Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printed circuit board connector element with a plurality of signal contacts arranged in a grid-like manner in columns and rows in a female connector made of insulating material, and with a shielding unit which contains a first and a second ground plate which are conductive and which are directed towards one another ⁇ overlying sides of at least one of the signal contacts and which are conductively connected to one another via a bridge, the shielding unit having a first ground connection projecting therefrom which can be conductively connected to the printed circuit board.
  • Such a circuit board connector element is known from DE 44 10 047 AI.
  • Low-frequency circuit board connectors are increasingly operated with faster digital signals.
  • the very steep signal rising edges correspond to high frequencies. This creates problems with the signal transmission quality, in particular undesirable crosstalk effects arise between adjacent signal contacts.
  • modules with very fast signals as well as those with less fast signals will be used in future devices. This is why there is a need to connect and operate both frequency-optimized female connectors and standard female connectors by plugging them into standard male connectors on the back of the device.
  • a shielding unit with two bulkhead plates connected by a bridge is known from the aforementioned publication.
  • only connector elements are proposed there, cf. FIGS. 2, 7 and 8, in each of which only a first, front half of the signal contacts of a column is shielded directly by the shielding unit belonging to this column.
  • the other half of the column is shielded by two further shielding units which are arranged on the columns adjacent to the left and right and in each case only extend along the second, rear half of the signal contacts.
  • This known constructive solution has the disadvantage that a signal contact must be connected to ground in each column, since a shielding unit is provided for each column, which in itself is complex in terms of production technology.
  • the present invention has for its object to an improved connector of the type mentioned create, which in particular reliably prevents crosstalk, which causes structural changes only in one connector element, the female connector, and which is easy to produce.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a shielding unit with a mass-spring contact that has not yet been inserted and a female connector
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a shielding unit in a representation similar to that in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic plan view of part of a circuit board connected to the connector element
  • FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the circuit board according to FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1 Shown in FIG. 1 above is a shielding unit 3 according to the invention, which has two parallel ground plates 4 and 5 which, at the end of the shielding unit on the knife bar side, in FIG has conductively connected to each other. At the end of the shielding unit 3 on the knife bar side, a formed insulation displacement contact 9 indicated. The insulation displacement contact 10, which is also formed on the ground plate 5, cannot be seen due to the selected perspective.
  • the present invention generally combats crosstalk by means of ground plates which are placed between the signal contacts of a column in the female connector. These ground plates must make a low-resistance contact with one or more pin contacts on the back of the device or on the male connector. As far as possible, this contact must take place in the front of the female connector so that the induced currents can be neutralized in the shortest possible way.
  • the shield plates designed as ground plates reduce inductive and capacitive crosstalk and act as low-inductance connection paths to the ground in order to reduce the signal path impedance. They improve the transmission quality of the signal.
  • a spring contact 8 is provided in the shielding unit 3, which takes the place of a signal contact 2 of the respective column.
  • This spring contact 8 can advantageously be held by insulation displacement contacts 9 and 10 formed opposite each other on the ends of the mass platelets 4, 5 on the knife bar side, as shown in different embodiments in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the spring contact 8 is formed with lateral shoulders 11 lying in the longitudinal direction of the spring strip 1, which should therefore allow a hold by the insulation displacement contacts 9 and 10 and thus a secure electrical connection.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from the fact that there at the end of a contact leg of the Fe derkonts 8 a wide, in the longitudinal direction of the female connector 12 flag is formed, which is in turn held on the sides by an insulation displacement contact 9 and 10.
  • the assembly according to FIG. 1 is carried out in such a way that first the spring contact 8 is inserted in the insulating body of the spring strip 1 and that the signal contacts 2 designed as signal spring contacts on the power supply side are then used.
  • the middle signal contact 2 of the respective column is replaced by the spring contact 8 and by the ground connection 7.
  • the shielding unit 3 with the spring contact 8 provided for the ground connection to the male connector is inserted into each second column of the female connector 1, as can be seen in FIG.
  • An opening 16 is provided in each case for the spring contacts 8 in the relevant columns of the spring strip 1.
  • the complete column-wise shielding of the signal contacts is accordingly achieved by means of uniformly designed shielding units 3, it being particularly advantageous that only one shielding unit is required per two columns. This has the further advantage that only one signal contact has to be grounded per two columns.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 It is electrically more favorable if, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at least one second press-in ground connection 13 is formed on the shielding unit 3.
  • the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in which the bridge 6 is connected, has proven to be optimal in many respects the end opposite the knife-bar end of the shielding unit 3 is arranged and in which the press-in connections of the respective signal contact gaps extend in the manner of a gap between the first ground connection 7 behind these press-in connections and the further ground connections 13 in front of these press-in connections. This can be seen more precisely from the configurations of the connection bores shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 on the printed circuit board. Overall, the connections are laid or shaped in such a way that optimal guidance of the return flow is possible.
  • connection bores for the ground connections at the front edge of the module and / or behind the signal connection rows 15 as shown in a line 14 lie.
  • the position of a shielding unit 3 is also indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • FIG. 4 shows an alternative contact in which pressure contacts, with a large plastic deformability and a sufficiently large elastic return action, between the Signalanschluß ⁇ rows 15 are.
  • the connector element according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for combination with a printed circuit board, the press-in connections and the press-in ground connections 7 and 13 extending into the printed circuit board. This is made possible by arrangements consisting of a connector element according to the invention or a combination according to the invention with a female connector printed circuit board, and a combination of a male connector with another printed circuit board which can be connected by plugging.
  • the invention can be used particularly successfully in connection with the SIPAC (registered trademark) high-speed connector family from Siemens.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur de cartes de circuits comprenant d'une part une pluralité de contacts de signalisation (2) disposés sous forme de grille dans une broche de connexion (1), et d'autre part, une unité de blindage (3) contenant une première et une deuxième plaquettes de mise à la masse (4, 5) reliées de façon conductrice par un pont (6) présentant un premier raccord à la masse (7) faisant saillie et pouvant être inséré. Ces plaquettes de mise à la masse (4, 5) s'étendent chacune sur la totalité des contacts de signalisation (2) intercalés d'une colonne, une unité de blindage (3) étant prévue uniquement pour une colonne de contacts de signalisation sur deux. Il est ainsi nécessaire de raccorder à la masse uniquement un contact de signalisation pour deux colonnes, et une unité de blindage pour deux colonnes suffit à blinder complètement toutes les colonnes.
