Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kontaktsatz für eine Anschlussbuchse gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a contact set for a connection socket according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Kontaktsätze für Anschlussbuchsen, insbesondere für RJ45-Buchsen, sind für unterschiedliche Übertragungsleistungen bekannt. Um die Leistungsfähigkeit elektronischer Komponenten zu beschreiben, werden diese in Kategorien eingeteilt. Derzeit gängige Kategorien sind Cat-5, welche für Betriebsfrequenzen bis 100 MHz bestimmt ist, Cat-6, welche für Betriebsfrequenzen bis 250 MHZ ist oder Cat-6A, welche für Übertragungsfrequenzen bis 500 MHz und Strecken bis 100 m ausgelegt ist. Es ist durchaus denkbar, dass in Zukunft elektronische Komponenten mit noch besseren Übertragungseigenschaften gängig werden.Contact sets for connection sockets, in particular for RJ45 sockets, are known for different transmission powers. To describe the performance of electronic components, they are categorized. Currently common categories are Cat-5, which is designed for operating frequencies up to 100 MHz, Cat-6, which is for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz or Cat-6A, which is designed for transmission frequencies up to 500 MHz and distances up to 100 m. It is quite conceivable that in the future electronic components with even better transmission characteristics will become common.

Damit Kabel oder Buchsen Übertragungseigenschaften gemäß einer bestimmten Kategorie erreichen, wird gefordert, dass das Nahnebensprechen (near end cross talk, abgekürzt NEXT) in bestimmter Höhe unterdrückt wird. Dazu ist es bekannt, Kompensationsschaltungen vorzusehen, die das Nahübersprechen vermindern oder unterdrücken.For cables or jacks to achieve transmission characteristics according to a particular category, it is required that the near end cross talk (NEXT) be suppressed to a certain extent. For this purpose it is known to provide compensation circuits which reduce or suppress the near-crosstalk.

Um bei einer Anschlussbuchse die Übertragungseigenschaften der Kategorie 6a zu erreichen, hat es sich gezeigt, dass es vorteilhaft ist, eine Kompensation des Übersprechens möglichst nahe an dem Kontaktpunkt zwischen der Buchse und einem in die Buchse eingeführten Stecker zu platzieren.In order to achieve the transmission characteristics of category 6a in a connection socket, it has been shown that it is advantageous to place a compensation of the crosstalk as close as possible to the contact point between the socket and a plug inserted into the socket.

Die EP 1 306 934 B1 sieht dazu eine auf einer Basisleiterplatte befestigte Buchse vor, wobei innerhalb eines Aufnahmeelements einer Buchse eine Kompensationsleiterplatte angeordnet ist, die eine Kompensationsschaltung zur Verminderung von Störeinflüssen, insbesondere des Übersprechens, enthält und an der die Kontaktelemente, die mit einem eingesteckten Stecker in Kontakt stehen, befestigt sind, wobei die Basisleiterplatte eine weitere Kompensationsschaltung zur Verminderung von Störeinflüssen enthält.The EP 1 306 934 B1 For this purpose, a socket mounted on a base circuit board before, wherein a compensation circuit board is arranged within a receiving element of a socket, which includes a compensation circuit for reducing Interference, in particular the crosstalk contains, and at which the contact elements, which are in contact with an inserted plug, are fixed, wherein the base circuit board includes a further compensation circuit for the reduction of interference.

Um eine Kompensationsschaltung noch näher an den Kontaktpunkt zwischen Stecker und Buchse zu platzieren, offenbart die EP 1 858 118 A1 eine Buchse mit einem Kontaktsatz, welcher mehrere Kontaktelemente aufweist, wobei an den freien Enden der Kontaktelemente, die in den Innenraum der Buchse hereinragen, in welchen der Stecker eingesteckt wird, eine Kompensationsschaltung, beispielsweise in Form eines flexiblen Substrats mit einer Kompensationsschaltung, angeordnet ist.To place a compensation circuit even closer to the contact point between the plug and socket, discloses the EP 1 858 118 A1 a socket with a contact set having a plurality of contact elements, wherein at the free ends of the contact elements, which protrude into the interior of the socket, in which the plug is inserted, a compensation circuit, for example in the form of a flexible substrate with a compensation circuit, is arranged.

