Abstract

The subject-matter of the invention is a plug connector for flat ribbon cable (3), having a housing upper part (1), consisting of insulating material, in which a number of parallel guide channels (4) for contact elements having insulation-piercing terminals (5), and a transverse groove (2), which passes through the guide channels, for the flat ribbon cable (3) are arranged, and having a housing lower part (10) which consists of insulating material and in which a number of parallel guide channels (11) for contact elements are likewise arranged. In order to create a plug connector which is easy to instal and in which as many contacts as possible can be accommodated and can reliably make contact with one another in a very confined space, it is proposed that the insulation-piercing terminals (5) of the contact elements in the housing upper part (1) be integrally connected to flat blades (6) located in the same plane, that the contact elements in the housing lower part (10) be constructed as fork-spring contacts (12) and be arranged at right angles to the flat blades (6), and that the flat blades (6) and fork-spring contacts (12) engage over one another and make contact with one another in a contact channel (14) which is formed by the housing upper and lower parts (1, 10). <IMAGE>

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Steckverbinderfür Flachbandkabel mit einem Gehäuseoberteil aus Isolierstoff, in dem eine Anzahl paralleler Führungskanäle für Kontaktelemente mit Schneidklemmen und ein die Führungskanäle durchsetzender Querschlitz für das Flachbandkabel angeordnet sind, und mit einem Gehäuseunterteil aus Isolierstoff, in dem ebenfalls eine Anzahl paralleler Führungskanäle für Kontaktelemente angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a connector for ribbon cables with an upper part made of insulating material, in which a number of parallel guide channels for contact elements with insulation displacement terminals and a transverse slot for the ribbon cable passing through the guide channels are arranged, and with a lower part made of insulating material, in which a number of parallel guide channels for Contact elements are arranged.

Aus der DE-PS 25 45 791 ist ein Kontaktanschlußstück für Flachbandkabel bekannt, dessen Kontaktgehäuse aus einem Teil besteht und in dem die Kontaktelemente in Führungskanälen von einer ersten Verriegelungslage, in der sich die Schneidklemmen außerhalb eines Querschlitzes für das Flachbandkabel befinden, in eine zweite Verriegelungslage beweglich sind, in der die Schneidklemmen in den Querschlitz zum Kontaktieren der Kabeladern hineinreichen. Bei diesem bekannten Kontaktanschlußstück ist die Bauhöhe durch den Abstand der beiden Verriegelungslagen für die Schneidklemmen verlängert. Außerdem sind die Schneidklemmen mit Gabelfederkontakten zum Kontaktieren einer Schaltungsplatte verbunden. Die Gabelfederkontakte haben eine verhältnismäßig große Baubreite, welche das Tei lungsmaß fürdie Anordnung der Schneidklemmen im Kontaktgehäuse vergrößert.From DE-PS 25 45 791 a contact connector for ribbon cable is known, the contact housing consists of one part and in which the contact elements in guide channels from a first locking position, in which the insulation displacement terminals are located outside a transverse slot for the ribbon cable, in a second locking position are movable, in which the insulation displacement terminals extend into the transverse slot for contacting the cable wires. In this known contact fitting, the overall height is extended by the distance between the two locking positions for the insulation displacement terminals. The insulation displacement terminals are also connected to fork spring contacts for contacting a circuit board. The fork spring contacts have a relatively large width, which increases the pitch for the arrangement of the insulation displacement terminals in the contact housing.

