Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Koaxial-Steckerteil mit einem Gehäuse, einem Innenkontakt, einem Außenkontakt und einem Isolator, der zwischen dem Innenkontakt und dem Außenkontakt angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a coaxial connector part with a housing, a Internal contact, an external contact and an insulator, which is between the Internal contact and the external contact is arranged.

Wenn ein solches Steckerteil in ein komplementäres Steckerteil eingesteckt wird, um eine Steckverbindung zu erzielen, besteht die Gefahr, daß die beiden Steckerteile relativ zu einer zentrierten Anordnung, bei der die Mittelachsen der Steckkontakte zusammenfallen, verschoben oder verdreht sind. Bei einer solchen Fehlausrichtung können auf die Steckkontakte unerwünscht hohe Belastungen ausgeübt werden. Diese Belastungen werden von den Kontakten zum Teil über das Gehäuse und zum Teil direkt auf das Bauteil übertragen, an dem das Steckerteil angebracht ist. Wenn die Kontakte mit den Bauteilen verlötet sind, insbesondere in SMT-Technik, besteht die Gefahr, daß die auf die Lötstelle einwirkenden Belastungen zu einer Beschädigung der Lötstellen führen.If such a plug part is inserted into a complementary plug part, to achieve a plug connection, there is a risk that the two Connector parts relative to a centered arrangement in which the central axes of the Plug contacts collapse, shift or are twisted. With one Misalignment can place undesirable high loads on the plug contacts be exercised. These burdens are partly overcome by the contacts the housing and partly directly to the component on which the Plug part is attached. If the contacts are soldered to the components, especially in SMT technology, there is a risk that the on the solder joint loads can damage the solder joints.

Aus der WO 00/52788 ist ein Adapter bekannt, der zur Verbindung von zwei Leiterplatten dient, insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Hochfrequenztechnik. An einer der Leiterplatten ist ein Sockelteil angebracht, das mit einem Kugelkopf versehen ist. Auf dem Kugelkopf ist schwenkbar ein Isolator angebracht, der mit einem Innenleiter und einem Außenleiter versehen ist. Der Isolator kann in ein komplementäres Sockelteil eingesteckt werden, das an der anderen Leiterplatte angebracht ist. Aufgrund der schwenkbaren Anordnung des Isolators kann ein seitlicher Versatz zwischen den beiden Leiterplatten kompensiert werden. Durch unterschiedlich tiefes Einstecken des Isolators in das komplementäre Sockelteil können Abstandsabweichungen der beiden Leiterplatten voneinander kompensiert werden. Bei dem bekannten Adapter handelt es sich jedoch nicht um ein Steckerteil, sondern um eine Koaxialverbindung, die zur dauerhaften Verbindung zwischen zwei Leiterplatten in einem Leiterplatten-Stapel dient. Auch ist der Bauaufwand vergleichsweise hoch, da die Kontaktierung des Innenleiters und des Außenleiters bei der gelenkigen Anbringung des Isolators sehr aufwendig ist.From WO 00/52788 an adapter is known which is used to connect two Printed circuit boards are used, particularly in the field of high-frequency technology. On One of the circuit boards is attached to a base part, which has a ball head is provided. On the ball head an isolator is pivotally attached, which with an inner conductor and an outer conductor is provided. The insulator can be in one Complementary base part to be inserted on the other circuit board is appropriate. Due to the pivotable arrangement of the insulator, a lateral offset between the two circuit boards can be compensated. By inserting the insulator into the complementary base part at different depths can compensate for differences in distance between the two circuit boards become. However, the known adapter is not a Plug part, but a coaxial connection, which is used for permanent connection serves between two circuit boards in a circuit board stack. That too is Construction costs comparatively high, since the contacting of the inner conductor and the Outer conductor in the articulated attachment of the insulator is very expensive.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Koaxial-Steckerteil der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß die Kontakte bei geringem Bauaufwand geringeren Belastungen ausgesetzt werden, falls das Steckerteil mit einer Fehlausrichtung in ein komplementäres Steckerteil eingesetzt wird.The object of the invention is to provide a coaxial connector part mentioned type to the extent that the contacts at low Construction work to be exposed to lower loads if the connector part with misalignment is inserted into a complementary connector part.

