Aufgabenstellungtask

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder vorzustellen, der für die Übertragung von hochfrequenten Signalen geeignet ist, wobei mehrere elektrische Leiter, jeweils paarweise, in einer von mehreren abschirmenden Kammern eines Steckverbindergehäuses, anzuordnen sind. Wobei eine Variante als gewinkelte Version wie auch eine gerade ausgeführte Version für eine Leiterplattenmontage vorzusehen ist.The invention is therefore based on the object to present a connector which is suitable for the transmission of high-frequency signals, wherein a plurality of electrical conductors, in pairs, in one of several shielding chambers of a connector housing to arrange. Where a variant is to be provided as angled version as well as a currently running version for a circuit board assembly.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the characterizing features of independent claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Bei der Erfindung handelt es sich um einen Rundsteckverbinder, der vier differenziell ausgebildete Signalleitungen in vier voneinander getrennten Kammern für eine optimale Abschirmung der vier differenziellen Signalleitungen aufnimmt.The invention relates to a circular connector which receives four differentially formed signal lines in four separate chambers for optimum shielding of the four differential signal lines.

Dabei ist vorteilhaft eine kreuzförmige Längsstruktur des Rundsteckverbinders vorgesehen, in deren jeweiligen Segmenten jeweils eine differenzielle Signalleitung - also je zwei Einzelleiter - eingebracht sind.
Dazu ist ein Kontaktträger vorgesehen, bestehend aus einem isolierenden Material, als Träger für elektrische Kontakte vorgesehen und das Schirmkreuz umfassend, in der Form, dass der Kontaktträger direkt um das Schirmkreuz herum aufgespritzt wird, auf das Schirmkreuz aufschiebbar oder mehrteilig darauf verrastbar ist.
In this case, a cross-shaped longitudinal structure of the circular connector is advantageously provided, in each of whose segments a differential signal line - ie two individual conductors - are introduced.
For this purpose, a contact carrier is provided, consisting of an insulating material, provided as a support for electrical contacts and the shield cross comprising, in the form that the contact carrier is sprayed directly around the screen cross around, slidable on the screen cross or multi-part can be latched thereto.

Hier werden insgesamt acht elektrische Kontakte, entweder mit einer Buchse oder einem Stift auf ihrer Steckseite versehen, in entsprechende Aufnahmerillen vorteilhaft in den Eckbereichen des kreuzförmigen Kontaktträgers eingefügt.
Für eine Leiterplattenmontage sind die Anschlussenden um etwa 90° abgewinkelt, wobei sich unterschiedliche Längen der Kontakte ergeben, um ein kreisförmiges Anschlussgebilde auf der Leiterplatte zu erzielen.
Auf diese Anordnung wird ein isolierender Rundkörper aufgeschoben, der in seinem Steckbereich vier Teilkreissegmente aufweist, in denen jeweils zwei der elektrischen Kontakte untergebracht sind.
Damit ist vorteilhaft ein lückenlos abgeschirmter Signaltransfer möglich, zumal der isolierende Rundkörper stets von einem metallisch leitenden Gehäuse in Form eines Frontplatteneinsatzes für einen Gegenstecker oder gar eines kompletten, die Leiterplatte umgebenden elektrisch leitenden Gehäuses, innerhalb dessen der interne Steckverbinder mit einem von außen zugeführten Gegenstecker verbindbar ist.
Here are a total of eight electrical contacts, either provided with a socket or a pin on its mating side, advantageously inserted into corresponding receiving grooves in the corner regions of the cross-shaped contact carrier.
For PCB mounting, the terminal ends are angled at approximately 90 °, with different lengths of contacts resulting in a circular connection formation on the PCB.
In this arrangement, an insulating round body is pushed, which has four pitch circle segments in its plug-in area, in each of which two of the electrical contacts are housed.
Thus, a fully shielded signal transfer is advantageously possible, especially since the insulating round body always connected by a metallic conductive housing in the form of a front panel insert for a mating connector or even a complete, the circuit board surrounding electrically conductive housing, within which the internal connector with an externally supplied mating connector is.

