Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Klemmfeder zur Montage auf einer Leiterplatte sowie eine Leiterplatte mit einer Leiterbahn und einer solchen Klemmfeder.The present invention relates to a clamping spring for mounting on a printed circuit board and a printed circuit board with a conductor track and such a clamping spring.
Bei der Bestückung von Leiterplatten ist es heutzutage üblich, dass kleine und kleinste Bauteile automatisch gepickt und auf die Leiterplatte geklebt werden, um dann in einem Folgeprozess mit der Leiterplatte verlötet zu werden.In the assembly of printed circuit boards, it is common today for small and very small components to be picked automatically and glued to the printed circuit board in order to be subsequently soldered to the printed circuit board in a subsequent process.
Große Anschlussklemmen lassen sich oft nicht in diesen Prozess integrieren und werden nachträglich in Handlötung auf die Leiterplatte gebracht. Dieser Schritt ist mit hohen Kosten verbunden. Oft ist es lediglich erforderlich, einen einzelnen Leiter mit einer Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte oder mit einem Gerät zu verbinden, so dass für die Anschlussklemmen entwickelte automatische Verfahren nicht effizient durchgeführt werden können.Large terminals are often not integrated in this process and are subsequently transferred to the PCB by hand soldering. This step is associated with high costs. Often, it is only necessary to connect a single conductor to a printed circuit board trace or to a device so that automatic processes developed for the terminals can not be efficiently performed.

Ausgehend von dem oben genannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Klemmfeder der oben genannten Art anzugeben, die einen einfachen Aufbau aufweist, einfach herzustellen ist und eine einfache Handhabung zum Einführen und/oder Entfernen eines Leiters ermöglicht.Based on the above-mentioned prior art, the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a clamping spring of the type mentioned above, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and allows easy handling for insertion and / or removal of a conductor.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist somit eine Klemmfeder zur Montage auf einer Leiterplatte angegeben. Die Klemmfeder umfasst einen Federschenkel zur klemmenden Kontaktierung eines Leiters, einen Kontaktbereich zur Kontaktierung der Leiterplatte, wobei die Klemmfeder einteilig ausgeführt ist, der Federschenkel ein Betätigungselement zur Aufhebung der Klemmung aufweist, und die Klemmfeder ein Führungselement aufweist, das derart angeordnet ist, dass zwischen dem Federschenkel und dem Führungselement ein Werkzeug zur Betätigung des Betätigungselements einführbar ist.According to the invention thus a clamping spring for mounting on a printed circuit board is specified. The clamping spring comprises a spring leg for clamping contacting a conductor, a contact region for contacting the printed circuit board, wherein the clamping spring is made in one piece, the spring leg has an actuating element for canceling the clamping, and the clamping spring has a guide element which is arranged such that between the Spring leg and the guide element, a tool for actuating the actuating element is insertable.
Erfindungsgemäß ist außerdem eine Leiterplatte mit einer Leiterbahn und einer oben angegebenen Klemmfeder vorgesehen, wobei die Klemmfeder elektrisch leitend mit der Leiterbahn verbunden ist.According to the invention, a circuit board is also provided with a conductor track and a clamping spring specified above, wherein the clamping spring is electrically conductively connected to the conductor track.
Grundidee der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es also, die Klemmfeder so auszugestalten, dass sie selbst eine Führung eines Werkzeugs zur Betätigung des Federschenkels ermöglicht. Dadurch kann der Federschenkel zuverlässig betätigt werden, und ein Abrutschen des Werkzeugs bei der Betätigung wird vermieden. Zusätzliche Bauelemente zur Führung des Werkzeugs sind nicht erforderlich. Gleichzeitig ist die Herstellung der Klemmfeder einfach, da sie einteilig ausgeführt ist. Die Anbringung der Klemmfeder kann einfach durchgeführt werden, indem ein Bereich der Klemmfeder mit der Leiterplatte verlötet wird. Dazu wird die Klemmfeder auf eine Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte aufgesetzt und mit dieser verlötet. Vorzugsweise wird die Klemmfeder mit einem Bereich mit einer ebenen Kontaktfläche auf die Leiterplatte aufgesetzt, um den Lötvorgang zuverlässig durchführen zu können. Die Klemmfeder wird vorzugsweise im SMT-Lötverfahren auf der Leiterplatte angebracht. Dabei wird zunächst eine Lötpaste auf die Leiterplatte aufgetragen, und die Klemmfeder auf die Lötpaste aufgesetzt, so dass die Klemmfeder an der Leiterplatte anhaftet. In einem anschließenden Lötschritt, beispielsweise in einem Löttunnel, wird die Lötverbindung zwischen der Klemmfeder und der Leiterplatte hergestellt, wobei die Lötpaste das Lot für das Löten bereitstellt.The basic idea of the present invention is therefore to configure the clamping spring in such a way that it itself enables guidance of a tool for actuating the spring leg. As a result, the spring leg can be reliably operated, and slippage of the tool during actuation is avoided. Additional components for guiding the tool are not required. At the same time, the production of the clamping spring is simple because it is made in one piece. The attachment of the clamping spring can be easily performed by a portion of the clamping spring is soldered to the circuit board. For this purpose, the clamping spring is placed on a conductor track of the circuit board and soldered to it. Preferably, the clamping spring is placed with an area with a flat contact surface on the circuit board in order to perform the soldering reliably. The clamping spring is preferably mounted on the circuit board in the SMT soldering process. In this case, a solder paste is first applied to the circuit board, and the clamping spring placed on the solder paste, so that the clamping spring adheres to the circuit board. In a subsequent soldering step, for example in a solder tunnel, the solder connection between the clamping spring and the circuit board is made, wherein the solder paste provides the solder for soldering.
