Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an arrangement according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine solche Anordnung geht aus der DE 41 32 407 A1 hervor.Such an arrangement goes out of the DE 41 32 407 A1 out.

Eine derartige Anordnung kann beispielsweise zum gemeinsamen Anschluß von mindestens zwei Leitern eines Kabelsatzes für elektrische Geräte und Kraftfahrzeuge an ein gemeinsames Potential, wie beispielsweise "Masse", eingesetzt werden. Ein solcher Anschluß erfolgt in der Regel über einen elektrischen Leiter, der zusammen mit anderen Leitern in einem Halter angeordnet ist. Für die Verbindung aller Leiter ist in bekannter Technik in einem aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden Gehäuse ein metallisches Stanzgitter mit Vorsprüngen angebracht, auf welche die Steckkontakte aller Leiter aufgesteckt werden können. Unterschiedliche elektrisch leitende Querschnitte der jeweiligen Leiter und der einen relativ großen Querschnitt aufweisende, zum gemeinsamen Potential führenden Leiter können dabei zu Problemen führen, weil das Stanzgitter einschließlich seiner als Gegenkontakte dienenden Vorsprünge gleichbleibende Abmessungen und damit einen gleichbleibenden elektrisch leitenden Querschnitt hat.Such an arrangement can be used, for example, for common connection of at least two conductors of a harness for electrical equipment and motor vehicles to a common potential, such as "ground". Such a connection is usually via an electrical conductor, which is arranged together with other conductors in a holder. For the connection of all conductors, a metallic stamped grid with projections is mounted in known technology in an existing housing made of insulating material, on which the plug contacts of all conductors can be plugged. Different electrically conductive cross-sections of the respective conductors and a conductor having a relatively large cross-section leading to the common potential can lead to problems because the stamped grid, including its projections serving as mating contacts, has constant dimensions and thus a constant electrically conductive cross section.

Die DE 44 41 727 A1 beschreibt einen Verbindungsstecker mit einem Steckergehäuse, in dem in zwei übereinander liegenden Ebenen Aufnahmekammern zum Einstecken von elektrischen Steckern angebracht sind. Die oben liegenden Aufnahmekammern haben größere Abmessungen als die unten liegenden. Es können in Abhängigkeit von der Stromstärke entsprechend bemessene Stecker unterschiedlicher Größe in die Aufnahmekammern eingesteckt werden.The DE 44 41 727 A1 describes a connector with a connector housing in which receiving chambers for inserting electrical connectors are mounted in two superposed planes. The overhead storage chambers have larger dimensions than the ones below. Depending on the current, appropriately sized plugs of different sizes can be plugged into the receiving chambers.

Die bekannte Anordnung nach der US 2007/0202753 A1 besteht aus einem Verbinder, in dem in einem ersten Halter eine Anzahl von Steckbuchsen und in einem zweiten Halter eine entsprechende Anzahl von Steckerstiften vorgesehen sind. Beide Halter sind in Arbeitsposition in einem Gehäuse aufgenommen. Der zweite Halter ist als Platine mit Leiterbahnen ausgeführt, mit denen die Steckerstifte elektrisch leitend verbunden sind. Die Steckerstifte sind nach einem vorgegebenen Muster in unterschiedlicher Anzahl durch jeweils voneinander getrennte Leiterbahnen elektrisch leitend miteinander verbunden.The known arrangement according to the US 2007/0202753 A1 consists of a connector in which a number of sockets are provided in a first holder and a corresponding number of connector pins in a second holder. Both holders are housed in working position in a housing. The second holder is designed as a circuit board with conductor tracks, with which the connector pins are electrically connected. The plug pins are electrically conductively connected to each other according to a predetermined pattern in different numbers by each separate interconnects.

