- the contact elements 214 are formed as a coaxial connector with inner conductor 218 and outer conductor 220.
- the signal conductor elements 212 are each formed as a stripline extending in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction 222 and each connect a coaxial connector 214 with a cable terminal 224 at a cable-side end 226 of the connector 200.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder mit einem Gehäuse und wenigstens zwei elektrischen, jeweils eine Längsachse aufweisenden Kontaktelementen, die an einer Steckseite des Gehäuses an vorbestimmten Positionen und mit jeweiliger Längsachse parallel zu einer Steckrichtung des Steckverbinders ausgerichtet angeordnet sind, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a connector having a housing and at least two electrical, each having a longitudinal axis having contact elements, which are arranged at a plug side of the housing at predetermined positions and with respective longitudinal axis aligned parallel to a plug-in direction of the connector, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Zum Herstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen mehreren Kabelenden einerseits, die jeweils mit entsprechenden Kontaktelementen, wie beispielsweise Koaxialsteckverbindem, Stift- oder Buchsenkontakten, versehen sind, und mehreren Kabelenden mit entsprechenden komplementären Kontaktelementen, wie beispielsweise Koaxialstecker/-kuppler oder Buchsen-/Stiftkontakt, oder mehreren komplementären Kontaktelementen an einem Gehäuse eines Gerätes andererseits ist es bisher notwendig, jedes einzelnen Kontaktelement-Paar separat manuell zusammen zu stecken. Der Ausdruck "Kontaktelement" bezeichnet hierbei jede Art von Steckkontakt mit einem, zwei oder mehr Leitern, wie beispielsweise Koaxialsteckverbinder in Form von Koaxialstecker und Koaxialbuchse sowie Stiftkontakte und Buchsenkontakte. Mit "komplementäres Kontaktelement" oder "Gegenkontaktelement" wird der jeweils zugehörige Steckkontakt bezeichnet, in den das "Kontaktelement" einsteckbar ist, also beispielsweise ist für den Koaxialstecker als "Kontaktelement" der Koaxialkuppler das "komplementäre Kontaktelement" oder es ist für den Stiftkontakt als "Kontaktelement" der Buchsenkontakt das "komplementäre Kontaktelement". Mit "Steckverbinder" ist hierin ein Bauteil bezeichnet, welches zwei oder mehr "Kontaktelemente" aufweist und der "komplementäre Steckverbinder" weist die zu den "Kontaktelementen" des "Steckverbinders" die entsprechenden "komplementären Kontaktelement" auf. Die mehreren "Kontaktelemente" müssen nicht unbedingt alle gleich sein. Es können beispielsweise auch Koaxialsteckverbinder mit Stift-/Buchsenkontakten gemischt sein. Auch der Typ "Stift" oder "Buchse" muss nicht notwendigerweise für alle "Kontaktelemente" eines "Steckverbinders" identisch sein. Es können stattdessen auch Koaxialkuppler und Koaxialstecker in einem "Steckverbinder" gemischt sein.For establishing an electrical connection between a plurality of cable ends on the one hand, which are each provided with corresponding contact elements, such as Koaxialsteckverbindem, pin or socket contacts, and a plurality of cable ends with corresponding complementary contact elements, such as coaxial connector / connector or female / male contact, or more complementary contact elements on a housing of a device on the other hand, it has hitherto been necessary to manually plug each individual contact element pair together. The term "contact element" here refers to any type of plug contact with one, two or more conductors, such as coaxial connectors in the form of coaxial and coaxial jack and pin contacts and socket contacts. With "complementary contact element" or "mating contact element" of each corresponding plug contact is referred to, in which the "contact element" can be inserted, so for example is for the coaxial connector as "contact element" of the coaxial coupler, the "complementary contact element" or it is for the pin contact as a "contact element" of the socket contact the "complementary contact element". By "connector" herein is meant a component having two or more "contact elements", and the "complementary connector" has the corresponding "complementary contact elements" to the "contact elements" of the "connector". The several "contact elements" do not necessarily have to be the same. For example, coaxial connectors may also be mixed with pin / socket contacts. The type "pin" or "socket" does not necessarily have to be identical for all "contact elements" of a "connector". Instead, coaxial couplers and coaxial connectors may be mixed in a "connector".
Zum elektrischen Verbinden von beispielsweise einer Kfz-Dachantenne, die mehrere Antennen aufweist, beispielsweise eine Mobilfunkantenne und eine GPS-Antenne, mit entsprechenden Geräten, wie beispielsweise einem Mobilfunkgerät und einem GPS-Empfänger, ist es bisher üblich, aus dem Gehäuse der Kfz-Dachantenne Kabel herauszuführen, die an ihren freien Enden mit entsprechenden Kontaktelementen versehen sind. Diese Kontaktelemente werden dann separat und einzeln mit komplementären Kontaktelementen von zu den Geräten weiterführenden Kabeln verbunden. Diese Art der elektrischen Verbindung ist jedoch aufwändig und kostenintensiv. Dokument
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder der o.g. Art bzgl. Montage und elektrischem Kontakt zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to provide a connector of o.g. Improve type of assembly and electrical contact.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Steckverbinder der o.g. Art mit den in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a connector of o.g. Art solved with the features characterized in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the further claims.
