Abstract

The invention relates to a circuit board arrangement for electrical separation of leads, comprising a fuse board configured to hold an electrical fuse, wherein the fuse board has electrical leads and openings formed between adjacent electrical leads; and comprising an insulating member configured to receive the fuse board, wherein the insulating member has separators, wherein the separators are configured to insert into the openings and electrically separate the leads.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A circuit board arrangement comprising:
a fuse board configured to hold an electrical fuse, wherein the fuse board comprises electrical leads and openings formed between adjacent electrical leads; and
an insulating member configured to receive the fuse board wherein the insulating member comprises separators and wherein the separators are configured to insert into the openings and electrically separate the electrical leads.

2. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse board is configured to insert and lock into the insulating member, and wherein the insulating member at least partially laterally surrounds the fuse board.

3. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the separators pass through the openings in the fuse board and protrude from a side of the fuse board facing away from the insulating member to electrically insulate electrical leads from one another on the side of the fuse board facing away from the insulating member.

4. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the separators have a straight shape.

5. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse board comprises a plurality of plug contacts wherein the insulating member circumferentially encloses the plug contacts.

6. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a fuse receptacle arranged on the fuse board and configured to hold the fuse.

7. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the separators respectively electrically insulate a plurality of plug contacts and the fuse receptacle from one another.

8. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the plug contacts and the fuse receptacle are arranged on a side of the fuse board facing toward the insulating member and are laterally delimited by the insulating member.

9. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving sleeves for screw connections laterally configured in the insulating member; and
notches for the screw connections formed in the fuse board;
wherein the circuit board arrangement with the insulating member and the fuse receptacle is configured to be be mounted facing outward in a housing upper part via the screw connections.

10. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 9 , wherein the fuse and a further fuse are arranged on the fuse board in the fuse receptacle wherein the insulating member laterally encloses and electrically insulates the fuse and the further fuse.

11. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse passes through an opening in the insulating member.

12. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a control board and a plug connector; wherein the plug connector is configured to mechanically and electrically connect the fuse board with the control board.

13. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cover plate, wherein a plurality of snap-in connectors configured to receive the cover plate are formed in the insulating member, wherein the cover plate is arranged on a side of the fuse board facing away from the insulating member.

14. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 13 , further comprising:
a fuse receptacle arranged on the fuse board and configured to hold the fuse; and
a control board and a plug connector, wherein the plug connector is configured to mechanically and electrically connect the fuse board with the control board;
wherein the circuit board arrangement is configured to be mounted facing outward in a housing upper part;
wherein the housing upper part, the control board, the cover plate, the fuse board, and the insulating member are configured to stack one inside the other.

15. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the cover plate comprises openings configured to receive the plug connector.

16. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating member is configured to attach and lock onto the fuse board, and wherein the insulating member at least partially laterally surrounds the fuse board.

17. The circuit board arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the separators are composed of a plurality of straight sections arranged at angles to one another.
