- the invention relates to a Kunststofftechnischmaschinentim of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of a Mixing of claim 1.
- a circuit board connector for holding terminals and connecting the terminals to upper and lower surfaces of a circuit board periphery
- the circuit board connector comprising: upper and lower inner housings for holding the terminals in an opposing relationship corresponding to the upper and lower surfaces of the board edge; an outer housing adapted for mounting the inner housing, the outer housing having a circuit board edge insertion opening dimensioned for insertion of the circuit board rim, the opening of the outer housing being located from a side formed on the outer housing; Opposite side on which the board edge insertion opening is formed, wherein the inner housings are rotatably supported in the outer housing and guide means are provided for regulating the rotatable portion of the inner housings.
- US-A-3,594,699 US-A-3 478 301 and U.S. Patent 4,894,022 also disclose PCB connectors in which the contacts are lowered onto the printed circuit board by inserting the printed circuit board into the printed circuit board connector.
- the Kunststoffssen istssteckMIS invention having the features of claim 1 has the advantage that tolerates different board thicknesses and thereby still consistently high contact forces are possible. The reliability of the function is thereby ensured even with different circuit boards. The same applies if a contact holder defines a position of a contact element to the contact carrier and thus the contact force is independent of a material thickness of the contact carrier.
- the Kunststofftechnischmaschinessteckharm invention has the advantage that by the fact that the contact holder has a Einsteckleitelement which allows for receiving the Kunststoff michssteckers in the Kunststoff mich Kunststoffssteckerability by interaction with a Gegeneinsteckleitelement a movement of the first contact holder substantially perpendicular to the receiving direction, a largely or completely shear-free connector is possible , This means that during insertion of the Kunststofftechnischssteckers in the Kunststoffssenssteckerability little or no forces acting on the contact elements, which act in the receiving direction. Damage to the contact elements during insertion can thus be at least largely excluded, The connector is thus solvable many times without the quality of the connection and especially the electrical contact would suffer. In addition, this type of design has the advantage that the contacting elements can be performed relatively easily and material-saving.
- the contacting plug has a second contact holder with at least one second contact element, wherein the second contact holder has a plug-in element which, upon receiving the Kunststofftechnischssteckers in the Kunststofftechnikssteckerability by interaction with a Jacobeinsteckleitelement a movement of the contact holder substantially perpendicular to the recording direction allows.
- Such a configuration of the plug allows a simultaneous contacting of mating contacts connected to the Kunststofftechnikssteckerability in a second plane.
- the first contact holder and possibly the existing second contact holder has a pull-out element, the movement of the contact holder or the contact holder substantially perpendicular to the receiving direction when pulling out of the Kunststoff Industriesssteckers from Kunststoff Industriesssteckerability by interaction with a Gegenrausziehleitelement allows.
- This measure has the consequence that even when pulling out of Mais michellesssteckers from the Kunststoff Industriesssteckerability no or only small shear forces between the contact elements act. Again, this is a measure to extend the life of the contacts.
- a hinge which is preferably designed as a film hinge, so as a one-piece connection of both contact holder connected.
- a positive fit of the at least one contact holder in the auxiliary assembly housing results in that on the one hand a good position assignment between the contact holder and auxiliary assembly housing is present, which is of great importance when plugging. If this positive engagement is produced by means of a latching connection, this is a particularly cost-effective and functionally reliable measure.
- the contacting plug receptacle is part of a control unit housing. This means that the contacting plug receptacle integrally with the control unit housing or a part of the optionally multi-part control unit housing is connected, so that additional joints to be sealed and related problems can be avoided.
- FIG. 1 a control unit 10 is shown, with a control unit housing 13 on a circuit board 16 - which is generally formulated a contact carrier 17 - located electronic control or circuit encloses.
- the control unit housing 13 is approximately tubular in shape and thus has a jacket 19 which at a first axial end 22 per se has an opening, which is, however, already closed in this case by an inserted Kunststoffmaschinesstecker 25.
- the first axial end 22 opposite axial end 28 protrudes in this case, the aforementioned circuit board 16 out.
- the printed circuit board 16 is fastened to the control unit housing 13 at this end by means of two fastening elements 31.
- the control unit housing 13 further comprises a total of four mounting feet 37, of which only two can be seen in this example.
- the mounting feet 37 are perforated and are used to attach the control unit housing 13 to a holder.