Die WO 0180376 A1 offenbart eine in dem Gehäuse der Buchse angeordnete Kompensationsleiterplatte, an welcher die freien Enden der Kontaktelemente, die mit ihrem anderen Ende an einer Leiterplatte befestigt sind, federnd anliegen.The WO 0180376 A1 discloses a compensation printed circuit board arranged in the housing of the socket, on which the free ends of the contact elements, which are fastened at their other end to a printed circuit board, are resiliently abutted.

Das Befestigen der Leiterplatten an freien Enden der Kontaktelemente ist arbeitsaufwändig und muss mit hoher Genauigkeit erfolgen.The attachment of the printed circuit boards at free ends of the contact elements is labor intensive and must be done with high accuracy.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht daher darin, einen Kontaktsatz für eine Anschlussbuchse bereitzustellen, welcher mit geringen Herstellungskosten hergestellt werden kann und eine Kompensation möglichst nahe an dem Kontaktpunkt zwischen der Buchse und einem in die Buchse eingeführten Stecker ermöglicht.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a contact set for a connection socket, which can be manufactured with low production costs and allows compensation as close as possible to the contact point between the socket and a plug inserted into the socket.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Kontaktsatz für eine Anschlussbuchse mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The object is achieved by a contact set for a connection socket with the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Durch die Anordnung der Kompensationsflächen an den Kontaktelementen kann eine aufwendig herzustellende Leiterplatte und eine aufwendige Platzierung einer Leiterplatte an den Kontaktelementen entfallen. Trotzdem bleibt die Möglichkeit zur Kompensation in räumlicher Nähe des Kontaktpunktes zwischen der Buchse und einem in die Buchse eingeführten Stecker, da die Kompensationsflächen an einem freien Ende der dritten Abschnitte angeordnet sind.The contact set according to the invention for a connection socket, wherein the contact set has at least two contact elements, wherein the contact elements have at least a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, wherein the first portion has a connection element, wherein the contact elements by an insulating body in the second portion are fixed in their relative position to each other and wherein the third portion has a contact surface for a contact element of an insert into the connector plug, characterized in that at least two of the contact elements at a free end of the third portion having a compensation surface, wherein two compensation surfaces so are arranged such that they at least partially overlap, wherein between the two at least partially overlapping compensation surfaces, an insulating film is arranged and wherein the insulating film and the two Kompensationsfläc surrounded by an insulating housing. Due to the arrangement of the compensation surfaces on the contact elements, a circuit board to be produced in a complex manner and a complicated placement of a printed circuit board on the contact elements can be dispensed with. Nevertheless, the possibility of compensation remains in the vicinity of the contact point between the socket and a plug inserted into the socket, since the compensation surfaces are arranged at a free end of the third sections.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Ausführungsbeispiels eines Kontaktsatzes 10 mit mehreren, insbesondere acht Kontaktelementen 20-1, 20-2, 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6, 20-7, 20-8, im Allgemeinen bezeichnet mit 20, und einem Isolationskörper 30, der die Kontaktelemente 20 in ihrer relativen Position zueinander fixiert. Die Kontaktelemente 20 sind aus elektrisch leitendem Material, der Isolationskörper aus isolierendem Material, beispielsweise Kunststoff. Insbesondere ist der Isolationskörper 30 um die Kontaktelemente 20 gespritzt. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a contact set 10 with a plurality, in particular eight contact elements 20-1, 20-2, 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6, 20-7, 20-8, generally designated with 20, and an insulating body 30, which fixes the contact elements 20 in their relative position to each other. The contact elements 20 are made of electrically conductive material, the insulating body of insulating material, such as plastic. In particular, the insulating body 30 is injected around the contact elements 20.

Die Kontaktelemente 20 weisen einen ersten Abschnitt 21, einen zweiten Abschnitt 22 und einen dritten Abschnitt 23 auf. Dabei sei ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass die Abschnitte 21, 22, 23 nicht zwingend direkt aneinander angrenzen müssen, aber auch zumindest teilweise oder ganz überlappend ausgebildet sein können.The contact elements 20 have a first portion 21, a second portion 22 and a third portion 23. It should be expressly understood that the sections 21, 22, 23 need not necessarily adjoin one another directly, but may also be formed at least partially or completely overlapping.

Der erste Abschnitt 21 weist ein Anschlusselement auf, welches vorliegend insbesondere als Anschlusspin ausgebildet ist.The first section 21 has a connection element, which in the present case is designed in particular as a connection pin.