Zu diesem Zweck ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß der Außenkontakt am Gehäuse schwenkbar angebracht ist, wodurch auch der im Außenkontakt aufgenommene Isolator und der im Isolator aufgenommene Innenkontakt als Einheit schwenkbar sind. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein besonders einfacher Aufbau, da lediglich ein einziges Bauteil schwenkbar am Gehäuse angebracht werden muß, nämlich der Außenkontakt. Dennoch kann sich die aus Innenkontakt, Außenkontakt und Isolator bestehenden Kontakteinheit beim Einstecken des komplementären Steckverbinders automatisch entsprechend der Fehlausrichtung der beiden Steckerteile ausrichten, so daß die Mittelachsen der ineinanderzusteckenden Kontakte wieder zusammenfallen. Die Kontakte der beiden Steckerteile können dann leicht ineinandergeschoben werden, ohne daß übermäßige Belastungen auftreten.For this purpose, the invention provides that the external contact on Housing is pivotally attached, which also means that in the external contact recorded insulator and the internal contact recorded in the insulator as Unit are pivotable. This results in a particularly simple one Construction, since only a single component is pivotally attached to the housing must be, namely the external contact. Nevertheless, the internal contact, External contact and isolator existing contact unit when inserting the complementary connector automatically according to the misalignment align the two connector parts so that the central axes of the nested ones Contacts collapse again. The contacts of the two Plug parts can then be easily pushed into one another without excessive loads occur.

Gemäß der bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß der Innenkontakt mit einem Kugelkopf versehen ist, auf den eine Federklammer aufgeschoben ist, die in SMT-Technik mit einer Leiterplatte verbunden werden kann. Die Verwendung eines Kugelkopfes ergibt eine kugelgelenkartige Verbindung zwischen dem Innenkontakt und der Federklammer, so daß sich die Kontakteinheit relativ zur Federklammer verstellen kann, ohne daß eine Bewegung auf die Federklammer übertragen wird. Dies gewährleistet, daß die SMT-Lötstelle, mittels der die Federklammer mit der Leiterplatte verbunden werden kann, keinen Belastungen ausgesetzt wird. Der Beitrag der kugelgelenkartigen Verbindung zwischen dem Innenkontakt und der Federklammer zur schwenkbaren Anbringung der Kontakteinheit ist vernachlässigbar.According to the preferred embodiment it is provided that the internal contact is provided with a ball head onto which a spring clip is slid, which can be connected to a printed circuit board using SMT technology. The Using a ball head results in a ball joint-like connection between the internal contact and the spring clip, so that the Contact unit can be adjusted relative to the spring clip without a Motion is transmitted to the spring clip. This ensures that the SMT solder joint, by means of which the spring clip is connected to the circuit board can be exposed to no stress. The contribution of ball joint-like connection between the internal contact and the Spring clip for pivoting attachment of the contact unit is negligible.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß der Kugelkopf etwa mit dem Drehpunkt der Kontakteinheit im Gehäuse zusammenfällt. Dies gewährleistet, daß es zu keiner translatorischen Bewegung zwischen Federklammer und Innenkontakt kommt, wenn die Einheit aus Innenkontakt, Außenkontakt und Isolator relativ zum Gehäuse verschwenkt wird, sondern es lediglich zu einer Verdrehung um wenige Winkelgrade kommt.It is preferably provided that the ball head approximately with the pivot point of the Contact unit in the housing coincides. This ensures that there is none translational movement between spring clip and internal contact comes, if the unit of internal contact, external contact and insulator relative to Housing is pivoted, but it only rotates by a few Angular degrees is coming.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the Dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform beschrieben, die in den beigefügten Zeichnungen dargestellt ist. In diesen zeigen:

  • Figur 1 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht ein erfindungsgemäßes Koaxial-Steckerteil;
  • Figur 2 in einer perspektivischen Explosionsansicht das Koaxial-Steckerteil von Figur 1; und
  • Figur 3 in einer Schnittansicht das Koaxial-Steckerteil von Figur 1 zusammen mit einem komplementären Steckerteil.
The invention is described below with reference to a preferred embodiment, which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In these show:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a coaxial connector part according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the coaxial connector part of Figure 1; and
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view of the coaxial connector part of Figure 1 together with a complementary connector part.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Koaxial-Steckerteil gezeigt, das als wichtigste Bauteile ein Gehäuse 10 sowie zwei Kontakteinheiten 12, 14 enthält, die am Gehäuse 10 befestigt sind. Jede Kontakteinheit ist gebildet aus einem Außenkontakt 16, einem Innenkontakt 18 und einem Isolator 20.In Figures 1 and 2, a coaxial connector part is shown as the most important Components contain a housing 10 and two contact units 12, 14, which on Housing 10 are attached. Each contact unit is made up of one External contact 16, an internal contact 18 and an insulator 20.

Das Gehäuse 10 besteht aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material, beispielsweise Kunststoff, und weist zwei Öffnungen zur Aufnahme der Kontakteinheiten auf. Den Öffnungen ist jeweils ein Haltering 11 zugeordnet, dessen Funktion später erläutert wird.The housing 10 consists of an electrically insulating material, for example Plastic, and has two openings for receiving the contact units on. A holding ring 11 is assigned to the openings, its function will be explained later.

