Definitions

  • the invention is based on a connector according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a system made up of a plug-in block and a printed circuit board connector according to the preamble of claim 9.
  • Such connectors are used for the transmission of data signals, but also for the transmission of currents. Currents of one ampere and more can definitely be transmitted with such connectors.
  • the EP 2 417 675 B1 shows a multi-pin connector whose connected cable has several individual conductors that are electrically contacted via insulation displacement connectors on the connector.
  • insulation displacement connectors As a rule, only so-called stranded conductors are connected with insulation displacement connectors. So-called solid conductors can be less reliably electrically contacted using insulation displacement technology. Since the insulation displacement terminals need a certain size in order to make reliable contact with the conductors, it is very difficult to achieve an even smaller design for such connectors. In addition, the conductor cross-sections that can be connected are restricted. An IDC connection cannot be detached and reconnected as often as desired.
  • the DE 196 04 432 A1 shows a contact between a connector and a printed circuit board.
  • the WO 2011/103874 A1 shows a connector with a cable with at least one insulated conductor (325), the connector (300) having a conductive rubber (302), the at least one conductor (325') being connected to at least one conductive layer of the conductive rubber (325) via contact shoes (328) 302) is fixed in an electrically conductive manner.
  • the contact shoes (328) are pressed onto the conductive rubber (4) to make electrical contact with the conductors (325).
  • the U.S. 2007/0227757 A1 shows cylindrical connectors that are used, for example, in a circuit breaker.
  • the connectors each have contact elements consisting of a conductive elastomer. Conductors are terminated to the contact elements by drilling them into the conductive elastomer.
  • connection technologies all have the disadvantage that they are unsuitable for connectors that have to process very high data rates.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a connector that can reliably transport data signals and currents. At the same time, the connector should be easy to assemble and have a small design.
  • the invention relates to a plug connector to which a cable with at least one electrical conductor located therein is connected is.
  • a so-called multi-core cable is used in many applications.
  • a multi-core cable contains at least two electrical conductors that are insulated from one another. Insulation is typically achieved by the conductors having their own plastic coating.
  • a cable with at least two individual conductors insulated from one another can be connected to the connector, the connector having a conductive rubber with at least one conductive layer, but preferably at least two conductive layers.
  • the plug connector has a conductive rubber with individual conductive layers for connecting the individual conductors. This connection technology is particularly compact and at the same time suitable for a large number of conductor cross-sections.
  • a conductive rubber essentially consists of an elastically deformable material with alternating conductive and non-conductive layers. Conductive particles are introduced into the conductive layers. However, a conductive polymer itself can also form such a conductive layer. A non-conductive layer is usually provided around the edge layers of the conductive rubber.
  • a conductor For electrical contacting, a conductor is brought into physical contact with at least one conductive layer of the conductive rubber. However, it is also possible for a conductor to touch at least two or more such conductive layers at the same time. This circumstance depends on the so-called conductor diameter and the so-called pitch of the conductive rubber.
  • the invention further relates to a system consisting of a plug-in block and a printed circuit board connector, wherein at least two solid or stranded conductors are fixed within the plug-in block, parallel to one another and with their respective conductor ends aligning a directional vector parallel and/or orthogonal to the plug-in direction.
  • a conductive rubber is arranged either in the plug-in block or in the circuit board connector, which serves as a connection technology for the individual conductors of the cable or for contacting the conductor tracks of the circuit board.
  • a cable with at least two individual, insulated conductors can be connected to the connector according to the invention. This is also referred to as a multi-core cable.
  • the connector has a conductive rubber with at least two conductive layers. From the DE 25 20 590 C2 such conductive rubbers are known.
  • Conductive rubbers consist of an elastomeric material which has alternating conductive and non-conductive layers. As a rule, conductive materials, such as gold and/or silver and/or carbon particles, are embedded in the conductive layers.
  • a conductive rubber can also be produced by embedding the aforementioned materials in a silicone material.
  • a specialist assumes good conductivity as soon as the material gold is used.
  • a conductive rubber containing gold-coated brass wires was tested. When the conductive rubber was severely compressed, these gold-plated brass wires tended to break, reducing conductivity.
  • conductive rubber, which contains the above gold material performs worse in connectors, in particular in connectors which are intended for the transmission of high data rates, than a conductive rubber which contains silver material, preferably silver particles. Therefore, conductive rubber with silver material is particularly preferred.
  • Such a conductive rubber has shown very good insulation and volume resistances, particularly in the high-frequency range. The material shows good current-carrying capacity values in the connector, even under harsh climatic conditions.
  • the conductive function of the individual conductive layers of the conductive rubber is made possible by the fact that the individual layers are compressed or pressed together. As a result, the homogeneously distributed conductive particles are brought into physical contact and thus form a closed conductive path within the conductive layer.
  • a multi-core cable with several individual conductors is usually connected to the connector.
  • the invention is described using at least two conductors as an example. However, any number of such conductors can be included in the cable.
  • the number of connection contacts, the conductive layers of the conductive rubber and the contact elements then increases accordingly.
