Description

The invention relates to a connector, in particular direct connector for contacting contact openings of a printed circuit board, with a contact carrier, which may have coding, in particular coding pins and a reverse polarity, in particular in the form of Polungsvorsprüngen with formed by the contact carrier conductor insertion channels for receiving connecting conductors and contact recesses for receiving plug contacts, with a securing hood, which surrounds the contact carrier, wherein the contact carrier in the safety hood in the insertion direction of the connector displaceable between a mounting position and a pre-assembly is displaced and with a connector holding the circuit board primary fuse, which is part of the fuse hood, wherein the primary fuse is displaceable from a latch position to a release position.

Such connectors are well known from the documentally unassignable prior art. The connectors serve to make contact with a connecting conductor to a printed circuit board by means of plug contacts. The connectors can be designed as a direct connector. These direct connectors have plug contacts whose conductor sections are contacted directly by the printed circuit board. These direct connectors are provided with plug contacts for specially shaped printed circuit boards, which have openings for this purpose, the inner peripheral surface is provided with an electrical layer. This electrically conductive layer of the printed circuit board comes into direct contact with the contact fingers of the plug contacts.

There are generic connectors known which have a safety hood. The fuse cover surrounds the contact carrier of the connector outer circumference, wherein the Contact carrier is movably arranged in the safety hood to be able to be moved from a pre-assembly to a mounting position.

Once the connector is on the circuit board, the contact carrier, which carries the plug contacts, is moved from the pre-assembly in the mounting position. The fuse cover surrounding the contact carrier then securely holds the connector to the circuit board.

Furthermore, generic connectors are known to carry a primary fuse. The primary fuse secures the connector to the circuit board and protects the contact between the connector and the circuit board against unintentional release. Furthermore, the primary fuse serves to protect against increased tensile forces, which are applied by the connecting conductors. The primary fuse thus ensures a secure and permanent contact.

The primary fuse forms at least one locking element, which cooperates with cutouts in the circuit board to arrange the connector to the circuit board. These locking elements have latching means which engage under the circuit board.

Connectors are subjected to constant miniaturization, with the requirements for securing the connector to the circuit board remain at least constant.

The object of the invention is to provide a connector whose design ensures an optimized and secure fixing of the primary fuse to the circuit board.

The invention is solved by a connector having the features of claim 1, in particular its characterizing feature, after which the contact carrier holds in its mounting position within the safety hood, the primary fuse in its locked position.

The main advantage of the invention is that the primary fuse of the fuse cover is held by the contact carrier located in the mounting position on the circuit board in the locked position. The primary fuse is thus blocked against displacement into the release position and removal of the connector from the circuit board is not possible nondestructive. A connector fixed in this way on the printed circuit board can thus withstand higher loads and can therefore also be used in environments with increased vibration without detaching from the printed circuit board.

It is provided that the primary fuse comprises at least one locking arm arranged on the locking arm, which extends in the plugging direction. The locking arm arranged on the securing arm engages under the printed circuit board in order to arrange the plug connector on the printed circuit board.

In addition, it is envisaged that the contact carrier is arranged in its mounting position in that space in which the latching arm is to shift to take the release position and thus blocks the displacement movement of the latching arm in the release position.

Advantageously, it is provided that the primary fuse has at least two mutually opposite latching arms, wherein the space is arranged for the arrangement of the contact carrier in its mounting position between the latching arms.

Furthermore, it is envisaged that the primary fuse comprises at least two paired juxtaposed latching arms whose locking members have different locking geometries.

It is envisaged that the latching member of the first latching arm has a latching surface which engages under the printed circuit board and which is oriented substantially orthogonally to the plugging direction of the plug connector. The locking surface is thus aligned approximately parallel to the underside of the circuit board. The connector is thus secured against tensile force. The holding force of the first locking arm is up to 60 Newton.

It is further provided that the latching member of the second latching arm has a circuit board at least teiluntergreifende latching surface which is formed starting from the latching arm in the direction of insertion drop. The locking arm initially serves to compensate for tolerances between the contact carrier of the connector and the circuit board. Depending on the thickness of the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board is completely or at least partially underlaid by the sloping latching surface and, in addition to the first latching surface, provides the plug connector with support on the printed circuit board.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the angle between the sloping locking surface with the circuit board encloses an angle of 20 ° and thus allows a tolerance compensation of up to 10% of the nominal thickness of the circuit board.

