Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kontaktfeld für Steckverbinder.The invention relates to a contact field for connectors.

In der Netzwerktechnik ergibt sich insbesondere bei zunehmender Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit ein Problem des Nahnebensprechens und von Reflektionen an Steckverbindern.In network technology, a problem of near-end crosstalk and of reflections on connectors arises, especially with increasing transmission speed.

Insbesondere bei der beliebten Twisted-Pair Verkabelung, welche beispielhaft in Figur 1 schematisch dargestellt ist, ergibt sich ein Nahnebensprechen-Problem zwischen bestimmten Adernpaaren.Especially with the popular twisted pair cabling, which exemplifies in FIG. 1 is shown schematically, there is a Nahnebensprechen problem between certain wire pairs.

Bei einer typischen Twisted-Pair-Verkabelung wird typischerweise ein erstes Adernpaar 11, welches häufig blau, blau-weiß codiert ist, Kontakten 24 und 25 eines Steckgehäuses 5 zugeordnet. Gleichermaßen ist ein zweites Adernpaar 12, welches häufig orange, orangeweiß codiert ist, Kontakten 21 und 22 eines Steckgehäuses 5 zugeordnet. Ein drittes Adernpaar 13, welches häufig grün, grün-weiß codiert ist, ist Kontakten 23 und 26 und ein viertes Adernpaar 14, welches häufig braun, braun-weiß codiert ist, Kontakten 27 und 28 eines Steckgehäuses 5 zugeordnet.Typically, in a typical twisted-pair cabling, a first pair of wires 11, which is often coded blue, blue-white, is associated with contacts 24 and 25 of a plug-in housing 5. Similarly, a second pair of wires 12, which is often orange, orange-white coded, contacts 21 and 22 of a plug-in housing 5 assigned. A third wire pair 13, which is often coded green, green-white, contacts 23 and 26 and a fourth wire pair 14, which is often brown, brown-white coded, contacts 27 and 28 of a plug-in housing 5 assigned.

Insbesondere das dritte Adernpaar 13 führt auf Grund seiner weit auseinanderliegenden Zuordnung zu Kontakten 23 und 26 bei den anderen Adernpaaren zu vermehrten Nahnebensprechen, welches durch parallele Flächen der Adernpaare zueinander begünstigt wird.In particular, the third wire pair 13 leads due to its far apart assignment to contacts 23 and 26 in the other wire pairs to increased near-end crosstalk, which is favored by parallel surfaces of the wire pairs to each other.

Die Kontakte der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Steckverbinder sind überwiegend aus Draht hergestellt. Werden auf dem entsprechenden Gegenstück zum Steckverbinder ebenfalls Drähte für die Kontaktfläche verwendet, so kommt es häufig zu Kontaktschwierigkeiten, da häufig lediglich ein Punktkontakt zu Stande kommt. Diese Kontaktschwierigkeiten sind eine der Ursachen für Reflektionen.The contacts of the connectors known from the prior art are predominantly made of wire. If wires for the contact surface are also used on the corresponding counterpart to the connector, contact difficulties often occur, since often only one point contact comes about. These contact difficulties are one of the causes of reflections.

Versuche diesen Effekt durch Kontaktflächen zu begegnen führten in der Vergangenheit jedoch immer zu erhöhtem Nahnebensprechen.However, attempts to counteract this effect through contact surfaces have always resulted in increased near-end crosstalk in the past.

Die Erfindung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, zumindest einen der vorgenannten Nachteile in erfinderischer Weise zu vermeiden.The invention has set itself the goal of avoiding at least one of the aforementioned disadvantages in an inventive manner.

Die Erfindung schlägt als Lösung ein Kontaktfeld für einen Steckverbinder für Twisted-Pair-Verkabelungen vor. Das Kontaktfeld weist eine Mehrzahl von metallischen Kontakten zur Verbindung mit einer Twisted-Pair-Buchse auf, wobei jeder metallische Kontakt einen Zuleitungsabschnitt zur Verbindung mit einer Platine aufweist. Die metallischen Kontakte sind aus Kontaktblechen geformt, wobei wenigstens zwei der Zuleitungsabschnitte versetzt zu anderen Zuleitungsabschnitten angeordnet sind.The invention proposes as a solution a contact pad for a connector for twisted pair cabling. The contact pad has a plurality of metallic contacts for connection to a twisted pair female connector, each metal contact having a lead portion for connection to a printed circuit board. The metallic contacts are formed from contact plates, wherein at least two of the supply line sections are arranged offset to other supply line sections.