Zusätzlich kann die Klemmfeder in einem Verbindungsbereich Bereiche der Leiterplatte überdecken, die keine Leiterbahn aufweisen, oder die Abmessungen der Leiterbahn können über die Abmessungen der Klemmfeder im Verbindungsbereich hinausgehen. Die Ausgestaltung der Leiterplatte mit Leiterbahnen und optionalen weiteren Komponenten ist prinzipiell beliebig und ohne Einfluss auf die Klemmfeder und deren Verbindung mit der Leiterplatte. Die Klemmung kann auf unterschiedliche Weise erfolgen, wobei ein Gegenklemmelement zum Klemmen des Leiters beispielsweise durch einen Anschlag gebildet werden kann, gegen den der eingeführte Leiter durch den Klemmschenkel gedrückt wird.In addition, in a connection region, the clamping spring can cover regions of the printed circuit board which do not have a conductor track, or the dimensions of the conductor track can go beyond the dimensions of the clamping spring in the connection region. The design of the printed circuit board with printed conductors and optional other components is in principle arbitrary and without influence on the clamping spring and its connection to the circuit board. The clamping can be done in different ways, with a counter-clamping element for clamping the conductor can be formed for example by a stop against which the inserted conductor is pressed by the clamping leg.
Die Klemmfeder ist aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material gefertigt. Vorzugsweise weist die Klemmfeder ein Stahlmaterial auf, besonders bevorzugt Federstahl, wodurch ein einfaches und zuverlässiges Klemmen des Leiters ermöglicht wird. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Klemmfeder eine Oberflächenbeschichtung aus einem guten elektrisch leitenden Material auf, so dass die Klemmfeder eine gute elektrische Leitfähigkeit aufweist. Die Oberflächenbeschichtung ist vorzugsweise eine galvanisch aufgebrachte Kupferschicht, die besonders bevorzugt verzinnt ist. Dadurch lässt sich die Klemmfeder einfach verlöten, beispielsweise in einem Reflow-Prozess. Alternativ ist die Klemmfeder aus Bronze hergestellt.The clamping spring is made of an electrically conductive material. Preferably, the clamping spring on a steel material, particularly preferably spring steel, whereby a simple and reliable clamping of the conductor is made possible. Particularly preferably, the clamping spring on a surface coating of a good electrically conductive material, so that the clamping spring has a good electrical conductivity. The surface coating is preferably a galvanically applied copper layer, which is particularly preferably tin-plated. As a result, the clamping spring can be easily soldered, for example in a reflow process. Alternatively, the clamping spring is made of bronze.
Der Federschenkel ist vorzugsweise derart angeordnet und ausgeführt, dass er eine Klemmkant zum kontaktieren des eingeschobenen Leiter aufweist. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Federschenkel derart angeordnet, dass er einen Winkel schräg zur Einführrichtung des Leiters aufweist. Dadurch kann beispielsweise eine Klemmkante an seinem freien Ende den Kontakt bilden. Der Federschenkel ist weiter bevorzugt derart angeordnet und ausgeführt, dass er eine Ablaufschräge für den Leiter bildet. Dadurch wird das Einführen des Leiters erleichtert. Eine innenliegende Anordnung des freien Endes des Federschenkels kann die Führung des Werkzeugs erleichtern.The spring leg is preferably arranged and designed such that it has a clamping edge for contacting the inserted conductor. Particularly preferably, the spring leg is arranged such that it has an angle oblique to the insertion direction of the conductor. As a result, for example, form a clamping edge at its free end the contact. The spring leg is further preferably arranged and designed such that it forms a drainage slope for the conductor. This facilitates the insertion of the conductor. An internal arrangement of the free end of the spring leg can facilitate the guidance of the tool.