In dem zweiten Abschnitt 22 sind die Kontaktelemente 20 von dem Isolationskörper 30 umgeben und in ihrer relativen Position zueinander fixiert. Dabei ist der erste Abschnitt 21 gegenüber dem zweiten Abschnitt 22 der Kontaktelemente 20 abgebogen, insbesondere um 45° oder 90°.In the second section 22, the contact elements 20 are surrounded by the insulating body 30 and fixed in their relative position to each other. In this case, the first portion 21 is bent relative to the second portion 22 of the contact elements 20, in particular by 45 ° or 90 °.

Die dritten Abschnitte 23 der Kontaktelemente 20 weisen eine Anlagefläche für ein Kontaktelement eines Steckers auf. Dabei sind die dritten Abschnitte 23 derart gegenüber den zweiten Abschnitten 22 abgebogen, dass sie mit den zweiten Abschnitten 22 oder der Oberfläche des Isolationskörpers 30 einen vorzugsweise spitzen Winkel bilden. Die dritten Abschnitte 23 sind insbesondere derart ausgebildet, dass sie unter Federspannung an den Kontaktelementen des Steckers anliegen können.The third sections 23 of the contact elements 20 have a contact surface for a contact element of a plug. In this case, the third sections 23 are bent relative to the second sections 22 such that they form a preferably acute angle with the second sections 22 or the surface of the insulation body 30. The third sections 23 are in particular designed such that they can rest under spring tension on the contact elements of the plug.

Sind die Kontaktelemente 20 in dem Isolationskörper 30 angeordnet, sind insbesondere die ersten Abschnitte 21 aller Kontaktelemente 20 und die dritten Abschnitte 23 aller Kontaktelemente 20 parallel zueinander ausgerichtet. Insbesondere können zumindest die dritten Abschnitte 23 der Kontaktelemente 20 äquidistant angeordnet sein.If the contact elements 20 are arranged in the insulation body 30, in particular the first sections 21 of all contact elements 20 and the third sections 23 of all contact elements 20 are aligned parallel to one another. In particular, at least the third sections 23 of the contact elements 20 can be arranged equidistantly.

Der Isolationskörper 30 kann als im Wesentlichen quaderförmiges Element ausgebildet sein. Der Isolationskörper 30 weist in einer Ausführungsform wenigstens ein Einführungselement 32 auf, welches das Einführen und Positionieren des Kontaktsatzes 10 in einem Buchsengehäuse 52 einer Anschlussbuchse 50 vereinfacht. Dabei können die Einführungselemente 32 derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie in Führungsnuten 58, welche in dem Buchsengehäuse 52 angeordnet sind, eingreifen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Einführungselemente 32 eine Fase 33 auf, welche das Einführen in das Buchsengehäuse 52, insbesondere in die Führungsnut 58 des Buchsengehäuses 52, weiter vereinfacht.The insulating body 30 may be formed as a substantially cuboidal element. The insulating body 30 has in one embodiment at least one insertion element 32, which simplifies the insertion and positioning of the contact set 10 in a female housing 52 of a connection socket 50. In this case, the insertion elements 32 may be formed such that they in guide grooves 58, which in the socket housing 52 are arranged, intervene. In a preferred embodiment, the introduction elements 32 have a chamfer 33, which further simplifies the insertion into the socket housing 52, in particular into the guide groove 58 of the socket housing 52.

In einer Ausführungsform weist der Isolationskörper 30 wenigstens ein, beispielsweise zwei Rastelemente 34 auf, mittels welcher der Isolationskörper 30 in dem Buchsengehäuse 52 verrastet. Die Rastelemente 34 können beispielsweise als Hinterschnitte in den Einführungselementen 32 ausgebildet sein, um die Herstellung zu vereinfachen.In one embodiment, the insulation body 30 has at least one, for example, two latching elements 34, by means of which the insulation body 30 is latched in the socket housing 52. The locking elements 34 may be formed, for example, as undercuts in the introduction elements 32 in order to simplify the production.