In einer Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung weist das Kontaktfeld acht metallische Kontakte auf, so dass eine Twisted-Pair-Verkabelung für gängige Systeme der Telekommunikations-, Nachrichtenübertragungs- und Computertechnik, beispielsweise ISDN- und Ethernet-Verkabelung, bereitgestellt werden kann.In one embodiment of the invention, the contact pad has eight metallic contacts, so that a twisted pair cabling for common systems of telecommunications, communications and computer technology, such as ISDN and Ethernet cabling, can be provided.

In noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung sind der dritte und sechste Zuleitungsabschnitt der Zuleitungsabschnitte versetzt zu jeweils benachbarten Zuleitungsabschnitten angeordnet.In yet another embodiment of the invention, the third and sixth supply line sections of the supply line sections are arranged offset to respectively adjacent supply line sections.

In noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung sind die Kontakte und die jeweiligen Zuleitungsabschnitte einstückig ausgeführt.In yet another embodiment of the invention, the contacts and the respective lead portions are made in one piece.

In noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung ist das Kontaktfeld ein RJ 45-Kontaktfeld.In yet another embodiment of the invention, the contact pad is an RJ 45 contact pad.

In noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung ist das Kontaktfeld geeignet, die Spezifikation nach CAT6a zu erfüllen.In yet another embodiment of the invention, the contact pad is suitable for meeting the CAT6a specification.

In noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung weist das Kontaktfeld weiterhin ein Gehäuse aus isolierendem Material auf.In yet another embodiment of the invention, the contact pad further comprises a housing made of insulating material.

In noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung ist das Kontaktfeld Teil eines Print-Einbausteckers.In yet another embodiment of the invention, the contact pad is part of a printed circuit board connector.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung näher unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren erläutert. In diesen zeigt

  • Figur 1 die schematische Zuordnung von Adernpaaren einer Twisted-Pair-Verkabelung zu den Kontakten eines Twisted-Pair Steckfeldes, insbesondere eines RJ45-Steckers,
  • Figur 2 ein Kontaktfeld eines erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders in einem ersten Detail,
  • Figur 3 eine schematische Anordnung eines erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders in einem anderen Detail, und
  • Figur 4 verschiedene Ausführungsformen von Kontaktblechen.
In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the figures. In these shows
  • FIG. 1 the schematic assignment of wire pairs of a twisted pair cabling to the contacts of a twisted pair patch panel, in particular an RJ45 plug,
  • FIG. 2 a contact field of a connector according to the invention in a first detail,
  • FIG. 3 a schematic arrangement of a connector according to the invention in another detail, and
  • FIG. 4 various embodiments of contact plates.

In Figur 2 ist ein Detail einer Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders dargestellt.In FIG. 2 a detail of an embodiment of a connector according to the invention is shown.

Hierbei weist das Kontaktfeld eine Mehrzahl von metallischen Kontakten 4 zur Verbindung mit einer Twisted-Pair-Buchse auf, wobei jeder metallische Kontakt 4 einen Zuleitungsabschnitt 6 zur Verbindung mit einer Platine 2 aufweist.In this case, the contact field has a plurality of metallic contacts 4 for connection to a twisted pair socket, wherein each metallic contact 4 has a lead portion 6 for connection to a circuit board 2.

Die metallischen Kontakte 4 sind aus Kontaktblechen geformt, wobei wenigstens zwei der Zuleitungsabschnitte 6 versetzt zu anderen Zuleitungsabschnitten 6 angeordnet sind.The metallic contacts 4 are formed from contact plates, wherein at least two of the supply line sections 6 are arranged offset to other supply line sections 6.

Wie man ohne weiteres der Zeichnung entnehmen kann, können die metallischen Kontakte 4 und die jeweiligen Zuleitungsabschnitte 6 als Teil eines Bleches - also einstückig - ausgeformt sein, so dass das Kontaktfeld auf der einen Seite den metallischen Kontakt 4 zum entsprechenden Gegenstück zum Steckverbinder aufbauen kann, auf der anderen Seite den Zuleitungsabschnitt 6 zu einer Platine hin zur Kontaktierung mit der entsprechenden Ader aufweist.As can be readily seen from the drawing, the metallic contacts 4 and the respective lead portions 6 as part of a sheet - so be integrally formed - so that the contact pad can build on one side of the metallic contact 4 to the corresponding counterpart to the connector, on the other side has the lead portion 6 to a board towards contacting with the corresponding wire.

