Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbindung zwischen einem Leiterplattenstecker und einem Gegenstecker, wobei der Leiterplattenstecker eine Steckerschirmung z.B. in Form eines Schirmbleches oder einer Metallisierungsschicht aufweist und zwischen dem Leiterplattenstecker und dem Gegenstecker ein I/O-Blech mit einer Öffnung vorgesehen ist, durch welche der Leiterplattenstecker und der Gegenstecker kontaktierbar und über Gewindebolzen und Schrauben aneinander festlegbar sind wobei ein Stützmittel vorgesehen ist, das beim Verschrauben des Gegensteckers mit dem Leiterplattenstecker den Gegenstecker am I/O-Blech abstützt, wodurch die Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers gegen das I/O-Blech gezogen wird.The invention relates to a plug connection between a PCB connector and a mating connector, the PCB connector a connector shield e.g. in form of Has shield plate or a metallization layer and between the PCB connector and the mating connector I / O plate is provided with an opening through which the PCB connector and the mating connector can be contacted and can be fixed to each other using threaded bolts and screws wherein a support means is provided which when screwing the mating connector with the circuit board connector supported on the I / O plate, whereby the connector shield of the PCB connector is pulled against the I / O plate.

Eine derartige Steckverbindung ist aus der EP-A-887894 bekannt.Such a connector is known from EP-A-887894.

Derartige Steckverbindungen treten in der Regel in PCs auf, wobei der Leiterplattenstecker auf einer Baugruppenkarte oder dem Motherboard angeordnet ist und der Gegenstecker an einem Kabel, welches zum Drucker, zur Maus, zum Bildschirm oder zu einer anderen externen Komponente führt, angeschlossen ist.Such plug connections usually occur in PCs, the PCB connector on a module card or the motherboard is arranged and the mating connector on one Cable that connects to the printer, mouse, screen or another external component is connected.

Das I/O-Blech stellt in der Regel die Rückseite des PCs dar und dient zum einen als Gehäusewand und zum anderen auch als Steckerschirmung gegen elektromagnetische Einflüsse.The I / O plate usually represents the back of the PC and serves on the one hand as a housing wall and on the other hand as Plug shielding against electromagnetic influences.

Um eine möglichst gute elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) zu erzielen, ist es wichtig, daß die Steckerschirmung am Leiterplattenstecker mit dem I/O-Blech leitend verbunden und somit eine Massekontakt hergestellt ist.For the best possible electromagnetic compatibility To achieve (EMC), it is important that the connector shield Conductively connected to the I / O plate on the PCB connector and thus a ground contact is made.

Nach dem alten Standard wurde dies dadurch erzielt, daß der Leiterplattenstecker mit seiner Steckerschirmung durch eine Öffnung im I/O-Blech gesteckt und anschließend über Gewindebolzen, welche durch separate, neben der Öffnung ausgebildete Bohrungen von der anderen Seite des I/O-Blechs gesteckt wurden, verschraubt wurde. Durch die separat ausgebildeten Gewindebolzen, welche von der anderen Seite des I/O-Blechs in den Leiterplattenstecker geschraubt wurden, wurde der Leiterplattenstecker mit seiner Steckerschirmung gegen das I/O-Blech gezogen, wodurch eine gute Kontaktierung zwischen der Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers und dem I/O-Blechs gewährleistet wurde.According to the old standard, this was achieved in that the PCB connector with its connector shielding by a Opening in the I / O plate and then over threaded bolts, which are formed by separate, next to the opening Holes from the other side of the I / O plate, was screwed. Due to the separately formed threaded bolts, which from the other side of the I / O plate the PCB connector were screwed, the PCB connector with its connector shield against the I / O plate drawn, which ensures good contact between the Shielding of the PCB connector and the I / O plate was guaranteed.

Bei der gattungsgemäßen Ausbildung nach dem neuen Standard, sind die Gewindebolzen bereits an dem Leiterplattenstecker befestigt und ist die Öffnung im I/O-Blech so groß ausgebildet, daß die kragenartig nach vorne vorspringende Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers zusammen mit den daran angeordneten Gewindebolzen durch die Öffnung gesteckt werden kann.In the generic training according to the new standard, the threaded bolts are already on the PCB connector attached and the opening in the I / O plate is so large that the collar-like protruding connector shield the PCB connector together with the ones on it arranged threaded bolts are inserted through the opening can.

Der neue Standard erleichtert zwar die Montage erheblich, jedoch wird durch die Gewindebolzen keine sichere Kontaktierung zwischen der Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers und dem I/O-Blech erzielt.The new standard makes installation considerably easier, however there is no reliable contacting due to the threaded bolts between the connector shield of the PCB connector and the I / O plate.

Je nach den Maßtoleranzen der Leiterplatte und den Platzierungstoleranzen des Leiterplattensteckers auf der Leiterplatte erfolgt nur eine schlechte oder überhaupt keine Kontaktierung zwischen Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers und dem I/O-Blech. Auch durch das Aufstecken eines Gegensteckers wird keine sichere Kontaktierung zwischen der Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers und dem I/O-Blech gewährleistet, da die Gegenstecker alle genormt sind und lediglich auf dem Leiterplattenstecker aufgesteckt und mit den Gewindebolzen verschraubt werden.Depending on the dimensional tolerances of the circuit board and the placement tolerances the PCB connector on the PCB there is only poor or no contact between the shielding of the PCB connector and the I / O plate. Also by plugging in a mating connector there is no reliable contact between the connector shield the PCB connector and the I / O plate, since the mating connectors are all standardized and only open attached to the PCB connector and with the threaded bolts be screwed.

