Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an outer conductor arrangement and a manufacturing method for an outer conductor arrangement.
  • Plug-in connectors are known, for example, from Positronic's "PosiBand” plug with both open entry and closed entry.
  • FIG. 3 A connector with an open inlet is in FIG. 3 shown.
  • Such connectors have an interface-side leading edge, which is not circumferentially closed on. In general, interruptions of the leading edge are formed by contact tabs.
  • Open-entry connectors can better compensate for manufacturing tolerances and reduce the insertion forces required for insertion.
  • a connector with a closed inlet is in FIG. 4 shown.
  • Such connectors have a closed interface-side leading edge.
  • Contact straps can be surrounded by a housing. Closed-entry connectors prevent the connector from being damaged by mechanical forces, such as a mating attempt with a wrong mating connector. They also lead to significantly increased insertion forces.
  • FIG. 5 is an outer conductor 90 of a high-voltage (HV) connector, which is designed for frequencies in the megahertz range shown.
  • the outer conductor comprises a closed inlet 91 and resilient contact tabs 92 with contact points 93 located behind the closed inlet. Frequency-dependent resonances occur at the outer conductor due to capacitances between the connector. Although the aforementioned drawbacks in this frequency range do not yet occur, there is a need to provide an outer conductor which is suitable for a plug in a higher frequency range.
  • the US 20140364013 A1 and the DE 202013001452 U1 show an outer conductor arrangement for a plug connector comprising an outer conductor main body and an outer conductor ring, wherein the outer conductor main body has a plurality of contact tabs, wherein the outer conductor ring adjoins an interface-side end of the outer conductor main body, is connected to at least one connection region by means of a retaining tab to the outer conductor main body and is of a closed structure, to form a closed entry of the outer conductor arrangement, wherein contact tabs are provided, which are not connected to the outer conductor ring.
  • the present invention has the object, a connector with a closed Entry and improved impedance properties.
  • the idea underlying the present invention is to arrange ends of contact lugs of an outer conductor behind an outer conductor ring so that the contact lugs are flexibly deformable, in order to ensure low insertion forces, and at the same time to create a closed entry through an outer conductor ring.
  • the contact tabs not connected to the outer conductor ring have the same tolerance-compensating properties as the contact tabs according to FIG. 7.
  • a ring is understood to mean a peripheral object. Its cross-sectional area may be, among other things, round, oval, elliptical or the like.
  • the outer conductor arrangement has a diameter jump inwardly between the outer conductor main body and the outer conductor ring. Diameter jumps in the outer conductor allow the impedance to be adjusted.
  • the outer conductor ring has no bulge or indentation.
  • the outer conductor ring is adapted to protect contact straps from mechanical forces. This is necessary if a connector is to be plugged from an oblique direction or to withstand force effects from an oblique direction without damaging the outer conductor when plugged. According to one embodiment of the present invention, this protection of the contact tabs can be ensured by a closed entry of the outer conductor.
  • This embodiment of the present invention thus solves the problem of reducing insertion forces while increasing the stability of a connector.
  • the optimization of these two properties is inverse, i. a desired increase in stability leads to an undesirable increase in the insertion forces and vice versa.
  • At least one contact tab is formed as a retaining tab, with which the outer conductor ring is connected.
  • the outer conductor ring can be attached to the outer conductor main body in a particularly simple and secure manner.
  • the outer conductor ring may be attached to another part of the outer conductor.
  • the retaining tab does not necessarily have to be a contact tab.
  • a contact tab is used to make contact with a mating connector, with which a connector having the outer conductor arrangement is to be connected.
  • contact tabs are merely connected to the outer conductor main body, they have resilient properties.
  • the retaining tabs may be such that their rigidity is greater than the stiffness of the unattached contact tabs.
  • the outer conductor ring is connected to a plurality of tabs, in particular to two tabs on the outer conductor main body, this has a lower resilience than the contact tabs that are not connected to the outer conductor ring.
  • a main extension direction of the retaining tab runs in the circumferential direction of the outer conductor retaining ring and / or if the main extension direction of the retaining tab perpendicular to the main extension direction of the contact tabs.
  • a connector according to the invention is produced by a stamping method, diameter jumps of the retaining tabs can be produced.
  • the outer conductor ring is connected to the outer conductor main body by means of a joining method, e.g. by welding, connected.
  • a joining method e.g. by welding
  • the outer conductor ring and the outer conductor main body may be made of a continuous part.
  • the outer conductor main body has two retaining tabs.
  • the retaining tabs can be straight or curved.
  • the outer conductor ring has a protective collar, which protrudes in the radial direction in relation to free ends of the contact tabs, wherein the protective collar is set up to protect the contact tabs of the outer conductor main body against mechanical force effects. It can be provided that the protective collar prevents the contact tabs are damaged by entering objects, such as tools.
  • the protective collar may, in one embodiment, be a vertical wall projecting from the outer conductor ring, be formed or as a curved tab, which covers the front ends of the contact tabs.
  • the contact tabs each have an elevated contact point for contacting a mating connector.
  • the contact tabs in the inserted state undergo a bias, whereby the contact improves.
  • the shielding of the connector is improved.
  • the outer conductor ring and the outer conductor main body are integrally formed.
  • the outer conductor main body is formed as a stamped part.
  • Stamped parts can be produced in a particularly cost-effective manner.
  • the production of stamped parts can be made highly automated.
  • creating diameter jumps in punching processes for plug-in connectors is possible only in conjunction with other mechanical disadvantages such as high insertion forces or low contact forces.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of an outer conductor arrangement 100 according to the invention in the unassembled state.
  • the outer conductor assembly 100 of the present invention includes the outer conductor body 200 and the outer conductor ring 300.
  • the outer conductor assembly 100 is configured to receive one or more inner conductors and one or more insulating members to provide a coaxial, twinaxial or triaxial connector.
  • the outer conductor main body 200 comprises on its upper side and lower side a plurality of contact tabs 201 and on the right and left side in each case a retaining tab, which is designed as a contact tab 203.
  • the contact tab 203 is slightly larger than the contact tabs 201 and thus also stiffer than the contact tabs 201.
  • the outer tabs 300 are additionally integrally formed on the contact tabs 203, which additionally contribute to an increased rigidity of the contact tabs 203 relative to the contact tabs 201.
  • the contact tabs 201 each have a contact point 204 in a front end region.
  • the contact point is formed as an increase on the contact tabs 201 and contacted in the inserted state, the outer conductor of a mating connector, which is plugged with outer conductor assembly 100. This ensures electromagnetic shielding at the top and bottom of the outer conductor assembly 100 of FIG the outer conductor main body 200 guided inner conductors (not shown) through the outer conductor main body 200th
  • FIG. 2 also have the contact tabs 203 each have a contact point 205.
  • the contact point 205 is formed on a spring tab 207 in the contact tab 203. In this way, it is ensured that the outer conductor arrangement 100 also provides an electromagnetic shielding on the sides of the outer conductor arrangement.
  • outer conductor main body 200 provides a diameter jump between the contact tabs 201, 203 and the outer conductor ring 300.
  • the outer conductor ring 300 is connected to the outer conductor main body 200 via a weld seam 209.
  • the outer conductor main body 200 and the outer conductor ring 300 may be integrally formed.
  • the outer conductor ring 300 includes the protective collar 305, which protects the ends of the contact plates 201 from the action of foreign bodies.
