Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine verbesserte Mehrfach-Direktkontaktierung von elektrischen Bauteilen, wie z.B. Leiterplatten, sowie eine Trägerplatte mit verbesserten Direktkontakt-Möglichkeiten und ein verbessertes Direktsteckelement.The present invention relates to an improved multiple direct contacting of electrical components, such as e.g. Printed circuit boards, as well as a carrier plate with improved direct contact possibilities and an improved direct plug-in element.
In jüngster Zeit werden vermehrt Direktsteckkontakte verwendet, bei denen ein Direktsteckelement unmittelbar auf eine Trägerplatte, z.B. eine Leiterplatte, gesteckt wird. Bei einer Vielzahl von Kontaktbereichen an der Leiterplatte werden die Kontaktbereiche dabei in einer Reihe nahe einer Leiterplattenkante angeordnet. Bei einer Vielzahl von Kontaktbereichen ergibt sich dadurch eine entsprechende Länge an der Leiterplatte sowie eine komplizierte Verdrahtung auf der Leiterplatte, da dadurch die Wege zwischen den Kontaktbereichen und Bauelementen auf der Leiterplatte mit der Anzahl der Kontaktbereiche jeweils vergrößert werden müssen. Ein weiterer Problemkreis bei Direktkontaktierungen liegt darin, dass üblicherweise die Direktsteckelemente von vorne auf die Kontaktbereiche an der Leiterplatte aufgeschoben werden. Dabei reiben die Direktkontakte des Steckerelements über die Streckenlänge des Steckvorgangs gegen die Kontaktbereiche der Leiterplatte. Hierdurch werden bei jedem Steckvorgang die Oberflächen der Direktkontakte und der Kontaktflächen an der Leiterplatte abgerieben und verschleißen bei mehreren Steckvorgängen deutlich. Hierbei wurde festgestellt, dass beispielsweise bei Steuergeräten die Steckvorgänge im Produktleben mit die stärkste Schädigung am Steuergerät hervorrufen.Recently, more direct plug contacts are used in which a direct plug-in element directly on a support plate, e.g. a printed circuit board is plugged. In a plurality of contact areas on the circuit board, the contact areas are arranged in a row near a circuit board edge. In a plurality of contact areas, this results in a corresponding length on the circuit board and a complicated wiring on the circuit board, since in this way the paths between the contact areas and components on the circuit board with the number of contact areas must each be increased. Another problem in Direktkontaktierungen is that usually the Direktsteckelemente be pushed from the front of the contact areas on the circuit board. The direct contacts of the plug element rub over the path length of the plugging operation against the contact areas of the printed circuit board. As a result, the surfaces of the direct contacts and the contact surfaces are abraded on the circuit board at each mating process and wear out at several plug operations significantly. It was found that, for example, in the case of control units, the plug-in processes in the product life cause the greatest damage to the control unit.
Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Anordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 weist demgegenüber den Vorteil auf, dass eine reibende Streckenlänge während eines Aufsteckens bzw. Entfernens des Direktsteckelements gegenüber dem Stand der Technik deutlich reduziert ist. Hierdurch können signifikant Verschleißerscheinungen an Direktkontakten des Direktsteckelements sowie Kontaktbereichen einer Trägerplatte reduziert werden. Somit kann erfindungsgemäß das Direktsteckelement problemlos mehrfach von der Trägerplatte getrennt und wieder aufgesteckt werden. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein weiterer Vorteil, dass dünnere Schutzschichten, welche üblicherweise aus Gold sind, auf den Kontaktflächen an den Kontaktbereichen bzw. den Direktkontakten verwendet werden können. Dies ermöglicht eine signifikante Kosteneinsparung. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass die im Stand der Technik ausgeführte Schiebebewegung durch einen Kippvorgang ersetzt wird. Hierzu umfasst die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Anordnung eine Trägerplatte, z.B. eine Leiterplatte, mit freiliegenden Kontaktbereichen und einem Trägerplattengehäuse, sowie ein Direktsteckelement mit einem Gehäuse und Direktkontakten, welche im montierten Zustand die Kontaktbereiche der Trägerplatte kontaktieren. Ferner ist eine erste lösbare Gelenkverbindung zwischen einem ersten Gelenkteil am Trägerplattengehäuse der Trägerplatte, und einem zweiten Gelenkteil am Gehäuse des Direktsteckelements vorgesehen. Ein