Durch die versetzte Anordnung von Zuleitungsabschnitten 6, in der Figur 3 Zuleitungsabschnitte 23 und 26, welche bezogen auf Ihre Anordnung auf einer Platine 2 versetzt angeordnet zu den anderen Zuleitungsabschnitten 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 28 sind, wird erreicht, dass parallele Flächen zugeordneter benachbarter Adernpaare 11, 12, 13, 14 gemäß Figur 1 reduziert werden.Due to the staggered arrangement of supply sections 6, in the FIG. 3 Lead portions 23 and 26, which are related to their arrangement on a board 2 offset from the other lead portions 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 28, it is achieved that parallel surfaces associated adjacent pairs of wires 11, 12, 13, 14 according to FIG. 1 be reduced.

In einer typischen Twisted-Pair-Verkabelung entsprechen die Zuleitungsabschnitte 23 und 26 wie zuvor in Figur 1 gezeigt dem dritten Adernpaar, welches zu starkem Nahnebensprechen in die anderen Adernpaare neigt.In typical twisted pair cabling, the lead portions 23 and 26 are as in FIG FIG. 1 shown the third wire pair, which tends to strong near-end crosstalk in the other wire pairs.

Durch Vermeidung paralleler Flächen dieses dritten Adernpaares 13 zu den anderen Aderpaaren 11, 12, 14 im Bereich der Zuleitungsabschnitte 6 selbst, wird das Nahnebensprechen wirksam verringert.By avoiding parallel surfaces of this third pair of wires 13 to the other pair of wires 11, 12, 14 in the area of the lead sections 6 itself, the near-end crosstalk is effectively reduced.

Der Kontakt zur Platine kann mittels eines Platinenanschluss 7, z.B. in Form einer Lötnase - siehe Figur 4 - oder aber für Oberflächenmontage wie sie aus der SMD-Technik bekannt ist durch Bereitstellung einer entsprechend gebogenen Fläche erreicht werden.The contact to the board can by means of a board connection 7, for example in the form of a Lötnase - see FIG. 4 - Or for surface mounting as it is known from the SMD technology by providing a correspondingly curved surface can be achieved.

Auch hier kann durch eine entsprechende Platzierung des Platinenanschluss 7 die parallele Fläche weiter reduziert werden. Dies kann sehr einfach in Figur 4 gesehen werden.Again, by a corresponding placement of the board connector 7, the parallel surface can be further reduced. This can be very easy in FIG. 4 be seen.

In der Figur 4 sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen erfindungsgemäßer Kontaktbleche dargestellt.In the FIG. 4 Various embodiments of inventive contact sheets are shown.

Auf der äußerst linken oberen Hälfte ist eine L-förmige Ausführungsform eines Kontaktbleches 4 schematisch dargestellt. Im oberen Bereich befindet sich schwarz eingefärbt der Kontaktbereich 8, der zur Kontaktierung mit einer Buchse dient. Daran anschließend befindet sich der Zuleitungsabschnitt 6 gefolgt von einem Platinenanschluss 7.On the extreme left upper half of an L-shaped embodiment of a contact plate 4 is shown schematically. In the upper area is colored black the contact area 8, which serves to make contact with a socket. Following this, the supply line section 6 is followed by a board connection 7.

In der mittleren linken oberen Hälfte ist eine entsprechende C-förmige Ausführungsform dargestellt. Im oberen Bereich befindet sich schwarz eingefärbt der Kontaktbereich 8, der zur Kontaktierung mit einer Buchse dient. Daran anschließend befindet sich der Zuleitungsabschnitt 6 gefolgt von einem Platinenanschluss 7.In the middle left upper half of a corresponding C-shaped embodiment is shown. In the upper area is colored black the contact area 8, which serves to make contact with a socket. Following this, the supply line section 6 is followed by a board connection 7.

Unter den beiden linken oberen Ausführungsformen ist die versetzte Anordnung der jeweils selben Ausführungsform dargestellt. Wie man deutlich erkennen kann sind die Abschnitte 6 der jeweils oberen Darstellung gegenüber der unteren Darstellung versetzt. Gleiches gilt auch für die Platinenanschlüsse 7, die ebenfalls versetzt angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise lassen sich mittels einer einzigen Form von Kontaktblechen 4 beide Anordnungen realisieren Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht hierauf beschränkt.Under the two upper left embodiments, the staggered arrangement of the same embodiment is shown. As can be clearly seen, the sections 6 of the respective upper illustration are offset from the lower illustration. The same applies to the board connections 7, which are also arranged offset. In this way, by means of a single form of contact plates 4, both arrangements can be realized. However, the invention is not limited thereto.

