Plug-in connection
View Patent ↗A plug-in connection having at least three multipole contact banks, preferably a plug-in connection comprising a multipoint pin connector and a multipoint slot connector, the multipoint pin connectors having at least one first contact element and the multipoint slot connectors having at least one second contact element, corresponding to the first contact element, is characterized in that solder terminals of the contact elements of at least one contact bank are arranged so that the spacing between the solder terminals of the contact elements of that at least one contact bank and the solder terminals of the contact elements of the remaining contact banks is larger than the spacing between the solder terminals of the contact elements within the remaining contact banks.
1. Plug-in connection having at least three multipole contact banks, comprising a multipoint pin connector and a multipoint slot connector, the multipoint pin connectors ( 100 ) having at least one first contact element ( 120 ) and the multipoint slot connectors ( 200 ) having at least one second contact element ( 220 ), corresponding to the first contact element, wherein solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) of at least one contact bank are arranged so that the spacing between the solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 , 120 ′, 220 ′) of that at least one contact bank and the solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′ 220 ′) of the remaining contact banks is larger than the spacing between the solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) within the remaining contact banks, wherein the solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) are bent off at the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) substantially in L shape, and wherein the angled solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) of a first pair of contact banks are arranged to face away from the angled solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) of a neighboring pair of contact banks.
2. The plug-in connection as defined in claim 1 , comprising an even number of four or more contact banks, said contact banks being combined in pairs so that the spacing between the solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) of the pairs of contact banks is larger than the spacing between the solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 120 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 ; 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) within each pair of contact banks.
3. The plug-in connection as defined in claim 1 , wherein the solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) are formed integrally on the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′).
4. The plug-in connection as defined in claim 1 , wherein the angled solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of one contact element ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) of one terminal bank of the first pair of contact banks are substantially arranged at an angle of 180° relative to the angled solder terminals ( 128 , 228 ; 128 ′, 228 ′) of the contact elements ( 120 , 220 ; 120 ′, 220 ′) of a contact bank neighboring pair of contact banks.
5. The plug-in connection as defined in claim 1 , further comprising shells ( 110 , 210 ) receiving the pin connectors and the slot connectors, respectively, each of said shells provided at their end faces ( 180 , 280 ) with ridges ( 282 ) and grooves ( 182 ), respectively, in non-symmetrical arrangement so that the grooves or ridges ( 182 ) provided on the multipoint pin connector have a configuration complementary to the grooves or ridges ( 282 ) arranged on the multipoint slot connector.