- the auxiliary mounting housing 40 serves to a in FIG. 1 already held in the control unit housing 13technischmaschinesstecker.
- a lock 43 is provided.
- This lock 43 consists on the one hand of a arranged on the control unit housing 13 locking wedge 46, which is engaged by a arranged on the auxiliary mounting housing 40 or latching latching hook 49 such that the auxiliary mounting housing 40 is held immovably on the control unit housing 13.
- the latching hook 49 has at its end facing away from the control unit housing 13 each end a pressure handle 52. By means of this pressure handle 52, the lock 43 can be easily released manually.
- a usually existing wiring of Kontak istssteckers 25 is not shown here.
- FIG. 2 a Merisingssteckharm 53 is shown.
- FIG. 2 shows a partial section through the control unit housing 13 and the Kunststofftechniksstecker 25, in contrast to FIG. 1 the Kunststofftechniksstecker 25 and the auxiliary assembly housing 40 is not pushed so far into the control unit housing 13, so that the latching hook 49 is not yet the locking wedge 46 engages behind.
- the auxiliary mounting housing 40 carries As part of themaschinetechnischssteckers 25, a first contact holder 55 and a second contact holder 55. Both contact holder 55 are mutually mirror-symmetrically arranged and separated by a gap 56. As the name implies, each of the two contact holders 55 carries at least one contacting element 58.
- the contacting elements 58 serve, on the one hand, to connect electrically to the printed circuit board 16, not shown here, through the auxiliary mounting housing 40.
- the contacting elements 58 will be discussed in more detail later.
- the contacting elements 58 are held stationary in the contact holder 55 and each have a bow-shaped portion 61, which is designed to be resilient due to its design against a force acting on it, originating from the printed circuit board normal force or contact force F K.
- the bow-like portions 61 of the two opposing contacting elements 58 of the two opposing contact holders 55 are facing each other.
- the contacting elements 58 receive between them the circuit board 16, as shown later.
- the contact holders 55 each have a bearing surface 64 which face each other and later serve to allow a substantially constant pressure force between the bow-shaped portion 61 and the circuit board 16 by these bearing surfaces 64 come to rest on the circuit board 16, thus to set a distance between parts of the contact members 58 and the circuit board surface.
- the contact holder 55 defines the position of a contact element 58 to the contact carrier 17.
- the set distance is here the distance between the side facing away from the circuit board 16 back of the contacting element 58 and the surface the circuit board 16.
- the back of the contacting element 58 is the point at which the contact holder 55 introduces the force F K in the contacting element 58.
- the two contact holders 55 are integrally connected to each other by these are integrally connected to each other at their common, remote from the circuit board 16 and the bow-shaped portions 61 end.
- the one-piece connection is formed in this case by a hinge 67, which is designed here as a so-called film hinge.
- the contact holder 55 are positively secured by means of a snap connection 70 on the auxiliary assembly housing 40.
- the contact element 58 has substantially three sections along its length: the first section is the aforementioned bow-shaped section 61, a second section facing away from the bow-shaped section 61 serves at the other end of the contact element 58 for fastening an already mentioned Cable, this one in here FIG. 2 not shown, and is formed as a crimp attachment 76. Between the bow-shaped portion 61 and the crimping attachment 76 is a central portion 77. This central portion 77 is bounded in the direction of the bow-like portion 61 by a stop 79. In cooperation with a locking bracket 82, of which in FIG. 2 two legs 85 can be seen, this stop 79 prevents withdrawal of the contacting elements 58 from the contact holder 55, if too large pull-out forces act on the crimp 76.
- the auxiliary mounting housing 40 has a plurality of functional housing sections.
- a first, remote from the contact holders 55 outer sleeve portion 88 is used at its outer periphery to the fact that here, for example, a sealing collar can be fixed by positive engagement by means of the holes 91 shown here.
- this outer sleeve section 88 is followed by an outer stop 94 which, in cooperation with the control unit housing 13 designed as a contacting plug receptacle 13, determines a maximum receiving depth of the auxiliary assembly housing 40 and thus also the contact holder 55 in the contacting plug receptacle 97.
- the outer stop 94 serves with short sections as a pivoting hinge for the latching hook 49 and the pressure grips 52.
- the outer stop 94 is followed by an axial stop 100, which is a stop for a sealing element 103.
- This sealing element is used with in the example 3 incorporated on its outer circumference sealing lips 106 to seal a gap 109 between the Needles istssteckerability 97 and the auxiliary assembly housing 40.
