Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printed circuit board connector for making electrical contact for two parallel, spaced printed circuit boards with surface-mountable interconnecting elements for mutual engagement having a mating side and a soldering side.
  • Such a connection is required to electrically contact two parallel aligned printed circuit boards by means of a plug-in connection, wherein the contacting is to take place at arbitrary locations from printed circuit board to printed circuit board and wherein signals in the GHz range are to be transmitted without interference.
  • Circuit board connectors for a "board-to-board” connection are available as circular single connectors or as elongate series connectors with multiple side-by-side contacts. Wherein plug-in connections with individual contacts are predominantly designed as a turned part, the production of which is relatively expensive.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to form a printed circuit board connector of the type mentioned in that by means of a compact connection element to design a high-frequency, electrical connection between two circuit boards, each connection element should be surface mounted connected to the circuit board.
  • the connecting element has a multi-sided symmetrical, collar-shaped basic body, that notches are provided in two opposite corner regions, a first corner region and a second corner region of the base body, and that within the base body, in a third corner region between the two notches , a contact holder is provided for at least one pointing to the center of the body electrical signal contact.
  • the connecting element is preferably designed as a square, hermaphroditic plug-in part, that is, it can be plugged with a similar plug-in part. But there are also more, multi-sided, symmetrically shaped fasteners conceivable.
  • the base body made of non-conductive material of the connecting element is completely surrounded by an electrically conductive coating.
  • an electrically insulating contact holder is arranged with an electrical contact hooked therein, which can be used as a separate component with corresponding mutually acting locking means provided in the body.
  • body and contact holder for thermal considerations are advantageously made of the same insulating material. Accordingly, an arrangement of the solder pads is provided on the circuit boards, so that the electrically conductive coating of the connecting element and the signal contact contacted according to separate pads.
  • the base body of the connecting element is provided with an electrically conductive coating on essential parts, preferably on the inside.
  • the contact holder - without electrically conductive coating - is molded directly into the main body. Only the internal electrical contact is required as an additional component, formed as a stamped and bent part.
  • the collar-shaped base body is provided at two opposite corner areas with notches, which allow a mutual nesting of the two identical connecting elements. Wherein during insertion a connecting element is rotated axially by 180 ° - laterally slightly offset from the other - is arranged.
  • a suction surface is advantageously provided, by means of which automatic assembly of the connecting element on a printed circuit board can take place.
  • At least the inner region, except for the insulating region of the electrical contact, is coated in an electrically conductive manner by means of MID technology.
  • This also applies to the two notches and the circumferential collar edge with funnel-shaped bevels, as well as to the circuit board facing collar edge in which advantageously holes are provided which exert on the introduced between the connecting element and the circuit board solder a capillary action and cause secure soldering.
  • the circumferential, plug-side collar wheel advantageously has bevels, which favor easier “capture” of two to be connected fasteners, with misalignments in the Z-axis, horizontally rotated by up to +/- 10 ° are tolerable for a connection pair. While still with a vertically inclined Z-axis of 7 °, a "catching" of the mating connector is feasible.
  • the Z-axis ie the height distance between two printed circuit boards, a tolerance for the inserted state of +/- 0.75 mm is provided. Since the connecting elements are manufactured as plastic injection molded parts, a stepped distance range between two printed circuit boards of approximately 6 to 30 mm is provided.
  • distances of 6.7 mm, 19 mm, 28.7 mm are provided.
  • a signal contact with appropriate dimensioning of the connecting element with the signal contact quite a variant as a so-called power contact conceivable, with a variant without the internal signal contact can be realized.
  • multiple contacts within the body which are advantageously designed as hermaphroditic contacts and identify a straight and an S-shaped contact legs, so that when contacting two appropriately equipped connecting elements, two differently shaped contact legs contact each other.
  • Fig.1 is shown in an isometric view of a one-piece, collar-shaped connecting element with a view of the plug-in area.
  • the connecting element 1 is formed as a square, collar-shaped base body 10, wherein in each case one perpendicular to the collar 11 formed notch 15, 17 is provided in two opposite corner regions 14, respectively.
  • the entire base body 10 is coated with an electrically conductive coating.
  • the notch 15, 17 has approximately an opening width which corresponds to the collar thickness and in this illustration a depth which corresponds approximately to half the height of the entire collar height.
