Plug-in connector for connecting electronic components
View Patent ↗A plug-in connector for connecting electronic components, comprising a multi-point pin connector element and a multipoint socket connector element. The multipoint pin connector element and the multipoint socket connector element being each provided with an electric screening in the form of at least one screening sheet that can be fixed on the multipoint pin connector element or the multipoint socket connector element, respectively, via snap-in connections. The screening sheets comprising projecting soldered connections in the snapped-in condition and the respective screening sheets being in predominantly flat contact one with the other by their body surfaces facing each other, characterized in that the screening sheets of the multipoint pin connector element comprise at least two rows of snap-in connections that are arranged at a spacing one above the other.
1. A plug-in connector for connecting electronic components, comprising a multipoint pin connector element and a multipoint socket connector element, which can be engaged one into the other and which form a plurality of electric signal conductors and at least one earth conductor, the multipoint pin connector element and the multipoint socket connector element being each provided with an electric screening in the form of at least one screening sheet that can be fixed on the multipoint pin connector element or the multipoint socket connector element, respectively, via snap-in connections, the screening sheets comprising soldered connections that project from the multipoint pin connector element and the multipoint socket connector element in the snapped-in condition and the respective screening sheets being in predominantly flat contact one with the other by their body surfaces facing each other, wherein the screening sheets of the multipoint pin connector element comprise at least two rows of snap-in connections that are arranged at a spacing one above the other, wherein the snap-in connections comprise first and second rows of hook-like projections formed on the screening sheets and first and second rows of openings formed in the multipoint pin connector element that are adapted to said projections, the hook-like projections in said first row of hook-like projections engaging in the openings in said first row of openings and the hook-like projections in said second row of hook-like projections engaging in the openings in said second row of openings, and wherein the hook-like projections of the screening sheet associated to the multipoint pin connector element project on both sides of the screening sheet in opposite direction so that they face away from each other.
2. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , wherein the screening sheets are arranged in receiving pockets which are adapted to them and which are formed in the multipoint pin connector element and that the screening sheets project from said receiving pockets so that they come to be positioned on the in sides of the receiving space.
3. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , wherein the hook-like projections are formed as an integral part of the screening sheet.
4. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , wherein SMD or THR contact elements are formed on the respective screening sheets for contacting the respective screening sheet with a printed-circuit board or the like.
5. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , wherein the screening sheets are formed as one single piece.
6. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , wherein the hook-like projections are formed as an integral part of the screening sheet.
7. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-point pin connector element comprises a receiving space for the multipoint socket connector element.
8. The plug-in connector according to claim 7 , wherein a first row of snap-in connections is arranged at the level of an entry opening of that receiving space and at least one further row of the snap-in connections is arranged at the level of the bottom surface that delimits the receiving space.
9. The plug-in connector according to claim 8 , wherein the screening sheets are arranged in receiving pockets which are adapted to them and which are formed in the multipoint pin connector element and that the screening sheets project from said receiving pockets so that they come to be positioned on the in sides of the receiving space.
10. The plug-in connector according to claim 7 , wherein the screening sheets are arranged in receiving pockets which are adapted to them and which are formed in the multipoint pin connector element and that the screening sheets project from said receiving pockets so that they come to be positioned on the in sides of the receiving space.
11. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , wherein the hook-like projections extend in the same direction in parallel one to the other.
12. The plug-in connector according to claim 11 , wherein the hook-like projections are formed as an integral part of the screening sheet.
