Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckeraufnahme, insbesondere in einem Anzeigeinstrument eines Kraftfahrzeug, welche Steckeraufnahme eine Grundplatte mit einer Anlagefläche zum Aufsetzen auf eine Leiterplatte aufweist und zum Kontaktieren von jeweils einer Leiterbahn der Leiterplatte jeweils eine Kontaktfeder mit einem bogenförmig gekrümmten Auflagebereich aufweist, der bei nicht auf der Leiterplatte aufsitzender Grundplatte über die Auflagefläche der Grundplatte hinausragt.The invention relates to a plug receptacle, in particular in a display instrument a motor vehicle, which plug receptacle a base plate having a contact surface for placement on a printed circuit board and for contacting each of a conductor track of the printed circuit board respectively a contact spring with an arcuately curved support area has, which is not seated on the circuit board base plate on the Supporting surface of the base plate protrudes.

Steckeraufnahmen der vorstehenden Art dienen beispielsweise dazu, ein Kombiinstrument in einem Fahrzeug mit einem Stecker zu verbinden, so dass es an elektrischer Energieversorgung und Datenleitungen angeschlossen ist. Zum Verbinden der Steckeraufnahme mit der Leiterplatte sind zwei Montageweisen gebräuchlich. Bei der Aufsetzmontage setzt man die Steckeraufnahme mit ihrer Grundplatte auf die Leiterplatte. Bei der Durchsteckmontage hat die Leiterplatte eine Durchbrechung, durch welche man die Steckeraufnahme hindurchschiebt, bis die Grundplatte von der Einschiebeseite her gegen die Leiterplatte gelangt. Bisher benötigt man für diese beiden Montagearten unterschiedlich gestaltete Steckeraufnahmen, wobei es sich in beiden Fällen als vorteilhaft erweist, wenn man die elektrischen Verbindungen zwischen der Steckeraufnahme und den Leiterbahnen nicht durch Lötverbindungen erzeugen muss. Letzteres wird vermieden, indem sich für jede elektrische Verbindung eine Kontaktfeder mit Vorspannung mit ihrem Kontaktbereich auf die zu kontaktierende Leiterbahn aufsetzt. Eine solche Steckeraufnahme ist in dem Dokument WO-A-9711514 offenbart.Plug receptacles of the above type are used, for example, a Combine instrument in a vehicle with a plug to connect, so that it is connected to electrical power and data lines is. To connect the connector receptacle with the circuit board are two Mounting methods in use. When Aufsetzmontage one sets the Plug receptacle with its base plate on the circuit board. For through-hole mounting the circuit board has an opening through which one Push the connector receptacle through until the base plate is away from the push-in side get against the PCB. So far you need for this two types of mounting differently shaped connector receptacles, wherein it proves to be advantageous in both cases, if the electrical Connections between the plug receptacle and the tracks are not must produce by solder joints. The latter is avoided by For each electrical connection with a contact spring with bias their contact area touches down on the conductor track to be contacted. Such Plug receptacle is disclosed in document WO-A-9711514.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Steckeraufnahme der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, dass sie sich sowohl für die Aufsetzmontage als auch für die Durchsteckmontage eignet.The invention is based on the problem, a connector receptacle of the aforementioned type so that they are suitable for both Aufsetzmontage as well as for through-hole mounting.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Grundplatte an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils eine Auflagefläche zum Aufsetzen auf die Leiterplatte hat und die Kontaktfeder zusätzlich zu dem bogenförmig gekrümmten Auflagebereich einen zweiten, zur entgegengesetzten Seite hin bogenförmig gekrümmten Auflagebereich aufweist, welcher zusammen mit dem ersten Auflagebereich die Form eines liegenden S bildet.This problem is inventively achieved in that the base plate on two opposite sides in each case a support surface for placement on the circuit board and the contact spring in addition to the arcuate curved bearing area a second, the opposite Has side arcuate curved support area, which forms the shape of a horizontal S together with the first support area.