- the sealing element 103 sits on a reduced compared to the outer sleeve portion 88 outer circumference.
- the sealing element 103 is approximately at the same axial position as the already mentioned snap connection 70.
- the counterpart to the Druckmaschinesstecker 25 represents the Kunststoffssenssteckerability 97.
- the circuit board 16 is arranged approximately centrally.
- the circuit board 16 is centered here between two supports 112 and 115.
- the one support 115 is formed here as a sleeve, which has a passage opening 118, which ends at the outer surface of the justify michssteckerability 97.
- This passage opening 118 can serve, for example, to receive a screw by means of which the circuit board 16 can be clamped between the two supports 112 and 115.
- the printed circuit board 15 carries conductor tracks 120 on its two surfaces, which end at its, the the Kunststoffssensstecker 25 receiving opening of the Kunststoffssenssteckerability 97, directed end 123 in the already mentioned Lands 126.
- Lands 126 located on both sides of the printed circuit board 16 serve as a bearing surface or contact surface 127 for the contacting elements 58.
- the plug receptacle 97 has a total of three inner sections, which will be discussed below.
- the first inner portion 130 serves to surround and protect the contact point between Lands 126 and contacting elements 58.
- This first inner section is followed in the direction of the axial end 22 by a second inner section 133, which is made larger in its inner dimensions than the first inner section 130.
- This second inner section serves as a mating surface for the sealing lips 106 of the sealing element 103 and thus as a sealing surface.
- the third inner portion 136 is formed by a step 136 connecting the first and second inner portions 130 and 133 with each other.
- This stage 136 serves to generate an externally acting on the spring elements 73 compressive force or force F to press the two contact holder 55 later on the circuit board 16.
- the spring element 73 causes the force F betweenmaschine istssteckerability 97 and the contact carrier 17th
- FIG. 3 is in the same position as in FIG. 2 a slightly offset longitudinal section through the connector 53 shown.
- the cutting plane is in this case in the joint 109, but at a position which is maximally spaced from the pressure handles 52.
- This sectional view allows a side view of certain functional elements of this connector.
- the plug receptacle 97 on both sides of the circuit board 16 on a a
- which interacts with a Einsteckleitelement 143 is formed on the contact holder 55.
- the Schmidteinsteckleitelement 140 is part of the surface of a wedge 146 on which the contact holder 55 slides when inserting into the plug receptacle 97 with a sliding surface 149.
- the contact holder 55 is pressed by the spring element 73 on a Gegengleit Structure 152. If now the contact holder 55 is further pushed into the connector receptacle 97, a position is reached at which the Einsteckleitelement 143 on Gegeneinsteckleitelement 140 is present. As the contact holder 55 is pushed further inwards, the guide elements 143 and 140, due to the wedge effect, ensure that the contact holder 55 is pushed away from the wedge 146 and thus displaced in the direction of the first inner section 130.
- a second sliding surface 155 is displaced beyond the counter sliding surface 152 to such an extent that the wedge 146, after passing through a constriction 158 formed by the second sliding surfaces 155, finds its final position in an end depression 161.
- the circuit board 16 is received in the gap 56 between the two contact holders 55.
- FIG. 4 a spatial view is shown on two interconnected contact holder 55, as they are already FIG. 2 are described.
- Both contact holders 55 form approximately in the plane in which they face each other a channel 159 for the wedge 146, which spreads apart the two contact holder 55 via the Einsteckleitmaschine 143.
- the wedge 146 ultimately ends up in the end trough 161.
- two Rausziehleitmaschine 164 act on corresponding Jacobrausziehleitmaschine 167 on the wedge 146, FIG. 3 in that, when the contact holder 55 is withdrawn from the plug receptacle 97, the contact holders 55 are spread open again and thus decoupling is possible.
- FIG. 5 shows the position of the Kunststoff musclesssteckers 25 at the point where a Einsteckleitelement 143 just pushes against a Gegeneinsteckleitelement 140 and thus the contact holder 55 experience a second component of movement.
- the first component of motion corresponds to the recording direction as shown in FIG. 5 is drawn. This direction corresponds to the direction of insertion, as in FIG. 2 and FIG. 1 are denoted by a.
- Einsteckleitiata 143 and Gegeneinsteckleitmaschine 140 the contact elements 55 is just a second direction of movement b is forced, which is substantially perpendicular to the receiving direction a.