Durch das Aufstecken der Gegenstecker besteht vielmehr die Gefahr, daß durch die Steckkraft der Leiterplattenstecker zurückgebogen wird und damit die sichere Kontaktierung zwischen der Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers und dem I/O-Blech verhindert wird. Auch wird durch das Aufstecken des Gegensteckers die Verbindung zwischen Leiterplattenstecker und Leiterplatte stark beansprucht, da die kompletten Steckkräfte auf diese Verbindung übertragen werden.Rather, by plugging in the mating connector Danger of being bent back by the plug-in force of the PCB connector and thus the secure contact between the connector shield of the PCB connector and the I / O plate is prevented. Also by plugging in the mating connector the connection between PCB connector and Printed circuit board heavily used because of the complete insertion forces be transferred to this connection.

Der neue Standard, gemäß welchem die Leiterplattenstecker mit den Gewindebolzen durch eine einzige Öffnung im I/O-Blech gesteckt werden, bringt zwar den Vorteil mit sich, daß die Gewindebolzen nicht mehr getrennt in den Leiterplattenstecker eingeschraubt werden müssen, jedoch geht die sichere Kontaktierung zwischen der Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers und des I/O-Bleches verloren und auf die Verbindung Leiterplattenstecker - Leiterplatte werden die Steckkräfte übertragen.The new standard, according to which the PCB connector with the threaded bolt through a single opening in the I / O plate are, however, has the advantage that the threaded bolts no longer separately in the PCB connector have to be screwed in, however, safe contacting is possible between the connector shield of the PCB connector and the I / O plate is lost and on the connection PCB connector - PCB become the insertion forces transfer.

Die EP-A-887894 schlägt zur Lösung dieses Problems ein Stützmittel und eine Sicherungsfeder vor, die zwischen Gegenstecker und Leiterplattenstecker geklemmt werden. Nachteilig an dieser Lösung ist die Verwendung von zusätzlichen losen Teilen, die bei häufiger Demontage und Montage verloren gehen können.EP-A-887894 proposes a proppant to solve this problem and a locking spring in front that between mating connector and PCB connector are clamped. Disadvantageous this solution is the use of additional loose parts, which are lost if the disassembly and assembly is carried out frequently can.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die gattungsgemäße Steckverbindung derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß ohne Verletzung des neuen Standards eine sichere Kontaktierung zwischen der Steckerschirmung des Leiterplattensteckers und dem I/O-Blech erzielt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of the generic type Develop plug connection so that without Violation of the new standard a safe contact between the connector shield of the PCB connector and the I / O plate is achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Teile der Ansprüche 1, 2 und 3 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing Parts of claims 1, 2 and 3 solved.

Vorzugsweise sind wie beim Standard die Gewindebolzen am Leiterplattenstecker und die Schrauben am Gegenstecker angeordnet und die Gewindebolzen des Leiterplattensteckers durch die Öffnung im I/O-Blech geführt. Der Leiterplattenstecker weist vorzugsweise eine sowohl flächige als auch kragenartige Steckerschirmung (Sub-D) in Form eines Schirmbleches oder eines metallisierten Kunststoffes auf, welche im in Steckrichtung vorspringenden Teil durch die Öffnung im I/O-Blech geführt ist.As with the standard, the threaded bolts on the PCB connector are preferred and the screws on the mating connector and the threaded bolts of the PCB connector through the Opening in the I / O plate. The PCB connector points preferably a flat as well as a collar-like connector shield (Sub-D) in the form of a shield plate or one metallized plastic, which in the direction of insertion projecting part through the opening in the I / O plate is.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform ist das Stützmittel einstückig mit dem I/O-Blech ausgebildet und wird zum Beispiel durch Laschen, welche seitlich der Öffnung um 90° nach außen abgebogen sind, erzeugt.According to a first embodiment, the support means integrally formed with the I / O plate and is for example by tabs, which are 90 ° laterally to the opening are turned outside, generated.

Gemäß einer altenativen Ausführungsform ist das Stützmittel als Distanzstück ausgebildet, welches durch die auf das I/O-Blech durchgeführten Gewindebolzen aufsteckbar ist und sich im verschraubten Zustand auf der einen Seite am I/O-Blech und auf der anderen Seite am Gegenstecker abstützt. Die Distanzstücke sind dabei so ausgebildet, daß sie nach dem Aufstecken auf den Gewindebolzen selbst klemmend gehalten sind.According to an alternative embodiment, the proppant is formed as a spacer, which by the on the I / O plate performed threaded bolt is attachable and in the screwed state on one side on the I / O plate and supported on the other side on the mating connector. The spacers are designed so that they are attached are held clamped on the threaded bolt itself.

Das Distanzstück kann pro Gewindebolzen vorgesehen sein oder auch einteilig für beide Gewindebolzen ausgebildet sein, wobei bei dieser Ausführungsvariante dann eine Durchstecköffnung für die Kontaktierung des Leiterplattensteckers und des Gegensteckers vorgesehen ist.The spacer can be provided per threaded bolt or also be formed in one piece for both threaded bolts, wherein in this variant then a push-through opening for contacting the PCB connector and the Mating connector is provided.

Günstigerweise besteht das Distanzstück aus Kunststoff, kann jedoch auch zur zusätzlichen Kontaktierung aus einem leitfähigen Material wie Metall hergestellt sein.Conveniently, the spacer is made of plastic, can however also for additional contacting from a conductive Material like metal.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand in den Zeichnungen dargestellter Ausführungsvarianten näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated below with reference to the drawings Variants explained in more detail.
