Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Steckverbindungsteil mit einem aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden Trägerkörper in dem elektrische Kontakte eingefügt sind und mittels eines Zusatzteiles gehalten sind.The invention relates to an electrical connector part with a Insulating existing carrier body inserted in the electrical contacts are and are held by means of an additional part.

In ein solches Steckverbindungsteil, das als Feder- oder Messerleiste ausgebildet sein kann, wird ein komplementäres Steckverbindungsteil zur Herstellung einer mehrpoligen Steckverbindung eingesteckt. Die nebeneinander in den Trägerkörper des Steckverbindungsteils eingesetzten Segmente weisen auf der Seite, die in den Trägerkörper eingeführt wird, Kontakte auf, die bei einer Federleiste als Kontaktfedern oder bei einer Messerleiste als Kontaktmesser ausgebildet und zur Bewerkstelligung des Kontakts mit den entsprechenden Kontaktmessern bzw. Kontaktfedern des komplementären Steckverbindungsteils vorgesehen sind. Auf einer anderen Seite der Segmente sind mit den jeweiligen Kontakten verbundene Anschlußenden ausgebildet, die beispielsweise mit Anschlüssen einer Leiterplatte verbunden werden können. Dabei können die Anschlußenden rechtwinklig zur Steckrichtung des Steckverbinders angeordnet werden.In such a connector part, which is designed as a spring or male connector can be a complementary connector part to manufacture inserted a multi-pin connector. The side by side have segments inserted into the carrier body of the connector part on the side which is inserted into the carrier body, contacts in a spring strip as contact springs or a male connector as a contact blade trained and to make contact with the corresponding Contact blades or contact springs of the complementary Plug connection part are provided. On another side of the segments are connected to the respective contacts connected terminal ends, for example, connected to terminals of a circuit board can be. The connection ends can be at right angles to the direction of insertion be arranged of the connector.

Die Segmente mit ihren Kontakten und Anschlußenden werden in verschiedenen Variationen hergestellt. Bei einer Herstellungsmethode werden die Kontakte umspritzt, was jedoch relativ kostenaufwendig ist. Bei einer anderen Methode sind die Segmente zweiteilig ausgeführt, und die Kontakte werden zwischen die zwei Segmenthälften eingelegt. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass insgesamt deutlich mehr Einzelteile verarbeitet werden müssen. Schließlich können die Kontakte auch einfach in Scheibchen eingelegt sein, was sich jedoch nachteilig auf deren Festsitz auswirkt.The segments with their contacts and terminal ends are in different Variations made. In a production method, the Overmolded contacts, which is relatively expensive. With another Method, the segments are made in two parts, and the contacts become inserted between the two segment halves. However, this has the disadvantage that a total of significantly more items must be processed. Finally, the contacts can also be simply inserted into slices, which, however, adversely affects their tightness.

Aus der US-A-5 199 886 das als nächstliegender Stand der Technik angesehen wird ist ein elektrischer Leiterplattensteckverbinder bekannt, bei dem elektrische Kontakte in steckseitigen Anschlussöffnungen eines Gehäuses in Reihen und Spalten angeordnet sind, wobei die zur Leiterplatte weisenden offenliegenden Kontaktenden mit einer Umhüllung abgedeckt sind, und wobei die Umhüllung mit Schlitzen versehen ist, in den die Kontaktenden geführt und fixiert sind.From US-A-5 199 886, which is considered to be the closest prior art, an electrical circuit board connector is known, at the electrical contacts in plug-in connection openings a housing are arranged in rows and columns, wherein the circuit board covered exposed contact ends covered with a cladding are, and wherein the sheath is provided with slots in which the Contact ends are guided and fixed.

Weiterhin ist aus der EP-A-0 486 298 ein Multikontakt-Steckverbinder zur Signalübertragung bekannt, bei dem zur Übersprechdämpfung Signalkontakte und Massekontakte abwechselt in Segmentbauweise in einem Trägergehäuse angeordnet sind.Furthermore, from EP-A-0 486 298 a multi-contact connector for Signal transmission known in the crosstalk for signal contacts and ground contacts alternated in segmental design in a carrier housing are arranged.