Durch diese Gestaltung der Kontaktfeder wird erreicht, dass diese je nachdem, ob man die Durchsteckmontage oder Aufsetzmontage anwendet, entweder mit dem einen Auflagebereich oder mit dem anderen Auflagebereich eine Leiterbahn kontaktiert. Deshalb kann man die erfindungsgemäße Steckeraufnahme unverändert bei beiden Montageweisen einsetzen. Weiterhin ist die erfindungsgemäße Steckeraufnahme SMD-fähig (SMD= Surface Mounted Device) und damit einfach und kostengünstig verarbeitbar. Die einfache Handhabung, aufwandsminimierte Lagerhaltung sowie schnelle und sichere Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Steckeraufnahme gewährleistende Flexibilität der Steckeraufnahme ist besonders in Anzeigeinstrumenten von Kraftfahrzeugen von Vorteil, da hier in sehr großer Stückzahl bei großer und sich ständig ändernder Variantenvielfalt zu sehr geringen Kosten gefertigt werden muß. By this design of the contact spring is achieved that this depending on whether to use through-hole or top-down mounting, either with one support area or with the other support area contacted a conductor. Therefore, you can the inventive Insert plug receptacle unchanged for both installation methods. Furthermore, the plug receptacle according to the invention is SMD-capable (SMD = Surface Mounted Device) and thus easy and inexpensive to process. The easy handling, effort-minimized storage as well as fast and secure mounting of the connector receptacle according to the invention ensuring Flexibility of the plug receptacle is particularly evident in gauges Of motor vehicles of advantage, since here in very large numbers at large and constantly changing variety at very low cost must be made.

Zur genauen Positionierung von Steckeraufnahmen werden üblicherweise an der Grundplatte Positioniervorsprünge angeordnet, welche nach Montage der Steckeraufnahme in entsprechende Durchbrechungen der Leiterplatte greifen. Eine exakte Positionierung der Steckeraufnahme ist vorteilhaft bei beiden Montagearten möglich, wenn jede Anlagefläche zumindest jeweils einen aus der Ebene der Anlagefläche vorspringenden Positioniervorsprung aufweist.For the exact positioning of plug receptacles are usually arranged on the base plate positioning projections, which after assembly the plug receptacle in corresponding openings of the circuit board to grab. An exact positioning of the connector receptacle is advantageous in Both types of installation possible if each contact surface at least in each case a projecting from the plane of the contact surface positioning having.

Auch die Befestigung der Steckeraufnahme kann bei beiden Montagearten sehr einfach erfolgen, wenn jede Anlagefläche zumindest jeweils ein aus der Ebene der Anlagefläche vorspringendes Halteelement hat.The attachment of the connector receptacle can be used in both types of mounting very simple, if each contact surface at least one of the Level of the contact surface projecting retaining element has.

Die Steckeraufnahme könnte ein Metallbauteil, z. B. ein gestanztes und gebogenes Blechelement, sein. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Steckeraufnahme besonders kostengünstig auch in großen Stückzahlen herstellbar und weist zudem eine elektrische Isolierung auf, wenn die Steckeraufnahme ein Kunststoffspritzgießteil ist, in das elektrisch leitende Buchsen oder Steckerfahnen eingesetzt oder eingespritzt sind.The plug receptacle could be a metal component, for. B. a punched and bent sheet metal element, be. According to an advantageous embodiment of Invention, the plug receptacle is particularly inexpensive, even in large Quantities can be produced and also has an electrical insulation, when the plug receptacle is a plastic injection molded part in which electrically conductive sockets or plugs are inserted or injected.

Man könnte sich vorstellen, die Steckeraufnahme kreisförmig zur Verbindung mit einem korrespondierenden, ebenfalls einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisenden Stecker auszubilden. Hingegen weist die Steckeraufnahme einen besonders geringen Platzbedarf und eine hohe Montagesicherheit auf, wenn gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung nebeneinander in einer Reihe angeordnete Anschlußbuchsen und/oder Steckerfahnen in einem Gehäuse angeordnet sind. Dabei können - je nach gewünschter Ausführungsform - Buchsen, in die Fahnen einführbar sind, oder Fahnen, auf die Buchsen aufsteckbar sind, vorgesehen sein. Dabei ist es weiterhin von besonderem Vorteil, wenn die Endseiten der Steckeraufnahme derart ausgebildet sind, dass mehrere Steckeraufnahmen zur Vervielfachung der Polzahl aneinander anreihbar sind.You could imagine the plug receptacle circular for connection with a corresponding, also a circular cross-section form having plug. By contrast, the plug receptacle a particularly small footprint and a high mounting security, if according to another advantageous embodiment of the invention arranged side by side in a row sockets and / or Plug lugs are arranged in a housing. It can - depending on desired embodiment - sockets, into which flags can be inserted, or flags on the jacks are plugged, be provided. It is it is furthermore of particular advantage if the end sides of the plug receptacle are formed such that a plurality of plug receptacles for Multiplication of the number of poles can be arranged next to one another.