- the article is characterized in that the first contact holder 55 has a Einsteckleitelement 143 which allows for receiving the Kunststoffssenssteckers 25 in the Kunststofftechnikssteckerability 97 by interaction with aelleseinsteckleitelement 140 additional movement b of the first contact holder 55 substantially perpendicular to the receiving direction a.
- the contact holder 55 is directly or indirectly lockable with a mating contact holder 55.
- the contact holder is indirectly, namely on the auxiliary assembly housing 40 with a mating contact holder, previously described as control unit housing 13 and Needles istssteckerability 97, locked in place.
- the contact holder 55 for example, directly with a circuit board 16 is locked.
- the circuit board 16 is with their Lands 126 a corresponding mating contact holder.
- the embodiment described so far shows two contact holders 55, which are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other.
- the KunststoffssenssteckMIS shown here is not only available in this symmetrical way.
- the Kunststofftechniksstecker only one with respect to FIG. 2 upper half of the variant of the contacting plug 25 shown there is executed. This would mean that from the hinge 67, the lower part of the plug 25 would not be present, at least in such a way that the lower contact holder 55 with contacting elements 58, spring elements 73 would not be present. It would then only, for example, an upper contact holder 55 on an optionally also only one half having wedge 146 perform the appropriate movements.
- the Kunststoffösstecker 25 has a second contact holder 55 with at least one second contact element 58, wherein the second contact holder 55 has a Einsteckleitelement 143, the recording when receiving the Kunststoffssenssteckers 25 in the Kunststofftechnikssteckerability 97 by interaction with aelleseinsteckleitelement 140 an additional movement B of the contact holder 55 substantially perpendicular to the receiving direction a allows.
- the additional movements of the first contact holder 55 and the second contact holder 55 would be opposite to each other.
- first contact holder 55 and possibly the second contact holder 55 each have a Rausziehleitelement 164, the withdrawal of the Kunststoffssenssteckers 25 from the Kunststofftechnikssteckerability 97 by interaction with a Jacobrausziehleitelement 167 an additional movement b or the contact holder 55 substantially perpendicular to Recording direction a allows.
- two contact holders 55 are connected by means of a hinge 67, preferably as a film hinge.
- a spring element 73 is arranged on the side facing away from the contact element 58 side of the contact holder 55.
- This spring element 73 is substantially V- or U-shaped and has two legs 74 and 75. The leg closer to the circuit board 75 serves to support and fix the spring element 73 in the contact holder 55, the leg 74 causes by its position between the contact holder 55 and the Kunststoff istssteckerability 97 a compressive force between the contacting element 58 and the circuit board 16 and their country 126th
- FIG. 6 finally shows the Kunststofftechniksstecker 25 in the Kunststofftechnikssteckerability 97 in the Endsteckposition.
- the at least one contact element 58 contacts a land 126 of the printed circuit board 16, wherein the at least one contact holder 55 rests flush with its bearing surface 64 on the printed circuit board 16.
- this arrangement allows - regardless of the material thickness of the circuit board 16 - a nearly constant contact force or contact force F K of the contact element 58 on a land 126.
- the contact force F K is independent of a force F between themaschinessenssteckerability 97 and the contact carrier 17 acts.
- the item shown here is a so-called direct plug connection. That is, a male connector is omitted and a harness connector or Kunststoffsstecker 25 is contacted directly to the circuit board.
- the contact elements 58 are moved by the superimposed second additional movement b in such a way that the contact elements 58 come to bear against the mating contacts with very little shearing force.
- the contact-making element 58 is brought into contact with the printed circuit board 16 or its lands 126 during the plugging process only very late, thereby being protected. Possibly. existing oxidation layers on the Contact surfaces can be broken by the relative or sliding movement between the lands 126 and the contact elements 58 during the insertion process.
- Circuit boards usually have relatively large width or thickness variations, so that the article described here does not have to compensate for the tolerances of the printed circuit board 16. This is done via the outer spring elements 73, which bring the contact holder 55 in each case to the end position defined by the circuit board surface or shape of the printed circuit board 16.
- the article described here can be, for example, between the cables and the plastic housing with the help of elastomers or gel seal. So can be, for example, as in FIG. 6 shown, the interior of the sleeve portion 88 against the performed cables 170 seal by means of a perforated seal 173. Instead of a perforated seal 173 may for example. At this point, a potting be introduced as a sealant. By the bias of the spring elements 73 on the step 136, the contact holders 55 slide along the Rausziehleitmaschine toward each other.

