Solche Steckverbinder werden auf Leiterplatten montiert und dienen der elektrisch geschirmten Übertragung elektrischer Signale.Such connectors are mounted on printed circuit boards and serve the electrically shielded transmission of electrical signals.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der DE 20 2006 015 908 U1 ist ein D-Sub-Steckverbinder mit einem Grundelement, einem Abschirmelement sowie mindestens einem Seitenelement und mindestens einem Montageelement bekannt. Das Montageelement dient zur Befestigung des Steckverbinders an einem Gehäuse und/oder zur Befestigung eines korrespondierenden Steckverbinders. Das Seitenelement enthält zumindest ein Fixierelement, das im montierten Zustand des Steckverbinders das Montageelement fixiert.From the DE 20 2006 015 908 U1 is a D-sub connector with a base member, a shielding and at least one side member and at least one mounting member known. The mounting member is used to attach the connector to a housing and / or for attachment of a corresponding connector. The side member includes at least one fixing element which fixes the mounting member in the assembled state of the connector.

Weiterhin wird offenbart, dass das Seitenelement wenigstens eine Kontaktfeder enthält, die im montierten Zustand des Seitenelements in einer Kontaktfeder-Ausnehmung im Grundelement positioniert ist. Das Seitenelement einschließlich der Kontaktfeder ist elektrisch leitend, wobei die Kontaktfeder im montierten Zustand das Abschirmelement kontaktiert.
Weiterhin wird offenbart, dass das Seitenelement einen Lötanschluss zur Verlötung mit einer Leiterplatte aufweist. Das Abschirmelement weist vorzugsweise eine Lasche auf, welche im montierten Zustand in eine im Grundelement vorgesehene Laschen-Ausnehmung eingreift. Bei der Montage wird die Lasche in der Laschen-Ausnehmung umgebogen, wodurch das Abschirmelement mit dem Grundelement kraftschlüssig verbunden wird.Furthermore, it is disclosed that the side element contains at least one contact spring, which is positioned in the assembled state of the side member in a contact spring recess in the base member. The side element including the contact spring is electrically conductive, wherein the contact spring contacted in the mounted state, the shielding.

Derartige Steckverbinder bestehen aus relativ vielen verschiedenen Bauteilen und sind in ihrer Herstellung aufwendig zu montieren.Such connectors consist of relatively many different components and are expensive to assemble in their preparation.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder, insbesondere einen D-Sub-Steckverbinder, anzugeben, der aus möglichst wenig verschiedenen Bauteilen mit möglichst geringem Aufwand maschinell zu fertigen ist, und der dennoch eine ausreichende Schirmung gegen störende elektrische Felder aufweist.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a connector, in particular a D-sub connector, which is to be machined from as little as possible different components with the least possible effort, and yet has sufficient shielding against disturbing electric fields.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass in der Montagefläche um jede der beiden Öffnungen jeweils eine Ausnehmung angeordnet ist, wobei diese Ausnehmung an ihrer Innenseite einen Kragen aufweist, und
dass die Befestigungselemente jeweils ein Fenster, gebildet aus einem Rahmen aufweisen, wobei der Rahmen dafür vorgesehen ist, formschlüssig in die jeweilige Ausnehmung eingefügt zu werden.This object is achieved in that a recess is arranged in each case in the mounting surface around each of the two openings, wherein this recess has a collar on its inside, and
in that the fastening elements each have a window, formed from a frame, wherein the frame is intended to be positively inserted into the respective recess.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Unteransprüchen 2-6 gekennzeichnet.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the dependent subclaims 2-6.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass ein erfindungsgemäßer Steckverbinder maschinell zusammengesetzt werden kann. Ein solcher Steckverbinder ist mit nur geringem Aufwand herzustellen, da er vorteilhafterweise nur aus drei verschiedenen Bauteilen besteht, wodurch sich weiterhin die Herstellung der für den Steckverbinder benötigten Bauteile vereinfacht.A significant advantage of the invention is that a connector according to the invention can be assembled by machine. Such a connector is to produce with little effort, since it advantageously consists only of three different components, which further simplifies the production of the components required for the connector.

Dabei weist der Steckverbinder einen rechteckigen, aus einem isolierenden Material gefertigten Grundkörper mit zwei Seitenflächen und zwei Stirnflächen auf. In den Stirnflächen sind zusätzliche Ausnehmungen angeordnet, die zum lückenlosen Einfügen jeweils eines Befestigungselements vorgesehen sind.In this case, the connector has a rectangular, made of an insulating material base body with two side surfaces and two end faces. In the end faces additional recesses are arranged, which are provided for seamless insertion of a respective fastener.

