressure, which usually has to be absorbed by deformation of the pin. Due to the elastic behavior of the pin, the through-connection in the circuit carrier is less stressed.

Ferner ist dadurch eine größere Lochtoleranz der Furthermore, this is a larger hole tolerance of

durchkontaktierten Bohrungen im Schaltungsträger zulässig und es ist eine Mehrfacheinpressung von Anschlusskontakten in die gleiche Leiterplattenbohrung möglich. Through holes in the circuit board permissible and it is a Mehrfacheinpressung of connection contacts in the same PCB bore possible.

Gegenüber der herkömmlichen Löttechnik hat die Compared to conventional soldering, the

Press-Fit-Technik insbesondere folgende Vorteile: Press-fit technology in particular the following advantages:

- kein Löten, dadurch keine thermische Belastung der Leiterplatte, no soldering, thus no thermal stress on the printed circuit board,

keine „kalten" Lötstellen,  no "cold" solder joints,

keine Kurzschlüsse durch Lötbrücken,  no short circuits due to solder bridges,

lange Anschlusskontaktstifte bleiben frei von Lötzinn und können als rückseitige Kontaktiereinrichtung verwendet werden,  long terminal pins remain free of solder and can be used as a back contactor,

einstellbare Impedanz der Verbindung durch definierte Geometrie, dadurch gute HF-Eigenschaften,  adjustable impedance of the connection due to defined geometry, thus good RF characteristics,

einfache Demontage der Verbindung durch rein mechanisches Auspressen der Stifte.  easy disassembly of the connection by purely mechanical pressing of the pins.

Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer elektrische Verbindung zwischen einem Stecker und einem Schaltungsträger der eingangs genannten Art derart zu schaffen, dass die Verbindung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik in Bezug auf Aufwand beim Abdichten des Steckers gegen das Gehäuse und in Bezug auf Positionieren der beteiligten Komponenten zueinander eine Verbesserung darstellt. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an electrical connection between a plug and a circuit board of the type mentioned above such that the connection with respect to the prior art in terms of effort in sealing the plug against the housing and in terms of positioning the involved components to each other is an improvement.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 9. This object is achieved according to the invention by a method having the features of claim 9.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Verbindung zwischen einem Stecker außerhalb eines Gehäuses und einem Schaltungsträger innerhalb des Gehäuses, wobei der Stecker mindestens einen Steckkontakt umfasst und in Richtung In the method according to the invention for establishing a connection between a plug outside a housing and a circuit carrier within the housing, wherein the plug comprises at least one plug contact and in the direction

Gehäusewand eine Stirnfläche aufweist, weiterhin der Housing wall has an end face, continue the

Schaltungsträger eine Aufnahme für einen Steckkontakt umfasst, und die Querschnittsfläche der Öffnung in der Gehäusewand kleiner ist als die Stirnfläche des Steckers, wird zunächst der Schaltungsträgers an der Innenseite der Gehäusewand derart positioniert, dass der Schaltungsträger die Öffnung in der Gehäusewand zumindest teilweise überdeckt.  Circuit board comprises a receptacle for a plug contact, and the cross-sectional area of the opening in the housing wall is smaller than the end face of the plug, the circuit carrier is first positioned on the inside of the housing wall such that the circuit carrier at least partially covers the opening in the housing wall.

Anschließend wird der Stecker an der Außenseite der Gehäusewand derart positioniert, dass seine Stirnfläche die Öffnung in der Gehäusewand vollkommen überdeckt. Dabei kann eine Dichtung zwischen Stecker und Gehäusewand platziert werden. Gleichzeitig wird dabei die Verbindung des Steckkontakts des Steckers mit der entsprechenden Aufnahme im Schaltungsträger insbesondere mittels einer bereits beschriebenen Press-Fit-Verbindung hergestellt. Subsequently, the plug is positioned on the outside of the housing wall such that its end face completely covers the opening in the housing wall. In this case, a seal between the plug and the housing wall can be placed. At the same time, the connection of the plug contact of the plug with the corresponding receptacle in the circuit carrier is produced in particular by means of an already described press-fit connection.

