Die Zugentlastungselemente sind gestanzte Blechteile, die an den Befestigungselementen befestigt werden. Die Blechelemente weisen auf der der Leiterplatte zugewandten Seite Auflageflächen zur SMT-Befestigung auf. Diese Auflageflächen stehen jeweils seitlich über die Schmalseiten des Gehäuses über.From the applicant's catalog D074497 02/08 Issue 3, which can be downloaded from the applicant's home page at: http://www.erni.com/db/pdf/smc/ERNI-SMC-Board-on-d.pdf, go connector, in which the strain relief on each side transversely to the direction of insertion and substantially in extension of the longitudinal sides of the plug housing arranged fastening elements which are connected via plastic webs with the plug housing, are attached. The strain relief elements are stamped sheet metal parts that are attached to the fasteners. The sheet metal elements have on the side facing the circuit board support surfaces for SMT attachment. These bearing surfaces are each laterally over the narrow sides of the housing over.
Diese Stecker weisen Messer- und Federleisten auf, die jeweils derartige Zugentlastungselemente umfassen. Im ineinandergesteckten Zustand wird nun der Steckvorgang im Wesentlichen durch die Dicke der seitlich abstehenden Kunststoffstege begrenzt. Im Sinne einer großen Überstecksicherheit, also im Sinne eines maximalen Ineinandersteckens ist es nun wünschenswert, dass die beiden Steckverbinderteile, also Messerleiste und Federleiste, möglichst tief ineinandergesteckt werden. Aus diesem Grunde müsste der Kunststoffsteg möglichst dünn ausgebildet werden, da die Tiefe des Ineinandersteckens der beiden Steckverbinderteile durch die Dicke des Kunststoffsteges limitiert ist. Dies ist jedoch im Sinne einer optimalen Zugentlastung nicht möglich, da die vorbeschriebenen Zugentlastungselemente an den Befestigungsvorsprüngen befestigt sind, die ihrerseits an dem Steg angeformt sind. Ein dünner Kunststoffsteg weist jedoch nicht die gewünschte Stabilität auf.These plugs have blade and socket strips, each comprising such strain relief. In the nested state, the mating process is now essentially limited by the thickness of the laterally projecting plastic webs. In terms of a large Überstecksicherheit, ie in the sense of maximum nesting, it is now desirable that the two connector parts, ie male connector and spring bar, are inserted into each other as deeply as possible. For this reason, the plastic web would have to be made as thin as possible, since the depth of the nesting of the two connector parts is limited by the thickness of the plastic web. However, this is not possible in the sense of optimal strain relief, since the above-described strain relief are attached to the mounting projections, which in turn integrally formed on the web are. However, a thin plastic web does not have the desired stability.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen derartigen Stecker dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass einerseits eine maximale Überstecksicherheit gewährleistet ist, also ein maximales Ineinanderstecken von Messer- und Federleiste, andererseits eine optimale Zugentlastung sichergestellt ist und dass der Steckverbinder auf einfache Weise, insbesondere auch maschinell, herstellbar ist.The invention has the object of developing such a connector to the effect that on the one hand maximum Überstecksicherheit is guaranteed, so a maximum nesting of blade and socket, on the other hand an optimal strain relief is ensured and that the connector in a simple manner, especially by machine, produced is.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Stecker mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Grundidee der Erfindung ist es, die Zugentlastungselemente als Blechteile auszubilden, die direkt an dem Verpolungsschutz dienenden Stegen befestigbar sind und an ihrer der Leiterplatte zugewandten Seite unter Ausbildung einer Auflagefläche abgewinkelt sind. Auf diese Weise können Befestigungseinrichtungen, die an seitlich abstehenden Kunststoffstegen angeformt sind, vollständig entfallen. Die Blechelemente selbst bilden vielmehr die Zugentlastung, wobei die abgewinkelten Bereiche, welche die Auflagefläche bilden, aufgrund der höheren Stabilität von Blech gegenüber Kunststoff wesentlich dünner ausgebildet werden können. Auf diese Weise ist ein maximales Ineinanderstecken und damit eine sehr hohe Überstecksicherheit, d.h. ein maximales Ineinanderstecken der Steckerkontaktelemente möglich.This object is achieved by a plug having the features of claim 1. The basic idea of the invention is to design the strain relief elements as sheet metal parts which can be fastened directly to webs serving for reverse polarity protection and are angled away on their side facing the printed circuit board to form a bearing surface. In this way, fastening devices that are integrally formed on laterally projecting plastic webs, completely eliminated. Rather, the sheet metal elements themselves form the strain relief, wherein the angled areas, which form the support surface, due to the higher stability of sheet metal compared to plastic can be made substantially thinner. In this way, a maximum nesting and thus a very high Überstecksicherheit, i. a maximum nesting of the plug contact elements possible.
