Plug connection with a shield support and a wall bushing
A plug connection assembly includes a wall with a wall bushing and a plug connection which penetrates the wall bushing. The plug connection includes a first plug connector on one side of the wall and a second plug connector connected with the first plug connector on a second side of the wall by plugging the first and second connectors together. The second plug connector is arranged on a printed circuit board and the first plug connector includes a shield support in the form of a shielding plate. The shield support is held in contact with the printed circuit board.
1. A plug connection assembly, comprising
(a) a wall bushing arranged in a wall;
(b) a first plug connector arranged on one side of the wall and having a portion which extends through the wall bushing;
(c) a shield support configured as a shielding plate connected with and supporting said first plug connector;
(d) a second plug connector arranged on a side of the wall opposite said first plug connector and adapted for connection with said first plug connector via a plug connection; and
(e) a printed circuit board connected with and supporting said second plug connector, said shield support contacting said printed circuit board when said first and second plug connectors are connected, said printed circuit board including a contact area on a first surface thereof; and wherein said shield support includes
(i) at least one contact arm in contact with said contact area of said printed' circuit board; and
(ii) at least one further arm guided toward a second side of said printed circuit board opposite said first side, said at least one contact arm and said at least one further arm defining a frictional connection and an electrically conductive connection with said printed circuit board when said first and second plug connectors are connected.
2. A plug connection assembly as defined in claim 1 , wherein said shield support is in direct contact with said printed circuit board when said first and second plug connectors are connected.
3. A plug connection assembly as defined in claim 2 , wherein the wall is formed of an electrically non-conductive material.
4. A plug connection assembly as defined in claim 1 , wherein said at least one further arm has a stepped configuration.
5. A plug connection assembly as defined in claim 4 , wherein said stepped arm extends from and edge of said shield support through said wall bushing.
6. A plug connection assembly as defined in claim 1 , wherein said at least one contact arm includes at least one contact spring which is spring-mounted in contact with said contact area of said printed circuit board when said first and second plug connectors are connected.
7. A plug connection assembly as defined in claim 6 , wherein said at least one contact spring compensates for tolerance in the connection between said contact arm of said shield support and said contact area of said printed circuit board.
8. A plug connection assembly, comprising
(a) a first plug connector;
(b) a shield support configured as a shielding plate connected with and supporting said first plug connector;
(c) a second plug connector adapted for connection with said first plug connector via a plug connection; and
(d) a printed circuit board connected with and supporting said second plug connector, said shield support contacting said printed circuit board when said first and second plug connectors are connected, said printed circuit hoard including a contact area on a first surface thereof; wherein said shield support includes
(i) at least one contact arm in contact with said contact area of said printed circuit board; and
(ii) at least one further arm guided toward a second side of said printed circuit board opposite said first side, said at least one contact arm and said at least one further arm defining a frictional connection and an electrically conductive connection with said printed circuit board when said first and second plug connectors are connected.
