[0001] Shielded connector, connector arrangement and assembly method of the connector arrangement

[0002] Description:

[0003] The invention relates to a shielded connector with a contact carrier and at least one contact received in the contact carrier and surrounded by a contact carrier material, as well as a connector arrangement with the shielded connector and an assembly method for the connector arrangement.

[0004] It is known from the prior art that the outer conductor (shield braid) of a shielded cable is contacted with the shielding cage of the connector by means of a crimp connection. For this purpose, the outer conductor is typically positioned between an inner support sleeve of the shielding cage and an outer crimp sleeve. The sleeves are then crimped with a defined geometry. Since the shield braid loses its defined shape when expanded (over the shielding cage of the connector), the distribution of the shield braid between the sleeves is more or less random. This results in varying degrees of crimp within the connection. This can negatively affect the shielding properties, impedance, current-carrying capacity, and long-term stability of the connection.

[0005] The invention is therefore based on the objective of providing a shielded connector in which the shielding properties, impedance, current carrying capacity and long-term stability of the connection are optimized.

[0006] This problem is solved by the combination of features according to claim 1.

[0007] According to the invention, a shielded connector, in particular a high-frequency (HF), high-voltage (HV), or high-current (HC) connector, is proposed, comprising a contact carrier and at least one contact, in particular an HF, HV, or HC contact, which is received in the contact carrier and surrounded by a contact carrier material. Preferably, the connector has two contacts. The contact carrier is surrounded by a shield sleeve and / or shield housing made of a shielding material. Furthermore, the shield sleeve and / or shield housing is formed from two shield sleeve elements.

[0008] The contact carrier comprises, in particular, an insulating material, preferably predominantly made of a plastic. Contact carriers are typically manufactured from plastics such as polyamide (PA), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), or polycarbonate (PC). These plastics offer a good combination of mechanical strength, insulating properties, and resistance to environmental influences such as moisture and temperature fluctuations. For applications requiring higher temperatures or special chemical resistance, materials such as ceramics or special high-performance plastics can also be used. Furthermore, the shielding sleeve and / or the shield housing is made of a metallic material, preferably predominantly. Typically, connector shielding sleeves are often made of metals such as brass, aluminum or an aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or copper.a copper alloy, especially for the majority of the components. These metals offer good electrical conductivity as well as protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). In some cases, special coatings such as nickel or zinc can also be used to improve durability and corrosion resistance.

[0009] In an advantageous embodiment, the first shielding sleeve element has a first end section for fixing it to a cable, and the second shielding sleeve element has a second end section for fixing it to a cable. This optimizes the fixing and arrangement of the shielding sleeve elements on the cable or on at least one individual conductor of the cable.

[0010] Furthermore, an embodiment is advantageous in which the first end section is formed with a flexible connection to the first shielding sleeve element and the second end section with a flexible connection to the second shielding sleeve element. In particular, in an unassembled state, the first end section is angled relative to the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the first shielding sleeve element, and the second end section is angled relative to the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the second shielding sleeve element. This improves or simplifies the assembly of the connector assembly, especially the joining or positioning of the respective shielding sleeve element on the at least one individual conductor of the cable. A predetermined angle is, for example, 5° to 80°, preferably 10° to 70°, between the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the first or second shielding sleeve element and the first or second shielding sleeve element.second end section. The flexible connection is preferably formed by means of a cross-sectional reduction, for example by recesses and / or notches extending from an edge region to the center of the first and / or second umbrella sleeve element. A V-shaped recess and / or notch is particularly advantageous, as this ensures that, in the assembled state of the first and / or second umbrella sleeve element, the edges of the V-shaped recess and / or notch abut each other, thus providing a gap-free umbrella sleeve. Alternatively, the flexible connection can be formed by punching, so that only one or more thin connecting webs are formed.