Für eine exakte Ausrichtung der Anschlussenden ist vorteilhafterweise eine Positionierhilfe vorgesehen, die an der Anschlussseite an dem Steckverbinder fixiert wird und entsprechend der Anordnung der Leiterplattenanschlüsse Bohrungen aufweist, so dass die Anschlussenden exakt auf die Leiterplattenanschlüsse ausgerichtet werden.For an exact alignment of the terminal ends, a positioning aid is advantageously provided, which is fixed to the connector side on the connector and according to the arrangement of the printed circuit board terminals has holes, so that the terminal ends are aligned exactly to the PCB connections.

Dabei ist eine gestufte Höhenverteilung innerhalb der kreisförmigen Anordnung der Bohrungen von Vorteil, so dass nicht alle Leiterplattenkontakte zur gleichen Zeit in die Positionierungshilfe einzufädeln sind.In this case, a stepped height distribution within the circular arrangement of the holes is advantageous, so that not all PCB contacts are to be threaded at the same time in the positioning aid.

Die elektrischen Kontakte sind als Drahtkontakte ausgebildet und werden in Längsrillen jeweils in entsprechenden Rillen in den vier Segmenten des Kontaktträgers eingerastet, so dass der darüber geschobene Rundkörper die Kontakte sicher aufnimmt.
Dabei sind die elektrischen Kontakte wahlweise als Stift- wie auch als Buchsenkontakt ausgebildet.
Der hier vorzugsweise dargestellte Rundsteckverbinder wird in einer geraden und einer gewinkelten Version vorgestellt und ist für eine direkte Montage auf Leiterplatten ausgelegt. Es ist aber auch eine rechteckige oder quadratische Formgebung für den Steckverbinder ausführbar.
Darüber hinaus ist vorgesehen, die elektrischen Kontakte, neben ihrem Einclipsen in entsprechende Ausnehmungen des Kontaktträgers, direkt in dessen Kunststoffkörper einzubetten.
The electrical contacts are formed as wire contacts and are engaged in longitudinal grooves respectively in corresponding grooves in the four segments of the contact carrier, so that the over-pushed round body securely receives the contacts.
The electrical contacts are optionally designed as a pin as well as a socket contact.
The circular connector preferably shown here is presented in a straight and angled version and is designed for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. But it is also a rectangular or square shape for the connector executable.
In addition, it is provided to embed the electrical contacts, in addition to their clipping into corresponding recesses of the contact carrier, directly in the plastic body.

In einer bevorzugten Ausbildungsform ist der Steckverbinder in einer abgewinkelten Bauform zur Montage auf einer Leiterplatte vorgesehen.
Für diese gewinkelte Version ist erstmals ein Schirmkreuz entwickelt worden, dass vorteilhafterweise auch die senkrechte Abbiegung der elektrischen Kontakte berücksichtigt, so dass die gesamte Länge der Kontakte, von der Steckseite bis zur Anschlussseite auf der Platine unterbrechungsfrei abgeschirmt ist.
In a preferred embodiment, the connector is provided in an angled design for mounting on a printed circuit board.
For this angled version, a shield cross has been developed for the first time, which advantageously also takes into account the vertical deflection of the electrical contacts, so that the entire length of the contacts, from the plug side to the connection side on the board is shielded without interruption.

In erster Linie ist vorgesehen, dass der Steckverbinder zunächst keine weitere abschirmende Außenhülle aufweist, da die Endmontage zusammen mit der Leiterkarte zumindest innerhalb eines alle Bauteile umfassenden, abschirmenden Gehäuses erfolgt.
In einer weiteren Ausbildungsform kann der Steckverbinder jedoch auch in eine ihn direkt umgebende elektrisch leitende Hülle eingeschoben werden. Es sind jedoch auch Anwendungsfälle vorgesehen, einen oder mehrere auf einer Leiterplatte fixierte Steckverbinder innerhalb eines elektrisch nicht leitenden Gehäuses anzuordnen, wobei der Steckverbinder in einen elektrisch leitenden Frontplatteneinsatz innerhalb einer elektrisch leitenden Frontplatte eingeschoben wird, so dass der Frontplatteneinsatz gleichzeitig eine Befestigungsmöglichkeit für den zu steckenden Gegensteckers bildet.
Hierbei ist der Steckverbinder bzw. der Rundkörper "schwimmend" gelagert, d.h. er ist nur auf der Leiterplatte gehalten, während der zugeführte Gegenstecker vorteilhaft in einer Verschraubung eines Frontplatteneinsatzes gehalten wird. Wobei die Verschraubung als Hülse geformt, zwar über den Rundsteckverbinder reicht, die beiden aber nicht fest miteinander verbunden sind, jedoch die abschirmende Wirkung mittels der Schirmfeder vollzogen wird.
First and foremost, it is provided that the connector initially has no further shielding outer shell, since the final assembly takes place together with the circuit board at least within a shielding housing comprising all components.
In a further embodiment, however, the connector can also be inserted into an electrically conductive sheath surrounding it directly. However, there are also applications provided to arrange one or more fixed on a printed circuit board connector within an electrically non-conductive housing, wherein the connector is inserted into an electrically conductive front panel insert within an electrically conductive front panel, so that the front panel at the same time a mounting option for the plug Mating plug forms.
Here, the connector or the round body "floating" is stored, ie it is held only on the circuit board, while the mating connector is advantageously held in a screw of a front panel insert. Although the screw is shaped as a sleeve, although extends over the circular connector, but the two are not firmly connected, but the shielding effect is performed by means of the shield spring.

