Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system comprising a printed circuit board and a tubular jacket connected to the printed circuit board, in particular conductors.
  • the invention relates to such a system in which the jacket, in particular as outer conductor, surrounds one or more inner conductors of a sheathed and in particular shielded single or multiple line (for example coaxial line).
  • Such systems are part of a variety of devices in which radio frequency signals are transmitted and processed (eg, multimedia devices).
  • the one or more provided for the high-frequency signal transmission inner conductor of the shielded single or multiple lines are electrically conductive with defined " traces of the circuit board, while the outer conductor (sheath) serves as a shield for the inner conductor and to regularly electrically connected to a grounded contact region of the circuit board.
  • the connections between the inner and outer conductors and the corresponding contact regions of the printed circuit board can be made in a positive, cohesive or materially bonded manner , For certain applications, it may be necessary to seal the connection between the printed circuit board and the coaxial line, in particular a penetration of moisture to the inner conductors and their contact points with the conductor tracks of the circuit board or moisture through the contact points in a surrounding the outer conductor Avoid housing.
  • a separate sealing element for example, a conventional O-ring is used regularly, which is arranged in the contact region between the circuit board and the outer conductor.
  • This type of sealing is associated with relatively high costs, which are not only due to the component costs for the sealing element, but also result from the relatively complex assembly of the system.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a way to inexpensively seal the connection of a circuit board with a sheathed and especially shielded cable.
  • the invention is based on the idea to form the connection between the printed circuit board and a rohi-shaped shell, in particular an outer conductor of a shielded single or multiple line, by soldering and form the solder joint such that it can simultaneously serve to seal the connection area.
  • soldered connection region it is necessary for the soldered connection region to be provided completely with respect to the cross section of the jacket and, moreover, to be of such a large surface area that a sufficient sealing effect can be achieved by means of the solder introduced into the contact gap between the printed circuit board and the jacket.
  • a system comprising a printed circuit board and a tubular (and preferably electrically conductive) sheath, in particular a conductor, which is preferably electrically conductively connected to the printed circuit board is inventively characterized in that the sheath has the face side with a flat, closed annular (eg annular, square , rectangular, etc.) contacted contact surface and the circuit board with the jacket is fully (preferably full surface) soldered along the contact surface.
  • a flat, closed annular eg annular, square , rectangular, etc.
  • the thickness of the contact surface may be greater than the wall thickness of the jacket in a section spaced from the contact surface.
  • the thickness of the contact surface is greater than the normal wall thickness, i. that wall thickness that the shell has along most of its length is.
  • the jacket is formed at its contact-side end with a thickening, which can be formed, for example, as a circumferential paragraph t.
  • the heel does not have to be formed integrally with the (residual) jacket.
  • the jacket at its contact-side end e.g.
  • the thickness of the annular contact surface is at least 0.3 mm.
  • a sufficiently good sealing effect can be realized by increasing the contact surface and an increase in the strength of the achieved by soldering mechanical connection between the circuit board and the jacket.
  • the inventive type for sealing the connection between a printed circuit board and a tubular jacket can be used advantageously in particular when the jacket (at least) surrounds an inner conductor.
  • the jacket may in particular be electrically conductive and furthermore preferably designed as a conductor.
  • the jacket can thus serve as a shield and in particular as an outer conductor for the inner conductor.
  • the jacket may preferably be formed entirely from a suitable metal. As a result, it can easily have the preferably provided electrical conductivity and, moreover, can also be soldered without difficulty.
  • the coat can also consist of other materials.
  • the jacket may be at least partially made of plastic. The solderability and optionally the conductivity can then be achieved, for example, by means of a metallic (partial) coating.
  • Fig. 1 an inventive system in a first perspective
  • FIG. 3 shows the system in a perspective longitudinal section.
  • the system according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 comprises a printed circuit board 1 and a shielded multiple line connected to the printed circuit board 1.
  • the multiple line comprises an (electrically conductive) tubular outer conductor 2 with an annular cross-sectional area.
  • a plurality of, specifically four (electrically conductive) inner conductor 3 are positioned in a square arrangement.
  • the inner conductors 3 are each held in a receiving opening of an insulating element 4.
  • the inner conductors 3 are fixed in position both within the outer conductor 2 and also electrically isolated from the outer conductor 2 and the respective other inner conductors 3.
  • the inner conductors 3 protrude with their contact-side end portions through through holes of the printed circuit board 1 and contact on the multi-line spaced side with respectively associated contact areas of printed conductors of the printed circuit board 1. It can also be provided to solder the inner conductor 3 to the contact areas.
  • the outer conductor 2 contacts a contact region of the printed circuit board 1 provided for this purpose with a flat, closed annular contact surface.
  • the mechanical connection between the outer conductor 2 and the associated contact region of the printed circuit board 1 is achieved by soldering, for which, in a known manner, molten solder is introduced into the contact gap formed between the contact surface of the outer conductor 2 and the contact region of the printed circuit board 1.
  • the solder joint serves as a seal to prevent ingress of moisture into the space formed by the outer conductor 2 cavity.
  • the wall thickness in the area of the contact surface is chosen to be greater than the normal wall thickness of the outer conductor 2.
  • the contact-side end portion of the outer conductor 2 is provided on the outside with a peripheral shoulder 5, by which an increase in diameter is achieved with concomitant enlargement of the cross-sectional area.