Furthermore, it is provided that the safety hood has two oppositely arranged and oriented in the insertion direction Rastarmpaare. The latching arms of different Rastarmpaare with locking members of the same geometry are diagonally opposite each other.

Due to the diagonally opposite arrangement of the locking members of the same geometry is designed to prevent the tilting of the connector in the circuit board on the one hand and on the other hand ensures protection against increased traction.

In order to release the connector from the circuit board, it is provided that each latching arms has a release cam, which serves the return displacement of the locking member in the space of the release position to separate the connector from the circuit board, wherein the contact carrier is displaced in the pre-assembly. The contact carrier must be in the preassembly position prior to disconnecting the connector from the circuit board to avoid blocking the latching arms of the primary fuse.

However, the release cams of the latching arms are optional and therefore not a mandatory feature of the latching arms.

In the figures, a connector according to the invention is provided overall with the reference numeral 10.

In the FIGS. 1 to 14 a first embodiment of the connector 10 is disclosed. A second embodiment is in the FIGS. 15 to 18 shown. Identical or equivalent components are named with identical reference numerals and terms. Unless otherwise specified, the comments on an embodiment apply mutatis mutandis to the alternative embodiment.

In the Fig. 1 is shown in addition to the connector 10 with a contact carrier 11 and a secondary fuse 26, a printed circuit board 19.

The connector 10 has the contact carrier 11 which forms a housing 13 for plug contacts 12. The housing 13 of the

Contact carrier 11 is provided with conductor insertion channels 14, which serve to receive connecting leads, not shown here. These are electrically connected via insulation displacement forks 48 with the plug contacts 12. The plug contacts 12 form the contact fingers 49, which engage under the contact opening 36 of a printed circuit board 19 as soon as the plug connector 10 is arranged on the printed circuit board 19, such as in Fig. 11 shown.

In addition, the housing 13 is provided with contact recesses 15, in which the plug contacts 12 are inserted. The housing 13 carries on its outer surface a plurality of Kodierstifte 16, which project the connector 10 in the insertion direction and the connector 10 on the circuit board 19 with a corresponding coding, in particular in the form of Codierbohrungen 37, assign.

The housing 13 has on its front side 20 snap hooks 21, by means of which a plurality of connectors 10 can be arranged for confectioning purposes together. On the back 22 of the contact carrier 11, the housing 13 forms contours for receiving 23 of latching hooks 21, by means of which more connectors 10 can be arranged on the contact carrier 11.

Furthermore, the contact carrier 11 is equipped with a reverse polarity fuse 18. The polarity reversal fuse 18 is intended to prevent a short-circuiting contacting of the plug contacts 12 with the contact openings 36 of the printed circuit board 19. The reverse polarity fuse 18 is formed by three of the underside of the contact carrier 11 springing Polungsvorsprüngen 56, such as in Fig. 6 shown. In this case, two of the polarity projections 56 are formed on the contact carrier 11 with respect to the paper plane right, whereas only one Polungsvorspung 56 is formed on the left with respect to the paper plane.

The housing 13 of the contact carrier 11 is plug-in direction parallel with a bore 24 passes. This bore 24 has a first notch 25A and a second notch 25B. The second notch 25B is an optional and non-mandatory feature of the bore 24.

The bore 24 serves to receive the secondary fuse 26, in particular in the form of a latching pin 27. The latching pin 27 has a head portion 28 and a pin-like base body 29.

The Fig. 2a shows the locking pin 27 in side view. The outer circumference of the pin-like base body 29 of the locking pin 27 is partially surrounded by mounting load projections 47 and locking latch projections 33. The mounting loader protrusions 47 is used for pre-assembly of the locking pin 27 on the contact carrier 11. The locking latch projections 33 engage under the circuit board 19 and hold the connector 10 to the circuit board 19th

The locking latch projections 33, which increases in Fig. 2b are shown are threaded portion-like and serve the bracing of the contact carrier 11 on the circuit board 19. At the same time the thread pitch also allows compensation of board tolerances.

