Abstract

Eine elektrische Verbinderanordnung zur Kontaktierung eines Flachfolienleiters besteht aus einem Gehäuse (1) zur Aufnahme eines Flachfolienleiters (12). Im Gehäuse (1) ist eine Vielzahl von Kontakten (2) angeordnet. Die Kontakte (2) weisen ein erstes festes Ende (3) und ein freibewegliches zweites Ende (4) auf. Im Gehäuse (1) ist eine Öffnung (11) zur Aufnahme des Flachfolienleiters (12) mit einer Vielzahl von Leitern (13) vorgesehen. In der Öffnung (11) wird ein Pressblock (17) senkrecht zur Laufrichtung der Leiter (13) eingebracht. Die Leiter (13) des Flachfolienleiters (12) werden vom Pressblock (17) an den jeweilig beweglichen zweiten Enden (4) der Kontakte (2) gepresst. Die Kontakte (2) werden entgegen der Federkraft angespannt. Das Gehäuse (1) weist in einem Übergangsbereich (14) ein Doppel-T-förmiges Profil zur Aufnahme der Kräfte auf. Die elektrische Verbinderanordnung wird auf einer Unterlage, beispielsweise eine gedruckten Schaltungskarte, montiert.

Figure 00000001
An electrical connector arrangement for contacting a flat film conductor consists of a housing (1) for receiving a flat film conductor (12). A large number of contacts (2) are arranged in the housing (1). The contacts (2) have a first fixed end (3) and a freely movable second end (4). An opening (11) for receiving the flat film conductor (12) with a plurality of conductors (13) is provided in the housing (1). A press block (17) is introduced into the opening (11) perpendicular to the running direction of the conductors (13). The conductors (13) of the flat foil conductor (12) are pressed by the press block (17) at the respective movable second ends (4) of the contacts (2). The contacts (2) are tightened against the spring force. The housing (1) has a double T-shaped profile in a transition area (14) to absorb the forces. The electrical connector assembly is mounted on a base, such as a printed circuit board.