Weiterhin ist zweckmäßigerweise in einer weiteren Ausbildungsform eine gerade Bauform des Steckverbinders vorgesehen, die senkrecht auf eine Leiterplatte zu montieren ist.
Hierbei sind alle eingefügten elektrischen Kontakte von der gleichen Bauform.
Furthermore, a straight design of the connector is expediently provided in a further embodiment, which is to be mounted perpendicular to a printed circuit board.
Here are all inserted electrical contacts of the same design.

FIG.

Die Steckseite 31 des elektrischen Kontaktes 30 ist entweder als Stift oder als Buchse ausgeführt, während die Lötseite 32.1 jeweils um etwa 90° aus der Achse abgewinkelt ist.
Die Längen der elektrischen Kontakte 30 sind unterschiedlich, wobei immer der 1. Bereich 32.1 mit der abgewinkelten Lötseite kürzer oder länger ausgeführt ist.
Signifikant ist der nächste 2. Bereich 32.2, bei dem der Kontakt eine Vierkantform aufweist, die in den 1. Abschnitt 24.1 mit der eckigen Kante im Kontaktträger 20 eingesetzt wird. Dadurch wird eine erste grobe Ausrichtung der Lötseiten zur späteren Montage auf einer Leiterplatte 65 erzielt.
Der 3. Bereich 32.3 ist insgesamt zum Einclipsen und Halten des Kontaktes 30 im zweiten Abschnitt 24.2 des Kontaktträgers 20 vorgesehen, während der 4. Bereich 32.4 mit einem größeren Durchmesser in die lange Führungsrille 24.3 des 3. Abschnittes des Kontaktträgers 20 eingelegt wird.
The plug-in side 31 of the electrical contact 30 is designed either as a pin or as a socket, while the soldering side 32.1 is angled in each case by about 90 ° from the axis.
The lengths of the electrical contacts 30 are different, wherein always the first area 32.1 is designed shorter or longer with the angled soldering side.
Significant is the next 2nd area 32.2, in which the contact has a square shape, which is used in the first section 24.1 with the angular edge in the contact carrier 20. As a result, a first coarse alignment of the soldering sides for later mounting on a printed circuit board 65 is achieved.
The third area 32.3 is provided in total for clipping and holding the contact 30 in the second section 24.2 of the contact carrier 20, while the fourth area 32.4 is inserted with a larger diameter into the long guide groove 24.3 of the third section of the contact carrier 20.

In einer weiteren Fig. 4 ist der Rundkörper 40 dargestellt, der auf die kreuzförmige Struktur aus Schirmkreuz 10 und Kontaktträger 20 aufzuschieben ist.In another Fig. 4 the round body 40 is shown, which is postpone to the cross-shaped structure of screen cross 10 and contact carrier 20.

