Description

The The invention relates to an attachable electronics housing according to the preamble of Claim 1.

terminal strips are in z. B. on a mounting rail to each other rewirable electronics housings used, to the electronics housing from the outside to connect individual conductors or a plug, the or with at least one in the electronics housing in particular arranged on a printed circuit board electronics connected is to be (s).

there the electronic circuit board is usually perpendicular to the mounting direction in the electronics housing arranged.

One particular problem with this type of arrangement arises from that it is desirable is, in the direction of a possible huge Use the proportion of the width of the electronics housing for the connections to be able to but on the other hand, preferably the electronic circuit board is not right at the edge of the electronics housing be arranged and as possible even from one of their sides with a terminal block like a pin or socket strip to be contacted.

The solution This problem is the object of the invention.

The Invention solves this object by the subject matter of claim 1.

According to the invention by means of the terminal block with a first and a second connection side a sort of "reordering" of the individual connections at least one or more rows perpendicular to the direction of arrangement or parallel to the circuit board in preferably a single row in a direction parallel to the direction of arrangement or perpendicular to PCB.

This allows it, the PCB only from one side with a pen or Contact socket strip and still the width of the electronics housing completely or at least largely for the arrangement of the connections to use for connecting external conductors or a plug to the electronics housing.

advantageous Embodiments of the invention are the dependent claims remove.

following the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawing, including further advantages and optional embodiments of the invention be shown. Show it:

1a -C three perspective views of sections of three different electronic housings with a terminal block and with a pin header in the unmated state;

2a -C three more views of the sections of electronic housings 1 in the assembled state between the terminal block and the pin header;

3a -C the arrangements of 2 in the unmated state between the terminal block and the pin header; and

4 an explosive view of the terminal block of the electronics housing 1a - 3a ,

The 1 to three show sections of bayonet-type electronics housings each designed to provide one (or more) printed circuit board (s) oriented perpendicular to the alignment direction. 1 to receive, which is provided with a (not shown) electronics / are.

For contacting the circuit boards 1 in each case a pin strip (or a socket strip) 2 used on the circuit board 1 arranged, in particular soldered on this.

The pin headers 2 in turn, each with terminal blocks 3 contacted, which has a first connection side 4 and a second connection side 5 exhibit.

The first connection side 4 serves to the pin or socket strip 2 to contact, on the circuit board 1 arranged, in particular soldered.

Accordingly, the first connection side 4 a mating face, which corresponds to the mating face of the pin or socket strip 2 is trained.

By contrast, according to the invention, the second connection side 5 designed in a different way than the first connection side 4 ie, the individual connections 4a . 4b . 4c , ... the first connection side 4 are arranged to another mating face and arranged differently geometrically relative to each other than the individual terminals 5a . 5b . 5c , ... the second connection side 5 ,

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the individual connections 4a . 4b . 4c , ... the first connection side 4 arrayed in at least one or more rows parallel to the mounting direction X and more than one column perpendicular to the mounting direction of the electronics housing X, in particular in two rows with multiple columns, whereas the individual terminals 5a . 5b . 5c , ... The second terminal side 5 arranged in a row next to each other. Preferably, the individual terminals 5a . 5b . 5c , ... the second connection side 5 in the mounting direction X of the electronics housing or perpendicular to the electronic circuit board 1 arranged in a row next to each other. The second connection side may have individual connections in a variety of connection technology such as pin or socket, screw, spring connections or the like.

This design allows the at least one electronic circuit board 1 to arrange something eccentrically in the electronics housing (or on the width in Anreihrich direction), of the in 1 to 3 the side walls 7 . 8th are shown in the mounting direction and then on one side of the electronic circuit board, the pin header 2 (or a female connector) and thereby the entire width of the electronics housing for the individual connections 5a . 5b , ... to use.

In the embodiment of the 1a to 3a , this in 4 also shown in an explosive view are four socket connections 4a . 4b . 4c . 4d as the individual connections 4a . 4b , ... the first connection side 4 provided, which are arranged in a 2 × 2 array with two rows and which are adapted to a corresponding arrangement of solder pins 6 at the pin header 2 on the circuit board 1 to contact.

By four correspondingly shaped, non-conductive interconnected busbars 9 is it possible to use the matrix of 2 × 2 connectors 4 with four in the row direction X in a row juxtaposed blade contacts as the terminals 5a . 5b . 5c . 5d the second connection side 5 to connect in a two-piece case 10 the terminal block 3 lie next to one another in the direction of arrangement and which can preferably be contacted with a connector (not shown here).

To 1b . 3b and 3b becomes an analogue rearrangement of three individual connections 4a . 4b . 4c realized, which are arranged in two rows and two columns next to each other, wherein one of the vertices of the 2 × 2 matrix is not occupied by a single terminal and wherein a total of only three individual terminals are provided. The busbars 9 also connect these individual connections 4a . 4b . 4c to the second connection side 5 with three in the row direction in a row of adjacent individual connections 5a . 5b . 5c ,

To 1c to 3c a 2-pin version is realized in which the circuit board 1 with the pin header 2 with two solder pins 6 is contacted, which are perpendicular to the mounting direction X (or to the image plane) next to each other, wherein in the terminal block 3 a rearrangement of the lying parallel to the PCB two solder pins 6 or the individual connections contacting them 4a . 4b the first connection side 4 to two individual connections 5a . 5b the second connection side 5 takes place, which lie next to each other in the direction of arrangement.

In summary, the innovation makes it possible in a simple way to increase the flexibility in positioning the printed circuit board 1 in the electronics housing. In addition, the arrangement of the pin header on the electronic circuit board space for coding, labels, LEDs or the like. Created. Also possibly necessary Stiftbiegungen are particularly easy to implement.
