Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a connector having a plurality of first, electrically insulated conductor contacts, which are cut from a sheet such that they are interconnected via a connecting part of the sheet, and with a plurality of second, interconnected conductor contacts, the are cut from a metal sheet, wherein the conductor contacts for forming an electrically insulating and the conductor contacts each other fixing housing are partially embedded in an electrically insulating material and then the connecting part is separated, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such connectors are usually produced by isolating the individual conductor contacts, an insulator receiving and insulating the conductor contacts, and a housing accommodating the conductor contacts and the insulator, and a subsequent assembly of the individual parts. It can also be provided that the housing, if it is formed from an electrically insulating material, takes over the function of the insulator.
- A1 is a connector with a plurality of parallel pins, which are mounted in the connector known.
- a circuit board is connected to the connector. Some of the pins are adapted to transmit signals from the circuit board and other pins are electrically connected to a ground potential of the circuit board.
- the pins are arranged so that some signal-conducting pins are each surrounded by four ground-conductive pins.
- the present invention seeks to provide an improved and more cost-effective method for producing a connector.
- the plurality of second conductor contacts form a conductor contact plate and are not separated from each other, wherein the conductor contact plate are connected via the connecting element with the plurality of first conductor contacts.
- the inventive method is characterized by low unit costs for the connectors produced, because both the production of the unit of conductor contacts and connecting part by cutting out of a sheet and preferably by punching and the production of the insulator / housing by embedding in an electrically non-conductive material and
- plastic in particular by means of injection molding and similar processes, such as injection compression, etc., each represents a cost-effective for mass production process.
- largely or completely eliminated in the inventive method largely or completely, since the integration of the conductor contacts in the insulator / Housing takes place in the context of its design.
- the plurality of first conductor contacts may be, for example, signal conductor contacts, which are thus - in conjunction with a signal conductor contact of a corresponding mating connector - the signal-transmitting connection of two signal lines (for example, a printed circuit board or a cable, in particular coaxial cable).
- the majority of second conductor contacts may be, for example Trade ground contacts.
- At least those conductor contacts which are preferably provided as signal conductor contacts, and therefore in the later use of the connector are insulated from each other, to position during embedding in the material of the housing via the connecting part.
- the connector according to the invention can be provided for HF applications (HF: high frequency).
- HF high frequency
- the first and second conductor contacts are cut out of the metal sheet and integrated into the housing in such a way that a first conductor contact in each case consists of several, and in particular four (Preferably, a square forming) second conductor contacts is surrounded.
- the arrangement of the conductor contacts in particular their distance from each other
- the choice of electrically insulating material especially in coordination with the not embedded in the plastic part of the conductor contact air in their function as a dielectric, so to choose that results in a standard for RF applications impedance (eg 50 ⁇ ) of the signal conductor or the unit of signal and ground conductor.
- the conductor contacts may preferably be formed as projecting into a recess of the housing contact spring tabs, which are thus slightly deformed when connected to a corresponding conductor contact of a mating connector and thereby produce a sufficient contact pressure, which allows a secure transmission of particular RF signals.
- Such a connection can be made in particular by soldering, in which case the advantage can be realized that the solder joints outside the housing are easily accessible, where they can be easily subjected to a quality inspection.
- the housing is formed such that this connecting means for connecting to (the housing of) forms a mating connector.
- Fig. 1 to 6 show a preferred embodiment of a connector 10 produced by a method according to the invention in three stages of manufacture.
- a metallic stamped component In the Fig. 1 (in a plan view) and the Fig. 2 (in an isometric View) is shown a metallic stamped component.
- This stamped component forms a total of four first conductor contacts 1 and a total of ten second conductor contacts 2.
- the first conductor contacts 1 are to serve in the connector of the transmission of RF signals, while the second conductor contacts 2 are provided for a connection to ground.
- the second conductor contacts 2 are formed as contact spring tabs and an integral part of a conductor contact plate 3. All second conductor contacts 2 are thus electrically conductively connected to each other.
- the second conductor contacts 2 are also connected via a connecting part 4 (also electrically conductive) to the first conductor contacts 1.
- the connecting part 4 also forms an integral part of the stamped component. While the first conductor contacts 1 are all connected individually to the connection part 4, a connection between the connection part 4 and the conductor contact plate 3 comprising the second conductor contacts 2 takes place via two webs 5.
- the conductor contacts 1, 2 to be partially encapsulated with an electrically insulating plastic to form a housing 6 for the connector, as shown in the Fig. 3 (in a plan view) and the Fig. 4 (in an isometric view).
- the housing 6 surrounds all of the conductor contacts 1, 2 partially, wherein in each case one end of each of the conductor contacts 1, 2 exposed in recesses, so that these conductor contacts of a mating connector can contact.
- the connecting part 4 and adjoining short sections of the first conductor contacts 1 as well as sections of the webs 5 connecting the connecting part 4 to the conductor contact plate 3 are not encapsulated.
- Both the first conductor contacts 1 and the second conductor contacts 2 are, as can be seen in particular from the isometric views according to FIGS Fig. 2 . 4 and 6 results, as a contact spring tabs formed with twice angled course (the function of the first conductor contacts 1 as contact spring tabs results from their embedding in the plastic of the housing).
- This course is achieved by bending the conductor contacts 1, 2 in the context of the stamping process. Due to the double bend of the conductor contacts 1, 2 is achieved that the free ends are arranged in a plane which are parallel to the plane of the non-bent portions of the stamped component. The free ends of the conductor contacts thus protrude from the housing 6.
- the housing further comprises three fastening elements 7, with which the connector e.g. can be mounted on the board.
