Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kontaktiervorrichtung für eine Steckvorrichtung eines Patchpanels, wobei die Steckvorrichtung über Leiterbahnen mit elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Baukomponenten auf einer Leiterplatte verbunden ist.The invention relates to a contacting device for a plug-in device of a patch panel, wherein the plug-in device is connected via printed conductors with electrical and / or electronic components on a printed circuit board.
Bei Telekommunikationsanlagen werden zum Rangieren von Daten sog. Patchpanels eingesetzt z.B. DE 199 23 676 A1. Ein Patchpanel ist ein Umsteckfeld, bei dem Daten, die an Leitungen eines ankommenden Kabels anstehen, durch Steckvorrichtungen an der Frontblende des Patchpanels abgegriffen werden können. Die Steckvorrichtungen an der Frontplatte sind häufig direkt mit einer Platine im Gehäuseinneren des Patchpanels verlötet und über gedruckten Leiterbahnen mit Baukomponenten auf der Platine verbunden. Es gibt Anwendungsfälle bei denen es der Abgriff der Daten erforderlich macht, dass die Steckerbelegung einer oder mehrerer Steckbuchsen an der Frontblende umkonfiguriert werden muss. Dies kann beispielsweise der Fall sein, wenn bei einem ISDN-Kommunikationssystem der Anschluss vor Ort zwischen einem sogenannten externen S0-Port (ein digitaler Amtsanschluss) und einem internen S0-Bus (ein S0 Anschluss für ein ISDN-Endgerät) umkonfiguriert werden muss. Das Umkonfigurieren erfordert das Öffnen des Gehäuses und das manuelle Kreuzen von SR und SX-Adern. Dieses manuelle Umbelegen der Leitungen ist zeitaufwendig und kann Fehler verursachen.In telecommunications systems, so-called patch panels are used for maneuvering data, e.g. DE 199 23 676 A1. A patch panel is a patch panel where data on lines of an incoming cable can be tapped through connectors on the front panel of the patch panel. The plug-in devices on the front panel are often soldered directly to a board inside the housing of the patch panel and connected via printed conductors with components on the board. There are some cases where it is necessary to tap the data to reconfigure the pin assignment of one or more sockets on the front panel. This can be the case, for example, if in an ISDN communication system, the local connection between a so-called external S0 port (a digital trunk connection) and an internal S0 bus (an S0 port for an ISDN terminal) must be reconfigured. Reconfiguring requires opening the enclosure and manually crossing SR and SX cores. This manual transfer of the lines is time-consuming and can cause errors.
Zum Umkonfigurieren der Kontaktbelegung eines Platinensteckers könnte grundsätzlich eine zweite Steckbuchse oder ein sog. DIL-(Dual-In-Line)-Schalter verwendet werden. Eine Lösung mit zwei Steckbuchsen wären aber vergleichsweise aufwendig. Eine Lösung mit DIL-Schalter hätte darüber hinaus den Nachteil, dass aus der kodierten Schalterstellung nicht ohne weiteres die Kontaktbelegung der Steckeinrichtung erkennbar wäre.To reconfigure the pin assignment of a board connector could basically a second socket or a so-called DIL (dual-in-line) switches are used. A solution with two sockets would be relatively expensive. A solution with DIL switch would also have the disadvantage that would not be readily apparent from the coded switch position, the pin assignment of the connector.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Kontaktiervorrichtung für eine Steckvorrichtung eines Patchpanels zu schaffen, bei der eine Kontaktbelegung von außen leicht erkennbar ist und die in der Fertigung billig ist.The present invention is based on the object to provide a contacting device for a plug-in device of a patch panel, in which a contact assignment from the outside is easily recognizable and which is cheap to manufacture.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt bei einer Kontaktiervorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art durch folgende Merkmale:
- a) An einem Rand einer Leiterplatte sind zumindest zwei zur steckbaren Aufnahme einer Brückenfederleiste ausgebildete Kontaktfelder vorgesehen.