Der Außenkontakt 16 besteht aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material und weist an seinem dem Gehäuse 10 zugeordneten Ende eine hülsenförmige Schürze 22 auf, die mit zwei Aussparungen 24 versehen ist. Das freie Ende der Schürze 22 ist mit einem umlaufenden, von den beiden Aussparungen 24 unterbrochenen Vorsprung versehen, so daß das freie Ende zwei Rasthaken 25 bildet. Am Übergang der Schürze 22 in den Körper des Außenkontakts 16 ist ein Absatz 23 vorgesehen. Am entgegengesetzten Ende ist der Außenkontakt mit mehreren elastischen Zungen 26 versehen.The external contact 16 consists of an electrically conductive material and has a sleeve-shaped apron 22 at its end associated with the housing 10 on, which is provided with two recesses 24. The free end of the apron 22 is with a circumferential, interrupted by the two recesses 24 Provide projection so that the free end forms two locking hooks 25. At the The transition of the apron 22 into the body of the external contact 16 is a shoulder 23 intended. At the opposite end there is external contact with several provided elastic tongues 26.

Der Isolator 20 besteht aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material und ist mit zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Nasen 28 versehen, deren Abmessungen so ausgeführt sind, daß sie in die Aussparungen 24 des Außenkontakts 16 eingeschoben werden können.The insulator 20 is made of an electrically insulating material and has two opposite noses 28 provided, the dimensions so are designed so that they in the recesses 24 of the external contact 16th can be inserted.

Der Innenkontakt 18 besteht aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material und ist hier als Hülse ausgeführt, deren eines Ende geschlitzt und deren anderes Ende mit einem Kugelkopf 30 versehen ist. Der Innenkontakt 18 ist ferner mit einem Rastbund 32 versehen.The inner contact 18 is made of an electrically conductive material and is here designed as a sleeve, one end slotted and the other end with a ball head 30 is provided. The inner contact 18 is also with a Snap collar 32 provided.

Dem Innenkontakt 18 ist eine Federklammer 34 zugeordnet, die eine U-förmige Gestalt hat. Die beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Schenkel der Federklammer 34 sind dafür vorgesehen, am Kugelkopf 30 des Innenkontakts elastisch anzugreifen. Der die beiden Schenkel miteinander verbindende Steg der Federklammer ist dafür vorgesehen, in SMT-Technik mit einer elektrisch leitenden Fläche verbunden zu werden. The inner contact 18 is assigned a spring clip 34 which is U-shaped Has shape. The two opposite legs of the spring clip 34 are intended to be elastic on the ball head 30 of the internal contact attack. The web connecting the two legs together Spring clip is intended in SMT technology with an electrically conductive Area to be connected.

Das Koaxial-Steckerteil wird in der folgenden Weise montiert: Zunächst wird der Haltering 11 im Gehäuse 10 befestigt. Die im Gehäuse liegende Stirnseite des Halterings 11 bildet dann einen Hinterschnitt, der bei einer einstückigen Ausgestaltung des Gehäuses 10 nur sehr schwer herstellbar wäre. Anschließend wird der Isolator 20 so in den Außenkontakt 16 eingeschoben, daß die Nasen 28 in die Aussparungen 24 eingreifen. Der Außenkontakt 16 zusammen mit dem Isolator 20 wird dann in den Haltering 11 eingeschoben, wobei die Rasthaken 25 hinter die Stirnseite des Halterings 11 schnappen. Der Abstand zwischen den Rasthaken 25 und dem Absatz 23 des Außenkontaktes 16 ist größer als die Länge des Halterings 11, so daß in axialer Richtung ein gewisses Spiel vorliegt. Ferner ist der Innendurchmesser des Halterings 11 größer als der Außendurchmesser der Schürze 22, so daß auch in radialer Richtung ein Spiel vorhanden ist.The coaxial connector part is assembled in the following way: First the Retaining ring 11 attached in the housing 10. The front of the Retaining rings 11 then form an undercut, which is in one piece Design of the housing 10 would be very difficult to manufacture. Subsequently the insulator 20 is inserted into the external contact 16 in such a way that the lugs 28 engage in the recesses 24. The external contact 16 together with the Insulator 20 is then inserted into the retaining ring 11, the latching hook 25 snap behind the front of the retaining ring 11. The distance between the Locking hook 25 and the paragraph 23 of the external contact 16 is greater than the length of the retaining ring 11, so that there is some play in the axial direction. Further the inner diameter of the retaining ring 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the Apron 22, so that there is play in the radial direction.