Der Kontaktsatz 10 mit Kontaktelementen 20 und dem Isolationskörper 30 weist definierte Übertragungseigenschaften auf. Diese können durch eine wie in Figur 2 und 3 dargestellte Führung und Verkreuzung der unterschiedlichen Kontaktelemente 20, insbesondere in den zweiten Abschnitten 22, gezielt beeinflusst und verbessert werden.The contact set 10 with contact elements 20 and the insulation body 30 has defined transmission properties. These can be through a like in FIG. 2 and 3 shown guide and crossing of the different contact elements 20, in particular in the second sections 22, specifically influenced and improved.

In einer Ausführungsform können wenigstens zwei der Kontaktelemente 20, beispielsweise die Kontaktelemente 20-1, 20-2 und/oder die Kontaktelemente 20-4, 20-5 und/oder die Kontaktelemente 20-7, 20-8 in einem Bereich 12 des Kontaktsatzes 10 miteinander gekreuzt angeordnet sein. Der Bereich 12 ist insbesondere in dem Isolationskörper 30 angeordnet und liegt insbesondere in dem zweiten Abschnitt 22 der Kontaktelemente 20. Durch ein Kreuzen der Kontaktelemente 20 kann eine gezielte Gegenkopplung erreicht werden, durch welche das Nahübersprechen verringert werden kann.In one embodiment, at least two of the contact elements 20, for example the contact elements 20-1, 20-2 and / or the contact elements 20-4, 20-5 and / or the contact elements 20-7, 20-8 in a region 12 of the contact set 10 may be crossed with each other. The region 12 is arranged in particular in the insulating body 30 and lies in particular in the second portion 22 of the contact elements 20. By crossing the contact elements 20, a targeted negative feedback can be achieved by which the near-crosstalk can be reduced.

Ebenfalls zur Verringerung des Nahübersprechens in dem Kontaktsatz 10 können in einem zweiten Bereich 14 des Kontaktsatzes 10 wenigstens zwei der Kontaktelemente 20 einen anderen Abstand zueinander aufweisen als der Abstand, in welchem ihre ersten Abschnitte 21 oder ihre dritten Abschnitte 23 zueinander angeordnet sind. Auch durch ein derartiges gezieltes Führen der Kontaktelemente 20 in kleinerem oder größerem Abstand zueinander kann eine Gegenkopplung erreicht werden, welche das Nahübersprechen in dem Kontaktsatz 10 verringert. Der zweite Bereich 14 schließt sich insbesondere an den ersten Bereich 12 an und liegt insbesondere in dem zweiten Abschnitt 22 der Kontaktelemente 20. Insbesondere ist der zweite Bereich 14 von dem Isolationskörper 30 zumindest abschnittsweise umgeben. Die Ausgestaltung des Kontaktsatzes 10 mit der Führung der Kontaktelemente 20 in dem ersten Bereich 12 und/oder dem zweiten Bereich 14 verbessert die Übertragungseigenschaften, ist jedoch eine optionale Ausgestaltung.Also, to reduce near crosstalk in the contact set 10, in a second region 14 of the contact set 10 at least two of the contact elements 20 have a different distance from each other than the distance in which their first portions 21 or their third portions 23 are arranged to each other. Also by such targeted guiding the contact elements 20 at a smaller or greater distance from each other, a negative feedback can be achieved, which reduces the near crosstalk in the contact set 10. The second region 14 adjoins the first region 12 in particular and lies in particular in the second portion 22 of the contact elements 20. In particular, the second region 14 is surrounded by the insulating body 30 at least in sections. The configuration of the contact set 10 with the guidance of the contact elements 20 in the first region 12 and / or the second region 14 improves the transmission properties, but is an optional embodiment.