Aus der eingangs erwähnten DE 41 32 407 A1 geht ein Sammelanschluß für elektrische Verteileranlagen hervor, der eine Vielzahl von Anschlußklemmen gleichen Potentials aufweist, die alle mechanisch und elektrisch mit einer Sammelschiene verbunden sind. Die Anschlußklemmen haben zum Teil einen kleineren Anschlußquerschnitt und zum Teil einen größeren Anschlußquerschnitt. Sie sind zum Anschluß entsprechender elektrischer Leiter mit unterschiedlicher Strombelastung geeignet.From the above-mentioned DE 41 32 407 A1 shows a hunt group for electrical distribution systems, which has a plurality of terminals of the same potential, which are all mechanically and electrically connected to a busbar. The terminals have in part a smaller connection cross-section and in part a larger connection cross-section. They are suitable for connecting corresponding electrical conductors with different current load.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs geschilderte Anordnung so zu gestalten, daß ein einfacher Anschluß der Leiter an ein gemeinsames Potential möglich ist.The invention has for its object to make the initially described arrangement so that a simple connection of the conductor to a common potential is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch den Einsatz der mit Steckerstiften bestückten, mit einer Leiterbahn versehenen Platine, wird die elektrische Verbindung der Leiter mit einem gemeinsamen Potential wesentlich vereinfacht. Die Steckerstifte können als elektrische Einpreßkontakte an jeder gewünschten Stelle und mit jeder gegebenen Querschnittsgröße in die flächenmäßig entsprechend gestaltete Leiterbahn der Platine eingedrückt werden. Die Anordnung ist dadurch problemlos an die elektrisch leitenden Querschnitte der anzuschließenden Leiter bzw. an deren Steckkontakte anzupassen. Dieser Vorteil der Platine und ihrer Leiterbahn wird bei dieser Anordnung besonders wirksam ausgenutzt, weil der für die Verbindung mit dem gemeinsamen Potential vorgesehene Leiter mit im Vergleich zu den anderen Leitern wesentlich größerem elektrisch leitendem Querschnitt ebenso wie die anderen Leiter auf einen entsprechend größer dimensionierten, in der Platine vorhandenen Steckerstift aufgesteckt werden kann.Through the use of equipped with connector pins, provided with a conductor board, the electrical connection of the conductor is greatly simplified with a common potential. The pins can be pressed as electrical press-in contacts at any desired location and with any given cross-sectional size in the area correspondingly designed trace of the board. The arrangement is thereby easily adapted to the electrically conductive cross sections of the conductors to be connected or to their plug contacts. This advantage of the board and its trace is used particularly effectively in this arrangement, because of the intended for connection to the common potential conductor with compared to the other conductors much larger electrically conductive cross section as well as the other head on a correspondingly larger sized, can be plugged in the board existing pin.

Bei der Ausführungsform der Anordnung nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 gehören zu dem aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden Verbinder ein Halter 1 und ein denselben in Arbeitsposition aufnehmendes Gehäuse 2. Der Halter 1 dient zur Aufnahme von gegeneinander isolierten Steckkontakten 3, die an den abisolierten Enden von isolierten elektrischen Leitern 4 und 5 angebracht sind. Die Steckkontakte 3 sind dabei jeweils an den Querschnitt der Leiter 4 und 5 angepaßt. Der Halter 1 weist in bekannter Technik parallel zueinander verlaufende, der Einfachheit halber nicht mit dargestellte Durchgangslöcher auf, in denen die einzelnen Steckkontakte 3 festgesetzt werden können. Die Leiter 4 sollen mit einem gemeinsamen Potential verbunden werden, und zwar mittels des ebenfalls mit einem Steckkontakt 3 ausgerüsteten Leiters 5. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind fünf Leiter 4 eingezeichnet, die alle einen elektrisch leitenden Querschnitt von beispielsweise 0,75 mm2, aber auch unterschiedliche Querschnitte haben können. Der Leiter 5 hat beispielsweise einen leitenden Querschnitt von 2,5 mm2. Es können auch weniger oder mehr als fünf Leiter 4 mit daran angebrachten Steckkontakten 3 in einem Halter 1 untergebracht sein.In the embodiment of the arrangement according to the Fig. 1 to 3 The holder 1 is used to receive mutually insulated plug contacts 3, which are attached to the stripped ends of insulated electrical conductors 4 and 5 are connected to the insulating material consisting of a connector holder 1 and the same in working position. The plug contacts 3 are in each case adapted to the cross section of the conductors 4 and 5. The holder 1 has in a known technique parallel to each other, for simplicity not shown through holes in which the individual plug contacts 3 can be fixed. The conductors 4 are to be connected to a common potential, by means of the likewise equipped with a plug contact 3 conductor 5. In the illustrated embodiment, five conductors 4 are shown, all an electrically conductive cross-section of, for example, 0.75 mm 2 , but also different Can have cross sections. The conductor 5 has, for example, a conductive cross section of 2.5 mm 2 . It may also be less than or more than five conductors 4 with attached plug contacts 3 housed in a holder 1.