Durch die Befestigung der Blechelemente an gleichzeitig dem Verpolungsschutz dienenden Stegen wird eine besonders stabile Befestigung der Blechelemente an dem Steckergehäuse, die auch hohen Zugkräften standhält, ermöglicht.By attaching the sheet metal elements at the same time serving the reverse polarity protection bars is a particularly stable attachment of the sheet metal elements to the connector housing, which also withstands high tensile forces allows.
Die Stege stehen sowohl in Steckrichtung als auch quer zur Steckrichtung über das Steckergehäuse über und sind insoweit wesentlich dicker und massiver ausgebildet als die Gehäusewandungen. Dies erhöht nicht nur die Stabilität der Befestigung der Blechelemente, sondern erhöht auch die Robustheit des Verpolungsschutzes. An ihrer Oberseite weisen die Stege pyramidenstumpfartige Vorsprünge auf, die geeignet sind zur Einführung in Ausnehmungen in einem korrespondierenden Gehäuseteil. Die Blechelemente sind durch Rastverbindungen an den Stegen befestigbar. Solche Rastelemente ermöglichen nicht nur eine einfache Montage, sondern auch eine einfache Herstellung, beispielsweise durch Stanzen der Blechelemente.The webs are in the direction of insertion as well as transversely to the direction of insertion on the connector housing over and are so far much thicker and solid than the housing walls. This not only increases the stability of the attachment of the sheet metal elements, but also increases the robustness of the reverse polarity protection. At their upper side, the webs have truncated pyramidal projections which are suitable for insertion into recesses in a corresponding housing part. The sheet metal elements can be fastened by latching connections to the webs. Such locking elements not only allow easy installation, but also a simple production, for example by punching the sheet metal elements.
Durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen des im unabhängigen Anspruch 1 angegebenen Steckers möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements and improvements of the independent claim 1 connector are possible.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die Blechelemente vier Rastverbindungen aufweisen, die in zwei Gruppen von je zwei Rastelementen unterteilt sind, wobei die erste Gruppe möglichst nahe der Leiterplatte und die zweite Gruppe möglichst nahe der Steckeroberseite angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise erhöht sich die Stabilität des auf einer Leiterplatte befestigten Steckers auch im Hinblick auf ein auf den Stecker ausgeübtes Drehmoment. Auch die Robustheit der Zugentlastung wird hierdurch wesentlich erhöht.A particularly preferred embodiment provides that the sheet metal elements have four latching connections, which are divided into two groups of two latching elements, wherein the first group is as close as possible to the circuit board and the second group as close as possible to the plug top. In this way, the stability of the plug mounted on a printed circuit board also increases with respect to a torque exerted on the plug. The robustness of the strain relief is thereby significantly increased.
Bevorzugt bilden die rechtwinklig abgebogenen Blechelemente eine rechteckige Auflagefläche aus, die sich senkrecht zur Steckrichtung und parallel zur Leiterplatte über die Gehäuseseiten überstehend erstreckt. Diese Ausbildung ermöglicht eine großflächige Befestigung der Zugentlastungselemente, wobei die Auflagefläche, anders als beim Stand der Technik, nicht unterbrochen ist, sondern durchgängig ausgebildet ist.Preferably, the rectangular bent sheet metal elements form a rectangular bearing surface extending perpendicular to the direction of insertion and parallel to the circuit board on the sides of the housing protruding. This design allows a large-surface attachment of the strain relief, wherein the support surface, unlike the prior art, is not interrupted, but is formed throughout.
Die Blechelemente sind bevorzugt Stanzteile, die insbesondere in der Massenfertigung sehr schnell und präzise herzustellen sind. Nach dem Stanzvorgang sind in diesem Falle lediglich noch Biegevorgänge erforderlich, nämlich die Ausbildung der rechtwinklig ausgebildeten Auflageflächen und die Ausbildung der Rastelemente.The sheet metal elements are preferably stamped parts, which are very quick and accurate to manufacture, especially in mass production. After the punching process only bending operations are still required in this case, namely the formation of the right angles formed bearing surfaces and the formation of the locking elements.

Durch diese Anordnung von vier Rastelementen derart, dass jeweils zwei Paare in Steckrichtung einen möglichst großen Abstand voneinander aufweisen, wird eine sichere Befestigung des als Blechteil ausgebildeten Zugentlastungselements 200 ermöglicht und insbesondere auch eine genügend große Robustheit beispielsweise gegenüber einem Abbrechen des auf der Leiterplatte befestigten Steckers 100 durch Ausüben eines Drehmoments auf diesen Stecker 100 gewährleistet.The