  • the individual conductors can each be fixed in an electrically conductive manner to a conductive layer of the conductive rubber.
  • One conductor is electrically conductively connected to a first conductive layer of the conductive rubber, while another conductor is electrically conductively connected to another conductive layer of the conductive rubber.
  • the individual conductors of the connected cable are electrically connected to the individual conductive layers of the conductive rubber.
  • the electrical signals or currents can be transmitted directly to the contact elements of the connector via the conductive layers of the conductive rubber. It However, other options can also be selected, as will be explained further below.
  • a single conductor it is also possible for a single conductor to be conductively fixable to a plurality of conductive layers of the conductive rubber at the same time. Another conductor can then be connected to several other conductive layers of the conductive rubber. If several conductive layers are involved in contacting a single conductor, connection contact or contact element, this is also referred to as layer groups.
  • a corresponding partner for example a contact element
  • a contact element must be electrically connected to the same layer group. It can happen that not all of the conductive layers contribute to the electrical contacting between the conductor and the contact element due to an imperfect positioning of the conductor and/or contact element. It is important that the conductor or contact element has no conductive layer in common with an adjacent conductor or contact element. The spacing of the conductors and contact elements must be selected depending on the pitch of the conductive rubber. The conductors and contact elements must correspond to one another.
  • the pitch of the conductive rubber is usually at least a factor of 20 smaller than the distance between conductors and contact elements. As a result, the packaging does not have to be absolutely precise.
  • the connector has at least one connection contact.
  • the connector has at least two connection contacts, each of which can be fixed in an electrically conductive manner to a conductive layer or to a plurality of conductive layers of the conductive rubber.
  • the connection contacts are each equipped with a Conductor end of a conductor can be electrically contacted.
  • the individual conductors of the multi-core cable are not connected directly to the individual conductive layers or the conductive layer groups of the conductive rubber, but via so-called connection contacts.
  • the plug connector has at least one, but preferably at least two, contact elements.
  • the conductors can each be contacted with a connection contact.
  • the connection contacts are in turn electrically contacted on one side of the conductive rubber with a conductive layer or with several conductive layers and on the other side of the conductive rubber the contact elements are each contacted with a corresponding conductive layer or with corresponding conductive layers of the conductive rubber.
  • the electrical signals or currents are ultimately transmitted from the conductor via the connection contact, then via the conductive layer or the conductive layers of the conductive rubber to the contact element.
  • the individual conductors can be reversibly connected to the connector, in contrast to insulation displacement and crimping technology: pressing the conductor ends with the conductive rubber is absolutely non-destructive and can be carried out reversibly.
  • no additional tool is required to assemble such a connector, which is the case with a crimp or screw connection.
  • An additional advantage is that a wide variety of conductor cross-sections can be connected can.
  • solid and stranded conductors can be used equally.
  • the individual conductors are electrically conductively connected directly to the associated contact elements via the conductive rubber.
  • the conductors can each be electrically conductively fixed to a conductive layer or to several conductive layers of the conductive rubber, and on the other side of the conductive rubber, the contact elements are each contacted with a corresponding conductive layer or with several corresponding conductive layers of the conductive rubber.
  • Such a design can be implemented in a particularly space-saving manner.
  • a system consisting of a plug-in block and a printed circuit board connector is also proposed within the scope of the invention.
  • At least one solid or stranded conductor but particularly preferably at least two solid or stranded conductors, is fixed within the plug-in block, parallel to one another and each with its conductor end aligned with a directional vector parallel and/or orthogonal to the plug-in direction.
  • the plug-in block advantageously has a conductive rubber, with the conductor ends each being contacted with a conductive layer or with a plurality of conductive layers of the conductive rubber.
  • the circuit board connector has a conductive rubber, with one conductive layer or several conductive layers of the conductive rubber being aligned with the different conductor ends of the solid conductor or stranded conductor in the insertion direction.
  • the conductive rubber serves as a connection option for the individual conductors on one side.
  • the conductive layers of the conductive rubber form what is known as the plug-in face of the plug-in block.
  • the plug-in block then assumes the function of a connector.
  • the printed circuit board connector has at least two contact elements, each with a contact end and a printed circuit board connection end, the respective contact ends being contacted with a conductive layer or with a plurality of conductive layers of the conductive rubber.
  • the printed circuit board connection ends are, for example, soldered onto a printed circuit board and are thereby electrically connected to associated conductor tracks.
  • one conductor, one connection contact and one contact element are always connected to only one conductive layer 5, 5' of the conductive rubber 4.
  • several conductive layers 5, 5' are usually connected to one of the aforementioned elements at the same time.
  • Such a procedure has the advantage that the assembly of such a plug connector 1 does not have to be as precise. If, for example, 5 conductive layers are covered by a conductor, but the associated contact element 8, 8' is arranged somewhat offset, but still has three conductive layers in common with conductor 7, then there is a conductive connection between conductor 7 and contact element 8 via the conductive rubber 4 nevertheless guaranteed. This makes such a connector particularly easy to assemble in the field.