Sicherungselement sichert das Direktsteckelement am Trägerplattengehäuse der Trägerplatte, um ein unerwünschtes Lösen der Direktsteckverbindung, z.B. aufgrund von Rüttelvorgängen am Fahrzeug, zu verhindern.In contrast, the electrical arrangement according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that a frictional path length during a Aufsteckens or removal of the direct plug element over the prior art is significantly reduced. As a result, significant signs of wear on direct contacts of the direct plug-in element and contact areas of a carrier plate can be reduced. Thus, according to the invention, the direct plug-in element can easily be disconnected from the carrier plate several times and put on again. This results in a further advantage that thinner protective layers, which are usually made of gold, can be used on the contact surfaces at the contact areas or the direct contacts. This allows a significant cost savings. This is inventively achieved in that the executed in the prior art sliding movement is replaced by a tilting. For this purpose, the electrical arrangement according to the invention comprises a carrier plate, e.g. a printed circuit board, with exposed contact areas and a carrier plate housing, and a direct plug-in element with a housing and direct contacts, which contact the contact areas of the carrier plate in the mounted state. Further, a first releasable hinge connection between a first hinge part on the support plate housing of the support plate, and a second hinge part on the housing of the direct plug element is provided. A securing element secures the male plug to the carrier plate housing of the carrier plate to prevent unwanted disengagement of the direct plug connection, e.g. due to vehicle shaking.

Um die Direktkontaktierung zwischen der Trägerplatte 2 und dem Direktsteckelement 3 wieder zu lösen, wird zuerst Druck auf die zweite Druckfläche 11 ausgeübt, um die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 zu öffnen. Anschließend wird das Direktsteckelement 3 um die erste Gelenkverbindung 6 herum wieder nach oben geschwenkt und dann das Direktsteckelement 3 von der Trägerplatte 2 durch Aushaken des zweiten Gelenkteils 62 vom ersten Gelenkteil 61 getrennt.In order to release the direct contact between the
Somit kann erfindungsgemäß eine Direktsteckverbindung nicht mehr durch eine Schiebebewegung erzeugt werden, sondern erfindungsgemäß wird die Direktsteckverbindung durch Einhaken des Direktsteckelements 3 am Trägerplattengehäuse 4 der Trägerplatte 2 und Schwenken um die so gebildete lösbare erste Gelenkverbindung 6 erhalten. Hierdurch kann insbesondere nur eine dünne Schutzschicht auf den Kontaktbereichen 51, 52, 53, 54 bzw. den Punktkontakten 36 vorgesehen werden. Dabei kann eine große Anzahl von Kontaktbereichen in mehreren Reihen vorgesehen werden. Die Anordnung der Kontaktbereiche und der Direktkontakte in mehreren Reihen hat ferner den Vorteil, dass dadurch eine Länge des Direktsteckelements 3 vergrößert wird, wodurch ein zur Montage günstiges Drehmoment durch die daraus resultierenden Hebelkräfte erhalten wird. Dadurch kann die Direktsteckverbindung mit nur geringem Kraftaufwand realisiert werden.Thus, according to the invention, a direct plug connection can no longer be produced by a sliding movement, but according to the invention the direct plug connection is obtained by hooking the
Es sei ferner angemerkt, dass für eine sichere Montage auch ein oder mehrere Anschläge vorgesehen sein können, welche die Schwenkbewegung des Direktsteckelements 3 um die erste Gelenkverbindung 6 herum beschränken. Es sei weiterhin angemerkt, dass das erste und zweite Hakenteil 81, 82 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 derart ausgebildet sein können, dass bei einem richtigen Einrasten der beiden Hakenteile ineinander ein entsprechendes Geräusch entsteht, welches einem Monteur ein akustisches Signal gibt, dass eine korrekte Direktsteckverbindung ausgeführt wurde.It should also be noted that one or more stops can be provided for secure mounting, which limit the pivoting movement of the
Um eine möglichst hohe Stabilität der ersten Gelenkverbindung 6 sowie der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 bereitzustellen, sind das erste Gelenkteil 61 und das zweite Gelenkteil 62 sowie das erste und zweite Hakenteil 81, 82 kanalartig über die gesamte Breite des Trägerplattengehäuses 4 bzw. des Gehäuses 30 des Direktsteckelements 3 vorgesehen.In order to provide the highest possible stability of the first articulated