Des Weiteren sind aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 196 34 844 sowie der deutschen Patentschrift 195 33 295 Gehäuse bekannt, in die ein Innengehäuse eingesetzt werden kann. Es wird ein Deckel bzw. eine Verschlusskappe verwendet, um die Innengehäuse in dem eigentlichen Gehäuse festzulegen.Furthermore, from German Patent Application 196 34 844 and German Patent 195 33 295 housing known, in which an inner housing can be used. It will be a lid or a cap used to set the inner housing in the actual housing.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein elektrisches Steckverbindungsteil mit einem aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden Trägerkörper in dem elektrische Kontakte eingefügt sind und mittels eines Zusatzteiles gehalten sind, dahingehend auszubilden, dass das Steckverbindungsteil in Segmenttechnik ausgeführt werden kann, wobei die Segmente im Steckverbindungsteil sicher, präzise und fest gehalten sind, bei einfacher und damit kostengünstiger Montage. The object of the invention is an electrical connector part with a carrier body consisting of insulating material in the electrical Contacts are inserted and held by means of an additional part, form the effect that the connector part in segment technology can be performed, the segments in the connector part sure are held precisely and firmly, with a simpler and therefore more cost-effective Assembly.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass in den Trägerkörper mehrere Kontakte und Anschlussenden enthaltene Segmente eingefügt sind, und dass die Segmente mittels eines Zusatzteiles aus Isoliermaterial fixiert sind, wobei das Zusatzteil mit kammartigen Anformungen versehen ist, zwischen denen die Segmente angeordnet sind.
Ein solches Zusatzteil bewirkt einen festen Halt der Segmente im Trägerkörper und hat den Vorteil, dass es zusätzlich zur Isolierung der Segmente untereinander dient und damit zu einer Verbesserung hinsichtlich der bei Steckverbindern unerwünschten erforderlichen Luft- und Kriechstrecken im Steckverbinder führt.
This object is achieved in that in the carrier body a plurality of contacts and terminal ends contained segments are inserted, and that the segments are fixed by means of an additional part of insulating material, wherein the additional part is provided with comb-like projections, between which the segments are arranged.
Such an additional part causes a firm hold of the segments in the carrier body and has the advantage that it serves in addition to the isolation of the segments with each other and thus leads to an improvement in the undesirable in connectors required air and creepage distances in the connector.

Vorzugsweise sind die Anschlußenden der Segmente rechtwinklig zur Einsteckrichtung der Kontakte verbindbar, um eine vorteilhafte Steckverbindungskonfiguration zu erreichen, bei der die Anschlußenden der Segmente rechtwinklig zur Steckrichtung des Steckverbindungsteils z.B. in entsprechende Bohrungen einer Leiterplatte ragen. Dadurch kann ein Steckverbindungsteil platzsparend in Längsrichtung der Platine aufgesteckt werden. Preferably, the terminal ends of the segments are perpendicular to the insertion direction the contacts connectable to an advantageous connector configuration to reach at the terminal ends of the segments perpendicular to the insertion direction of the connector part, e.g. in appropriate Protruding holes of a printed circuit board. This can be a connector part to save space in the longitudinal direction of the board.

Zudem erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, Anformungen am Zusatzteil zur Fixierung der Kontakte der in den Trägerkörper eingesetzten Segmente vorzusehen, um deren exakte Positionierung zu ermöglichen. Dies ist insbesondere dann leicht zu verwirklichen, wenn die Kontakte abgekröpft sind und in Eingriff mit den Anformungen am Zusatzteil kommen. Dann ist für eine zuverlässige Kontaktierung der Segmentkontakte mit den entsprechenden Kontakten des komplementären Steckverbindungsteils gesorgt.In addition, it proves to be advantageous, projections on the additional part for fixing to provide the contacts of the segments inserted in the carrier body, to enable their exact positioning. This is special then easy to realize when the contacts are bent and engaged come with the formations on the additional part. Then it is for a reliable Contacting the segment contacts with the corresponding contacts provided the complementary connector part.

Durch verschiedene zusätzliche Maßnahmen kann eine noch bessere Fixierung der Segmente und deren Kontakte erreicht werden. So kann etwa das Zusatzteil mit einer Auflagefläche auf eine erste, von den Kontakten abgewandte Abschlußfläche eines jeden Segments drücken und damit das Segment mit einer der ersten Abschlußfläche gegenüberliegenden zweiten Abschlußfläche auf einen Anschlag des Trägerkörpers drücken, wodurch die Einstecktiefe der Segmente in den Trägerkörper festgelegt wird. Eine Fixierung der Segmente quer zu deren Einsteckrichtung ist durch rippenförmige Anformungen am Zusatzteil möglich, die jeweils in eine entsprechende Ausnehmnung in der ersten Abschlußfiäche eines Segments eingreifen. Schließlich können die äußeren Segmente des Steckverbindungsteils vorzugsweise durch einen Vorsprung in der Auflagefläche des Zusatzteils festgehalten werden, der in einen entsprechenden Absatz der ersten Abschlußfläche eines Segments eingreift.Through various additional measures can be an even better fixation the segments and their contacts are reached. That's how it can be Additional part with a bearing surface on a first, facing away from the contacts Press the end surface of each segment and thus the segment with a second end surface opposite the first end surface Press on a stop of the carrier body, causing the Insertion depth of the segments is set in the carrier body. A fixation the segments transverse to the insertion is by rib-shaped Formations on the additional part possible, each in a corresponding recess intervene in the first termination area of a segment. Finally, the outer segments of the connector part may preferably held by a projection in the support surface of the additional part be in a corresponding paragraph of the first closure surface engages a segment.