Bei einem Steckverbinder der o.g. Art ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass jedes elektrische Kontaktelement in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Steckrichtung bewegbar in dem Gehäuse angeordnet ist und über wenigstens ein elektrisch isolierendes, elastisches Federelement mit wenigstens einem zweiten elektrischen Kontaktelement elastisch federnd verbunden ist, wobei das elastische Federelement derart angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass die elektrischen Kontaktelemente an der jeweiligen vorbestimmten Position bis auf Toleranzabweichungen vorpositioniert sind und von dieser Stelle in der Ebene senkrecht zur Steckrichtung elastisch federnd auslenkbar sind.In a connector of the aforementioned type, it is inventively provided that each electrical contact element is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction movable in the housing and is elastically resiliently connected via at least one electrically insulating, elastic spring element with at least one second electrical contact element, wherein the elastic spring element is arranged and designed such that the electrical contact elements are pre-positioned at the respective predetermined position to tolerance deviations and are elastically resiliently deflected from this point in the plane perpendicular to the insertion direction.

Gegenkontaktelementen in einem komplementären Steckverbinder, in dem die elektrischen komplementären Kontaktelementen bzw. Gegenkontaktelemente starr angeordnet sind, beim Zusammenstecken von Steckverbinder und komplementärem Steckverbinder durch elastische Auslenkung der elektrischen Kontaktelemente des Steckverbinders automatisch ausgeglichen werden und trotz toleranzbedingter Abweichungen der jeweiligen Positionen ein guter elektrischer Kontakt zwischen jeweiligen elektrischen Kontaktelementen von Steckverbinder und komplementärem Steckverbinder sichergestellt ist.This has the advantage that the contact elements are suspended elastically floating and thereby tolerance-related deviations between the positions of the electrical contact elements of the connector and corresponding electrical complementary contact elements or mating contact elements in a complementary connector in which the electrical complementary contact elements or mating contact elements are rigidly arranged, be automatically compensated during mating of connectors and complementary connector by elastic deflection of the electrical contact elements of the connector and despite tolerance-related deviations of the respective positions a good electrical contact between the respective electrical contact elements of connectors and complementary connector is ensured.
Um einen möglichst flexiblen Toleranzausgleich zur Verfügung zu stellen, sind die elektrischen Kontaktelemente in dem Gehäuse des Steckverbinders derart bewegbar angeordnet, dass die Bewegbarkeit der elektrischen Kontaktelemente in der Ebene senkrecht zur Steckrichtung ein Verkippen und/oder ein translatorisches Parallelverschieben der Längsachsen der elektrischen Kontaktelemente umfasst.In order to provide the most flexible possible tolerance compensation, the electrical contact elements in the housing of the connector are arranged movable so that the mobility of the electrical contact elements in the plane perpendicular to the direction of insertion includes tilting and / or a translational parallel displacement of the longitudinal axes of the electrical contact elements.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist jedes elektrische Kontaktelement von einer elektrisch isolierenden Hülse umgeben und ist jede Hülse eines elektrischen Kontaktelementes über ein jeweiliges elektrisch isolierendes, elastisches Federelement mit einer Hülse eines benachbarten elektrischen Kontaktelementes elastisch federnd verbunden, wobei die Federelemente in einer Querschnittsebene senkrecht zur Steckrichtung beispielsweise Ω-förmig und Hülsen und Federelemente miteinander einstückig zu einem Federgehäuse ausgebildet sind.Conveniently, each electrical contact element is surrounded by an electrically insulating sleeve and each sleeve of an electrical contact element via a respective electrically insulating elastic spring element with a sleeve of an adjacent electrical contact element elastically resiliently connected, wherein the spring elements in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the insertion direction, for example, Ω-shaped and sleeves and spring elements are integrally formed with each other to form a spring housing.
Am Gehäuse sind erste Rastmittel und an jedem Federelement zweite Rastmittel ausgebildet, die zusammenwirkend mit den ersten Rastmitteln die Federelemente und mit diesen die elektrischen Kontaktelemente am Gehäuse fixieren.On the housing first locking means and on each spring element second locking means are formed, which fix the spring elements cooperatively with the first locking means and with these the electrical contact elements on the housing.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst jedes erste Rastmittel eine elastisch federnde Lasche, die sich in Steckrichtung von dem Gehäuse erhebt und eine Ausnehmung aufweist, wobei jedes zweite Rastmittel eine Rastnase umfasst, die sich senkrecht zur Steckrichtung von dem jeweiligen Federelement erhebt und in die Ausnehmung der federnden Lasche des ersten Rastmittels passt.In a preferred embodiment, each first latching means comprises an elastically resilient tab which rises in the direction of insertion of the housing and has a recess, wherein each second latching means comprises a detent which rises perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the respective spring element and into the recess of the resilient Tab of the first locking means fits.
Eine mechanische Kodierung, die ein unerwünschtes falsches Einstecken des erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders verhindert, wird dadurch zur Verfügung gestellt, dass wenigstens eine der Laschen der ersten Rastmittel des Gehäuses eine andere Breite als die übrigen Laschen aufweist.A mechanical coding, which prevents unwanted incorrect insertion of the connector according to the invention is provided by the fact that at least one of the tabs of the first locking means of the housing has a different width than the other tabs.
Zum Haltern des Steckverbinders in eingestecktem Zustand erheben sich vom Gehäuse in Steckrichtung wenigstens zwei, insbesondere drei, voneinander beabstandete Rastzapfen mit jeweiliger Rastnase, die zum Einrasten in ein Gehäuse bzw. Steckinterface ausgebildet sind, welches zu den elektrischen Kontaktelementen des Steckverbinders komplementäre Kontaktelemente trägt.For holding the connector in the inserted state rise from the housing in the insertion direction at least two, in particular three, from each other spaced latching pin with respective latching lug, which are designed to engage in a housing or plug-in interface, which carries complementary to the electrical contact elements of the connector contact elements.