Es gibt elektrische Geräte, beispielsweise Steuergeräte, die keine Messerleisten mehr aufweisen. Bei diesen Geräten werden so genannte sich auf der Bestückungs- oder Bestückungsgegenseite befindende Lands direkt kontaktiert. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass durch den Austausch von derartigen defekten Leiterplatten durch intakte Leiterplatten die sichere Kontaktierung der Lands nicht unter allen Bedingungen hergestellt werden kann. Dies könnte bspw. bei unterschiedlichen Dicken der Leiterplatten geschehen.There are electrical devices, such as control units, which no longer have male connectors. In the case of these devices, so-called lands located on the assembly or assembly side are contacted directly. It was found that the replacement of such defective circuit boards by intact circuit boards, the safe contacting of the land can not be produced under all conditions. This could happen, for example, with different thicknesses of the printed circuit boards.

Gleiches gilt, wenn ein Kontakthalter eine Lage eines Kontaktelements zum Kontaktträger definiert und somit die Kontaktkraft unabhängig von einer Materialstärke des Kontaktträgers ist.The Kontaktierungssteckverbindung invention having the features of claim 1 has the advantage that
tolerates different board thicknesses and thereby still consistently high contact forces are possible. The reliability of the function is thereby ensured even with different circuit boards. The same applies if a contact holder defines a position of a contact element to the contact carrier and thus the contact force is independent of a material thickness of the contact carrier.
Bewirkt ein Federelement eine Kraft zwischen Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme und dem Kontaktträger, so ist die Kontaktkraft unabhängig von der Kraft, die durch das Federelement ausgeübt wird.If a spring element effects a force between the contacting plug receptacle and the contact carrier, then the contact force is independent of the force exerted by the spring element.
Die erfindungsgemäße Kontaktierungssteckverbindung hat den Vorteil, dass dadurch, dass der Kontakthalter ein Einsteckleitelement hat, welches beim Aufnehmen des Kontaktierungssteckers in die Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme durch Zusammenwirkung mit einem Gegeneinsteckleitelement eine Bewegung des ersten Kontakthalters im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Aufnahmerichtung ermöglicht, eine weitgehend oder völlig scherkraftfreie Steckverbindung ermöglicht wird. Dies bedeutet, dass während des Einsteckens des Kontaktierungssteckers in die Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme keine oder kaum Kräfte auf die Kontaktelemente wirken, die in Aufnahmerichtung wirken. Eine Beschädigung der Kontaktelemente beim Steckvorgang kann somit zumindest weitgehend ausgeschlossen werden, die Steckverbindung ist somit viele Male lösbar, ohne dass die Qualität der Verbindung und ganz besonders der elektrischen Kontaktierung darunter leiden würde. Darüber hinaus hat diese Art der Gestaltung den Vorteil, dass die Kontaktierungselemente verhältnismäßig leicht und materialsparend ausgeführt werden können.The Kontaktierungssteckverbindung invention has the advantage that by the fact that the contact holder has a Einsteckleitelement which allows for receiving the Kontaktierungssteckers in the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme by interaction with a Gegeneinsteckleitelement a movement of the first contact holder substantially perpendicular to the receiving direction, a largely or completely shear-free connector is possible , This means that during insertion of the Kontaktierungssteckers in the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme little or no forces acting on the contact elements, which act in the receiving direction. Damage to the contact elements during insertion can thus be at least largely excluded, The connector is thus solvable many times without the quality of the connection and especially the electrical contact would suffer. In addition, this type of design has the advantage that the contacting elements can be performed relatively easily and material-saving.
Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Kontaktierungssteckverbindung nach dem Hauptanspruch möglich. So ist nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Kontaktierungsstecker einen zweiten Kontakthalter mit zumindest einem zweiten Kontaktelement hat, wobei der zweite Kontakthalter ein Einsteckelement hat, das beim Aufnehmen des Kontaktierungssteckers in die Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme durch Zusammenwirkung mit einem Gegeneinsteckleitelement eine Bewegung des Kontakthalters im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Aufnahmerichtung ermöglicht. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung des Steckers ermöglicht eine gleichzeitige Kontaktierung von mit der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme verbundenen Gegenkontakten in einer zweiten Ebene.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements of Kontaktierungssteckverbindung according to the main claim are possible. Thus, according to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the contacting plug has a second contact holder with at least one second contact element, wherein the second contact holder has a plug-in element which, upon receiving the Kontaktierungssteckers in the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme by interaction with a Gegeneinsteckleitelement a movement of the contact holder substantially perpendicular to the recording direction allows. Such a configuration of the plug allows a simultaneous contacting of mating contacts connected to the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme in a second plane.