Das Befestigungselement ist als Stanzbiegeteil geformt und weist ein Fenster, gebildet aus einem Rahmen auf.The fastener is formed as a stamped and bent part and has a window formed from a frame.

Weiterhin ist ein Teil des Befestigungselements als eine U-förmige Haltevorrichtung ausgebildet. Diese Haltevorrichtung dient einerseits zum Einfügen des Befestigungselements in die dazugehörige zusätzliche Ausnehmung der entsprechenden Stirnfläche. Zum anderen weist die Haltevorrichtung an ihren beiden Enden zwei von der Haltevorrichtung abgewinkelte Arme auf. Diese beiden Arme liegen an einer der Montagefläche entgegengesetzten Seite des Grundkörpers an.Furthermore, a part of the fastening element is designed as a U-shaped holding device. This holding device serves on the one hand for inserting the fastening element into the associated additional recess of the corresponding end face. On the other hand, the holding device has at its two ends two arms angled away from the holding device. These two arms abut against one of the mounting surface opposite side of the body.

Zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit einem Massekontakt einer Leiterplatte kann an der Haltevorrichtung ein Grundzapfen angeformt sein.For electrical contacting with a ground contact of a printed circuit board, a base pin may be integrally formed on the holding device.

Ein für die Abschirmung des Steckverbinders erforderliches Abschirmelement, das den Grundkörper weitgehend umfasst, weist einen umlaufenden Flansch auf. An den Längsseiten dieses Flansches sind Laschen angeformt.A required for the shielding of the connector shielding, which largely comprises the body, has a circumferential flange. On the longitudinal sides of this flange tabs are formed.

Diese Laschen sind einerseits dafür vorgesehen, das Abschirmelement mit dem Befestigungselement durch Umbiegen dieser Laschen kraftschlüssig zu verbinden. Andererseits sind die Laschen auch dafür vorgesehen, im umgebogenen Zustand eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen dem Abschirmelement und dem Befestigungselement herzustellen.These tabs are on the one hand intended to connect the shielding to the fastener by bending these tabs non-positively. On the other hand, the tabs are also intended to produce an electrically conductive connection between the shielding element and the fastening element in the bent state.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Steckverbinder trotz der einfachen Herstellungsart insbesondere im eingebauten Zustand ein hohes Maß an Stabilität gegen Zug-, Druck- und Drehkräfte aufweist.Another advantage of the invention is that the connector despite the simple production, especially when installed has a high degree of stability against tensile, compressive and rotational forces.

Weiterhin wird beim Montieren des Steckverbinders auf der Leiterplatte eine präzise Komplanarität an der Unterseite des Grundkörpers vorgesehener elektrischer Kontakte hergestellt. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die elektrischen Kontakte zunächst nicht vollständig in den Grundkörper eingeschoben sind und erst bei der Montage auf der Leiterplatte im jeweils notwendigen Maß in den Grundkörper eingeschoben werden. Dies ist insbesondere für eine Verlötung des Steckverbinders auf einer SMT-Leiterplatte von großer Bedeutung. Bei dieser Technik wird aus mechanischen Gründen auf den Grundzapfen zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit einem Massekontakt einer Leiterplatte verzichtet.Furthermore, a precise Komplanarität on the underside of the main body provided electrical contacts is made when mounting the connector on the circuit board. This is achieved in that the electrical contacts are initially not fully inserted into the body and are inserted only during assembly on the circuit board in each necessary degree in the body. This is particularly important for a soldering of the connector on an SMT circuit board of great importance. In this technique is omitted for mechanical reasons on the main pin for electrical contact with a ground contact of a circuit board.

Furthermore, the fastening elements 3 each have a U-shaped holding device 33 and two arms 34 angled therefrom for attaching the fastening elements 3 to the base body 2.

Am unteren Rand des Fensters 31 ist eine Rille 35 vorgesehen. Mittels dieser Rille 35 ist eine Biegekante zum Umbiegen des Befestigungselements 3 vorgegeben, so dass der Rahmen 32 des an den Grundkörper 2 angefügten Befestigungselements 3 durch ein solches Umbiegen formschlüssig in die dazugehörige Ausnehmung 23 einfügbar ist. So kann das Befestigungselement 3 mittels der U-förmigen Haltevorrichtung 33, durch seinen Rahmen 32 und durch die Arme 34 an dem Grundkörper 2 fixiert werden.At the bottom of the window 31, a groove 35 is provided. By means of this groove 35, a bending edge for bending the fastening element 3 is predetermined, so that the frame 32 of the attached to the base body 2 fastener 3 is positively inserted by such bending in the associated recess 23.