Danach wird der Schaltungsträger mit dem Stecker insbesondere mittels eines Verbindungselements wie einer Schraube oder einem Niet kraft- oder formschlüssig verbunden. Thereafter, the circuit carrier is positively or positively connected to the plug, in particular by means of a connecting element such as a screw or a rivet.

Schaltungsträgers 4 angeordnet ist. Der Schaltungsträger 4 ist mit dem Stecker 1 insbesondere mittels Schrauben 5 kraft¬ schlüssig verbunden. Circuit carrier 4 is arranged. The circuit carrier 4 is connected to the plug 1 in particular by means of screws 5 force ¬ conclusively.

Nachteilig bei dieser Anordnung ist , dass die Öffnung 6 in der Gehäusewand 3 größer ist als der Stecker 1 selbst, was, wie bereits erwähnt, zu Schwierigkeiten bei der Abdichtung desA disadvantage of this arrangement is that the opening 6 in the housing wall 3 is greater than the plug 1 itself, which, as already mentioned, to difficulties in the sealing of the

Steckers 1 zur Gehäusewand 3 führen kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil bei dieser Anordnung ist, dass die Wärmeabfuhr vom Schaltungsträger 4 hin zum Gehäuse, die von der Kontaktfläche zwischen der Gehäuseinnenwand und dem Schaltungsträger 4 abhängig ist, relativ gering ist. Plug 1 can lead to the housing wall 3. Another disadvantage with this arrangement is that the heat dissipation from the circuit substrate 4 to the housing, which is dependent on the contact surface between the housing inner wall and the circuit substrate 4, is relatively low.

Weiterhin hängt die Größe des Schaltungsträgers 4 von der Größe des Steckers 1 ab. ^ Furthermore, the size of the circuit carrier 4 depends on the size of the plug 1. ^

Fig. 2 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße elektrische Verbindung eines derartigen Steckers 1 außerhalb des Gehäuses und dem Schal¬ tungsträger 4 innerhalb des Gehäuses, wobei hier die Fig. 2 shows an inventive electrical connection of such a connector 1 outside the housing and the scarf ¬ tion carrier 4 within the housing, in which case the

Querschnittsfäche der Öffnung 6 kleiner ist als die Stirnfläche 8 des Steckers 1, und der Stecker 1 derart mit seiner Stirnfläche 8 an der Außenseite der Gehäusewand 3 angeordnet ist, dass die Stirnfläche 8 die Öffnung 6 vollkommen überdeckt. Der Schaltungsträger 4 ist an der Innenseite der Gehäusewand 3 angeordnet. Je größer die Kontaktfläche zwischen der Innenseite der Gehäusewand 3 und dem Schaltungsträger 4 ist, desto größer ist der Wärmeabtransport vom Schaltungsträger 4 zum Gehäuse. Zur Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung ragen zwei Steck- kontakte 2 durch die Öffnung 6 hindurch und werden jeweils in einer entsprechenden Aufnahme 7 des Schaltungsträgers 4 elektrisch leitend aufgenommen. Die Anzahl der Steckkontakte 2 kann je nach Anwendung variieren. Dadurch, dass die Querschnittsfläche der Öffnung 6 in derQuerschnittsfäche the opening 6 is smaller than the end face 8 of the plug 1, and the plug 1 is arranged with its end face 8 on the outside of the housing wall 3, that the end face 8 completely covers the opening 6. The circuit carrier 4 is arranged on the inside of the housing wall 3. The larger the contact area between the inside of the housing wall 3 and the circuit substrate 4, the greater the heat dissipation from the circuit substrate 4 to the housing. To make the electrical connection, two plug contacts 2 protrude through the opening 6 and are each received in an electrically conductive manner in a corresponding receptacle 7 of the circuit carrier 4. The number of plug contacts 2 may vary depending on the application. Characterized in that the cross-sectional area of the opening 6 in the