The pin-like base body 29 of the locking pin 27 has a slot 41 which is bounded by a first side wall 40A and a second side wall 40B. The slit 41 permits a diameter-reducing backward displacement of the side walls 40A and 40B supporting the latch detent projections 33.

In the head region 28, the rib 31 is shown. This cooperates with the first or the second notch 25A, 25B of the bore 24 (see Fig. 1 . Fig. 5 ). This rib 31 cooperates depending on the locking position of the latching pin 27 with the first or second notch 25A, 25B and thus holds the latching pin 27 or its locking latch projections 33 in the latch or Entriegelstellung the secondary fuse 26th

The rib 31 and the head portion 28 of the locking pin 27 are in the Fig. 3 shown. The head portion 28 forms a groove 30A, which serves to receive a tool, not shown here, and thus displaces the locking pin 27 in the locking or unlocking position. In the groove 30A, for example, a screwdriver can be introduced, by means of which the locking pin 27 can rotate in the bore 24 by 90 °.

The Fig. 4 shows the circuit board 19 from above. The printed circuit board 19 forms the contact openings 36 for receiving the plug contacts 12 of the contact carrier 11. Furthermore, the circuit board 19 has a formed in the middle of the circuit board 19 opening 39 with a keyhole-like contour. This contour is subdivided into a stalk section 58 and a beard section 38. The stalk section 58 serves to receive the pin-like basic body 29 of the latching pin 27. The beard section 38 serves to receive a coding pin 16 of the contact carrier 11. Adjacent to this beard section 38 are two coding holes 37 in FIG the printed circuit board 19 is formed, which serve to receive the remaining coding pins 16 of the contact carrier 11.

Adjacent to the opening 39, the printed circuit board 19 has a first and a second slot 35A, 35B. These elongated holes 35A and 35B have portions which cooperate on the one hand with a primary fuse 17 and on the other hand with the polarity projections 56 of the polarity reversal fuse 18. The elongated hole 35A cooperates with the primary fuse 17 and with a polarity projection 56. The elongate hole 35B cooperates with the primary fuse 17 and with two polarity projections 56 and is accordingly longer than the elongate hole 35A. An incorrect positioning of the connector 10 on the circuit board 19 is thus excluded.

The primary fuse 17 is for example in the Fig. 5 to 7 represented and serves the arrangement of the contact carrier 11 on the circuit board 19. The primary fuse 17 is formed by two Rastarmpaaren. Each pair of latching arms has a first latching arm 44 and a second latching arm 45. The latching arms 44, 45 each originate from a latching arm root 52 which is remote from the free end and which is arranged on the contact carrier 11. The latching arms 44, 45 each have a release cam 53, which serve the return displacement of the latching arms 44, 45 in a release position to disconnect the connector 10 of printed circuit board 19, if a corresponding pressure is applied here, the release cam an optional and thus no mandatory feature of the locking arms 44, 45 are.

The latching arms 44, 45 have at their free end latching members 50 and 51, which have different locking surfaces 54 and 55.

In the Fig. 8 the first locking member 50 of the second locking arm 45 is shown. The first latching element 50 of the second latching arm 45 forms a latching surface 54 which engages under the printed circuit board 19. This latching surface 54 is aligned substantially orthogonal to the insertion direction of the connector, that is approximately parallel to the bottom 46 of the circuit board 19, as shown for example in the Fig. 11 and 13 can be seen. The connector 10 is thus secured against a tensile force that can be applied, for example, by the connection conductors, not shown, secured. The latching surface 54 of the first latching member 50 allows a holding force of up to 60 Newtons.

In the Fig. 9 the second locking member 51 of the locking arm 44 is shown. The second latching member 51 of the latching arm 44 has a latching surface 55, which is formed starting from the first latching arm 44 in the insertion direction sloping.

