Description

The The invention relates to an electronic device with multi-contact plug and a method for producing the same. The electronic device has a horizontally arranged circuit board. The circuit board is over angled contact elements with the multi-pin electrical in connection. A case containing the printed circuit board and the multi-contact plug surrounds, has a connector wall on which the multi-contact plug arranged with a connector collar surrounding the multi-component connector is.

A widely used control unit concept, as it is known from the publication DE 39 06 973 C2 for the automotive electronics, has a housing box in which the circuit board is arranged horizontally. In this concept, an integrated molded connector interface is arranged on a connector wall of the housing box to the plastic housing box. In this housing box, a populated printed circuit board is mounted and contacted via a cover opening. The attachment and contacting is carried out by means of a soldering or pressfit process. The closing and sealing of the housing box via a housing cover, which is connected by potting or Reibschweißprozess with the housing box after PCB assembly media-tight.

An example of such an electronic device 3 in the prior art is in 13 shown in a schematic perspective and exploded view. A major component of this device is the complex plastic housing box 31 with the overmolded and integrated connector interface 33 , This is done with a contact elements 6 pre-equipped contact carrier 26 in a subsequent injection molding process to the in 13 molded homogeneous one-piece housing box molded. The prefabrication of such a contact carrier 26 is required to the partially rectangular bent contact elements during the overmolding to fix the connector interface 33 on the connector wall 8th the housing box 31 sure.

A fixation of rectangularly bent individual contact elements without such a prefabricated contact carrier 26 can technically be carried out with great difficulty. The encapsulation of the contact carrier in the housing box 31 However, this represents a very complex and therefore cost-intensive process. For positionally accurate positioning and for holding the contact carrier 26 During the injection molding process, special tooling technologies are required. Only selected specialist companies can perform such a conversion and encapsulation.

Mass production can not be carried out inexpensively with such a control unit concept. On the one hand, a direct placement of the box housing with contacts is disadvantageously not possible because the box-shaped contour of the housing outer walls do not allow access to the inside connector area. The pressures and temperatures prevailing during the injection molding process can lead to displacements, warping and bending of the contact carrier 26 come, whereby the required position tolerances of the contacts can not be reliably maintained. In addition, the production of a housing box caused 31 with integrated molded or molded connector interface 33 Specialized companies charge high costs for tools, investments and individual parts and increase the dependence of manufacturers and users of such electronic devices on these specialist companies.

task The invention is an electronic device with multi-contact plug and to provide a method of making the same with which the Dependence on specialized companies, contacting and assembling the electronic device simplified and cheapened.

These The object is achieved with the subject matter of the independent claims solved. Advantageous developments of the invention result from the dependent claims.

According to the invention an electronic device with multi-contact plug and a A process for producing the same created. The electronic Device has a horizontally arranged circuit board. The printed circuit board is over angled contact elements electrically connected to the multi-contact plug. A housing, which surrounds the circuit board and the multi-contact plug, has a connector wall on, at which the multi-contact plug with a multi-contact plug surrounding plug collar is arranged.

Of the Plug collar is an integral part without a multi-contact plug of the housing and a contact carrier with angled Contact elements forms the multi-contact plug, with an outer contour the contact carrier of the inner contour of the connector collar at least partially adapted. Such an electronic device has the advantage that the complex encapsulation process for attaching the contact carrier as an integrated overmolded Connector interface in terms of material, manufacturing and handling completely eliminated.