Aus der DE-AS 17 65 512 ist eine Steckverbinder mit einem Gehäuseoberteil aus Isolierstoff bekannt, welches aus einem Kontakthalterglied und einem Kabelandrückglied besteht. In dem Kabelandrückglied sind Führungskanäle für Kontaktelemente mit Schneidklemmen angeordnet. Das Flachbandkabel wird zwischen diesen beiden Konstruktionsteilen eingelegt. Bei diesem bekannten Steckverbinder besteht das Gehäuseunterteil ebenfalls aus Isolierstoff und hat eine Anzahl paralleler Führungskanäle für die im Kontakthalterglied befestigten Kontaktelemente. Die Schneidklemmen der Kontaktelemente sind bei diesem bekannten Steckverbinder in dergleichen Ebene angeordnet wie die in das Gehäuseunterteil hineinragenden Stiftkontakte.From DE-AS 17 65 512 a connector with an upper housing part made of insulating material is known, which consists of a contact holder member and a cable pressure member. Guide channels for contact elements with insulation displacement terminals are arranged in the cable pressure element. The ribbon cable is inserted between these two construction parts. In this known connector, the lower housing part also consists of insulating material and has a number of parallel guide channels for the contact elements fastened in the contact holder member. In this known connector, the insulation displacement terminals of the contact elements are arranged in the same plane as the pin contacts protruding into the lower housing part.

Schließlich ist aus der DE 36 21 223 noch eine Anschlußleiste für elektrische Leitungen bekannt, bei der die Schneidklemmen im Gehäuseoberteil mit in der gleichen Ebene liegenden Kontaktfedern für eine Steckzunge verbunden sind.Finally, from DE 36 21 223 a terminal block for electrical lines is known, in which the insulation displacement connectors in the upper part of the housing are connected to contact springs for a tongue located in the same plane.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen einfach zu montierenden Steckverbinder für Flachbandkabel zu schaffen, in dem auf engstem Raum möglichst viele Kontakte untergebracht und zuverlässig miteinander kontaktiert werden können.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to create an easy-to-assemble plug connector for ribbon cables, in which as many contacts as possible can be accommodated and reliably contacted with one another in the smallest space.

Als technische Lösung wird dafür vorgeschlagen, daß die Schneidklemmen der Kontaktelemente im Gehäuseoberteil einteilig mit in der gleichen Ebene liegenden Flachmessern verbunden sind, daß die Kontaktelemente im Gehäuseunterteil als Gabelfederkontakte ausgebildet und im rechten Winkel zu den Flachmessern angeordnet sind und daß die Flachmesser und Gabelfederkontakte in einem von den Gehäuseober- und -unterteilen gebildeten Kontaktkanal sich übergreifen und kontaktieren.As a technical solution it is proposed that the insulation displacement contacts of the contact elements in the upper part of the housing are connected in one piece to flat knives lying in the same plane, that the contact elements in the lower part of the housing are designed as fork spring contacts and are arranged at right angles to the flat knives and that the flat knives and fork spring contacts are all in one of the upper and lower parts of the contact channel formed overlap and contact.

Ein erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeter Steckverbinder hat durch die einteiligen und in der gleichen Ebene liegenden Schneidklemmen und Flachmesser eine sehr geringe Teilung, die bis auf 2,5 mm reduziert werden kann. Durch die Ausbildung der Kontaktelemente im Gehäuseunterteil als Gabelfederkontakte, die im rechten Winkel zu den Flachmessern angeordnet sind, kann auch bei diesen das kleine Teilungsmaß von nur 2,5 mm eingehalten werden. Schließlich besteht noch ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Steckverbinders darin, daß die Kontaktzone in einem von den Gehäuseober- und -unterteilen gebildeten allseitig geschlossenen Kontaktkanal liegt, so daß die kleinen und sich nur auf ca. 2 mm überiappenden Kontaktelemente sehr geschützt untergebracht sind und sich zuverlässig kontaktieren können.A connector designed according to the invention has a very small pitch, which can be reduced to 2.5 mm, due to the one-piece insulation displacement connectors and flat knives lying in the same plane. By designing the contact elements in the lower part of the housing as fork spring contacts, which are arranged at right angles to the flat knives, the small pitch of only 2.5 mm can also be maintained. Finally, there is another significant advantage of the connector designed according to the invention that the contact zone is located in a contact channel formed on all sides and formed by the upper and lower parts of the housing, so that the small contact elements, which only overlap to about 2 mm, are accommodated and protected can contact reliably.

