- FIG 2 is that in Figure 1 illustrated connector system 1 is shown again, wherein the circuit board 3 has been removed. Furthermore, the closure element 15 is not inserted into the access opening 14.
- the input-side contacts 9 and the output-side contacts 11 do not make electrical contact when the printed circuit board 3 is removed. This is a constructively preferable solution, since the implementation of such an arrangement is easy to handle. It can also be advantageous, by removing the printed circuit board 3, to effect a reliable galvanic separation of circuits within the plug connector 2. It can also be understood as in the context of the invention to provide a printed circuit board 3, which only ensures reliable galvanic separation between some or all of the contacts 9, 11.
- the printed circuit board 3 would accordingly have a transfer option or a transfer function of zero between at least one input-side contact 9 and at least one output-side contact 11.
- the circuit board 3 can thus also serve as a securing element - either in the inserted or removed state, depending on the design.
- the relaxed length of the springs when the contacts 9, 11 are designed as springs or the distances between the contacts 9, 11 are selected such that the input-side contacts 9 and the output-side contacts 11 themselves contact one another if the printed circuit board 3 is not inserted.
- FIG 3 is the closure element 15 of the Figures 1 and 2 enlarged and shown in a spatial representation.
- the closure element 15 is essentially formed from a non-conductive material and comprises the seal 20 already described.
- the conductive attachment 19 is preferably formed from a sheet metal and pushed or placed onto the closure element 15. Lateral contact springs 24 are provided, thereby ensuring reliable electrical contact with the outer conductor 7 of the cable 5 or with the means for shielding 8 of the connector 2 can be guaranteed even when large tolerances are to be compensated.
- the contact springs 24 are preferably arranged in a ring around the closure element 15. In a simplified design, however, a single contact or a single contact spring 24 can also be sufficient.
- closure element 15 is formed in a simplified embodiment as a sheet metal element or completely from metal.
- the closure element 15 is positively and non-positively connected to the means for shielding 8 of the plug connector 2 by, for example, a screw connection.
- the closure element 15 is preferably arranged set back in the inserted state in the housing 4 of the plug connector 2.
- a coplanar design or a design in which the closure element 15 protrudes from the housing 4 is also possible (see e.g. Figure 1 ), possible.
- FIG Figure 5 A third embodiment of a connector system 1 according to the invention is shown in FIG Figure 5 shown.
- the connector 2 is designed as a coupling.
- the contact sleeve or the contact sleeves 18 of the front area of the plug connector 2 is or are arranged in the embodiment in relation to the circuit board 3 in such a way that a corresponding plug is able to make direct contact with the output-side contact points 16 of the circuit board 3.
- the output-side contact 11 is formed by the corresponding plug, which can be viewed as a component of the present connector system 1.
- the corresponding plug makes contact with the at least one output-side contact 11 of the plug connector 2.
- the output-side contacts 11 and the plug connector inner conductors 12 would be formed in one piece with the contact sleeves 18.
- FIG. 6 to 8 Simplified circuit diagrams are shown to show three exemplary variants of the connector system 1 or to show examples of the various transmission options from the at least one input-side contact 9 to the at least one output-side contact 11.
- the input-side contact 9 of the connector 2 with the cable inner conductors 10 and the output-side contact 11 of the connector 2 with the connector inner conductors 12 and the printed circuit board 3 are shown in each case.
- the electrical contacting of the contacts 9, 11 of the connector 2 and the contact points 16 of the printed circuit board 3 are only shown very schematically.
- circuit board 3 functions only for the forwarding or direct contacting of the cable inner conductors 10 with the plug connector inner conductors 12.
- the circuit board 3 can only have vias for this purpose.
- the circuit board 3 and the transmission option then function as a so-called "dummy" element.
- Figure 7 is one of the Figure 6 A similar embodiment is shown, in which the printed circuit board 3 once again only serves to make contact between the cable inner conductors 10 and the connector inner conductors 12, without providing any further influencing of the signals. However, in this embodiment it is a "crossover" connection, ie a cross-connection of signals and thus one of the Figure 6 different connector assignment.
- the plug connection 2 can thus be functionally changed.
- Figure 8 shows a further embodiment in which an electronics 25 of the circuit board 3 - shown as a "black box” - electrically influences one or more or all of the signals when they are passed on from the input-side contacts 9 to the output-side contacts 11.
- the invention can also be used to avoid or replace a conventional fan-out area within a plug connector or to adapt an input-side interface 30 and an output-side interface 31 in an impedance-controlled manner.