Der Innenkontakt 18 wird in den im Gehäuse 10 montierten Isolator 20 von der anderen Seite eingesetzt als der Isolator und der Außenkontakt 16, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt ist. Dabei rastet der Rastbund 32 des Innenkontakts 18 im Inneren des Isolators 20 ein, so daß der Innenkontakt fest aufgenommen ist. Schließlich wird auf den Kugelkopf 30 des Innenkontaktes 18 die Federklammer 34 aufgeschoben. Somit ist das Koaxial-Steckerteil fertig montiert. Das wichtige Merkmal besteht darin, daß im wesentlichen nur der Außenkontakt 16 für die schwenkbare Anbringung der Kontakteinheit am Gehäuse verantwortlich ist. Die Schwenkbarkeit ergibt sich aufgrund des radialen und axialen Spiels zwischen dem Haltering 11 und der Schürze 22 im Gehäuse.The internal contact 18 is in the insulator 20 mounted in the housing 10 from the used on the other side than the insulator and the external contact 16, as in FIG. 2 is shown. The locking collar 32 of the inner contact 18 snaps inside the Insulator 20, so that the internal contact is firmly received. Eventually the spring clip 34 is pushed onto the ball head 30 of the internal contact 18. The coaxial connector part is now fully assembled. The important feature is there in that essentially only the external contact 16 for the pivotable Attaching the contact unit to the housing is responsible. The swiveling results from the radial and axial play between the retaining ring 11 and the apron 22 in the housing.

In Figur 3 ist das montierte Koaxial-Steckerteil gezeigt, das hier in einem Aufnahmeteil 40 angebracht ist. Weiterhin ist ein komplementäres Steckerteil 42 gezeigt, das in das montierte Koaxial-Steckerteil eingesteckt ist. Das komplementäre Steckerteil weist stiftförmige Kontakte 44 auf, die in die Innenkontakte 18 des Koaxial-Steckerteils eingeschoben sind. Am in Figur 3 unteren Außenkontakt 16 ist deutlich zu sehen, wie dieser schräg im Gehäuse 10 und im Haltering 11 aufgenommen ist: Der Abstand zwischen der linken Stirnseite des Halterings 11 und dem Absatz 23 ist auf der unteren Seite sehr viel kleiner als auf der oberen Seite, da der Außenkontakt 16 zusammen mit dem Isolator 20 und dem Innenkontakt 18 relativ zum Gehäuse 10 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verdreht ist. Diese Schwenkbewegung der Kontakteinheit erfolgt um einen Drehpunkt, der etwa mit dem Mittelpunkt des Kugelkopfes 30 des Innenkontakts 18 zusammenfällt. Somit kommt es, wenn sich die Einheit aus Außenkontakt 16, Innenkontakt 18 und Isolator 20 an ein schief eingestecktes komplementäres Steckerteil anpaßt, lediglich zu einer Drehbewegung zwischen der Federklammer 34 und dem Kugelkopf 30. Diese Drehbewegung kann trotz der Reibungskräfte zwischen dem Kugelkopf 30 und der Federklammer 34 aufgrund des großen Abstandes zwischen dem freien Vorderende der Kontakteinheiten 12, 14 und dem Drehpunkt auf dem Kugelkopf 30 mit geringen Kräften erzielt werden, da die einwirkenden Kräfte einen großen Hebelarm haben. Diese erforderlichen Kräfte sind erheblich geringer als die Kräfte, die für eine translatorische Bewegung zwischen Kugelkopf und Federklammer notwendig wären, da eine translatorische Bewegung nicht vom langen Hebelarm profitiert. In Figure 3, the assembled coaxial connector part is shown, which here in one Receiving part 40 is attached. Furthermore, there is a complementary plug part 42 shown, which is inserted into the assembled coaxial connector part. The Complementary connector part has pin-shaped contacts 44 which in the Internal contacts 18 of the coaxial connector part are inserted. On in Figure 3 lower external contact 16 can be clearly seen, as this obliquely in the housing 10 and is received in the retaining ring 11: the distance between the left end face of the retaining ring 11 and the paragraph 23 is much smaller than on the lower side on the upper side, since the external contact 16 together with the insulator 20 and the inner contact 18 counterclockwise relative to the housing 10 is twisted. This pivoting movement of the contact unit takes place by one Pivotal point that is approximately at the center of the ball head 30 of the internal contact 18 coincides. Thus, when the unit consists of external contact 16, Internal contact 18 and insulator 20 to a complementary inserted obliquely Adapts plug part, only for a rotary movement between the spring clip 34 and the ball head 30. This rotary movement can despite the frictional forces between the ball head 30 and the spring clip 34 due to the large Distance between the free front end of the contact units 12, 14 and Pivot point on the ball head 30 can be achieved with low forces, since the acting forces have a large lever arm. These required forces are significantly less than the forces required for translational movement between ball head and spring clip would be necessary, as a translational Movement does not benefit from the long lever arm.