This reduces both the weight of the case and the tool costs. The housing may be considered and manufactured as a standard injection molding component. Complex work tools and special technologies are completely eliminated. The usual added value of special suppliers is reduced and the scope of supply for suppliers with low costs can be switched to mass production. By eliminating the principle of an integrated overmolded connector interface and the replacement by a division of the plug-in system results in simple standard components that can be produced very cheap from standard suppliers and supplied by them. Both the manufacture and assembly of such electronic devices can be accomplished with simple standardized and robust processes.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the Housing a housing box with lid opening and a housing bottom and housing side walls and one of the connector wall opposite housing rear wall on. The lid opening can, as before, with the help of a Housing cover to be closed media-tight. This corresponds the size of the lid opening of a board size, the circuit board over the lid opening mountable and with Innenkontaktenden the angled contact elements is electrically connectable.

in the The principle is with this electronic control unit concept maintain the well-known housing box to which a plug collar already integrated with an injection molding step is completed. Only before attaching the circuit board with his Outer contour at least partially to the inner contour of Steckerkragens the housing box adapted contact carrier with the contact elements from above through the lid opening let into the housing box and then moved in the plug collar from the inside out, so that the inner contact element ends with the circuit board, for example connected by a Pressfit process when attaching the circuit board can be.

at This assembly of the electronic device is due the bipartition between multiple contact plug and surrounding plug collar still no tightness against media given, however, can By default, the seal of the connector interior be ensured by mounting a mating connector. This Mating connector has sealing elements that match the inner contour of Steckerkragens a media-tight bond between mating connector and electronic device with the contact plug ensures. Thus, the parting lines in the connector interior of the multi-contact plug to plug collar automatically through the assembled mating connector sealed.

at a further embodiment of the invention form the Connector wall and the housing bottom with parts of the Sidewalls a one-piece housing base and the rear wall and the housing cover with partial areas the side walls a one-piece housing upper part out. With this preferred solution, the concept of Leave the box, because now the back wall in the one-piece housing upper part is integrated. In order to It is possible on a pre-made use of printed circuit board and contact carrier the plug collar of the housing base insert and fix. Also, the contact carrier form a replaceable insert in the plug collar on which subsequently after assembly of the contact carrier the circuit board is fixed.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention has the connector wall with plug collar in the plug collar a Plug contact holding set with slot-like guide openings on, with the guide holes in contour and dimensions adapted to the contact elements. Such an embodiment has the advantage that on the separate production of a contact carrier can be dispensed with overmolded contact elements and rather a lower housing part in a single injection molding process is made, already inside the Steckerkragens guide openings for retrofittable angled or having bendable contact elements.

In an alternative, the contact carrier on the circuit board be preassembled and PCB and contact carrier can a replaceable compact insert for the lower housing part Offer. Since the back wall now to the upper housing part This insert can be heard from the back wall side be inserted into the plug collar of the housing base, before the upper housing part over the connecting joint with the lower housing part cohesively, form-fitting or non-positively connected.

The Electronic device is preferably a device the vehicle technology and can be a device of the group electronic Parking brake (EPB), electronic guidance device, engine control device, Transmission control device, anti-lock braking device (ABS) or electronic stability control device (ESP).

With the ECU concept and the different possible ones Embodiments of the housing are also different Method associated to such an electronic device manufacture. These methods differ in individual process steps or in the sequence of procedural steps, resulting in sibling Process claims leads.

With A first method is supposed to be an electronic device in a housing box are mounted, the method below Has method steps. First, a housing box from a connector wall, side walls and a rear wall, which is arranged opposite the connector wall prepared. In this case, a plug collar is molded out of the connector wall outstanding. Furthermore, a housing cover is made, the housing box Covering the media will cover. Finally, a circuit board equipped with appropriate components and a contact carrier manufactured with angled contact elements. This bend is required because the circuit board is horizontal in the housing box is arranged and Außenkontaktelementenden horizontal are to be arranged in the connector collar.