Bei einer praktischen Ausführungsform haben die Flachmesser wenigstens an einer Schmalseite einen Widerhaken für eine rutschfeste Verbindung mit dem Gehäuseoberteil. Auch die Gabelfederkontakte werden zweckmäßig an ihren Schmalseiten mit Widerhaken versehen, um eine rutschfeste Verbindung mit dem Gehäuseunterteil zu erzielen.In a practical embodiment, the flat knives have at least on one narrow side a barb for a non-slip connection to the upper housing part. The fork spring contacts are also conveniently provided with barbs on their narrow sides in order to achieve a non-slip connection with the lower housing part.

Bei der kleinen Teilung zwischen den Kontaktelementen von nur 2,5 mm hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, benachbarte Gabelfederkontakte mit versetzt zueinander angeordneten Lötanschlüssen zu versehen, um die Verlötung problemlos durchzuführen.With the small pitch of only 2.5 mm between the contact elements, it has proven to be expedient to provide adjacent fork spring contacts with offset solder connections in order to carry out the soldering without problems.

Um ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der beiden Gehäuseteile voneinander zu vermeiden, wird vorgeschlagen, in einer Seitenwand des Gehäuseoberteils wenigstens ein Fenster und an einer darunterliegenden Seitenwand des Gehäuseunterteiles wenigstens einen Rastnocken anzuordnen.In order to avoid unintentional detachment of the two housing parts from one another, it is proposed to arrange at least one window in a side wall of the upper housing part and at least one latching cam on an underlying side wall of the lower housing part.

Schließlich kann der Querschlitz für das Flachbandkabel im Gehäuseoberteil an seiner Mündung mit Schrägflächen erweitert sein, um ein automatisches Einfädeln des Flachbandkabels in den Querschlitz zu ermöglichen. Das Kontaktieren der Kabeladern in dem Flachbandkabel mit den Schneidklemmen erfolgt in einem Arbeitsgang.Finally, the cross slot for the ribbon cable in the upper part of the housing can be widened at its mouth with inclined surfaces in order to enable the ribbon cable to be automatically threaded into the cross slot. The contact of the cable wires in the ribbon cable with the insulation displacement clamps takes place in one operation.

Für den Aufgabenteil der Montagevereinfachung wird als technische Lösung vorgeschlagen, daß das in den Querschlitz des Gehäuseoberteiles eingeführte Flachbandkabel in einem Arbeitsgang mit den Schneidklemmen kontaktiert wird.For the part of the task of simplifying the assembly, it is proposed as a technical solution that the ribbon cable inserted into the transverse slot of the upper part of the housing in one operation with the cutting clamps is contacted.

Aus diesem Montageverfahren resultiert der Vorteil, daß die maximale Bauhöhe im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik erheblich reduziert werden kann, weil eine Vorraststellung für die Schneidklemmen im Gehäuseunterteil entfällt, Die maximale Bauhöhe des Steckverbinders wird nur noch bestimmt durch die Gesamtlänge der aus einer Schneidklemme und einem Flachmesser bestehenden Kontaktelemente, die nach dem Kontaktieren der Flachbandkabel geschützt im Gehäuseoberteil angeordnet sein müssen.This assembly method has the advantage that the maximum overall height can be considerably reduced compared to the prior art, because there is no pre-locking position for the insulation displacement connectors in the lower part of the housing. The maximum installation height of the connector is only determined by the total length of one insulation displacement connector and one Flat knife existing contact elements that must be arranged protected in the upper part of the housing after contacting the ribbon cable.

