Definitions

  • An object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector allowing, by itself and without any adaptation, to carry out either a branch coupling or a series coupling by breaking the circuit to ensure, consequently, a voltage measurement or a current measurement at a point in a circuit.
  • the present invention also aims to achieve, from said multiple coupling connector, a first multiple measurement connector for electronic equipment circuit boards mounted in a chassis, allowing measurements at points on the circuits of individual cards, accessible from the free face known as the front face of the chassis, and a second multiple connector also for measuring electronic circuit boards mounted in a chassis allowing measurements at points on the circuits of individual cards, not accessible while the card or cards are test remain in the chassis.

7. Mehrfachverbinder nach Anspruch 6, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die beiden Verbinder mit vernachlässigbarer Einsteckkraft (72, 73) und ihr zugeordnetes doppeltes Mehrfachsteckerteil (70, 71) einerseits sowie die beiden Anschlussplatten (66, 67) andererseits in einem regelbaren Abstand voneinander auf einem gemeinsamen Balken montiert sind.
8. Mehrfachverbinder nach einem der Ansprüche 6 und 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass jeder der Verbinder mit vernachlässigbarer Einsteckkraft (72, 73) eine Gleitbahn (100) mit einer Längsrille (110) zur Aufnahme eines der Ränder der zu überprüfenden Karte und eine Vielzahl von Kontakten (120) aufweist, die auf einen Kontaktträgerbalken (140) befestigt sind und auf der Gleitbahn gegenüber der Rille (110) angeordnet sind sowie mit dieser Rille den Körper des Verbinders mit vernachlässigbarer Einsteckkraft bilden, wobei die Kontakte (120) erste Endbereiche, die über den Kontaktträgerbalken ausserhalb des Verbinders mit vernachlässigbarer Einsteckkraft in Form von in zwei Reihen angeordneten Stiften (123) vorstehen, zweite Endbereiche (124), die im wesentlichen S-förmig sind und sich in zwei Reihen über die Länge der Rille erstrecken, um mit der zu prüfenden Karte in Kontakt zu treten, und bogenförmige Zwischenbereiche (125) zwischen den ersten und zweiten Endbereichen bilden, wobei ausserdem ein drehbarer Spiess (150) einer im wesentlichen zylindrischen Form vorgesehen ist, der im wesentlichen über seine Länge zwei einander gegenüberliegende Abflachungen aufweist und in der Gleitbahn (100) und auf dem ihm zugeordneten Kontaktträgerbalken (140) montiert ist, wobei dieser Spiess die bogenförmigen Zwischenbereiche (125) der Kontakte (120) zu deren gleichzeitiger Steuerung in Öffnungs- oder Schliessrichtung empfängt.
9. Mehrfachverbinder nach Anspruch 8, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Stifte (123) der Kontakte je an diejenige Klemme jedes der Kontaktklemmenpaare angeschlossen sind, die nicht über einen der elektrjschen Leiter (86) mit einer derAnschlussplatten (66, 67) verbunden ist.
10. Mehrfachverbinder nach einem der Ansprüche 6 bis 9, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass jeder der Blöcke (74, 75) ausserdem auf der den Innenräumen bezüglich der gemeinsamen diese Räume begrenzenden Platte (76) gegenüberliegenden Seite eine durchgehende Innenrinne (85) aufweist, die zur Aufnahme der elektrischen Leiter (86) dient, welche an die Leitbahnen einer der Anschlussplatten (66-67) angeschlossen sind.