Wie man auf der rechten Hälfte der Abbildung 4 sieht, können auch unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen von Kontaktblechen 4 miteinander kombiniert werden, um eine versetzte Anordnung der Zuleitungsabschnitte 6 zu erreichen.As you can see on the right half of Figure 4 sees, different embodiments of contact plates 4 can be combined with each other to achieve an offset arrangement of the lead portions 6.

In der mittleren rechten Hälfte ist eine L-förmige Ausführungsform eines Kontaktbleches 4 im Vergleich zu einer I-förmigen Ausführungsform dargestellt. Wiederum sind hier die Kontaktbereiche 8 schwarz eingefärbt.In the middle right half of an L-shaped embodiment of a contact plate 4 is shown in comparison to an I-shaped embodiment. Again, the contact areas 8 are colored black here.

In der äußerst rechten Hälfte ist eine C-förmige Ausführungsform eines Kontaktbleches 4 im Vergleich zu einer I-förmigen Ausführungsform dargestellt. Wiederum sind hier die Kontaktbereiche 8 schwarz eingefärbt.In the extreme right half a C-shaped embodiment of a contact plate 4 is shown in comparison to an I-shaped embodiment. Again, the contact areas 8 are colored black here.

Es ist ohne weiteres ersichtlich, dass die jeweiligen Zuleitungsabschnitte der oberen Hälfte versetzt zu den Zuleitungsabschnitten der unteren Hälfte angeordnet sind. Gleiches gilt auch für die Platinenanschlüsse 7, die ebenfalls versetzt angeordnet sind.It is readily apparent that the respective lead portions of the upper half are offset from the lead portions of the lower half. The same applies to the board connections 7, which are also arranged offset.

Es ist ohne weiteres ersichtlich, dass natürlich auch Mischformen aus L-förmigen und C-förmigen Kontaktblechen 6 zum selben Ergebnis führen.It is readily apparent that, of course, mixed forms of L-shaped and C-shaped contact plates 6 lead to the same result.

Wesentlich ist, dass zumindest Teile des Zuleitungsabschnittes 6 nicht parallel zueinander sind.It is essential that at least parts of the feed section 6 are not parallel to one another.

Durch diese versetzten Anordnungen kann das Nahnebensprechen reduziert werden.By these staggered arrangements, the near-end crosstalk can be reduced.

Weiterhin ermöglicht die Verwendung von Kontaktblechen eine stabile Verbindung zum entsprechenden Gegenstück des Steckverbinders, so dass - auch wenn dieses Gegenstück mit Drähten ausgestattet sein sollte - nun ein verbesserter Kontakt hergestellt werden kann, da nun der Draht sich nahezu flächig an das Kontaktblech anlegen kann, wodurch eine vergrößerte Kontaktfläche entsteht.Furthermore, the use of contact plates allows a stable connection to the corresponding counterpart of the connector, so that - even if this counterpart should be equipped with wires - now an improved contact can be made, since now the wire can create almost flat against the contact plate, which an enlarged contact surface is created.

Hiermit ermöglicht die Erfindung eines oder mehrere der zuvor genannten Probleme wirkungsvoll zu lösen. Insbesondere löst die Erfindung den bisherigen Gegensatz auf, der die Verwendung von Blechen für flächige Kontakte im Hinblick auf ein zuvor zu verzeichnendes erhöhtes Nahnebensprechen ausschloss.Hereby, the invention makes it possible to effectively solve one or more of the aforementioned problems. In particular, the invention solves the previous contrast, which precluded the use of sheets for planar contacts in view of a previously recorded increased near-end crosstalk.

In einer Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung weist das Kontaktfeld acht metallische Kontakte 4 auf, so dass eine Twisted-Pair-Verkabelung für gängige Systeme der Telekommunikations-, Nachrichtenübertragungs- und Computertechnik, beispielsweise ISDN- und Ethernet-Verkabelung, bereitgestellt werden kann. Typischerweise ist dann das Kontaktfeld ein RJ45-Kontaktfeld.In one embodiment of the invention, the contact pad has eight metallic contacts 4, so that a twisted pair cabling for common systems of telecommunications, communications and computer technology, such as ISDN and Ethernet cabling, can be provided. Typically, the contact pad is then an RJ45 contact pad.