Für einen optimalen Festsitz des Zusatzteils im Trägerkörper weist das Zusatzteil bevorzugt federnde Rastnasen auf, die in entsprechende Rastausnehmungen des Trägerkörpers einrasten und so eine feste Arretierung ermöglichen. Zu diesem Zweck kann auch eine Stützwand im Trägerkörper mit Rippen vorgesehen sein, wobei die Rippen jeweils eine Aussparung aufweisen, in die eine entsprechende angeformte Nase des Zusatzteils eingreift.For an optimal tight fit of the additional part in the carrier body, the additional part preferably resilient latching lugs, which engage in corresponding recesses engage the carrier body and thus enable a firm locking. For this purpose, a support wall in the carrier body with Ribs may be provided, wherein the ribs each have a recess, in which engages a corresponding molded nose of the additional part.

Schließlich erweist es sich für eine schnelle und einfache Demontage des Steckverbindungsteils in seine Einzelteile als vorteilhaft, wenn der Trägerkörper und die Segmente nur durch das Zusatzteil zusammengehalten werden.Finally, it turns out for a quick and easy disassembly of the Plug connection part in its individual parts as advantageous if the carrier body and the segments are held together only by the attachment.

As a result, the insertion depth of Segments 2 defined exactly in the carrier body 19.

Mit den rippenförmigen Anformungen 8, die jeweils in die Nut 9 eines Segments 2 greifen, werden die Segmente 2 von dem Zusatzteil 3 in Querrichtung bezogen auf die Einsteckrichtung gehalten. Die äußersten Segmente des Federsteckverbindungsteils werden jeweils durch den Vorsprung 17 im Randbereich des Zusatzteils 3 festgehalten, der in dem Absatz 18 des entsprechenden Segments 2 zu liegen kommt. Eine sichere Arretierung des Zusatzteils 3 wird durch die angeformten Nasen 25 erreicht, die in die Aussparungen 26 in den Rippen 23 der Stützwand 21 des Trägerkörpers 19 greifen. Zum selben Zweck sind zusätzlich noch die stiftförmigen Anformungen 27 am Zusatzteil 3 vorgesehen, die zusammen mit den Kontaktfedern 5 der Segmente 2 in die Ausformungen 20 des Trägerkörpers 19 ragen.With the rib-shaped projections 8, each in the groove 9 of a segment 2 engage, the segments 2 of the additional part 3 in the transverse direction held relative to the insertion. The outermost segments of the spring connector part are respectively by the projection 17 in Fixed edge portion of the additional part 3, which in paragraph 18 of the corresponding Segments 2 comes to rest. A secure locking of the additional part 3 is achieved by the molded-on lugs 25 which are in the recesses 26 engage in the ribs 23 of the support wall 21 of the support body 19. For the same purpose, in addition, the pin-shaped projections 27th provided on the additional part 3, which together with the contact springs 5 of Segments 2 protrude into the formations 20 of the support body 19.

Das beschriebene Steckverbindungsteil 1 ist so konzipiert, daß bei der Entfernung des Zusatzteils 3 die Segmente 2 nicht im Trägerkörper 19 festgehalten werden. Dadurch ist eine schnelle und einfach Demontage möglich. Alternativ können jedoch auch für eine vereinfachte Montage des Steckverbindungsteils 1 Mittel für den Zusammenhalt der Segmente 2 mit dem Trägerkörper 19 vorgesehen sein, so daß diese ohne das Zusatzteil 3 zusammenhalten und so eine vormontierbare Einheit bilden.The connector part 1 described is designed so that in the removal of the additional part 3, the segments 2 are not held in the carrier body 19 become. This makes a quick and easy disassembly possible. Alternatively, however, also for a simplified installation of the connector part 1 means for the cohesion of the segments 2 with the carrier body 19 may be provided so that they hold together without the additional part 3 and thus form a preassemblable unit.