Zur Aufnahme des fertig mit Steckkontakten 3 und angeschlossenen Leitern 4 und 5 bestückten Halters 1 dient in Arbeitsposition - wie schon erwähnt - das Gehäuse 2. In dem Gehäuse 2 ist eine Platine 6 angeordnet, welche eine Leiterbahn 7 aufweist. Die Leiterbahn 7 ist bei dieser Anordnung eine Leiterfläche, welche nahezu die ganze Fläche der Platine 6 einnimmt. Die Leiterfläche kann wahlweise auf einer der beiden Oberflächen der Platine 6, aber auch als Zwischenschicht in derselben angeordnet sein. Der Einfachheit halber wird im folgenden weiter das Wort "Leiterbahn" verwendet. In die Leiterbahn 7 der Platine 6 sind als Einpreßkontakte ausgeführte Steckerstifte 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 und 13 eingedrückt, die als Gegenkontakte zum Aufstecken der Steckkontakte 3 dienen.To accommodate the assembled with plug contacts 3 and connected conductors 4 and 5 holder 1 is used in working position - as already mentioned - the housing 2. In the housing 2, a circuit board 6 is arranged, which has a conductor track 7. The conductor 7 is in this arrangement, a conductor surface which occupies almost the entire surface of the board 6. The conductor surface can optionally be arranged on one of the two surfaces of the board 6, but also as an intermediate layer in the same. For the sake of simplicity, the word "trace" will be further used in the following. In the track 7 of the board 6 are designed as press-fitting pins 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are pressed, which serve as mating contacts for attaching the plug contacts 3.

Dabei werden Steckerstifte eingesetzt, deren Querschnitt dem elektrisch leitenden Querschnitt der anzuschließenden Leiter 4 und 5 bzw. an deren Steckkontakte 3 angepaßt ist. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 haben die dem Anschluß der Leiter 4 dienenden Steckerstifte 9 bis 13 alle einen gleichen Querschnitt, während der Steckerstift 8 zum Anschluß des Leiters 5 einen größeren Querschnitt hat. Die Querschnitte der Steckerstifte 9 bis 13 könnten, zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Querschnitte der Leiter 4 bzw. an deren Steckkontakte 3, auch unterschiedlich sein.In this case, plug pins are used whose cross section is adapted to the electrically conductive cross section of the conductors 4 and 5 to be connected or to their plug contacts 3. In the illustrated embodiment according to Fig. 2 have the connection of the conductor 4 serving pins 9 to 13 all have a same cross-section, while the pin 8 for connection of the conductor 5 has a larger cross-section. The cross sections of the plug pins 9 to 13 could also be different for adaptation to different cross sections of the conductors 4 or to their plug contacts 3.