In a next step is the contact carrier inserted in the plug collar such that the bendable or angled contact elements with their inner contact ends in Direction to be aligned on the housing cover. After that you can an application of the circuit board on support members of the housing base and on the inner contact ends of the contact elements, wherein the inner contact ends, for example, under pressing the ends in contact openings of the printed circuit board with a pressfit process or by soldering the inner contact ends to the circuit board get connected. Finally, the housing cover on the housing box while closing the lid opening of the housing applied. Despite the closing the housing box does not remain in the plug collar Sealed fit of the contact carrier with the inner contour of the plug collar. However, this non-media-tight fit will automatically sealed when installing a mating connector.

at a second variant of the method are used to produce an electronic Device with multi-contact plug in a housing, with a housing base plus connector wall and a housing top plus rear wall, following process steps carried out. First, a housing base from a connector wall and portions of sidewalls, the integrally connected to a housing bottom are produced. This is done with the same injection molding process a plug collar, which protrudes from the connector wall, to the housing lower part formed. Furthermore, an upper housing part is produced, the a back wall and partial areas of side walls having, in one piece with a housing cover get connected.

Furthermore a circuit board is equipped with components. A contact carrier is made by fixing angled contact elements in such a way that that angled inner contact ends to one side and Außenkontaktenden sticking out to the opposite side. This is the outer contour of the contact carrier to the inner contour of the connector collar at least partially adapted. The next step will be the circuit board with the contact carrier to a kit connected. This kit is then with the Contact carrier in the plug collar of the connector wall under Fixing the PCB of the kit to support elements the housing base introduced. Finally, can the upper housing part is applied to the lower housing part and sealed along the joint.

In Another variant of the method is based on the prefabrication of Contact carrier completely omitted. Change accordingly the manufacturing steps of the manufacturing process of an electronic device with multiple contact plug in a different order and manner. To At first, a lower housing part is removed a connector wall and portions of side walls, the be integrally connected to a housing bottom, produced. A connector collar that protrudes from the connector wall, is molded at the same time. At the same time a plug contact holding insert with slot-like guide openings in the plug collar formed.

Consequently In an injection molding process, all plastic parts and areas become both for the housing base and for the plug collar and for guiding and holding contact elements finished in slot-like guide openings of the connector wall posed. Also in this case, a circuit board is first stocked. In addition, be bendable or angled Contact elements matching those in the plug contact holding insert provided slot-like guide openings produced. Thereafter, an introduction of the bendable or angled contact elements in the guide openings the plug contact holding insert, which is an integral part the connector wall is such that external contact ends of the contact elements protrude from the plug contact holding insert and inner contact end the contact elements in the angled state to the housing cover be aligned.

To Completion of this housing base with inserted Contact elements, the circuit board on support elements the housing lower part and with the inner contact ends of the Contact elements connected, for example under pressing the ends in contact openings of the circuit board in the form of a pressfit process or by soldering the inner contact ends to the circuit board. Finally, the housing of the electronic rule Device by applying the upper housing part on the lower housing part are closed.

These third method variant has compared to the previous one Process variants have the advantage that on the production of a complex contact carrier can be dispensed with. Therefore is then a higher cost in the introduction of the angled or bendable contact elements required.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention Is it possible to use the angled contact elements on the Pre-assemble PCB with their inner contact ends and with the circuit board to create a kit that is on the circuit board support elements while simultaneously pushing through the outer contact ends through the slit-like guide holes of the Plug contact holding insert is applied. For this Method is a connector wall of the housing base with slot-like Created chambers that provide a guiding and holding function for the individual contacts to be populated.

Around a direct loading of contacts in the prepared Chambers and guide slots in the connector area of the housing to allow access to the appropriate Assembly tools are created in the housing. This is realized by the fact that the rear wall, the connector wall is opposite, removed and with the housing cover forms an upper housing part, so that now with appropriate Division of the side walls starting from the connector area continuously Rear sloping sidewalls are created.

Consequently results in an inclined joint between the upper housing part and the lower housing part. Through the resulting free space can now the individual contact elements either in the already angled state be fitted directly in the lower housing part or the placement of the contacts is in the straight state with subsequent bending of the contact rows in the direction of the upper housing part. By redesigning the housing walls This results in an inclined, but even joining surface between upper housing part and lower housing part. The connection of upper housing part and lower housing part can continue by means of z. B. realized linear friction welding become. Likewise, the PCB assembly and Implement contacting as usual with proven processes.