Um die Übertragungseigenschaften des Kontaktsatzes 10 zu verbessern, weisen wenigstens zwei der Kontaktelemente 20, insbesondere genau vier Kontaktelemente 20, beispielsweise die vier mittleren Kontaktelemente 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6, an einem freien Ende der dritten Abschnitte 23 eine Kompensationsfläche 41, 42, 43, 44 auf. Dazu sind die dritten Abschnitte 23 der entsprechenden Kontaktelemente 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6 länger ausgebildet als die dritten Abschnitte 23 der Kontaktelemente 20-1, 20-2, 20-7, 20-8, welche keine Kompensationsfläche aufweisen. Die Kompensationsfläche 41 ist an dem dritten Kontaktelement 20-3, die Kompensationsfläche 42 an dem fünften Kontaktelement 20-5, die Kompensationsfläche 43 an dem vierten Kontaktelement 20-4 und die Kompensationsfläche 44 an dem sechsten Kontaktelement 20-6 angeordnet. Jeweils zwei Kompensationsflächen 41, 42; 43, 44 sind derart angeordnet, dass sie zumindest teilweise überlappen. Dazu sind insbesondere die freien Enden der dritten Abschnitte 23 der entsprechenden Kontaktelemente 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6 aufeinander zu geführt. Beispielsweise sind die freien Enden der Kontaktelemente 20-4, 20-5 abgebogen. Insbesondere sind die freien Enden der dritten Abschnitte 23 der Kontaktelemente 20-4, 20-5 überkreuzt angeordnet. Die Kontaktflächen 41, 42 der Kontaktelemente 20-3, 20-5 können einander überlappen und ein Paar bilden, während andererseits die Kontaktflächen 43, 44 der Kontaktelemente 20-4, 20-6 überlappen und ein weiteres Paar bilden.In order to improve the transmission properties of the contact set 10, at least two of the contact elements 20, in particular exactly four contact elements 20, for example, the four central contact elements 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6, at a free end of the third sections 23 a compensation surface 41, 42, 43, 44 on. For this purpose, the third sections 23 of the corresponding contact elements 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6 are formed longer than the third sections 23 of the contact elements 20-1, 20-2, 20-7, 20-8, which have no compensation surface. The compensation surface 41 is arranged on the third contact element 20-3, the compensation surface 42 on the fifth contact element 20-5, the compensation surface 43 on the fourth contact element 20-4 and the compensation surface 44 on the sixth contact element 20-6. Two compensation surfaces 41, 42 each; 43, 44 are arranged such that they at least partially overlap. For this purpose, in particular the free ends of the third sections 23 of the corresponding contact elements 20-3, 20-4, 20-5, 20-6 towards each other. For example, the free ends of the contact elements 20-4, 20-5 are bent. In particular, the free ends of the third portions 23 of the contact elements 20-4, 20-5 are arranged crossed. The contact surfaces 41, 42 of the contact elements 20-3, 20-5 may overlap one another and form a pair, while on the other hand, the contact surfaces 43, 44 of the contact elements 20-4, 20-6 overlap and form another pair.

Zwischen den Paaren von Kontaktelementen 41, 42; 43, 44 ist jeweils eine Isolierfolie 46, 47 angeordnet. Die beiden Kompensationsflächen 41, 42 mit der dazwischenliegenden Isolierfolie 46 bilden ein erstes Kompensationselement, insbesondere einen ersten Kondensator, während die beiden Kompensationsflächen 43, 44 mit der dazwischenliegenden Folie 47 ein zweites Kompensationselement, insbesondere einen weiteren Kondensator, bilden. Zur Stabilisierung sind die beiden Kompensationsflächen 41, 42 mit der dazwischenliegenden Isolierfolie 46 von einem ersten isolierenden Gehäuse 48 umgeben, während die Kompensationsflächen 43, 44 mit der dazwischenliegenden Folie 47 von einem zweiten isolierenden Gehäuse 49 umgeben sind. Die isolierenden Gehäuse 48, 49 werden vorzugsweise gespritzt.Between the pairs of contact elements 41, 42; 43, 44, an insulating film 46, 47 is arranged in each case. The two compensation surfaces 41, 42 with the interposed insulating film 46 form a first compensation element, in particular a first capacitor, while the two compensation surfaces 43, 44 with the intermediate film 47 form a second compensation element, in particular a further capacitor. For stabilization, the two compensation surfaces 41, 42 are surrounded by the insulating film 46 lying between them by a first insulating housing 48, while the compensation surfaces 43, 44 are surrounded by the intermediate film 47 by a second insulating housing 49. The insulating housings 48, 49 are preferably sprayed.

Die Kompensationsflächen 41, 42, 43, 44 sind in einer Ausführungsform einstückig an den Kontaktelementen 20-3, 20-5, 20-4, 20-6 angeordnet. Dadurch ist es insbesondere möglich, die Kontaktelemente 20 als Stanz-Biege-Teile auszubilden.The compensation surfaces 41, 42, 43, 44 are arranged in one embodiment in one piece on the contact elements 20-3, 20-5, 20-4, 20-6. This makes it possible in particular to form the contact elements 20 as stamped and bent parts.