Durch die Erfindung ist es möglich Steckverbinder bereitzustellen, die die Spezifikation gemäß CAT6a und höher erfüllen.The invention makes it possible to provide connectors which meet the specification according to CAT6a and higher.

In noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung weist das Kontaktfeld weiterhin ein Gehäuse 5 aus isolierendem Material auf.In yet another embodiment of the invention, the contact pad further comprises a housing 5 made of insulating material.

Dieses Gehäuse 5 dient als Aufnahme für die Kontakte und kann beispielsweise die metallischen Kontakte 4 als Steckfeld zur Verfügung stellen, während es auf der anderen Seite über entsprechende Laschen für eine Printmontage auf einer Platine 2 verfügen kann.This housing 5 serves as a receptacle for the contacts and can, for example, provide the metallic contacts 4 as a plug-in field, while on the other side it can have corresponding tabs for a print mounting on a circuit board 2.

Besonders bevorzugt ist, dass die metallischen Kontakte einstückig und gleichartig, z.B. L-förmig oder C-förmig, ausgeführt sind.It is particularly preferred that the metallic contacts are integral and similar, e.g. L-shaped or C-shaped, are executed.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist eine L-förmige Ausführung dargestellt.In the Figures 2 and 3 is an L-shaped design shown.

Diese erweist sich, ebenso wie die C-förmige Ausführung, als besonders geeignet, da hierdurch nur ein einziges Stanzwerkzeug für alle Kontakte benötigt wird und die versetzten Kontakte durch eine 180° gedrehte Anordnung des L-förmigen Blechstückes erreicht werden kann.This proves, as well as the C-shaped design, as particularly suitable, since this only a single punching tool is required for all contacts and the offset contacts can be achieved by a 180 ° rotated arrangement of the L-shaped piece of sheet metal.

Durch die L-förmige Ausführung wird zum Einen eine versetzte Anordnung auf der Platine 2 erreicht, als auch die parallele Fläche minimiert. Weiterhin erlaubt die L-Form eine mechanisch stabile Ausführung der Kontakte.By the L-shaped design, on the one hand, a staggered arrangement on the board 2 is achieved, as well as minimizes the parallel surface. Furthermore, the L-shape allows a mechanically stable design of the contacts.

In einem bevorzugten Herstellungsprozess werden in ein Gehäuse 5 Kontaktbleche 4 eingesetzt. Beim Einsetzen wird die Orientierung der Kontaktbleche 4 berücksichtigt, d.h. bei einem RJ45-Stecker werden der 3. und 6. Kontakt um 180° gedreht zu den anderen Kontakten eingesetzt.In a preferred manufacturing process 5 contact plates 4 are used in a housing. When inserting the orientation of the contact plates 4 is taken into account, i. with a RJ45 plug, the 3rd and 6th contacts are turned through 180 ° to the other contacts.

Das Einsetzen selbst kann ein Einpressen sein. Andere Maßnahmen zur Fixierung der Kontakte im Gehäuse 5 sind natürlich auch verwendbar.The insertion itself can be a press-fit. Other measures for fixing the contacts in the housing 5 are of course also usable.

Anschließend wird das entstandene Kontaktfeld als Platinenstecker mit einer konstruktiv aufbereiteten Platine 2 verbunden. Eine solche Platine 2 kann auch weitere Kontaktfelder 3 für die Verbindung mit den Adernpaaren 11, 12, 13, 14 als auch eine weitere Beschaltung z.B. von Ausgleichsnetzwerken, Sicherungselementen oder ähnlichem, aufweisen.Subsequently, the resulting contact field is connected as a board connector with a structurally processed board 2. Such a board 2 can also be further contact fields 3 for the connection with the pairs of wires 11, 12, 13, 14 and a further wiring, e.g. compensation networks, security elements or the like.

Hierzu kann der Platinenanschluss 7 als Stiftkontakte zur Einführung in entsprechende Löt-Öffnungen einer Platine 2 ausgeführt sein.For this purpose, the board connection 7 can be designed as pin contacts for insertion into corresponding solder openings of a board 2.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann der Platinenanschluss 7 zur r Oberflächenverlötung auf entsprechenden Lötpads einer Platine 2 ausgeführt sein.In an alternative embodiment, the board connection 7 may be designed for surface soldering on corresponding solder pads of a board 2.