  • a contact holder 30 formed of insulating material is inserted inside the main body 10 and is provided for receiving an electrical signal contact 40, here as a single contact.
  • the contact holder 30 has the plug-in side here a triangular suction surface 31, which allows a so-called pick-and-place point a machine-controlled placement of the connecting element on a circuit board.
  • the collar 11 has a plug-side collar edge 12 on both sides inwardly and outwardly and circumferentially bevels 20, 21, whereby a easier telescoping of two identical connecting elements is favored.
  • the spring 27 is barrel-shaped with tapered outer areas, so that when a juxtaposition of a plurality of connecting elements, first a slight insertion of the spring into the groove until the thicker middle region of the tongue and groove combination results in a positive connection.
  • the groove 26 also has a barrel-shaped longitudinal shape with expanding outer areas.
  • the Fig. 2 shows the square base body 10 of the connecting element from the perspective of the solder side. Significant are first the two T-shaped recesses 19 in the two collar sides 11, which form the corner region 18. Here, the contact holder 30 is inserted and held with corresponding projecting locking rails 32.
  • the corner region has a groove 24 into which a soldering foot 42 formed on the signal contact can be used for soldering to a solder pad on a printed circuit board.
  • a soldering foot 42 formed on the signal contact can be used for soldering to a solder pad on a printed circuit board.
  • two fixing pins 22 are here formed, which serve for polarization and mounting on a circuit board until the soldering process, the solder collar edge and the holes provided therein 23, in which it rises due to capillary forces, finally fixed.
  • the Fig. 3a, 3b, 3c show in several representations, the contact holder 30 in which the signal contact 40 is used. Being in the Fig. 3a and 3b an upright position and the Fig. 3c a reverse position is displayed.
  • the floor plan is formed according to the insertion in the corner region 18 as a triangular foot 36 with a height corresponding to the wall height of the main body 10 reaches a maximum up to the inner bevel 20.
  • the upper smooth triangle is the suction region 31 for machine-controlled placement of the entire connecting element on a printed circuit board.
  • an opening 33 in the lower part of a recess 34 and at the foot of a pocket 35 is formed. While with the vertical, projecting locking rails 32, the fixation of the contact holder in the T-shaped recesses 19 in the base body 10 is ensured.
  • the in Fig. 4a, 4b Signal contact 40 shown has finally a U-shape, with an outwardly bent contact portion 41 and a flat soldering foot 42nd At three positions, in the upper leg end, in the lower leg end and below the curved contact area each free-standing three-sided locking hooks 43 are bent out. By means of these latching hook the signal contact in the opening 33, in the recess 34 and in the pocket 35 is locked.
  • the Fig. 5 shows a variant 1 'of the connecting element 1 in which only the inner walls and running at different angles plug-side collar edge 12 are internally and externally provided with an electrically conductive coating to achieve an optimal high-frequency shielding effect at a complete mating. In this case, it is also provided to mold the insulating contact holder 30 for the signal contact 40 directly into the main body.
  • the electrical coating is not particularly shown.
  • Fig. 6a are two connecting elements 1 or 1 'shown, each mounted on a circuit board 3, 5, contact each other.
  • the upper connecting element with the circuit board 5 is rotated by 180 °. Due to the diagonally shaped notches 15, 17 in the collar 11, the two basic body, slightly offset, are completely plugged into each other, first contacting the shielding coating of the collar walls until a little later contact the two internal signal contacts each other.
  • the Fig. 7 shows two inserted connecting elements 1, wherein the upper circuit board is removed. Clearly visible is the contacting of the two signal contacts 40, which develop a diagonal force component through the outwardly bent contact region 41, so that the base body 10 of the connecting elements always be urged into the opposite corner areas and ensure an equally secure contacting of the coating for the transmission of the ground signal.
  • a multiple contact 40.1 is shown, which is arranged within the base body 10 in a contact holder 30.
  • the multiple contact 40.1 in the Fig. 9a is shown formed as hermaphroditic contact element, with two interconnected contact legs - a straight, flat contact leg 44.1 and an approximately S-shaped contact leg 41.1, which is summarized with a Lötfuß 42.1 inserted into a corresponding bore of a printed circuit board.
  • a surface mounted version of a multi-contact is provided in the Fig. 9b is shown.