- b) In jedem der zumindest zwei Kontaktfelder ist jede Leiterbahn durch eine Kontaktfläche auf der Oberseite und durch eine Kontaktfläche auf der Unterseite der Leiterplatte am Rand herausgeführt.
- c) In jedem der zumindest zwei Kontaktfelder ist die räumliche Anordnung der jeweils einen Leiterbahn zugeordneten Kontaktflächen unterschiedlich.
- d) Durch Aufstecken der Brückenfederleiste in einem der zumindest zwei Kontaktfelder werden die oberseitigen mit den jeweils gegenüberliegenden unterseitigen Kontaktflächen kontaktiert.
- a) At one edge of a printed circuit board at least two trained for plug-in recording a bridge spring bar contact fields are provided.
- b) In each of the at least two contact fields each conductor track is led out through a contact surface on the upper side and through a contact surface on the underside of the printed circuit board at the edge.
- c) In each of the at least two contact fields, the spatial arrangement of each contact strip associated contact surfaces is different.
- d) By attaching the bridge spring strip in one of the at least two contact fields, the upper side are contacted with the respective opposite lower-side contact surfaces.
Durch das Aufstecken der Brückenfederleiste ist von außen leicht die Konfiguration einer Steckvorrichtung eines Patchpanels erkennbar. Es ist nicht erforderlich, dass das Gehäuses vor Ort geöffnet werden muss. Die Konfiguration ist durch das Layout der Leiterplatte vorgegeben, ein unbeabsichtigtes Vertauschen von Leitern ausgeschlossen. Die Kontaktfelder auf der Platine können in gedruckter Schaltungstechnik einfach hergestellt werden. Zur Herstellung der Kontaktfederleiste sind vorhandene Werkzeuge einsetzbar, die nur geringfügig angepasst werden müssen.By attaching the bridge spring bar, the configuration of a plug-in device of a patch panel is easily recognizable from the outside. It is not necessary that the housing must be opened on site. The configuration is through the layout of the circuit board specified, precluded an unintentional exchange of conductors. The contact pads on the board can be easily manufactured using printed circuit technology. To produce the contact spring strip existing tools can be used, which need only be slightly adapted.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von abhängigen Ansprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
Wenn die Kontaktflächen als Rechtecke ausgebildet sind, die sich in Aufsteckrichtung erstrecken und zueinander parallelliegend angeordnet sind, entsteht durch das kraftschlüssige Aufstecken der Brückenfederleiste eine sichere Kontaktierung zwischen Kontaktflächen auf der Ober- und auf der Unterseite der Platine.If the contact surfaces are formed as rectangles, which extend in Aufsteckrichtung and are arranged parallel to each other, is formed by the frictional attachment of the bridge spring bar secure contact between contact surfaces on the top and bottom of the board.
Günstig ist, wenn benachbarte Kontaktfelder jeweils durch eine sich in Aufsteckrichtung erstreckende langlochförmige Ausnehmung getrennt angeordnet sind. Diese Einfräsungen am Rand bilden beim Aufstecken der Brückenfederleiste jeweils eine Führung für die Seitenwände des Steckerschachts.It is favorable if adjacent contact fields are arranged separately by a slot-shaped recess extending in the direction of attachment. These milled recesses on the edge form a guide for the sidewalls of the connector shaft when the bridge spring strip is attached.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Brückenfederleiste so ausgebildet, dass jedes der im Steckerschacht angeordneten Kontaktfederelemente durch ein U-förmiges BiegeStanzteil gebildet ist, so dass im aufgesteckten Zustand die Schenkel eines jeden Biege-Stanzteils durch Federkraft jeweils an der oberseitigen und an der unterseitigen Kontaktfläche anliegen.In a preferred embodiment, the bridge spring strip is formed so that each of the arranged in the connector shaft contact spring elements is formed by a U-shaped BiegeStanzteil, so that rest in the attached state, the legs of each bending punched part by spring force respectively on the upper side and on the lower side contact surface ,
In einer hinsichtlich der Herstellungskosten besonders günstigen Ausführungsform ist der Steckerschacht der Brückenfederleiste als Spritzgussteil aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Jedes Kontaktfederelement ist im Bereich des Verbindungsteils der U-förmigen Schenkel in polymeren Werkstoff eingebettet.In a particularly favorable in terms of manufacturing cost embodiment, the plug shaft of the bridge spring strip is made as an injection molded part made of plastic. Each contact spring element is embedded in the region of the connecting part of the U-shaped legs in polymeric material.