The latching surface 55 serves to compensate for tolerances between the contact carrier 11 and the circuit board 19. The arranged on the circuit board 19 locking arms 44 are for example in the Fig. 11 and 13 shown. Printed circuit boards 19 with minimum thickness fully engages below the sloping latching surface 55, so that the surface origin located near the first latching arm 44 provides the plug connector 10 with support on the printed circuit board 19 in addition to the latching surface 54. Circuit boards 19 with a maximum strength engages below the sloping locking surface 55 only with its end facing away from the origin, which provides the connector 10 complementary to the locking surface 54 hold. Depending on the intermediate strength of the circuit board 19 is a Teiluntergreifen the locking surface 55 instead.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sloping locking surface 55 with the bottom 46 of the circuit board 19 forms an angle of 20 ° and thus allows a tolerance compensation of up to 10% of the nominal thickness of the circuit board 19. The sloping locking surface 55 contributes to the anchoring of the connector 10th at the circuit board 19 at. However, the tensile load that can be compensated by them is low due to the sloping locking surface 55.

The latching arms 44, 45 rush to the contact carrier 11 and are arranged parallel to each other. The connector 10 has two Rastarmpaaren which are arranged on opposite sides of the connector 10. The locking members 50 and 51 of the same locking geometry are opposite each other diagonally on the contact carrier 11. The example of Figure 11 can be seen that the latching member 51 of the left with respect to the paper plane Rastarmpaares front, the locking member 50, however, is arranged behind. By contrast, the right-hand pair of latching arms with respect to the plane of the paper has a front latching element 50, whereas the latching element 51 is located at the rear. In this way, the aforementioned diagonality is ensured.

By the diagonally opposite locking members 50 and 51 of the same configuration with their locking surfaces 54 and 55, the tilting of the connector 19 is prevented under tensile load and thus the contact point load between the plug contacts 12 and the contact holes 36 evened.

In the Figures 10 and 11 the secondary fuse 26 is mounted in unlocking position and in top view ( Fig. 10 ) and from below ( Fig. 11 ). The unlocking position is indicated here by the groove 30A pointing to the word "release". Another form of optical display is possible. In the unlocking position, the rib 31 of the head region 28 of the latching pin 27 cooperates with the first notch 25A associated with the term "release". In this position, the rib 31 and the first notch 25A hold the detent pin 27 in the unlocked position. An independent turning of the locking pin 27 or by vibration is not possible. The secondary fuse 26 is merely mounted in the blade section 58 of the opening 39 in such a way that the locking latch projections 33 of the latching pin 27 do not engage under the printed circuit board 19.

In the FIGS. 12 to 14 the locking pin 27 is displaced in the locked position. The rotatably mounted locking pin 27 allows the contact carrier 11 to be clamped to the circuit board 19 by the locking pin 27 is rotated at mounted on the circuit board 19 connector 10 from the unlocking into the locked position. The latching pin 27 is mounted in the locking position so in the stalk area 58 of the opening 39 that the locking latch projections 33 of the locking pin 27 engage under the circuit board 19 and the contact carrier 11 by the threaded portion-like configuration of the locking latch projections 33 clamped to the circuit board 19.

Alternatively, the locking pin 27 may already be in the locked position when placed on the printed circuit board 19. Then the locking latch projections 33 run on the edge of the opening 39. The vertically arranged in the locking pin 27 slot 41 allows the continuation of the detent pin a resilient rearward displacement of the locking latch projections 33 of the detent pin 27 so that they swap through the opening 39 and thus engage the circuit board 19.

In the locking position of the locking pin 27, the rib 31 of the head portion 28 of the locking pin 27 now cooperates with the second notch 25 B of the bore 24. The locking position is marked with the word "lock". The groove 30A points to the word "lock". The connector 10 is securely mounted on the circuit board 19.

In the FIGS. 15 to 18 a second embodiment of the connector 10 is disclosed. In addition to the designated components of the connector 10 of the first embodiment, this connector 10 has a securing hood 60.

In the Fig. 15 is in addition to the connector 10 with contact carrier 11 and fuse cover 60, the circuit board 19 is shown.

The securing hood 60 surrounds the contact carrier 11 on the outside, the contact carrier 11 being movably arranged in the securing hood 60. The contact carrier 11 has plug-in direction parallel locking pin 61, which lead the contact carrier 11 and position it in the safety cap 60 in the pre-assembly.

In addition, the contact carrier 11 forms latching profiles 63 and latching grooves 66, which lead the contact carrier 11 in the direction of insertion and corresponding to the front or mounting position of the contact carrier 11 in the Collet 60 cooperate with locking webs 65 of the safety cover 60.