Zusätzlich kann ein Gehäuse über die Klemmfeder montiert werden, um einen Berührschutz zu realisieren. Das Gehäuse wird vorzugsweise nach dem Löten auf die Klemmfeder gesteckt.In addition, a housing can be mounted over the clamping spring to realize a contact protection. The housing is preferably inserted after soldering to the clamping spring.
In der Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Betätigungselement an einem freien Ende des Federschenkels angeordnet. Am freien Ende ist die Hebelwirkung des Werkzeugs besonders groß, wodurch die Betätigung mit dem Werkzeug erleichtert wird.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Klemmschenkel gegen das Anschlagelement vorgespannt.The clamping edge is preferably formed by a free end of the clamping leg. Particularly preferably, the clamping spring has a stop element which forms a stop for the clamping leg. Thereby, the clamping leg can be fixed in place so that it forms a fixed counter-clamping element, even if the clamping spring is made of an elastic material. Particularly preferably, the clamping leg is biased against the stop element.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bildet der Klemmschenkel eine Einführschräge für den Leiter. Dadurch wird das Einführen des Leiters erleichtert. Alternativ kann auch der Federschenkel eine Einführschräge für den Leiter bilden. Besonders bevorzugt bilden sowohl der Klemmschenkel als auch der Federschenkel eine Einführschräge für den Leiter. Die beiden Schenkel können somit beispielsweise einen Einführtrichter bilden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the clamping leg forms an insertion bevel for the conductor. This facilitates the insertion of the conductor. Alternatively, the spring leg can form an insertion bevel for the conductor. Particularly preferably, both the clamping leg and the spring leg form an insertion bevel for the conductor. The two legs can thus form, for example, an insertion funnel.
In der Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Führungselement als Verbindungselement zwischen dem Klemmschenkel und dem Federschenkel ausgeführt. Somit kann die Klemmfeder einen einfachen Aufbau mit wenigen funktionalen Abschnitten bzw. Komponenten aufweisen.In the embodiment of the invention, the guide element is designed as a connecting element between the clamping leg and the spring leg. Thus, the clamping spring may have a simple structure with few functional sections or components.
In der Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst die Klemmfeder zwei Führungselemente, die jeweils als Verbindungselement zwischen dem Klemmschenkel und dem Federschenkel ausgeführt sind. Somit können der Klemmschenkel und der Federschenkel besonders zuverlässig miteinander verbunden werden.

Thus, the clamping leg and the spring leg can be connected to each other particularly reliable. Preferably, the two guide elements are arranged such that between the spring leg, the clamping leg and the two Guide elements an insertion region for insertion of the conductor is formed.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Klemmfeder an ihrer Montageseite zur Positionierung auf der Leiterplatte wenigstens ein Lötbein auf. Das Lötbein kann in eine Bohrung der Leiterplatte eingesetzt werden, um eine zuverlässige Positionierung der Klemmfeder auf der Leiterplatte zu bewirken. Entsprechend kann die Leiterplatte mit der aufgesetzten Klemmfeder vor dem Löten bewegt werden, ohne dass die Klemmfeder auf der Leiterplatte verrutschen kann. Vorzugsweise ist die Bohrung der Leiterplatte als Kontaktbohrung ausgeführt, so dass eine Kontaktierung der Leiterplatte erfolgt. Die Kontaktierung kann zusätzlich oder alternativ zur der Kontaktierung durch die Anbringung der Kontaktfeder auf der Leiterbahn erfolgen.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the clamping spring on its mounting side for positioning on the circuit board at least one soldering leg. The Lötbein can be inserted into a bore of the circuit board to effect a reliable positioning of the clamping spring on the circuit board. Accordingly, the circuit board can be moved with the attached clamping spring before soldering, without the clamping spring can slip on the circuit board. Preferably, the bore of the circuit board is designed as a contact bore, so that a contacting of the circuit board takes place. The contacting can be done additionally or alternatively to the contacting by the attachment of the contact spring on the conductor track.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Klemmfeder als Blechelement ausgeführt und durch Stanzen und Biegen gefertigt. Dies ermöglicht die Bereitstellung einer Klemmfeder mit einem einfachen Aufbau und eine kostengünstige Herstellung.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the clamping spring is designed as a sheet metal element and manufactured by punching and bending.