Bevorzugt werden zwei Kontaktfelder, die jeweils mit einer Steckvorrichtung räumlich zusammengefasst sind. Durch diese räumliche Zuordnung ist die jeweilige Konfiguration der Kontaktbelegung der Steckvorrichtung von außen leicht erkennbar. Darüber hinaus kann eine Beschriftung an der Brückenfederleiste in Verbindung mit einer korrespondierenden ergänzenden Beschriftung auf der Frontplatte des Patchpanels zusätzlich die Erkennbarkeit erleichtern.Preference is given to two contact fields, which are spatially combined in each case with a plug-in device. Through this spatial allocation, the respective configuration of the pin assignment of the plug-in device is easily recognizable from the outside. In addition, a lettering on the bridge spring strip in conjunction with a corresponding supplementary lettering on the front panel of the patch panel additionally facilitate the recognizability.
Die erfindungsgemäße Kontaktiervorrichtung lässt sich vorteilhaft beim Umkonfigurieren eines ISDN- Anschlusses einsetzen.The contacting device according to the invention can advantageously be used when reconfiguring an ISDN connection.

Die Figuren 1 bis 4 zeigen, jeweils in einer perspektivischen Ansicht, ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Kontaktiervorrichtung 1 mit zwei Steckfeldern 8,9 vor (Fig.1 und Fig.4) bzw. nach dem Aufstecken (Fig.2 und Fig.3)der Brückenfederleiste 14. Durch Aufstecken der Brückenfederleiste 14 wird die Kontaktbelegung der zugeordneten Steckeinrichtung 2 konfiguriert. Die Steckvorrichtung 2 ist als RJ-45 (Mini-Western)-Steckbuchse 2 gezeichnet. Die Steckfelder 8,9 sind von der nicht näher dargestellten Frontplatte des Patchpanels her zugänglich. Elemente gleicher Konstruktion bzw. Funktion sind in den Figuren 1 bis 5 jeweils mit den selben Bezugszeichen versehen.Figures 1 to 4 show, each in a perspective view, an embodiment of the
Wie aus Figur 1 leicht zu entnehmen ist, sind die beiden Kontaktfelder 8,9 am Rand 13 der Leiterplatte 7 nebeneinander und räumlich benachbart zur Steckbuchse 2 angeordnet. Wie der Schaltplan in Figur 5 zeigt, sind die Leiterbahnen 3,4,5,6, welche die Steckvorrichtung 2 mit nicht näher dargestellten elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Baugruppen auf der Leiterplatte verbinden, jeweils zu Kontaktflächen 10, 10'geführt. Die Kontaktflächen 10, 10' sind im Layout der Leiterplatte Rechtecke. In Sicht auf die Leiterplatte erstrecken sich die Rechtecke in Aufsteckrichtung 15 und sind in einer Reihe zueinander parallel liegend angeordnet. Jede Leiterbahn endet jeweils in einer Kontaktfläche 10 an der Oberseite 11 bzw. in einer Kontaktfläche 10' auf der Unterseite 12 der Leiterplatte. Beidseitig zu jedem Kontaktfeld 8,9 ist am Rand 13 der Leiterplatte 7 eine Ausnehmung 16 eingefräst. Diese Einfräsungen 16 helfen beim Aufstecken der Brückenfederleiste 14, indem sie eine Führung für die Seitenwände 20, 21 des Steckerschachts 17 bilden. Die Brückenfederleiste 14 weist einen Haltegriff 22 auf, der in einer aufgesteckten Stellung bündig mit der Leiterplattenkante abschließt (Figur 2 und Figur 3). Zum leichteren Erkennen der jeweiligen Belegkonfiguration der Steckeinrichtung 2 kann die Brückenfederleiste 14 eine Kennzeichnung 23, 24 aufweisen.