Sind die zusätzlichen Bewegungen des Kontakthalters in der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme des ersten Kontakthalters und des zweiten Kontakthalters einander entgegengesetzt, so lässt sich mittels einer derartigen Bewegungssteuerung beispielsweise eine beidseitig mit Gegenkontakten, beispielsweise Lands, versehene Leiterplatte auf beiden Seiten gleichzeitig durch den Kontaktierungsstecker kontaktieren. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass besonders viele Kontaktverbindungen gleichzeitig und auf kleinem Raum hergestellt werden können.If the additional movements of the contact holder in the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme of the first contact holder and the second contact holder are opposite to each other, so by means of such motion control, for example, a both sides with mating contacts, for example Lands, provided PCB contact on both sides simultaneously through the Kontaktierungsstecker. This has the advantage that especially many contact connections can be made simultaneously and in a small space.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der erste Kontakthalter und ggf. der vorhandene zweite Kontakthalter ein Rausziehelement hat, das beim Rausziehen des Kontaktierungssteckers aus der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme durch Zusammenwirkung mit einem Gegenrausziehleitelement eine Bewegung des Kontakthalters bzw. der Kontakthalter im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Aufnahmerichtung ermöglicht. Diese Maßnahme hat zur Folge, dass auch beim Rausziehen des Kontaktierungssteckers aus der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme keine oder nur geringe Scherkräfte zwischen den Kontaktelementen wirken. Auch dies ist eine Maßnahme zur Verlängerung der Lebensdauer der Kontakte.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the first contact holder and possibly the existing second contact holder has a pull-out element, the movement of the contact holder or the contact holder substantially perpendicular to the receiving direction when pulling out of the Kontaktierungssteckers from Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme by interaction with a Gegenrausziehleitelement allows. This measure has the consequence that even when pulling out of Kontaktierungssteckers from the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme no or only small shear forces between the contact elements act. Again, this is a measure to extend the life of the contacts.
Um eine gute räumliche Zuordnung eines ersten Kontakthalters zum zweiten Kontakthalter zu ermöglichen, die besonders beim Einstecken erforderlich ist, sind die beiden Kontakthalter mittels eines Scharniers, welches vorzugsweise als Filmscharnier, also als einstückige Verbindung beider Kontakthalter ausgeführt ist, verbunden.In order to enable a good spatial association of a first contact holder to the second contact holder, which is particularly required when inserting the two contact holders by means of a hinge, which is preferably designed as a film hinge, so as a one-piece connection of both contact holder connected.
Damit ein guter elektrischer Kontakt zwischen dem Kontaktierungselement und dem Gegenkontaktierungselement seitens der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme ermöglicht werden kann, ist vorgesehen, dass auf der vom bzw. den Kontaktelementen abgewandten Seite des Kontakthalters ein Federelement angeordnet ist, welches den Kontakthalter mit einer Federkraft beaufschlagt, die zwischen der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme und dem Kontakthalter wirkt. Für den Fall, dass die Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme eine Leiterplatte als zu kontaktierendes Element aufweist, kann dadurch ermöglicht werden, dass der Kontakthalter mit einer Referenzfläche auf der im Allgemeinen ebenen Leiterplatte insgesamt bündig aufliegen kann. Dies führt dazu, dass das Kontaktierungselement in einer zur Leiterplatte günstigen Position gehalten und eine Kontaktkraft begrenzt werden kann. Die Steckverbindung wird unabhängig von der Leiterplattentoleranz. Die Kontaktkraft kann weitgehend konstant gehalten werden. Dies ist vor allem im Austausch im "Feld" von Bedeutung, wenn Leiterplatten unterschiedlicher Materialstärke ausgetauscht werden.So that a good electrical contact between the contacting element and the Gegenkontaktierungselement can be made from the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme, it is provided that on the side facing away from the contact elements or the contact holder, a spring element is arranged, which acts on the contact holder with a spring force between the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme and the contact holder acts. In the event that the contacting plug receptacle has a printed circuit board as the element to be contacted, it can thereby be made possible that the contact holder can lie flush overall with a reference surface on the generally planar printed circuit board. This results in that the contacting element is held in a favorable position to the circuit board and a contact force can be limited. The connector becomes independent of the PCB tolerance. The contact force can be kept substantially constant. This is especially important in the exchange in the "field" when PCBs of different material thickness are exchanged.
