Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting device for the electrical connection of electrical lines with electrical contacts.
  • Electronic devices e.g. Controllers typically include a variety of electronic components that are electrically connected to other components external to the device.
  • the electrical connections must often be protected against environmental influences and mechanical influences.
  • electrical connections are used both on and in the gearbox or motor, which must be protected against aggressive media, oil and chips.
  • WO 2008/049724 A1 describes a housing for an electronic control unit having at least two housing parts, which has at least one housing bottom, a housing cover and an electronic connection between the housing interior arranged components and components lying outside the housing, which is fixed to the housing bottom, wherein the housing cover directly on the electronic Connection is soldered.
  • the document US 2013/0323946 A1 describes an electrical assembly with a receiver and a connection device.
  • the receiver has a receiver housing and a plurality of receiver electrical housing contacts.
  • the connection device has a connection housing for receiving and supporting a connection end of a flexible connection assembly having a plurality of flexible electrical connection contacts.
  • the connection device may be releasably connected to the receiver housing so that each receiver electrical contact is releasably connected electrically to an electrical connection contact.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide an improved connection device for electrically connecting electrical lines with electrical contacts, wherein the electrical connection is shielded from the environment and with an improved compensation of tolerances between these electrical lines and these electrical contacts is possible.
  • the electrical lines are arranged on the flexible printed circuit board.
  • the flexible printed circuit board has a contacting region, in which at least one electrical line is electrically connected to at least one electrical contact.
  • the electrical contacts are arranged on the base carrier.
  • the flexible circuit board is disposed between the base support and the cover, wherein the base support and the cover form a sealed housing of the contacting region.
  • the contacting region in which the electrical leads of the flexible printed circuit board are connected to the electrical contacts, is shielded from the environment, for example against aggressive media, oil or chips.
  • the electrical connections of the electrical lines with the electrical contacts are advantageously protected against harmful environmental influences, so that these compounds can be used for example in transmissions or engines of vehicles.
  • the arrangement of the electrical leads on a flexible printed circuit board made possible by the flexibility of the printed circuit board spatial tolerances due to manufacturing or by voltages or temperature changes between the electrical wires or the printed circuit board and the electrical contacts, the base support and / or the cover can occur.
  • This tolerance compensation advantageous forces and stresses are avoided, which act on the electrical connections between the electrical lines and electrical contacts and can jeopardize the stability of these compounds.
  • the flexible printed circuit board has a connection region which is materially connected to the base carrier and the cover and surrounds the contacting region.
  • the flexible printed circuit board is fixed between the base support and the cover, without firmly connecting the contacting region itself to the base support or the cover, so that the contacting region continues to remain flexible in the housing formed by the base support and the cover and to compensate for the above tolerance contributes.
  • connection region is preferably connected in each case by lamination or bonding or welding cohesively to the base support and the cover. This advantageously allows a tight connection of the flexible circuit board to the base support and the cover, so that the interior of the housing formed by the base support and the cover is shielded from the environment.
  • the flexible printed circuit board has a slot-like opening which is surrounded by the connecting region. Such an opening increases the flexibility of the printed circuit board and thus further improves the tolerance compensation mentioned above.
  • the slot-like opening is arranged according to the invention outside of the contacting region.
  • the slot-like opening is arranged between the contacting region and the connection region and enables displacements of the contacting region relative to the connection region and thus within the housing formed by the base carrier and the cover, which further improve tolerance compensation.
  • the electrical contacts are formed as metallic pins (so-called pins) or as a stamped grid. This advantageously makes it possible to use proven techniques for the electrical connection of the electrical leads of the flexible printed circuit board, in particular of printed conductors, to the electrical contacts.
  • the cover is made of a plastic, a steel, a metal, a metal alloy or a foil.
  • the choice of material is adapted to the particular requirements imposed by the environment in which the connection device is to be used.
  • the base support is preferably made of a plastic. This advantageously facilitates the arrangement of the electrical contacts on the base support.
  • at least one electrical line is connected to at least one electrical contact by soldering, gluing, welding and / or press-fitting, since this advantageously enables stable electrical connections between electrical lines and electrical contacts.
  • the flexible printed circuit board further comprises an outer region which is arranged outside of the housing formed by the base carrier and the cover of the contacting region and by means of which at least one electrical Lead is led out of this housing.