[0011] The connector according to the invention is configured in one embodiment such that the first end section has a first crimping element for forming a crimp connection on the cable, and the second end section has a second crimping element for forming a crimp connection on the cable. Preferably, the first and second crimping elements are oriented in opposite directions and / or opposite directions to each other. The crimping elements enable secure attachment of the shield sleeve to the cable by crimping. This creates a firm connection that prevents accidental loosening of the shield sleeve, particularly in environments with vibration or movement. Furthermore, the crimping elements allow for quick and easy assembly of the shield sleeve to the cable, thereby reducing installation time and effort. The crimping elements are preferably designed as a crimp tab.Preferably, the connector is designed such that at least one alignment means is provided on the contact carrier and at least one counter-alignment means is provided on the shield sleeve and / or shield housing. In particular, the alignment means is a projection and the counter-alignment means a recess. Alternatively, the corresponding alignment means can also be a depression and / or recess and the counter-alignment means a tab. The alignment means and corresponding counter-alignment means help to position the shield sleeve and / or shield housing precisely in the desired position on the contact carrier and / or the cable. This is advantageous to ensure that the shielding is properly aligned and can effectively fulfill its function of shielding against electromagnetic interference.Alignment tools facilitate the installation of the umbrella sleeve by ensuring it is correctly positioned and does not shift during fastening. This reduces assembly time and simplifies the installation process.

[0012] In one embodiment of the invention, the first and second shielding sleeve elements are designed symmetrically, in particular as half-shell elements and / or in a half-shell shape. Due to the symmetrically designed shielding sleeve elements, the two elements of the shielding sleeve fit together optimally, thus enabling precise alignment and optimizing shielding against electromagnetic interference.

[0013] Furthermore, an embodiment is advantageous in which the contact carrier is split, in particular consisting of two contact carrier parts. A split contact carrier facilitates simpler assembly of the connector, as it simplifies the insertion of the contacts. This makes the assembly process faster and more efficient. In another advantageous embodiment, the invention provides that the shielding sleeve elements are materially bonded to one another, in particular welded together, preferably by laser welding. The material-bonded connection between the shielding sleeve elements initially increases the mechanical stability of the entire shielding sleeve. In addition, the material-bonded connection also improves the electrical continuity between the shielding sleeve elements. This ensures uniform shielding along the entire contact carrier, resulting in more effective shielding against electromagnetic interference.

[0014] According to the invention, a connector arrangement comprising a shielded connector as described above and a cable is further proposed. The at least one contact is arranged accordingly on the at least one single conductor. Furthermore, the shielding sleeve elements are fixed to the cable and bonded together by a material connection, in particular by welding, preferably by laser welding. An advantage of this is that the material connection between the shielding sleeve elements increases the mechanical stability of the entire shielding sleeve. Furthermore, the material connection also optimizes the electrical continuity between the shielding sleeve elements and thereby ensures uniform shielding along the entire contact carrier or the entire connector arrangement.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the cable has a cable shield. Furthermore, the shielding sleeve elements and the cable shield are bonded together, in particular by welding, preferably by laser welding. The bonded connection between the shielding sleeve elements and the cable shield enables a seamless electrical connection, providing effective shielding against electromagnetic interference. This reduces the risk of disturbances and interference in the electrical line and improves signal quality. The bonded connection between the shielding sleeve elements and the cable shield also makes the entire structure more stable. This provides better protection against external influences such as vibrations, shocks, and mechanical stress, thus extending the service life of the cable and the entire connector assembly.

[0016] The cable shield can be, for example, a braided shield, a foil and / or tape shield, or a combination thereof. A braided shield consists of fine wires tightly interwoven. This type of shield offers good cable flexibility and is effective at shielding against high-frequency interference. A foil or tape shield consists of a thin metal foil or metal-coated tape wrapped around the cable. This type of shield provides good protection against electromagnetic interference and is well-suited for applications where space is limited. A combined shield uses a combination of braided and foil / tape shields to provide improved shielding over a wider frequency range. This type of shield is particularly effective at shielding against electromagnetic interference of varying frequencies.Depending on the application, suitable materials for cable shields are copper, aluminum, steel and their alloys, especially in the majority of cases.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the first end section of the first shield sleeve element and the second end section of the second shield sleeve element are arranged at least partially within and / or below the cable shield. The cable shield is directly contacted to the first and second end sections by a material bond. This simplifies assembly and further improves the shielding of the connector assembly. In an alternative embodiment of the present connector assembly, the shield sleeve elements are crimped to the cable, and the cable shield is sandwiched between the first crimp element of the first end section and the second crimp element of the second end section. This has the advantage that the first crimp element, which is directly in contact with the cable, acts as a support sleeve, thus eliminating the need for a separate support sleeve.The second crimping element then encloses the cable shield.