Die Beschriftung 23,24 kann in Verbindung mit einer korrespondierenden Beschriftung auf der Frontplatte des Patchpanels eine ergänzende Information über die Belegung kenntlich machen.As can be easily seen from FIG. 1, the two
Die Figur 4 zeigt die Kontaktiervorrichtung 1 vor dem Aufstecken der Brückenfederleiste 14 in einer Sicht auf die Öffnung des Steckerschachtes 17. In der Öffnung des Schachts 17 sind die Kontaktfederelemente sichtbar. Jedes Kontaktfederelement besteht aus einem U-förmigen Blechbiege-Stanzteil. Die Schenkel 18,19 des Biegestanzteils liegen in aufgestecktem Zustand jeweils an einer oberseitigen 10 und einer unterseitigen Kontaktfläche 10' mit Federkraft an. Dadurch werden jeweils gegenüberliegende Kontaktflächen der Ober- bzw. Unterseite 11,12 eines Kontaktfeldes 8,9 kontaktiert.4 shows the contacting
Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 bis Figur 4 erstreckt sich der Steckerschacht 17 in seiner Breite jeweils über die Breite eines Kontaktfeldes. Es ist aber auch eine, in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellte, Ausführungsvariante denkbar, bei der sich der Gehäuseschacht über zwei Kontaktfelder 8,9 erstreckt, aber nur über die Breite eines Kontaktfeldes 8 oder 9mit Kontaktfederelementen bestückt ist. Wird diese Ausführungsvariante in einer ersten bzw. in einer zweiten, um 180 Grad gegenüber der ersten gewendeten Stellung, auf die Kontaktfelder 8,9 aufgesteckt, werden die Kontaktflächen im Kontaktfeld 8 oder im Kontaktfeld 9 überbrückt. In aufgesteckter Stellung greifen bei dieser Variante die Seitenwände 20 und 21 jeweils in die seitlich außenliegenden Einfräsungen 16.In the embodiment of Figure 1 to Figure 4, the plug shaft 17 extends in width over the width of a contact field.

In Figur 5 ist ein Schaltplan für die Umkonfiguration einer RJ-45 Steckeinrichtung eines ISDN-Anschlusses gezeigt. Der S0-Anschluss besteht aus den Signalleitungen SX1, SX2, SR1 und SR2. Die Leiterbahnen 3,4,5, 6 verbinden nicht näher dargestellte elektronische Bauelemente auf der Leiterplatte mit der RJ-45 Buchse 2. Die Kontaktfelder 8,9 sind im Schaltplan schematisch als Ausriss einer Leiterplatte dargestellt. Jede Leiterbahn ist durch eine Kontaktfläche 10 an der Oberseite und durch eine Kontaktfläche 10' auf der Unterseite am Rand der Leiterplatte herausgeführt. Die Anordnung der Leiter ist in Kontaktfeld 8 und 9 unterschiedlich. Zum Umschalten zwischen externen und internen S0-Betrieb müssen die Adern SR und SX (Leiterbahnen 6 und 5 beziehungsweise 4 und 3) gekreuzt werden. Dies erfolgt durch die Kontaktiervorrichtung 1 durch Aufstecken einer Brückenfederleiste 14 auf eines der Kontaktfelder 8 oder 9. Je nachdem, ob die Brückenfederleiste 14 auf dem linken Kontaktfeld 8 oder auf dem rechten Kontaktfeld 9 aufgesteckt ist, ist der ISDN-Anschluss zum Anschluss an ein digitales Amt oder zum Anschluss eines ISDN-S0-Endgerätes konfiguriert.FIG. 5 shows a circuit diagram for the reconfiguration of an RJ-45 plug-in device of an ISDN connection.
