Abstract
A plug connection device for connecting a cable having at least one core to a circuit board includes a connector which can be connected to the core of the cable, and a base strip which can be connected to the circuit board The base strip includes a soldering pin which can be electrically connected to the core of the cable in a plug-in region by placing the connector onto the base strip and which can be soldered to the circuit board in a soldering region in order to produce a conductive connection. The soldering region of the soldering pin includes a plurality of contact zones such that the base strip can be connected to the circuit board in different orientations.
Claims17
A plug connection device for connecting a cable having at least one core to a circuit board, the plug connection device comprising:
- a connector which can be connected to the core of the cable;
- and
- a base strip which can be connected to the circuit board, the base strip comprising a soldering pin which can be electrically connected to the core of the cable in a plug-in region by placing the connector onto the base strip and which can be soldered to the circuit board in a soldering region in order to produce a conductive connection,
- wherein the soldering region of the soldering pin comprises a plurality of contact zones such that the base strip can be connected to the circuit board in different orientations,
- wherein the connector and the base strip can be mechanically and electrically contacted to one another in a predetermined plug-in direction in a plug connection, a latching tab and a latching lug, which can be latched to each other, being provided for mechanically fixing the plug connection device in the plugged-in state, and
- wherein the latching tab is attached at one side of the plug connection device, the latching tab having a bending axis that extends in parallel with the predetermined plug-in direction and about which the latching tab is configured to bend upon contact with the latching lug.
The plug connection device according to claim I, wherein the soldering pin has a “j” shape, wherein a bottom arch of the “J”-shaped soldering pin forms a first contact zone and a short shaft of the “J”-shaped soldering pin forms a second contact zone.
The plug connection device according to claim I, wherein the base strip can be connected to the circuit board by a soldering anchor.
The plug connection device according to claim I, wherein, the base strip includes both a vertical and a horizontal through-opening capable of functioning as a receiver for mounting the soldering anchor.
A plug connection device for connecting a cable having at least one core to a circuit board, the plug connection device comprising:
- a connector which can be connected to the core of the cable;
- a base strip which can be connected to the circuit hoard, the base strip comprising a soldering pin which can be electrically connected to the core of the cable in a plug-in region by placing the connector onto the base strip and which can be soldered to the circuit board in a soldering region in order to produce a conductive connection;
- a housing;
- a connecting spring disposed in the housing for electrically contacting the electrical conductor;
- a spring break contact, which can be actuated by a tool, for opening the spring;
- and
- a cable insertion funnel for inserting the electrical conductor in the direction of the connecting spring,
- wherein the soldering region of the soldering pin comprises a plurality of contact zones such that the base strip can he connected to the circuit board in different orientations,
- wherein the spring break contact and the cable insertion funnel are adjacent to each other, and
- wherein the spring break contact includes an actuation surface for the tool which is surrounded by a U-shaped wall.
