Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for producing a flat connector comb (1) which can be moulded into an enclosure, according to which a group of interconnected flat connector combs (1) are punched out from a metal strip. Terminal ends (2) or terminal regions (2) are bent according to a desired configuration. The region (3) between the connector pins (5) and the terminal ends (2) is encapsulated with plastic (4), with the result that all the comb parts are stably fixed there with respect to one another. Connecting cross-pieces (6) between connector comb parts, which serve only for fixing the comb parts before encapsulation, are punched away.

Description

Die vorliegenden Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Her­ stellung eines in ein Gerätegehäuse eingießbaren Flachstec­ kerkamms.The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing position of a flat tec pourable into a device housing comb.

Nach einem herkömmlichen Verfahren wird ein Flachsteckerkamm hergestellt, in dem seine Bestandteile in ein Spritzwerkzeug eingelegt werden, wo diese dann umspritzt werden, um anschließend ein zusammenhängendes Gebilde zu bilden. Bei diesem Verfahren ist nachteilig, daß einerseits das Einlegen der Bestandteile ein Verfahrensschritt ist, der viel Sorg­ falt erfordert und eine genaue Ausrichtung der Teile zuein­ ander. Hinzu kommt, daß möglicherweise die Bestandteile ei­ nes Leiterkamms miteinander elektrisch verbunden werden müs­ sen, beispielsweise über eine Lötverbindung. Diese Umstände machen den Herstellungsprozeß komplizierter und daher lang­ wieriger und teurer. Das Ergebnis ist dabei von der Präzision abhängig, mit der die oben erwähnten Verfahrensschritte durchgeführt werden können.A flat connector comb is made according to a conventional method manufactured in which its components in an injection mold be inserted where they are then encapsulated then form a coherent structure. At This method has the disadvantage that on the one hand the insertion of the components is a process step that requires a lot of care requires folding and precise alignment of the parts at the. In addition, the components may be egg must be electrically connected to each other sen, for example via a solder connection. These circumstances make the manufacturing process more complicated and therefore long more difficult and more expensive. The result is precision depending on the process steps mentioned above can be carried out.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Herstellungsverfahren eines solchen Flachsteckerkamms we­ sentlich zu vereinfachen und dabei die Präzision der Anord­ nung seiner Bestandteile noch zu erhöhen.The present invention has for its object that Manufacturing process of such a flat plug comb we to simplify considerably while maintaining the precision of the arrangement of its components.

Diese Aufgabe wird anspruchsgemäß gelöst. In den Unteran­ sprüchen sind bevorzugte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsge­ mäßen Verfahrens beansprucht.This task is solved according to the requirements. In the Unteran sayings are preferred embodiments of the fiction claimed method.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Beschreibung ei­ nes Ausführungsbeispiels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert. Darin zeigen:In the following the invention based on the description Nes embodiment of the method according to the invention explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. In this demonstrate:

Fig. 1 einen Vierfach-Vorumspritzling gemäß der vorlie­ genden Erfindung, Fig. 1 is a quadruple according to the Vorumspritzling vorlie constricting invention,

Fig. 2 einen Flachsteckerkamm, bei dem das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren Anwendung findet, und die Fig. 2 shows a flat connector comb, in which the inventive method is used, and the

Fig. 3A bis 3C den umspritzten Leiterkamm. Figs. 3A to 3C, the over-molded conductor comb.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Vierfach-Vorumspritzling, der aus einem Metallband herausgestanzt und vereinzelt wurde. In dieser Form wird der Vorumspritzling in das Spritzwerkzeug einge­ legt. Zuvor werden noch Biegevorgänge an bestimmten An­ schlußfahnen 2 vorgenommen, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist. Fig. 1 shows a four-way pre-molded part which has been punched out of a metal strip and separated. In this form, the pre-molded part is placed in the injection mold. Beforehand, bending operations are carried out at certain circuit flags 2 , as can be seen from FIG. 2.

Dann erfolgt die Umspritzung des Bereichs 3 zwischen den Steckerstiften 5 und den Anschlußenden 2 mit Kunststoff 4, so daß nun alle Kammteile stabil relativ zueinander fixiert sind.Then the area 3 is overmolded between the connector pins 5 and the connection ends 2 with plastic 4 , so that all of the comb parts are now fixed relative to one another.

Die Fig. 3A und 3B zeigen den mit Kunststoff umspritzten mittleren Bereich 3 des Flachsteckerkamms. Fig. 3B zeigt ferner, daß im kunststoffumgossenen Teil 4 aus einer An­ schlußfahne eine Zunge herausgestanzt wurde und parallel versetzt zu den übrigen Anschlußfahnen verläuft. Diese Zunge 8 hat an ihrem Ende eine abisolierende Anschlußfahne. Diese Herausführung der Zunge 8 in einer zweiten Ebene parallel zur Ebene der anderen Flachstecker ist ein sehr raumsparen­ des Design. FIGS. 3A and 3B show the middle region 3 of the flat connector comb which is overmolded with plastic. Fig. 3B also shows that in the plastic-molded part 4 from a circuit flag on a tongue was punched out and offset parallel to the other connecting lugs. This tongue 8 has a stripping terminal lug at its end. This lead-out of the tongue 8 in a second plane parallel to the plane of the other flat plugs is a very space-saving design.

In einem letzten Schritt werden nach dem Umspritzen des mittleren Bereichs des Flachsteckerkamms Verbindungsstege 6 weggestanzt, die die Flachstecker untereinander verbunden und lagefixiert haben.In a last step, after the overmolding of the central region of the flat connector comb, connecting webs 6 are punched out, which have connected the flat connectors to one another and fixed them in position.

Anschlußenden und Steckerenden werden vor dem Biegen mit einer die Leitfähigkeit verbessernden Metallschicht, z. B. Gold, beschichtet. Das Grundmaterial des Flachsteckerkamms ist beispielsweise eine CaSn6F41-Legierung.The ends of the connectors and the ends of the connectors are coated with a metal layer that improves conductivity, e.g. B. gold coated. The base material of the flat connector comb is, for example, a CaSn 6 F 41 alloy.

Das Auskühlen des plastikumspritzten Mittelteils des Flach­ steckerkamms wird dadurch beschleunigt, daß dort, wo es die Konfiguration der Leiterbahn zuläßt, mehr oder weniger große durchgehende Fenster im Kunststoff vorgesehen sind, um die auszukühlende Masse zu verringern.The cooling of the plastic-molded middle part of the flat stepping comb is accelerated by the fact that where it is the Configuration of the trace allows more or less large through-going windows are provided in the plastic to the reduce the mass to be cooled.

Das vorstehend beschriebene Verfahren bewirkt eine Einspa­ rung von Verfahrensschritten bei der Herstellung eines Flachsteckerkamms und erhöht darüber hinaus die Präzision der Zuordnung der einzelnen Kammelemente zueinander.The method described above saves tion of process steps in the manufacture of a Flat connector comb and also increases precision the assignment of the individual comb elements to each other.