Die Übertragungseigenschaften von elektronischen Komponenten werden in Kategorien eingeteilt, wobei derzeit die Kategorien 5, 6 und 6A besonders gängig sind. Durch die Kompensationsflächen 41, 42, 43, 44 können beispielsweise die Übertragungseigenschaften des Kontaktsatzes 10 um eine oder mehrere Kategorien gesteigert werden. Insbesondere ist der Kontaktsatz 10 derart ausgebildet, dass er mit den Kompensationsflächen 41, 42, 43, 44 die Übertragungseigenschaften der Kategorie 6A erfüllt.The transmission characteristics of electronic components are categorized, with categories 5, 6 and 6A currently being particularly popular. By the compensation surfaces 41, 42, 43, 44, for example, the transmission characteristics of the contact set 10 by one or more categories be increased. In particular, the contact set 10 is designed in such a way that it complies with the category 6A transmission characteristics with the compensation surfaces 41, 42, 43, 44.

Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen die Anschlussbuchse 50 mit dem Buchsengehäuse 52, in welche der Kontaktsatz 10 gemäß Figur 1 eingesetzt ist. Die Anschlussbuchse 50 weist an einer Vorderseite eine Aufnahmeöffnung 54 auf, in welche ein Stecker eines anzuschließenden Kabels einführbar ist. Der Stecker ist insbesondere derart einführbar, dass Kontaktelemente des in die Anschlussbuchse 50 einzuführenden Steckers die Kontaktelemente 20, insbesondere die dritten Abschnitte 23 der Kontaktelemente 20, kontaktieren. Der Kontaktsatz 10 ist derart in dem Buchsengehäuse 52 angeordnet, dass der zwischen dem Isolationskörper 30 und dem dritten Abschnitt 23 gebildete spitze Winkel sich zu einer Wand 56, die der Aufnahmeöffnung 54 gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist, öffnet. Dazu wird der Kontaktsatz 10 von der Wand 56 her in das Buchsengehäuse 52 eingeschoben, wo der Kontaktsatz 10 mittels der Rastelemente 34 in dem Buchsengehäuse 52 verrastet.The Figures 3 and 4 show the connection socket 50 with the socket housing 52, in which the contact set 10 according to FIG. 1 is used. The connection socket 50 has on a front side a receiving opening 54 into which a plug of a cable to be connected can be inserted. In particular, the plug can be introduced in such a way that contact elements of the plug to be inserted into the connection socket 50 contact the contact elements 20, in particular the third sections 23 of the contact elements 20. The contact set 10 is disposed in the female housing 52 such that the acute angle formed between the insulating body 30 and the third portion 23 opens to a wall 56 opposite the female opening 54. For this purpose, the contact set 10 is inserted from the wall 56 into the socket housing 52 where the contact set 10 is latched by means of the latching elements 34 in the socket housing 52.

Eine derartige Anschlussbuchse 50 kann insbesondere in Anschlussdosen oder Verteilfeldern, welche auch als Rangierfelder, Patchfelder oder bezeichnet genannt werden, zur Anwendung kommen. Bei diesen können auf einer Basisleiterplatte eine oder mehrere Anschlussbuchsen 50 angeordnet werden. Die Basisleiterplatte kann wenigstens ein Anschlusselement und wenigstens ein Verbindungselement zur Herstellung einer elektrisch leitenden Verbindung des ersten Abschnitts 21 eines der Kontaktelemente 20 des Kontaktsatzes 10 mit dem Anschlusselement aufweisen, wobei ein erstes Kabel in der Anschlussbuchse 50 und ein zweites Kabel, insbesondere ein stationär verlegtes Kabel, an dem Anschlusselement anschließbar ist. Die Basisleiterplatte weist vorteilhafterweise wenigstens ein Kompensationselement auf, um eine zusätzliche Kompensation von Störeffekten auf der Basisleiterplatte zu ermöglichen.Such a connection socket 50 can be used in particular in junction boxes or distribution fields, which are also known as patch panels, patch panels or designated. In these, one or more connection sockets 50 can be arranged on a base circuit board. The base circuit board may comprise at least one connection element and at least one connection element for producing an electrically conductive connection of the first section 21 of one of the contact elements 20 of the contact set 10 with the connection element, wherein a first cable in the connection socket 50 and a second cable, in particular a stationary laid Cable to which connection element can be connected.