[0018] The invention also proposes an assembly method for a connector arrangement as described above, in which the contact carrier is joined around the at least one contact and / or the at least one contact is joined into the contact carrier. The at least one contact is arranged on an associated single conductor of the cable. Furthermore, the first shielding sleeve element is arranged around and / or on the contact carrier. The first end section of the first shielding sleeve element is arranged, in particular directly, on the at least one single conductor of the cable. Finally, the second shielding sleeve element is arranged around and / or on the contact carrier. The second end section of the second shielding sleeve element is arranged, in particular directly, on the at least one single conductor of the cable.Furthermore, the cable shield is arranged at least partially on at least one of the end sections of the shielding sleeve elements. In addition, the shielding sleeve elements and the cable shield are joined and / or connected by a material bond, in particular by welding, preferably laser welding.

[0019] It is advantageous that the assembly of the connector assembly is optimized, and the bonded connection between the shielding sleeve elements and the cable shielding enables a seamless electrical connection, providing or improving effective shielding against electromagnetic interference. This reduces the risk of disturbances and interference in the electrical line and improves signal quality. The bonded connection between the shielding sleeve elements and the cable shielding also makes the entire structure more stable. This offers better protection against external influences such as vibrations, shocks, and mechanical stress, thus extending the service life of the cable and the connector assembly.

[0020] In one embodiment of the assembly method, both shield sleeve elements are arranged around and / or on the contact carrier before the cable shield is attached. Furthermore, when attaching the cable shield, it is positioned on the end sections of both shield sleeve elements.

[0021] In an advantageous embodiment of the assembly method, the cable shield is erected and / or turned inside out and / or expanded before the first and second shield sleeve elements are arranged. Furthermore, when arranging the first and second shield sleeve elements, the first end section is positioned on the at least one conductor of the cable, and the second end section is positioned on the at least one conductor of the cable, in particular extending behind an expanded portion of the cable shield and / or at least partially beneath a non-expanded portion of the cable shield. Subsequently, the cable shield is positioned, at least partially, on at least one of the end sections of the shield sleeve elements.The cable shield is then narrowed and / or tapered and / or pulled together, and the first shield sleeve element is arranged around and / or on the contact carrier, as is the second shield sleeve element, preferably folded and / or bent and / or tilted, wherein in particular the flexible connection of the first and / or second end section is plastically and / or elastically deformed.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the assembly method, when arranging the first and second shielding sleeve elements, the first end section is inserted parallel to the at least one conductor of the cable between the conductor and the cable shield, and the second end section is inserted parallel to the conductor between the conductor and the cable shield. Furthermore, when arranging the first and / or second shielding sleeve elements around and / or on the contact carrier, the first and second shielding sleeve elements are arranged, and in particular joined, such that the first shielding sleeve element is folded and / or bent relative to the first end section via the flexible connection, and the second shielding sleeve element is folded and / or bent relative to the second end section via the flexible connection.

[0023] In an alternative embodiment of the assembly method, after the first shield sleeve element is positioned around and / or attached to the contact carrier, the first crimp element of the first end section of the first shield sleeve element is crimped to the at least one individual conductor. After crimping the first crimp element, the cable shield is positioned, at least partially, on the first end section. After positioning the cable shield on the first end section, the second shield sleeve element is positioned around and / or attached to the cable shield. The second end section of the second shield sleeve element is positioned, in particular directly, on the cable shield. After positioning the second shield sleeve element, the second crimp element of the second end section is crimped to the cable shield.Furthermore, after crimping, the shield sleeve elements and the cable shield are joined and / or connected by a material-bonded process, in particular by welding, preferably laser welding, such that the cable shield is fixed sandwich-like between the first crimp element and the second crimp element.

