Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a connector with arranged in an insulating body contact elements, which are provided with a plug contact end and a Lötan gleichende, wherein the Lötan gleichende is designed for surface mounting on a circuit board.
- Connectors are provided to improve the transmission characteristics of high-frequency signals with suitable contacts for surface mounting, with good coplanarity of the contacts with respect to the solder joints on the circuit board is required.
- an electrical connector is known whose arranged in an insulating housing electrical contact portions have outwardly projecting soldering, whose molded surface mounting contact surfaces are aligned coplanar at provided for this narrow constrictions by means of a tool after completion of the assembly of the individual contact portions.
- solder termination ends When mounting a printed circuit board with surface mount connectors, the solder termination ends are usually dipped in a solder paste and then soldered to the solder pads on the circuit board under the action of heat. To ensure proper soldering, the solder tail must contact the solder paste, but requires coplanar alignment of the solder tail against the solder pads on the board.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a connector of the type mentioned, 5c that the Lötan gleichenden have good coplanarity and the connector is simple and inexpensive to produce.
- the advantages achieved by the invention are that the bending stress in the smallest cross-sectional area is compressed by the constriction in a designated region of the contact element, so that in a bending operation, the contact element is bent without special bending edge only in this constriction.
- a connector 1 consisting of an insulating body 2 with a number of contact elements 3 shown.
- the contact elements 3 have a plug contact end 4, a fixing region 5 and a Lötan gleichende 6, wherein the contact elements are fixed by means of the widened running fixing region 5 in correspondingly adapted receiving openings 7 in the bottom region of the insulating body 2.
- the Fig. 2 shows a plan view of a contact carrier strip 9 with the molded contact elements 3, which have on their entire contact length differently shaped geometric structures.
- Such contact carrier tapes which are rolled up on a reel spool, serve for a continuous feed the contact elements in the manufacture of connectors, wherein the structures of the contact elements are punched out of flat metal bands in a previous operation.
- two-sided concave recesses 10 are provided, in which the material, on both sides of the outer Envelope boundary of the contact element structure was compressed to an inwardly facing constriction.
- a separation area 11 is provided, within which the contact carrier strip 9 is separated after the fixation of the contact elements 3 in the insulating housing 2 of the contacts.
- the Fig. 3 shows a connector 1 in the insulating housing 2 of the insertion of a section with contact elements 3 of the contact strip 9 is already completed, and an already positioned Maisieri Hor, the contact carrier tape 9 has already been separated.
- the contact elements 3 are fixed with the conclusion of the insertion process in its final position by being inserted with the widened running fixing region 5 in accordance with adapted receiving openings 7 of the insulator 2, or pressed.
- the contact carrier tape 9 is separated in the separation region 11 by means of a device not further described here.
- the recesses 10 of the contact elements 3 are arranged flush with an edge 8 of the insulating body, which is formed from the end of the receiving opening 7 with the bottom of the insulating body 2.
- a free bending of the fixed in the insulating body 2 contact elements 3 is shown, in which the Lötan gleichenden 6 are bent in the region of the two-sided recesses 10 by a two-part tool 13.
- the initially perpendicular Lötan gleichenden 6 angled to an angle ⁇ around the edge 8.
- the bending stress is compressed in the smallest cross section of the constricting portion of the recesses 10 of the contact element 3, so that the Lötan gleichenden 6 are angled only in this area.
- solder terminal ends 6 which are initially held by the tool 14, are angled by lowering the second tool 16 to an angle of almost 90 °, wherein all solder terminal ends are simultaneously aligned precisely and coplanar. Whereby it makes sense to include the spring restoring force in the manufacturing process after the bend of the solder termination ends, so that the angle of the solder termination ends is not exactly 90 ° but a little less than 90 °.
