Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Leiterplattenverbinder nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a printed circuit board connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Leiterplattenverbinder ist aus der DE 103 55 456 bekannt. Dieser Leiterplattenverbinder ist mittels Rastzapfen oder spezieller Böcke auf einer Leiterplatte verrastbar, wobei er im verrasteten Zustand mit Federkontakten Kontaktbereiche auf der Leiterplatte kontaktiert. Die Kontaktierung erfolgt derart mit nur einer einzigen Anschlussleiste. Eine weitere, leiterplattenseitige Stift- oder Buchsenleiste ist nicht erforderlich.A printed circuit board connector is made of DE 103 55 456 known. This printed circuit board connector can be latched by means of locking pins or special blocks on a printed circuit board, wherein it contacts contact areas on the printed circuit board in the latched state with spring contacts. The contacting takes place in such a way with only a single terminal block. Another, board-side pin or socket strip is not required.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Leiterplattenverbinder ist zudem aus der US 2006/0014417 bekannt. Die Befestigung an der Leiterplatte erfolgt mittels Schrauben.A generic printed circuit board connector is also made of US 2006/0014417 known. The attachment to the circuit board by means of screws.

Der gattungsgemäße Leiterplattenverbinder hat sich an sich bewährt. Er soll aber hinsichtlich der Art seiner Montage auf der Leiterplatte und insbesondere auch hinsichtlich der Möglichkeit einer Demontage von der Leiterplatte weiterentwickelt werden.The generic printed circuit board connector has proven itself. But he should be further developed in terms of the nature of its mounting on the circuit board and in particular with regard to the possibility of disassembly of the circuit board.

Die Lösung dieses Problems ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung.The solution to this problem is the object of the invention.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1.

Dabei durchgreift der Verriegelungsbolzen die Durchgangsöffnung vollständig, wobei er in der Verriegelungsstellung die Leiterplatte mit dem Verriegelungskopf auf der vom Gehäuse abgewandten Seite hintergreift.In this case, the locking bolt passes through the passage opening completely, wherein it engages in the locking position, the circuit board with the locking head on the side facing away from the housing.

Durch den Einsatz dieser Vorrichtungen ist es nach wie vor möglich, auf ein leiterplattenseitiges Gegenstück wie eine Stiftleiste oder eine lötbare Buchsenleiste zu verzichten und eine kostengünstige Kontaktierung der Kontaktpads an der Leiterplatte ohne ein Verlöten der Kontakte mit den Kontaktpads vorzunehmen. Die Kontaktierung geschieht schnell, einfach und sicher vorzugsweise mit einem Werkzeug wie einem Schraubendreher, mit dem die Verriegelungsbolzen vorzugsweise mit weniger als einer vollständigen Drehung festgelegt oder gelöst werden. Einen besonderen Vorteil bildet die gegebene Demontierbarkeit durch das Lösen der Verriegelung.Through the use of these devices, it is still possible to dispense with a circuit board side counterpart such as a pin header or a solderable female connector and make a cost-effective contacting of the contact pads on the circuit board without soldering the contacts with the contact pads. The contacting is done quickly, easily and safely, preferably with a tool such as a screwdriver, with which the locking bolts are preferably set or released with less than a complete rotation. A particular advantage is the given disassembly by releasing the lock.

Alternativ kann der Verriegelungsbolzen mit jeweils einer der Durchgangsöffnungen auch einen Bajonettverschluß ausbilden. Noch einfacher baut aber der Exzenterbolzen, der mit dem Verriegelungskopf die Leiterplatte in der Verriegelungsstellung hintergreift.Alternatively, the locking bolt with one of the through holes also form a bayonet closure. But even easier is the eccentric bolt, which engages behind the circuit board in the locking position with the locking head.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den übrigen Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous embodiments are specified in the remaining subclaims.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Leiterplatte 1, welche mit in einer Reihe angeordneten, voneinander beabstandeten Kontaktpads, insbesondere Lötpads 4a, 4b, ... versehen ist. Fig. 1 shows a circuit board 1, which is arranged with arranged in a row, spaced-apart contact pads, in particular solder pads 4a, 4b, ... is provided.