Der Verbinder kann in einer gegenüber Fig. 1 anderen Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 auch als einteiliger Träger 17 ausgeführt sein, der zur gleichzeitigen Fixierung der mit Steckerstiften bestückten Platine 6 und der Steckkontakte 3 mit angeschlossenen Leitern 4 und 5 dient. Der Funktionsumfang von Halter 1 zur Aufnahme von gegeneinander isolierten Steckkontakten 3 und deren nötiger Festsitz sowie von Gehäuse 2 mit darin befindlicher Platine 6 wird dabei uneingeschränkt durch den Träger 17 gewährleistet. Material und Montageaufwand sind bei dieser Ausführungsform des Verbinders reduziert.The connector may be in a opposite Fig. 1 another embodiment according to Fig. 3 be designed as a one-piece support 17, which is used for simultaneous fixation of the assembled with plug pins board 6 and the plug contacts 3 with connected conductors 4 and 5. The range of functions of holder 1 for receiving mutually insulated plug contacts 3 and their necessary interference fit and housing 2 with therein board 6 is thereby ensured unrestricted by the carrier 17. Material and assembly costs are reduced in this embodiment of the connector.

In einer weiteren Abwandlung der Anordnung kann gemäß Fig. 4 beispielsweise der Steckerstift 8 entgegen zur Abgangsrichtung der Steckerstifte 9 bis 13 verlaufen. Die Ausrichtung des Leiters 5, der zur Verbindung mit dem gemeinsamen Potential dient, und die der anzuschließenden Leiter 4 ist damit voneinander getrennt. Der Halter 1 bzw. der Träger 17 brauchen dann auf der entsprechenden Seite nur die Steckkontakte 3 mit den angeschlossenen Leitern 4 aufzunehmen.In a further modification of the arrangement can according to Fig. 4 For example, the pin 8 against the outgoing direction of the pins 9 to 13 run. The orientation of the conductor 5, which serves to connect to the common potential, and that of the conductor 4 to be connected is thus separated from each other. The holder 1 and the carrier 17 then need to record only the plug contacts 3 with the connected conductors 4 on the corresponding side.

In ähnlichem Sinne können in der Platine 6 zusätzlich zwei oder mehr Steckerstifte mit geänderter Orientierung angebracht werden. Es können dadurch ein besserer Leitungsverlauf in einem Kabelsatz sowie eine bessere Raumausnutzung erreicht werden.In a similar sense, two or more connector pins with changed orientation can be additionally mounted in the board 6. It can be achieved by a better wiring in a harness and better space utilization.

Wenn die Anordnung nach der Erfindung im Zusammenhang mit Kabelsätzen von elektrischen Geräten, insbesondere von Kraftfahrzeugen, eingesetzt wird, kann sie beispielsweise auf zwei Kabelsätze aufgeteilt werden, so wie es in Fig. 5 schematisch dargestellt ist.When the arrangement according to the invention is used in connection with cable harnesses of electrical appliances, in particular of motor vehicles, it can be divided, for example, into two sets of cables, as shown in FIG Fig. 5 is shown schematically.

Die anhand der Fig. 1 und 4 beschriebenen Einzelteile der Anordnung sind hier beispielsweise Bestandteil von zwei unterschiedlichen Kabelsätzen 18 und 19. Das Gehäuse 2 mit Platine 6 gehört dann beispielsweise zu einem der Versorgung dienenden Kabelsatz 19. Dieser hat die Aufgabe, dem Kabelsatz 18 das entsprechend erforderliche Potential zur Verfügung zu stellen. Halter 1 und die darin geführten Steckkontakte 3 mit angeschlossenen Leitern 4 sind Teile des Kabelsatzes 18. In Arbeitsposition erfolgt durch die Steckkontakte 3 der Leiter 4 der Anschluß an die Steckerstifte 9 bis 13 und damit an das vom Kabelsatz 19 zur Verfügung gestellte Potential.The basis of the Fig. 1 and 4 Parts of the arrangement described here are for example part of two different cable sets 18 and 19. The housing 2 with board 6 then belongs, for example, to a supply serving cable set 19. This has the task of the harness 18 to provide the corresponding required potential. Holder 1 and guided therein plug contacts 3 with connected conductors 4 are parts of the cable set 18. In working position carried by the plug contacts 3 of the conductor 4, the connection to the pins 9 to 13 and thus to the cable set 19 made available potential.