Gehäusewand 3 kleiner ist als die Stirnfläche 8 des Steckers 1, kann im Vergleich zu einer Anordnung wie in Fig. 1, bei der der Stecker 1 direkt mit dem Schaltungsträger 4 verbunden ist, die Fläche des Schaltungsträgers 4 entsprechend reduziert werden, was vor allem bei teueren keramischen Schaltungsträgern zu einer Kosteneinsparung führt. Darüber hinaus kann dadurch insbesondere auch die Größe des Gehäuses entsprechend reduziert werden . Der Schaltungsträger 4 ist mit dem Stecker 1 insbesondere mittels Schrauben 5 als Verbindungselement kraftschlüssig verbunden. Denkbar wäre auch eine formschlüssige Verbindung, zum Beispiel mittels eines Niet. Bei dieser kraftschlüssigen Verbindung ist die Schraube 5 jeweils durch eine entsprechende Aussparung im Schaltungsträger 4 und in der Gehäusewand 3 hindurchgeführt. Die Aussparung in der Gehäusewand 3 kann komplett umlaufend oder auch nur teilweise geschlossen sein. Es wäre auch denkbar, dass die Schraube 5 innerhalb der Öffnung 6 der Gehäusewand 3 geführt wird. Housing wall 3 is smaller than the end face 8 of the plug 1, in comparison to an arrangement as shown in Fig. 1, in which the plug 1 is connected directly to the circuit substrate 4, the surface of the circuit substrate 4 are reduced accordingly, especially in expensive ceramic circuit boards leads to a cost savings. In addition, in particular, the size of the housing can be reduced accordingly. The circuit carrier 4 is positively connected to the plug 1 in particular by means of screws 5 as a connecting element. Also conceivable would be a positive connection, for example by means of a rivet. In this frictional connection, the screw 5 is guided in each case through a corresponding recess in the circuit substrate 4 and in the housing wall 3. The recess in the housing wall 3 may be completely circumferential or even partially closed. It It would also be conceivable that the screw 5 is guided within the opening 6 of the housing wall 3.

Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen einem Steckkontakt 2 und einer entsprechenden Aufnahme 7 des Schaltungsträgers 4 kann insbesondere als Press-Fit-Verbindung ausgeführt sein, wobei der Steckkontakt 2, in nicht dargestellter Weise, im Querschnitt eine größere Diagonale aufweist, als die Aufnahme 7. Dadurch entsteht beim Einpressen des Steckkontakts 2 in die Aufnahme 7 eine Überpressung. Die langen stiftförmigen Steckkontakte 2 sind dabei frei von Lötzinn und können zusätzlich als rückseitige Kontaktiereinrichtungen verwendet werden . Weitere Vorteile der Press-Fit-Technik gegenüber der herkömmlichen Löttechnik sind weiter oben bereits ausführlich beschrieben worden. The electrical connection between a plug-in contact 2 and a corresponding receptacle 7 of the circuit substrate 4 may in particular be designed as a press-fit connection, wherein the plug contact 2, in a manner not shown, in cross section has a larger diagonal, as the recording 7. This arises when pressing the plug-in contact 2 in the receptacle 7 overpressing. The long pin-shaped plug contacts 2 are free of solder and can also be used as back contact. Further advantages of the press-fit technique over the conventional soldering technique have already been described in detail above.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung mit einer radial, in Richtung quer zur Längsachse des Steckers 1 wirkenden Dichtung 10 zwischen Stecker 1 und einem die Öffnung 6 in der Gehäusewand 3 umlaufenden Vorsprung 11 an deren Außenseite. Dabei kann dieser Vorsprung 11 als separates Teil, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, ausgeführt sein oder insbesondere auch in der Gehäusewand 3 integriert sein. Als Dichtung 10 ist eine Feststoffdichtung, zum Beispiel ein Dichtungsring aus Kunststoff, aber auch eine Flüssigdichtung denkbar. Fig. 3 shows a compound according to the invention with a radially acting in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the plug 1 seal 10 between the plug 1 and the opening 6 in the housing wall 3 circumferential projection 11 on the outside thereof. In this case, this projection 11 may be designed as a separate part, as shown in Fig. 3, or in particular be integrated in the housing wall 3. As a seal 10 is a solid seal, for example, a sealing ring made of plastic, but also a liquid seal conceivable.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung mit einer axial, in Richtung der Längsachse des Steckers 1 wirkenden Dichtung 10 zwischen Stecker 1 und Gehäusewand 3. Dabei ist die Dichtung 10 als Dichtungsring ausgeführt, der in einer die Stirnfläche 8 des Steckers 1 umlaufenden Nut 9 angeordnet ist.