Seitlich neben den voneinander abgewandten Enden der Reihe 3 aus den Lötpads 4a, ... sind hier jeweils beispielhaft nebeneinander ein größeres erstes Durchgangsloch 5a, 5b und eine Öffnung, hier ein zweites kleineres Durchgangsloch 6a, 6b, durch die Leiterplatte 1 ausgebildet.On the side next to the mutually remote ends of the row 3 of the soldering pads 4a, ... Here are each an example next to each other a larger first through hole 5a, 5b and an opening, here a second smaller through hole 6a, 6b, formed by the circuit board 1.

Zur Kontaktierung der Lötpads 4a, ... der Leiterplatte 1 dient ein Leiterplattenverbinder 7. Dieser Leiterplattenverbinder 7 ist als Anschlussleiste mit einem länglichen Gehäuse 8 ausgebildet, welches mit in einer Reihe angeordneten Anschlusskammern 9a, b, c, ... in einem Raster versehen ist, das dem Raster der Lötpads 4 auf der Leiterplatte entspricht.For contacting the solder pads 4a, ... the circuit board 1 is a circuit board connector 7. This PCB connector 7 is designed as a terminal block with an elongated housing 8, which is arranged in a row with terminal chambers 9a, b, c, ... in a grid is that corresponds to the grid of solder pads 4 on the circuit board.

Die Anschlusskammern 9 sind mit Anschlüssen zum Anschluss externer Leiter (beides hier nicht dargestellt, siehe den eingangs genannten Stand der Technik) versehen. Diese Anschlüsse können an sich in beliebiger Anschlusstechnik wie Druckfeder, Zugfeder, Schraubanschlüsse, IDC-Kontakte- usw. ausgebildet sein, wobei es sich anbietet, die Anschlüsse als Druckfederkontakte in Direktstecktechnik (Push-In) auszulegen, welche vorzugsweise in metallenen Klemmkäfigen angeordnet sind (hier nicht dargestellt).The connection chambers 9 are provided with connections for connecting external conductors (both not shown here, see the cited prior art). These connections can be designed per se in any connection technology such as compression spring, tension spring, screw connections, IDC contacts, etc., it being advisable to design the connections as compression spring contacts in direct plug-in technology (push-in), which are preferably arranged in metal clamping cages ( not shown here).

Die Anschlusskammern 9 sind an der im montierten Zustand von der Leiterplatte 1 abgewandten Seite des Gehäuses 8 und auch zur Leiterplatte 1 hin offen ausgebildet.The connection chambers 9 are formed open on the side facing away from the printed circuit board 1 in the mounted state of the housing 8 and also to the printed circuit board 1.

Aus der Anschlussleiste bzw. deren Gehäuse 8 stehen an der zur Leiterplatte gewandten Seite Federkontakte (Kontaktzungen) 10a, b, c, ... vor, die vorzugsweise direkt an die Anschlüsse in den Anschlusskammern angeformt sind und die derart voneinander beabstandet sind, dass sie im montierten Zustand die Lötpads 4a, ... kontaktieren.From the terminal block or the housing 8 are on the side facing the circuit board spring contacts (reeds) 10 a, b, c, ... before, preferably directly to the terminals are formed in the connection chambers and which are spaced apart from each other so that they contact the soldering pads 4a, ... in the assembled state.

Es könnten auch mehrere Reihen von Lötpads 4a, ... und/oder Kontakten 10a,... vorgesehen sein (hier nicht dargestellt).Several rows of soldering pads 4a, ... and / or contacts 10a, ... could also be provided (not shown here).

Seitlich neben den Enden der Reihe aus den federnden Kontakten 8a,... ist am Gehäuse einerseits jeweils ein Positionierungsstift 11 ausgebildet, der zur Leiterplatte 1 hin vom Gehäuse 8 vorsteht und in das hier kleinere Durchgangsloch 6a bzw. 6b eingreift und die Anschlussleiste ergänzend abstützt.On the side of the housing, on the one hand, a positioning pin 11 is formed laterally next to the ends of the row of resilient contacts 8a, 8b projects toward the printed circuit board 1 from the housing 8 and engages in the smaller through hole 6a or 6b and supports the terminal block in addition ,

Seitlich neben den Enden der Reihe aus den federnden Kontakten 8a,... ist am Gehäuse 8 ferner jeweils ein am Gehäuse um seine Längsachse L drehbar drehbarer Verriegelungsbolzen 12 angeordnet, der eine Durchgangsöffnung 13 im Gehäuse 8 durchgreift und zum Verriegeln des Leiterplattenverbinders 1 an der Leiterplatte ausgebildet ist.On the side of the housing 8, in addition to the ends of the row of resilient contacts 8a, there is arranged in each case a locking bolt 12 rotatable on the housing about its longitudinal axis L. The locking bolt 12 engages through a passage opening 13 in the housing 8 and locks the printed circuit board connector 1 to the housing Printed circuit board is formed.

