Abstract

An angled plug connector has an insulating housing made of plastic and a two-part shielding, consisting of a first (upper) shielding sheet and a second (lower) shielding, the shielding sheet being formed in one piece or in one part. The shieldings are at least partially arranged in the interior of the insulating housing. The shieldings can be easily stamped from a metal sheet, cut, then bent and inserted into the insulating housing.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An angled plug connector, comprising:
an insulating housing having a plug side and a back side facing opposite said plug side;
angled contact elements for establishing a connection between a corresponding plug and a printed circuit board;
a first shielding; and
a second shielding, the first and second shieldings together forming a shielded channel,
wherein the first shielding is formed as an angled metal sheet and in one part or in one piece,
wherein the first shielding is inserted into the insulating housing from the back side facing away from the plug side, and
wherein at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding has at least one spring tongue stamped in or out of the metal sheet for contacting with contacts of the corresponding plug within a plug-in region at the plug side of the insulating housing.

2. The angled plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein the second shielding is formed as one or more angled metal sheets, which are inserted from the back side facing away from the plug side into the insulating housing.

3. The angled plug connector according to claim 2 , wherein the second shielding is formed as one part or as two or more segments arranged next to each other.

4. The angled plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding are formed as stamped metal sheets.

5. The angled plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding has at least one fastening element stamped in or out of the metal sheet and/or a fastening section for fastening the at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding on to the insulating housing by introduction into a corresponding recess formed in the insulating housing.

6. The angled plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding is arranged in the plug-in region of the plug face such that a mating plug provided with external contacts can contact the shielding from inside an interior of the insulating housing.

7. A method for producing the angled plug connector according to claim 1 , comprising:
a) punching out a first shielding and a second shielding from a metal sheet;
b) bending at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding to produce angled first and second shieldings; and
c) at least partially inserting the at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding into an interior of an insulating housing from a back side of the insulating housing facing away from a plug side of the insulating housing,
wherein contact tongues, of at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding, for establishing contact with contacts of a corresponding plug within a region at the plug side of the insulating housing, are produced by punching out of the metal sheet or stamping in the metal sheet.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the first shielding is formed as one part.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the metal sheet is uncoated.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein fastening sections, of at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding, for fastening to the insulating housing, are produced by punching out of the metal sheet or stamping in the metal sheet.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein fastening sections, of at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding, for fastening to the insulating housing, are produced by punching out of the metal sheet or stamping in the metal sheet.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein fastening sections, of at least one of the first shielding and the second shielding, for fastening to the insulating housing, are produced by punching out of the metal sheet or stamping in the metal sheet.
