Definitions

  • the invention relates to a female header or a 90 ° pin header or a female and male header for an electrical connector, each consisting of an insulating body front part provided with a plurality of contact elements and an insulating body rear part pluggably connected thereto, at least the front part of the Socket strip consists of at least two modules and simple, double, quadruple, eightfold etc. modules form a row of modules.
  • Socket strips have become known from EP 0 408 212 A1. Furthermore, is the mentioned module series, in which the next larger module is twice the length and number of contact elements compared to the next smaller module, known or standardized on its own.
  • the modules are plugged onto a perforated plate, the perforation corresponding to the geometric arrangement of the contact elements of the modules. All modules are then held together by means of an L-shaped rail and locking clips, the rail itself being held in a form-fitting manner on the plate. This creates a relatively stable socket strip.
  • this socket strip is that, depending on the total length of all modules of the respective connector, the L-shaped rail must be cut from a meter-long piece or manufactured to this length from the beginning. Given the large number of customer requests, the resulting, often small series of connectors of different lengths lead to relatively high manufacturing costs. At most, if a particularly large number of a specific connector is to be produced, the separate production of the L-shaped rail is not so important, especially for this series. But this is rather rare.
  • the prior art on which the invention is based consists of individual modules, each with an associated or molded-on rear part, which, however, can have different sizes, for example a length of 12 mm for a 24-pole module and 24 mm for a 48-pole module, for a 96-pole module 48 mm, for a 192-pole module 96 mm etc. They are also individually mounted on printed circuit boards. For example, the user has to order four different parts, receive four different parts, check them, keep them in stock and process them. The work steps are that he has to reach into a magazine four times, grip four times, place the parts on the circuit board four times, join the parts four times and press four times.
  • socket strips or 90 ° pin strips of almost any length, regardless of the number of series or the order volume, can be produced at the lowest cost, so that only a part has to be handled.
  • any number of contact elements are conceivable, the simplest module preferably having 24 contact elements, in several rows arranged one above the other, e.g. four rows of six arranged one above the other.
  • the double module therefore has 48 or more contact elements, etc.
  • the largest module currently in use in the insulating body front part is an eight-way module with 8 times 24 or 96 or more contact elements. So if a socket strip e.g. Should have 200 contacts, the insulating body front part can be easily constructed by using an eight-way module and a single module. Accordingly, it is best to use an eight-way module and a single module for the back of the insulating body. Some of the contacts e.g. of the single module is available as reserve contacts.
  • the single module does not necessarily have to have 24 contacts or 30 contacts for 5 rows or correspondingly more contacts for more rows or contact elements, but that there may also be fewer, which is the case, for example, if one Combination of different types of contact elements is required.
  • the following connector strips can be created, for example: Female Solder Signal, Female Solder Power, Female Solder Signal + Power combined and other special modules or Female Press-fit Signal, Female Press-fit Power, Female Press-fit Signal + Power combined and other special modules.
  • the 90 ° pin header for example, the following options are available: Male 90 ° signal, male 90 ° power, male 90 ° signal + power combined and other special modules.
  • socket strips or 90 ° pin strips with 24 to 528 contacts can be made create using eg two to 22 or more modules. This means that practically every customer request can be met, even for small series, without incurring additional costs compared to the large series.
  • a further development of the invention provides that in the case of one of two modules of the insulating body front part of different lengths, the modules of the insulating body rear part likewise are of different lengths, the longer module of the insulating body rear part engaging over the joint of the modules of the insulating body front part or vice versa. So you have two modules of the same length, but you do not attach the long back part to the long front part directly, but to the short front part, so that it overlaps the joint between the other two modules, resulting in good stability of the entire socket strip or pin strip leads. The same applies to a female header or pin header, which is made up of more than two modules. In any case, the joint between adjacent modules of the front part should be overlapped by a module of the rear part or vice versa.
  • At least the front part of the socket strip is constructed from at least two modules. This does not rule out that the front part of the 90 ° pin header is also made from at least two modules.