In einem Gehäuseoberteil 1 aus Isolierstoff ist am oberen Ende ein Querschlitz 2 für ein Flachbandkabel 3 angeordnet. Der Querschlitz 2 wird von Führungskanälen 4 durchsetzt, in denen Schneidklemmen 5 angeordnet sind, die sich in Flachmesser 6 fortsetzen. Damit sich die Schneidklemmen/Flachmesser 5,6 nach der Montage und Kontaktierung in ihren Führungskanälen 4 nicht mehr verschieben können, sind seitliche Widerhaken 7 vorgesehen, welche sich in Seitenwänden bzw. Zwischenwänden des Gehäuseoberteiles 1 verhaken.In a housing upper part 1 made of insulating material, a cross slot 2 for a ribbon cable 3 is arranged at the upper end. The transverse slot 2 is penetrated by guide channels 4, in which insulation displacement clamps 5 are arranged, which continue in the flat knife 6. So that the insulation displacement clamps / flat knives 5, 6 can no longer move in their guide channels 4 after assembly and contacting, lateral barbs 7 are provided, which hook into side walls or intermediate walls of the upper housing part 1.

In einem Gehäuseunterteil 10 sind in Führungskanälen 11 Gabelfederkontakte 12 angeordnet, die mit Lötanschlüssen 13 aus dem Gehäuseunterteil 10 herausragen.In a lower housing part 10 11 fork spring contacts 12 are arranged in guide channels, which protrude from the lower housing part 10 with solder connections 13.

Das Gehäuseoberteil 1 und das Gehäuseunterteil 10 sind ineinandergesteckt und bilden zwischen den sich kreuzenden Führungskanälen 4 und 11 einen durchgehenden Kontaktkanal 14, in dem die Kontaktierung zwischen den Flachmessern 6 und den Gabelfedern 12 stattfindet.The upper housing part 1 and the lower housing part 10 are inserted into one another and form a continuous contact channel 14 between the intersecting guide channels 4 and 11, in which the contact between the flat blades 6 and the fork springs 12 takes place.

Um ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Gehäuseoberteiles 1 vom Gehäuseunterteil 10 zu vermeiden, ist in einer Seitenwand 15 des Gehäuseoberteiles 1 ein Fenster 16 angeordnet, in welches ein Rastnocken 17 an einer Seitenwand 18 des Gehäuseunterteiles 10 eingreift.In order to avoid unintentional detachment of the upper housing part 1 from the lower housing part 10, a window 16 is arranged in a side wall 15 of the upper housing part 1, into which a latching cam 17 engages on a side wall 18 of the lower housing part 10.

Die Lötanschlüsse 13 benachbarter Gabelfederkontakte 12 sind wechselweise auf verschiedenen Seiten angeordnet, um größere Abstände zu schaffen, zwischen denen eine Verlötung möglich ist.The solder connections 13 of adjacent fork spring contacts 12 are alternately arranged on different sides in order to create larger distances between which soldering is possible.

Die Montage eines erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Steckverbinders erfolgt in der Weise, daß zunächst das Flachbandkabel 3 in den Querschlitz 2 eingeführt wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Querschlitz 2 an seiner Mündung mit Schrägflächen 19 versehen. Danach werden die Schneidklemmen 5 bzw. Flachmesser 6 in ihre Führungskanäle 4 eingeführt und in einem Arbeitsgang mit den Kabeladern des Flachbandkabels 3 kontaktiert.A connector designed according to the invention is installed in such a way that the ribbon cable 3 is first inserted into the transverse slot 2. For this purpose, the transverse slot 2 is provided with inclined surfaces 19 at its mouth. Then the insulation displacement clamps 5 or flat knives 6 are inserted into their guide channels 4 and contacted with the cable cores of the flat ribbon cable 3 in one operation.

Die Gehäuseunterteile 10 werden getrennt von den Gehäuseoberteilen 1 mit den Gabelfederkontakten 12 bestückt. Danach können dann die Gehäuseoberteile 1 vormontierter Kabelbäume auf die Gehäuseunterteile 10 gesteckt und die auf die Weise komplettierten Kabelbäume in Verkehr gebracht werden.The lower housing parts 10 are fitted separately from the upper housing parts 1 with the fork spring contacts 12. Then the upper housing parts 1 of preassembled cable harnesses can be plugged onto the lower housing parts 10 and the cable harnesses thus completed can be brought into circulation.