Um das Einbringen von Fremdstoffen in diese Steckverbindung zu vermeiden ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen einem Montagehilfsgehäuse und der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme seitens des Kontaktierungssteckers ein Dichtelement befestigt ist, welches in einer Endsteckposition eine Fuge zwischen Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme und Montagehilfsgehäuse abdichtet.In order to avoid the introduction of foreign matter in this connector is provided that between a mounting auxiliary housing and the Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme part of the Kontaktierungssteckers a sealing element is attached, which seals in a Endsteckposition a gap between Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme and auxiliary assembly housing.
Ein formschlüssiger Sitz des zumindest einen Kontakthalters in dem Montagehilfsgehäuse führt dazu, dass einerseits eine gute Lagezuordnung zwischen Kontakthalter und Montagehilfsgehäuse vorhanden ist, die beim Einstecken von großer Bedeutung ist. Wird dieser Formschluss dabei mittels einer Rastverbindung hergestellt, so ist dies eine besonders kostengünstige und funktionssichere Maßnahme.A positive fit of the at least one contact holder in the auxiliary assembly housing results in that on the one hand a good position assignment between the contact holder and auxiliary assembly housing is present, which is of great importance when plugging. If this positive engagement is produced by means of a latching connection, this is a particularly cost-effective and functionally reliable measure.
Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme einen Teil eines Steuergerätegehäuses ist. Dies bedeutet, dass die Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme einstückig mit dem Steuergerätgehäuse bzw. einem Teil des ggf. mehrteiligen Steuergerätgehäuses verbunden ist, so dass zusätzliche abzudichtende Fugen und damit verbundene übliche Probleme vermieden werden können.Furthermore, it is provided that the contacting plug receptacle is part of a control unit housing. This means that the contacting plug receptacle integrally with the control unit housing or a part of the optionally multi-part control unit housing is connected, so that additional joints to be sealed and related problems can be avoided.

In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die beiden Kontakthalter 55 einstückig miteinander verbunden, indem diese an ihrem gemeinsamen, von der Leiterplatte 16 bzw. dem bügelartigen Abschnitten 61 abgewandten Ende einstückig miteinander verbunden sind. Die einstückige Verbindung wird in diesem Fall durch ein Scharnier 67 gebildet, das hier als sogenanntes Filmscharnier ausgebildet ist. Die Kontakthalter 55 sind mittels einer Schnappverbindung 70 formschlüssig am Montagehilfsgehäuse 40 befestigt. Auf der vom Kontaktelement 58 abgewandten Seite des Kontakthalters 55 ist jeweils zumindest ein Federelement 73 angeordnet, das hier in
Das Montagehilfsgehäuse 40 weist mehrere funktionelle Gehäuseabschnitte auf. Ein erster, von den Kontakthaltern 55 abgewandter äußerer Hülsenabschnitt 88 dient an seinem Außenumfang dazu, dass hier beispielsweise eine Dichtmanschette durch Formschluss mittels der hier dargestellten Löcher 91 befestigt werden kann. Diesem äußeren Hülsenabschnitt 88 folgt in Richtung zu den Kontakthaltern 55 ein äußerer Anschlag 94, der in Zusammenwirkung mit dem als Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 ausgebildeten Steuergerätegehäuse 13 eine maximale Aufnahmetiefe des Montagehilfsgehäuses 40 und damit auch der Kontakthalter 55 in der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 bestimmt. Der äußere Anschlag 94 dient mit kurzen Abschnitten als Schwenkscharnier für den Rasthaken 49 bzw. die Druckgriffe 52. Dem äußeren Anschlag 94 folgt ein axialer Anschlag 100, der ein Anschlag für ein Dichtelement 103 ist. Dieses Dichtelement dient mit im Beispiel 3 an seinem Außenumfang eingearbeiteten Dichtlippen 106 dazu, eine Fuge 109 zwischen der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 und dem Montagehilfsgehäuse 40 abzudichten. Das Dichtelement 103 sitzt auf einem im Vergleich mit dem äußeren Hülsenabschnitt 88 verringerten Außenumfang. Das Dichtelement 103 ist in etwa an der gleichen axialen Position wie die bereits erwähnte Schnappverbindung 70.The auxiliary mounting