  • the invention is also very advantageous if, instead of a front part of the 90 ° pin strip constructed from several modules, a one-piece front part is provided which extends over the entire 90 ° pin strip. Such production may make sense for large series.
  • a design of a 90 ° pin strip is described in claim 3.
  • the back part of this knife or pin strip in contrast to the two previously known embodiments mentioned at the outset, consists of claim 1 at least two modules of the same or different lengths, the latter being usually the more common case.
  • the socket strip 1 of FIG. 2 essentially consists of the insulating body front part 2 and the insulating body rear part 3, both of which are pluggably connected to one another in a known and therefore not shown and described manner.
  • the direction of insertion is symbolized by arrows 4 and 5.
  • the insulating body front part 2 receives in a known manner the contact elements 6, the shape, size, grouping and placement in the insulating body of which is also known prior art, but the known designs differ from one another in details.
  • the Socket strip 1 is mechanically and electrically connected to a printed circuit board 7, for example, in which respect known prior art can also be used.
  • the free ends 8 of the contact elements 6 then pass through corresponding groups of holes in the printed circuit board 7.
  • the electrical connection is made by soldering or solderless connection techniques, for example pressing in, the mechanical connection, for example by melting the free ends of plastic pins which protrude beyond the underside of the printed circuit board 7 , or positive plastic pins or solderable connections.
  • the insulating body front part of the socket strip 1 consists of modules which differ from one another in terms of their length 9.
  • the smallest module is shown at the bottom right. It has e.g. four rows, each with six insertion openings 10.
  • the next largest module has a double length and number of contacts. Additional modules can be four and eight times longer. Larger modules, i.e. twice as long, are usually not used. Apart from the length, all other dimensions of the modules of different lengths are the same.
  • the socket strip of Figures 1 and 2 consists of a single module 11 and a quadruple module 12.
  • the total length therefore corresponds to five times the length of a single module.
  • the insulating body rear part 3 is also made up of modules, the length 13 of the single module 14 corresponding to the length 9 of the simple module 11 of the insulating body front part 2. The same applies to the double, quadruple module etc.
  • the insulating body rear part 3 is also composed of a single module 14 and a quadruple module 15.
  • the quadruple module is not installed behind the other quadruple module, rather the longer module, in this case the quadruple module, which is flush with the outside of the single module of the front part 2, covers the joint 16 of the insulating body front part 2. Accordingly, the joint 17 of the two modules of the insulating body rear part 3 is then located on the rear side of the quadruple module 12 of the front part 2.
  • the single module 11 does not have 24 contact elements, but a smaller number and additional, in particular larger contact elements for the power connection, while the "normal" contact elements serve for signal connection.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a 90 ° knife or pin strip, analogously to FIGS. 1 and 2 as an exploded drawing and according to FIG. 4 as an assembly drawing.
  • This pin strip also consists of an insulating body front part and an insulating body rear part 3. The choice of the same reference number shows that the insulating body rear part 3 of this pin strip corresponds to that of the socket strip in FIG.
  • the design of the insulating body front part 18 is already known as such with regard to its shape, dimensions and contact arrangement, as well as contact design.
  • the free ends 8 of its contact elements 6 also penetrate here, for example, a printed circuit board 7 to which they are electrically and mechanically connected in the manner described.
  • the plug-in openings 10 of the socket strip correspond to the pin-like ends 19 of the contact elements 6 of the 90 ° knife strip or pin strip in terms of number and arrangement, so that the socket strip 1 of FIGS establish the electrical connection between the printed circuit board of the socket strip and the printed circuit board of the 90 ° pin strip.
  • both the insulating body front part 2 and the insulating body rear part 3 of the 90 ° pin strip are constructed from individual modules.
  • the socket strip also apply mutatis mutandis to the 90 ° pin or knife strip.
  • the structure of the back part 3 is in any case carried out by means of modules from a row of modules, so that the universality is retained. All other advantages, such as large quantities.
  • the stability of a one-piece insulating body front part 18 is slightly higher than with an assembled front part, however, this higher stability is not required in most cases because the assembled socket strip and pin strip with an insulating body front part from modules ensures high stability.
