Abstract

Es wird ein Steckverbinderprinzip angegeben mit zahl­ reichen speziellen Ausführungsformen. Eine Ausführungs­ form wird gebildet durch eine Buchsenleiste (11) und eine mit dieser zu kontaktierende Leiterplatte (23). Die Buchsenlei­ sie trägt zwei Reihen schwach elastischer Kontaktelemente (25), deren Kontaktflächen nach innen weisen. Die Kontakte­ lemente werden aussen durch strangförmige Elastikelemen­ te (31) berührt. Diese sind in Schlitzöffnungen (19) in den Längswänden der Buchsenleiste unverlierbar gelagert und ragen seitlich über die Längsseiten 20 heraus. A connector principle is specified with number rich special embodiments. An execution form is formed by a socket strip (11) and with this circuit board (23) to be contacted. The jack bush it carries two rows of weakly elastic contact elements (25), whose contact surfaces point inwards. The contacts elements are formed on the outside by strand-like elastic elements te (31) touched. These are in slot openings (19) in the Longitudinal walls of the socket strip stored and captive protrude laterally over the long sides 20.

Die Leiterplatte (23) kann mit ihren Kontaktstreifen (30), die auf einem Vorsprung (22) enden in die Oeffnung (17) der Buchsenleiste (1) eingesteckt werden. Die Leiterplatte trägt auf beiden Seiten starr mit ihr verbundene Klammerelemen­ te (37). Diese weisen L-förmigen Querschnitt auf, und ihre Innenseiten sind keilförmig angeschrägt. The circuit board (23) with its contact strips (30), which on a projection (22) end in the opening (17) of the Socket strip (1) can be inserted. The circuit board carries clamp elements rigidly connected to it on both sides te (37). These have an L-shaped cross section, and theirs The inside is bevelled.

Die Leiterplatte (23) und die Klammerelemente (37) schnäbeln zu Beginn des Steckvorgangs kraftfrei an. Bei weiterem Einschieben werden die Elastikelemente (31) durch die Klammerelemente (37) elastisch verformt und ins Innere der Buchsenleiste (11) gedrückt, wo sie die Kontaktelemente (25) gegen die Kontaktstreifen (30) der Leiterplatte (23) drücken. Am Ende des Steckvorgangs ergibt sich ein sicherer Stecksitz-, da aus den verformten Elastikelementen (31) keine Kraft resultiert, die entgegen der Steckrichtung (S) die selbständige Trennung der Buchsenleiste (11) und der Leiterplatte (23) bewirken könnte. The printed circuit board (23) and the clamp elements (37) bite at the beginning of the plugging process without force. At The elastic elements (31) are pushed in further the clamp elements (37) are elastically deformed and inside the female connector (11) where it touches the contact elements (25) against the contact strips (30) of the printed circuit board (23) to press. At the end of the plugging process there is a more secure one Plug-in, since none of the deformed elastic elements (31) The resulting force is opposite to the direction of insertion (S) independent separation of the socket strip (11) and the PCB (23) could cause.