Das Gegenstück zum Kontaktierungsstecker 25 stellt die Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 dar. In dieser Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 ist die Leiterplatte 16 in etwa mittig angeordnet. Die Leiterplatte 16 ist hier zwischen zwei Stützen 112 und 115 zentriert. Die eine Stütze 115 ist hier als Hülse ausgebildet, die eine Durchgangsöffnung 118 aufweist, die an der Außenoberfläche der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 endet. Diese Durchgangsöffnung 118 kann beispielsweise dazu dienen, eine Schraube aufzunehmen, mittels derer die Leiterplatte 16 zwischen den beiden Stützen 112 und 115 eingespannt werden kann. Die Leiterplatte 15 trägt auf ihren beiden Oberflächen Leiterbahnen 120, die an ihrem, den Kontaktierungsstecker 25 aufnehmenden Öffnung der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97, gerichteten Ende 123 in den bereits erwähnten Lands 126 enden. Diese auf beiden Seiten der Leiterplatte 16 befindlichen Lands 126 dienen als Auflagefläche bzw. Kontaktfläche 127 für die Kontaktierungselemente 58.The counterpart to the
Die Steckeraufnahme 97 hat insgesamt drei Innenabschnitte, auf die nachfolgend eingegangen wird. Der erste Innenabschnitt 130 dient dazu, die Kontaktstelle zwischen Lands 126 und Kontaktierungselementen 58 zu umgeben und zu schützen. Diesem ersten Innenabschnitt folgt in Richtung des axialen Endes 22 ein zweiter Innenabschnitt 133, der in seinen Innenabmessungen größer gestaltet ist, als der erste Innenabschnitt 130. Dieser zweite Innenabschnitt dient als Gegenfläche für die Dichtlippen 106 des Dichtelements 103 und somit als Dichtfläche. Der dritte Innenabschnitt 136 wird durch eine Stufe 136 gebildet, die den ersten und den zweiten Innenabschnitt 130 und 133 miteinander verbindet. Diese Stufe 136 dient dazu, eine von außen auf die Federelemente 73 wirkende Druckkraft bzw. Kraft F zu erzeugen, um die beiden Kontakthalter 55 später auf die Leiterplatte 16 zu drücken. Das Federelement 73 bewirkt die Kraft F zwischen Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 und dem Kontaktträger 17.The

Wie bisher beschrieben, ist der Kontakthalter mittelbar, nämlich über das Montagehilfsgehäuse 40 mit einem Gegenkontakthalter, hier bisher als Steuergerätegehäuse 13 bzw. Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 beschrieben, ortsfest verriegelbar. Es ist jedoch auch vorstellbar, dass der Kontakthalter 55 bspw. direkt mit einer Leiterplatte 16 verriegelbar ist.

Der der Leiterplatte näher gelegene Schenkel 75 dient der Abstützung und Fixierung des Federelements 73 im Kontakthalter 55, der Schenkel 74 bewirkt durch seine Lage zwischen dem Kontakthalter 55 und der Kontaktierungssteckeraufnahme 97 eine Druckkraft zwischen dem Kontaktierungselement 58 und der Leiterplatte 16 bzw. deren Lands 126.On the side facing away from the
Bei dem hier dargestellten Gegenstand handelt es sich um eine so genannte Direktsteckverbindung. D.h. eine Messerleiste wird weggelassen und ein Kabelbaumstecker bzw. Kontaktierungsstecker 25 wird direkt auf die Leiterplatte kontaktiert. Bei der Steckbewegung bzw. beim Steckvorgang werden die Kontaktelemente 58 durch die überlagerte zweite zusätzliche Bewegung b so bewegt, dass die Kontaktelemente 58 mit sehr geringer Scherkraft auf den Gegenkontakten zur Auflage kommen. Das Kontaktierungselement 58 wird beim Steckvorgang erst sehr spät mit der Leiterplatte 16 bzw. deren Lands 126 in Kontakt gebracht und dadurch geschont. Evtl. vorhandene Oxidationsschichten auf den Kontaktflächen können durch die Relativ- bzw. Gleitbewegung zwischen den Lands 126 und den Kontaktelementen 58 beim Steckvorgang durchbrochen werden.