- the so-called pitch i. H. a center-to-center distance of the contacts 9, 11 or contact points 16 can be modified.
- the cable inner conductors 10 are fanned out, d. H. the pitch is expanded in order to achieve the correct proportions for the connector.
- Such a fanning out can be clearly seen in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5.
- the cable inner conductors 10 are usually fanned out so that their ends assume a position such that each end of a cable inner conductor 10 is assigned a corresponding end of a connector inner conductor 12 and the ends assigned to one another run coaxially to one another.
- any number of unbundling options for the input-side and output-side interfaces (“interfaces”) 30, 31 are possible.
- Any pin assignments or plug connector standards can be adapted with the electrical circuit or printed circuit board 3, with impedance control being possible at the same time by appropriate circuit components of the electrical circuit or printed circuit board 3. For example, it is possible to switch from a transmission type or "stranding" with a star quad to a parallel transmission type ("parallel pair").
- Figure 9 shows a further example of different interfaces 30, 31 on the input side and on the output side, each with a different pitch.
- the output-side interface 31 therefore has greater distances between the individual cores or connector inner conductors 12.
- a fan-out area which, however, causes faults in the transmission path.
- both interfaces 30, 31 can have the same impedance (e.g. 90 ohms differential).
- a circuit board 3 can be provided, it being possible to first make direct contact with the circuit board 3 from both sides with the respective interface dimensions.
- a suitable design of the microstrip lines and vias of the circuit board 3 can then compensate for the capacitive behavior of the transition from the respective inner conductors 10, 12 to the circuit board 3.
- a reflection-free pitch change is preferably provided.
- the receptacle 13 for the circuit board 3 is not shown for the sake of simplicity.
- the printed circuit board 3 can, however, be inserted into the plug connector 2 as described above.
- connector 2 is the Figure 9 shown as a printed circuit board connector. As shown, the connector 2 is not connected on the input side to a cable 5, but to a further printed circuit board 32. A plurality of electrical lines 5 or signal conductors 10 of the further printed circuit board 32 can be contacted with corresponding contact lines 33. Contact can also be made with a ground conductor of the further printed circuit board 32, if necessary, by means of at least one contact line 33.
- the contact lines 33 connect the signal conductors 10 to the contact points 16 of the printed circuit board 3 or to the contacts 9 on the input side.
- an electrical circuit By using an electrical circuit according to the invention, a transition between an input-side interface 30 and an output-side interface 31 that is optimally suitable for high-frequency technology can be provided, with differences between the interfaces 30, 31 that would have a negative effect on the signal transmission, such as, in particular, different line lengths , Center-to-center distances or relative positioning of the contacts, geometry or size the individual contacts and the type of material of the individual contacts, through which the correspondingly designed electrical circuit can be electrically balanced or adapted.
- Figure 11 shows a schematic sectional view of a circuit board 3 in an optional configuration as a circuit board 3, as this could be used for the present invention. It can also be a multilayer printed circuit board.
- the circuit board 3 according to Figure 11 comprises a full circumferential metallization 22 made of copper, which forms the circuit board shield 22, on its surfaces or side faces.
- the metallization 22 is cut out around the contact points 16 so as not to short-circuit the contact points 16 to the shield.
- circuit board layers 26 which are connected by means of contacts 27 and are spaced apart from one another, are arranged within the metallization 22.
- the circuit board layers 26 of the circuit board 3 are connected to the contact points 16 via plated-through holes 28.
- Electrical components 17 are preferably arranged in each case on the inwardly directed sides of the circuit board layers 26.
- the plated-through holes 28 and contacts 27 can also be formed in one piece.
- a thermally conductive layer 29 can be formed between the circuit board layers 26 and the electrical components 17 surrounding or immediately adjacent or adjoining.
- the distance between the circuit board layers 26 can depend, among other things, on the level and / or operating voltage of the electrical components 17 and on the electrical insulation capacity of the thermally conductive layer 29.
- the thermally conductive layer 29 can comprise epoxy resin. Due to the low thermal conductivity of epoxy resin, the thermally conductive layer 29 can also be enriched with boron nitride and / or aluminum oxide. Accordingly, the required thickness of the thermally conductive layer 29 can largely depend on its composition.
- epoxy resin instead of epoxy resin, synthetic resin can also be used accordingly. This is also particularly suitable.
- a connector 2 of the above-described embodiments of Figures 1, 2 and 4 to 10 also be designed in two parts.