[0024] It is advantageous that the assembly of the connector arrangement is optimized. Furthermore, the first crimp element, which is directly in contact with the cable, acts as a support sleeve, thus eliminating the need for one. The second crimp element then encloses the cable shield.

[0025] The features disclosed above can be combined in any way, provided that this is technically possible and that they do not contradict each other.

[0033] The connector arrangement 100 consists of a shielded connector 1 and a cable 2 having a cable shield 21.

[0034] The shielded connector 1 shown in Figure 1a is an RF, HV, or HC connector with a contact carrier 11 and RF, HV, or HC contacts enclosed in the contact carrier 11 and surrounded by a contact carrier material. Furthermore, the shield sleeve and / or shield housing 13 is formed from two shield sleeve elements 132, 133.

The shield sleeve elements 132, 133 are arranged around and / or on the contact carrier 11, and the cable shield 21 of the cable 2 is arranged on the end sections 134 of the shield sleeve elements 132, 133. Furthermore, the contact carrier 11 is surrounded by the shield sleeve and / or shield housing 13 formed from the shielding material 131.

[0038] The shielding sleeve elements 132, 133 and the cable shield 21 are materially bonded to one another by laser welding.

[0039] Figure 2a shows a side view of a first umbrella sleeve element 132, in which the first end section 132a is angled relative to the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the first umbrella sleeve element 132. A predetermined angle is, for example, 20° between the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the first umbrella sleeve element 132 and the first end section 132a. However, an angle in the range of 5° to 80° is generally conceivable. Furthermore, the first end section is formed with a flexible connection 132c to the first umbrella sleeve element 132. The flexible connection 132c is preferably formed by means of a cross-sectional reduction, for example by recesses and / or notches extending from an edge region to the center of the first and / or second umbrella sleeve element. A V-shaped recess and / or notch as shown in Figure 2a is particularly advantageous.

[0040] Figures 2b to 2d show a perspective view of a connector assembly 100 during the arrangement of the shield sleeve elements 132, 133 of the shield sleeve and / or shield housing 13. For this purpose, the cable shield 21 was erected and / or turned inside out and / or expanded before the shield sleeve elements 132, 133 were joined (Figure 2b).

[0041] Furthermore, the first end section 132a is angled relative to the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the first umbrella sleeve element 132, and the second end section 133a is angled relative to the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the second umbrella sleeve element 133. A predetermined angle is, for example, 20° or -20° between the longitudinal extent and / or direction of the first or second umbrella sleeve element 132, 133 and the first or second end section 132a, 133a. In addition, the first end section 132a and the second end section 133a are connected to the corresponding first or second umbrella sleeve element 132, 133 by a flexible connection 132c, 133c.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2c, when arranging the first shield sleeve element 132, the first end section 132a is inserted parallel to the at least one single conductor 22 of the cable 2 between one of the two single conductors 22 and the cable shield 2.

[0043] Figure 2d shows that when arranging the first shield sleeve element 132 around and / or on the contact carrier 11, the first shield sleeve element 132 is arranged such that the first shield sleeve element 132 is bent and / or folded relative to the first end section 132a via the flexible connection 132c.

[0044] In the assembled state shown in Figure 2d, the edges of the flexible connection 132c, designed as a V-shaped recess and / or notch, lie against each other, thus providing a gapless shield sleeve element 132.

Subsequently, the second shield sleeve element 133 is positioned around and / or on the cable shield 21 of the cable 2, with the second end section 133a of the second shield sleeve element 133 being positioned directly against the cable shield 21 (Figure 3d). Furthermore, the second crimp element 133b of the second end section 133a, oriented oppositely to the first crimp element 132b, is crimped to the cable shield 21 (Figure 3e). The cable shield 21 is arranged in a sandwich-like manner between the first crimping element 132b and the second crimping element 133b.

[0046] Subsequently, the shield sleeve elements 132, 133 and the cable shield 21 are joined and / or fixed to one another by means of laser welding (Figure 3f).