Furthermore, the contact carrier 11 has latching tabs 62 which originate from the housing 13 on the respective short sides of the contact carrier 11. The locking tabs 62 are formed resiliently and cooperate with detent openings 64 which are formed by the securing hood 60, as shown in FIG Fig. 16 is shown. Through the cooperation of latching tabs 62 and latching openings 64, the contact carrier 11 is latched to the securing hood 60. By pressure, the locking tabs 62 can be shifted back so that the contact carrier 11 can be released from the safety cap 60.

In addition, the latching tab 62 forms a latching nose 67, which cooperates with a corresponding latching recess 68 which is formed by the securing hood 60. As soon as the contact carrier 11 is moved into the assembly position, the latching nose 67 cooperates with the latching recess 68, as in the sectional illustration in FIG Fig. 17 shown. The latching nose 67 dives through the latching recess 68 and thus secures the contact carrier 11 additionally in the securing hood 60. The rearward displacement of the latching lugs 62 also displaces the latching lugs back so that the contact carrier 11 can be released from the safety hood.

In contrast to the first embodiment of the connector 10, the primary fuse 17, the reverse polarity assurance 18 and the coding pins 16 of the fuse cover 60 do not originate from the contact carrier 11. The primary fuse 17 has in this second embodiment of the connector 10 on both sides identical Rastarmpaare 44, which with the Locking members 51 are formed. The locking members have the locking surface 55, which serve the tolerance compensation between contact carrier 11 and the circuit board 19.

However, it is also conceivable that the primary fuse 17 is configured identically to the first embodiment of the connector 10, such as in Fig. 5 shown.

The reverse polarity fuse 18 may be configured according to the first embodiment of the connector 10, as exemplified by Fig. 6 can be seen.

For assembly of the connector 10 to the circuit board 19, the contact fingers 49 of the plug contacts 12 must be received in the contact openings 36 of the circuit board 19 to produce an electrical contact.

The contact carrier 11 is positioned by means of locking pin 61 in the securing hood 60, wherein the locking grooves 66 of the contact carrier 11 in the pre-assembly position cooperate with the locking webs 65 of the securing hood 60. The plug contacts 12 are inserted into the contact recesses 15 of the contact carrier 11. Since the contact carrier 11 and accordingly also the plug contacts 12 are present in the pre-assembly spaced from the circuit board 19, an electrical contact of the connector 10 with the circuit board 19 in the pre-assembly position of the connector 10 is excluded.

In order to finish the connector 10 ready, the contact carrier 11 is moved in the insertion direction and thus displaced in the mounting position. The latching webs 66 now engage in the latching profiles 63 of the contact carrier 11 and thus arrange the contact carrier 11 in the safety hood 60. In addition, the latching tabs 62 latch on the latching openings 64 of the securing hood 60. With the displacement of the contact carrier 11 in the insertion direction, in addition to the coding pins 16, which penetrate the Codierbohrungen 37 of the circuit board 19, also the plug contacts 12 displaced in the insertion direction. As a result, the contact fingers 49 of the plug contacts 12 cooperate with the contact openings 36 in the printed circuit board 19 and thus enable the electrical contact.

The Fig. 17 shows the connector 10 located in the pre-assembly position on the printed circuit board 19th

In the Fig. 17 the fuse cover 60 of the circuit board 19 is arranged. The locking surfaces 55 of the locking arms 44 engage under the circuit board 19 and put the fuse cover 60 on the circuit board 19.

The contact carrier 11 is arranged in the safety hood 60 in the pre-assembly position. The locking pins 61 of the contact carrier 11 are seated in an upper region A above the latching arms 44. Thus, the space required for a releasable rearward displacement of the latching arms is free. The latching arms 44 can be moved back into the movement space by means of pressure on the release cam 53, and thus the securing hood 60 can be easily detached from the printed circuit board 19.

Will the contact carrier 11, as in Fig. 18 shown displaced in the securing hood 60 in the assembled position, the locking pins 61 are moved in the direction of insertion and penetrate into the aforementioned movement space and block the releasing back displacement of the locking arms 44. Due to the blocking, it is now impossible, the connector 10 of the circuit board 19 to to solve. A secure and permanent contact is guaranteed.