Wobei zwei gegenüberliegende Längsschlitze 44 mit Verrastungshaken 45 vorgesehen sind, in die die zweiten Rastanformungen 15.2 des Schirmkreuzes 10 zur Arretierung eingreifen.
Mit dem Ende des Längsschlitzes 44 ist eine umlaufende Ringnut 46 in den Rundkörper 40 eingeformt, in die eine so genannte Schirmfeder 60 einzufügen ist. Wobei die Schirmfeder durchaus eine abweichende Form gegenüber der hier gezeigten aufweisen kann.
Weiterhin weist der Rundkörper 40 eine Steckseite 41 mit vier Teilkreissegmenten 42 auf, in denen jeweils zwei Bohrungen 43 für die Steckseiten 31 der als Buchse oder Stift ausgebildeten elektrischen Kontakte 30 eingeformt sind.
Zwischen diese Teilkreissegmente 42, greifen zumindest teilweise, die senkrechten und waagrechten Wände 11,12 des Schirmkreuzes 10 ein. Dabei kann auch vorgesehen sein, den Rundkörper für eine mit Stiftkontakten versehene Ausführung direkt um den Kontaktträger herum aufzuspritzen.
The externally, substantially, circular contours having and made of a non-electrically conductive material round body 40 is adapted in its interior to the outer cross shape of the contact carrier 20. Whereby two opposite longitudinal slots 44 are provided with Verrastungshaken 45, in which engage the second Rastanformungen 15.2 of the shield cross 10 for locking.
With the end of the longitudinal slot 44, a circumferential annular groove 46 is formed in the round body 40, in which a so-called shield spring 60 is to be inserted. Wherein the shield spring may well have a different shape from that shown here.
Furthermore, the round body 40 has a plug-in side 41 with four pitch circle segments 42, in each of which two holes 43 are formed for the plug-in sides 31 of the electrical contacts 30 formed as a socket or pin.
Between these pitch circle segments 42, at least partially, the vertical and horizontal walls 11,12 of the shield cross 10 a. It can also be provided to spray the round body for a provided with pin contacts execution directly around the contact carrier around.

Die Fig. 6 zeigt eine Positionierhilfe 50 zur Ausrichtung der Lötseiten 32.1 der elektrischen Kontakte 30, die an den Rundkörper 40 angefügt wird und mittels eines Fixierstiftes 55 auf der Leiterplatte 65 eingesetzt wird.
Die Positionierhilfe 50 ist zunächst als flache Scheibe 51 mit zwei Viertelkreis-Abschnitten 52 auf einem erhöhten Niveau ausgebildet,.
The Fig. 6 shows a positioning aid 50 for aligning the Lötseiten 32.1 of the electrical contacts 30, which is attached to the round body 40 and is used by means of a fixing pin 55 on the circuit board 65.
The positioning aid 50 is initially formed as a flat disc 51 with two quarter-circle sections 52 at an elevated level.

So werden beim Anfügen der Positionierhilfe die Lötseiten 32.1 der elektrischen Kontakte 30 erst in die Bohrungen 53.1 bei den höherstehenden Abschnitten 52 eingefügt und anschließend die restlichen Kontakte in die Bohrungen 53.2 des flachen Bereiches 51.
Entsprechend einer gewollten, kreisförmigen Anordnung der lötbaren Anschlussenden 32.1 der elektrischen Kontakte 30 sind die Bohrungen 53.1, 53.2 in der Positionierhilfe 50 angeordnet.
Zusätzlich ist auch noch eine Bohrung 54 für den Massestift 17 des Schirmkreuzes 10 erforderlich.
Weiterhin sind an der dem Rundkörper 40 zugewandten Seite zwei Stifte 57 zur Halterung im Rundkörper 40 angeformt, während auf der entgegengesetzten Seite mindestens ein Fixierstift 55 für die Leiterplatte 65 vorgesehen ist.

In the Fig. 7 is already a ready-made connector 1 shown, in addition to the positioning aid 50 is added.
On the round body 40, the shield spring 60 can be seen in the circumferential groove 46, by means of which a contact with a front panel insert 75 described below is ensured.
The shield spring 60 is shown here as a spiral spring and takes over the ground contact between the screen cross 10 via the second Rastanformung 15.2 to the metallic, electrically conductive front panel insert 75th