Hier ist der Verriegelungsbolzen 12 in vorteilhafter Weise als Exzenterbolzen ausgebildet, der ausgehend von einem zylindrischen Abschnitt, welcher die Durchgangsöffnung 13 durchsetzt und dessen Längsachse L die Drehachse des Verriegelungsbolzens 12 bildet, einen kurbelzapfenartigen, exzentrisch zur Drehachse in richtung der Leiterplatte vorstehenden Zapfenabschnitt 14 aufweist, an den ein Verriegelungskopf 15 angeformt oder angesetzt ist, der sich derart an den Zapfenabschnitt 14 anschließt und der derart bemessen und ausgelegt ist, dass er durch das Durchgangsloch 13 durchsteckbar ist und dann durch eine Drehbewegung von weniger als 360° in einer Verriegelungsstellung bringbar ist, in welcher er die vom Leiterplattenverbinder 7 abgewandte Seite 2 der Leiterplatte 1 hintergreift. Die Kontaktkraft kann nun den Leiterplattenverbinder 7 nicht mehr anheben. Ein Lösen des Leiterplattenverbinders 7 geschieht durch Zurückdrehen der Exenterbolzen 12.Here, the locking bolt 12 is advantageously formed as an eccentric bolt, which, starting from a cylindrical portion which passes through the through hole 13 and the longitudinal axis L forms the axis of rotation of the locking bolt 12, a crank pin-like, eccentric to the axis of rotation in the direction of the circuit board protruding pin portion 14, on which a locking head 15 is formed or attached, which thus adjoins the journal portion 14 and which is dimensioned and designed such that it can be pushed through the through hole 13 and then brought by a rotational movement of less than 360 ° in a locking position, in which he engages behind the remote from the PCB connector 7 side 2 of the circuit board 1. The contact force can not lift the PCB connector 7 now. A loosening of the PCB connector 7 is done by turning back the eccentric pin 12th

Durch die Positionierungsstifte 11 kann der Leiterplattenverbinder 7 bzw. kann die Klemme beim Drehen der Exenterbolzen nicht verrutschen und gleichzeitig kann hierüber ein Fehlstecken verhindert werden.Due to the positioning pins 11, the printed circuit board connector 7 or the terminal can not slip when turning the eccentric pin and at the same time a miscarriage can be prevented.

Beim Aufsetzen der Klemme auf die Leiterplatte 1 kann sowohl die Federkraft der Kontakte durch Andrücken der Klemme per Hand erfolgen, es ist aber auch eine Lösung denkbar, bei der dieses durch geeignete Schrägen am Exenterkopf geschieht. Z.B. dann erfolgt eine kombinierte Dreh- und Hebe-Bewegung bei der Exenterbetätigung. So kann der Verriegelungskopf 15 z.B. mit einer Anschrägung im Unfangsrichtung versehen werden, damit ein Verklemmen des Verriegelungskopfes 15 an der Unterseite erfolgt (nicht dargestellt). Eine konische Form der Verriegelungsköpfe 15 erleichtert das Einführen in die Durchgangslöcher 5.When placing the terminal on the circuit board 1, both the spring force of the contacts by pressing the terminal by hand, but it is also a solution conceivable in which this is done by suitable slopes on the Exenterkopf. For example, Then there is a combined rotation and lifting movement in the Exenterbetätigung. Thus, the locking head 15 may be e.g. be provided with a bevel in the circumferential direction, so that jamming of the locking head 15 takes place at the bottom (not shown). A conical shape of the locking heads 15 facilitates insertion into the through-holes 5.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Verriegelungsbolzen 12 eine Ansatzkontur 16 zum Ansetzen eines Betätigungswerkzeuges, insbesondere eines Schraubendrehers, auf.The locking bolts 12 preferably have a shoulder contour 16 for attaching an actuating tool, in particular a screwdriver.