So ist in der Fig. 8 beispielsweise ein Frontplatteneinsatz 75 für den Rundsteckverbinder 1 vorgesehen, in den der Rundkörper 40 einschiebbar ist, wobei mittels der Schirmfeder 60 eine Kontaktierung der Masseströme auf die allgemeine Gehäusemasse über die Frontplatte 70 gesichert ist. Damit ist prinzipiell jeder der vier Segmente 42 des kompletten Steckverbinders 1 mit den darin angeordneten elektrischen Kontakten 30 optimal gegen Fremdspannungen hermetisch abgedichtet.
Im gesteckten Zustand mit einem Gegenstecker, greift dessen Schirmkreuz dann in das kreuzförmige Steckgesicht, gebildet durch die vier Segmente 42, des Rundkörpers 40 ein, so dass eine durchgängige Abschirmung der Signalleitungen in den vier Segmenten erzielt wird.
So is in the Fig. 8 For example, a front plate insert 75 is provided for the circular connector 1, in which the round body 40 can be inserted, wherein by means of the shield spring 60 a contacting of the ground currents is secured to the general chassis ground on the front panel 70. Thus, in principle, each of the four segments 42 of the complete connector 1 with the electrical contacts 30 disposed therein is optimally hermetically sealed against external voltages.
In the inserted state with a mating connector, its shield cross then engages in the cross-shaped mating face formed by the four segments 42 of the round body 40, so that a continuous shielding of the signal lines in the four segments is achieved.

In der Fig. 9 ist ein gewinkelter Steckverbinder 1 in einer anschlussseitigen Perspektive gezeigt, der auf einer Leiterplatte 65 fixiert ist und "schwimmend" in eine abschirmende Hülse, einen Frontplatteneinsatz 75 eingeschoben ist. Das heißt der Steckverbinder 1 liegt dabei relativ frei, eingeschlossen die Kontaktierung mit der Schirmfeder, in dem in einer Frontplatte 70 verschraubten Frontplatteneinsatz 75, wobei ein zu kontaktierender Gegenstecker jedoch fest mit dem Frontplatteneinsatz 75 verschraubt oder verrastet befestigbar ist.In the Fig. 9 an angled connector 1 is shown in a connection-side perspective, which is fixed on a circuit board 65 and "floating" in a shielding sleeve, a front panel insert 75 is inserted. That is, the connector 1 is relatively free, including the contact with the shield spring, in which screwed in a front panel 70 front panel insert 75, but a mating connector to be contacted is firmly bolted to the front panel insert 75 or locked fastened.

Die Fig. 10 zeigt eine Variante des Steckverbinders 2 in einer so genannten geraden Ausführung. Das heißt die elektrischen Kontakte sind bei gleicherThe Fig. 10 shows a variant of the connector 2 in a so-called straight version. That means the electrical contacts are the same

Länge durchgehend gerade ausgebildet. Ein derartiger Steckverbinder wird, wie hier gezeigt, senkrecht auf die Leiterplatte 65 aufgesetzt.
Außerdem ist noch ein auf den Steckverbinder 2 aufgeschobener Frontplatteneinsatz 75 gezeigt.
In allen Anwendungsfällen ist jedoch eine störstrahlungssichere Abschirmung der Signale zumindest durch den Frontplatteneinsatz 75 für den Steckverbinder 1, 2 vorgesehen.
Length continuously straight. Such a connector is, as shown here, mounted vertically on the circuit board 65.
In addition, a pushed onto the connector 2 front panel insert 75 is still shown.
In all applications, however, an interference-radiation-proof shielding of the signals is provided at least by the front panel insert 75 for the connector 1, 2.

Das Gehäuse kann demnach entweder als "Hülse" geformt sein, und wird als Frontplatteneinsatz 75 beispielsweise in ein Kunststoffgehäuse verbaut, in dem ein oder mehrere Steckverbinder 1 bereits auf einer Leiterplatte 65 entsprechend der Ausrichtung der Frontplatteneinsätze zum Stecken mit einem Gegenstecker angeordnet sind. Oder die Leiterplatte ist mit den darauf angeordneten Steckverbindern komplett in einem metallischen oder elektrisch leitenden Gehäuse 80 ebenfalls zur Steckung mit entsprechenden Gegensteckern untergebracht.Accordingly, the housing can either be shaped as a "sleeve", and is installed as a front panel insert 75, for example in a plastic housing, in which one or more connectors 1 are already arranged on a printed circuit board 65 corresponding to the orientation of the front panel inserts for mating with a mating connector. Or the circuit board is housed with the connectors arranged thereon completely in a metallic or electrically conductive housing 80 also for mating with corresponding mating connectors.
