    [0002] Electronic device with plug-in connector
    [0004] The present specification refers, as its title indicates, to an electronic device with an insertable connector, of the type operated by means of a rotary shaft, or with means for coupling a rotary shaft, such as a potentiometer, a switch, an encoder, etc., comprising a commercially pre-existing electronic device, provided with metal pins for mounting by soldering on a printed circuit, on which an adapter piece is over-injected to form an insertable connector with the appropriate thickness for insertion into a commercial external connector.
    [0006] Field of the invention
    [0007] The invention relates to the field of electronic components, especially those driven by a rotary shaft, or with means for coupling a rotary shaft.
    [0009] Current state of the art
    [0010] At present, many electronic devices actuated by a rotary shaft, or with means for coupling a rotary shaft, such as potentiometers, switches, encoders, etc. are used in industry today. Normally, for the most part, these devices are equipped with flat pins, with a reduced thickness normally of the order of 0.3 mm, intended for insertion and soldering on a printed circuit or PCB. However, due to consumer requirements of these products, in many cases they need to be electrically associated with a connector, forming a sub-assembly to facilitate their assembly, disassembly and maintenance in the final equipment.
    [0012] This presents a problem for manufacturers of electronic devices of this type, since their standard manufactured product is for soldering on printed circuit boards. This forces us to look for alternative solutions.
    [0014] In some cases, it is solved by manufacturing an electronic device expressly, with the connector forming part of the same printed circuit as that used for the electronic component, and forming an integral part of it. These solutions can be found reflected, for example, in patent GB2240885 "Potentiometer connector". In other cases, independent terminals are split off from the same printed circuit, riveted or welded, which make up said connector, as for example described in patents JP2007294802 "Potentiome r ' , JPH11295011 " Potentiomete r' , JPH10293005 "Potentiometer ', and CN200956291 " Potentiometer coupling ", but in both embodiments they have the great disadvantage that They force the creation of specific production lines, with a high economic cost, which is why it is only profitable and applicable for large production runs.
    [0016] It is more convenient and requires less investment for the manufacturer to seek solutions that use existing standard electronic devices. In this line, another frequently adopted solution is to put an aerial connector by means of soldered wiring on the pins of the electronic device. Examples of these realizations are found in the patents KR20190005731 "Motor and method for connecting encoder cable", CN107176118 "Car switch assembly with electric current counterstrike prevention effect ' and JPH01164003 "Potentiometer', however this requires manual cable welding processes , difficult to automate and therefore expensive and only adaptable to short series.
    [0018] Another possible solution is the use of an intermediate printed circuit, in which both the electronic device and the connector are mounted, sometimes all encapsulated in the same body. This, for example, is reflected in the patent CN109659189 "Double layer knob switch", but, as in the previous case, it presents the problem of requiring an intermediate printed circuit, with its own insertion and soldering process, which is more expensive. and they significantly complicate the solution.
    [0020] Description of the invention
    [0021] In order to solve the currently existing problem regarding the addition of connectors to commercially pre-existing electronic devices, improving the current state of the art, the electronic device with an insertable connector object of the present invention has been devised, which comprises a pre-existing electronic device , driven by means of a rotating shaft, or with means for coupling a rotating shaft, and fitted with metal pins for mounting by soldering on a printed circuit, and an adapter piece of thermoplastic material over-injected onto the metal pins, in such a way that One of the external faces of each of the metal pins is accessible outside the adapter piece, forming a contact surface, while the rest of the adapter piece forms an insertable connector with the appropriate thickness for insertion into a commercial external connector. .
    [0022] This makes it possible to take a standard, pre-existing electronic device, with pins for soldering, and, by over-injection of thermoplastic material on the pins, formed in the same plane, to provide it with an adapter piece that supplements the pins with sufficient thickness, and with the appropriate shape, for insertion into a commercial external connector, using the external face of the metal pins themselves as contact for the clamp or contact element available on the commercial external connector.
    [0024] Advantages of the invention
    [0025] This electronic device with an insertable connector that is presented provides multiple advantages over the systems available today, the most important being that it allows to provide a connector to pre-existing standard electronic components, in a fast and much more economical and competitive way than any of the existing ones. currently..
    [0027] Another important advantage is that it allows taking a standard, pre-existing electronic device with solder pins normally with a thickness of about 0.3mm, and using them in connectors that require thicker pins, for example 1.5mm. .
    [0029] Another advantage of the present invention is that by means of the over-injection it allows to configure, from a standard component, any form of connector, with the contact surface completely flat.
    [0031] Another of the most important advantages to highlight is that, for the manufacturer, the investment required is minimal, hardly needing to modify the manufacturing lines that currently exist, allowing the range of products for printed circuit to be made compatible with products with a single connector. easy and simple way.
    [0033] Also another added advantage is that it is applicable to any electronic component with flat solder pins with reduced thickness.
    [0035] Finally, we must not fail to mention that this solution is easily customizable and adaptable to both small, medium and large production series.
    [0036] Description of the figures
    [0037] To better understand the object of the present invention, a preferred practical embodiment of an electronic device with an insertable connector has been shown in the attached drawing. In said plane, figure -1- shows upper and lower perspective views of the device.
    [0039] Figure -2- shows rear, side and front views of the device.
    [0041] Figure -3- shows an exploded view, in perspective, of the fundamental elements of the device.
    [0043] Figure -4- shows a perspective view of the device, with an enlarged detail, in the alternative embodiment in which the adapter piece has retention extensions.
    [0045] Preferred embodiment of the invention
    [0046] The constitution and characteristics of the invention will be better understood with the following description made with reference to the attached figures.
    [0048] As can be seen in Figures 1, 2 and 3, an electronic device with an insertable connector is illustrated, of the type operated by means of a rotation axis, or with means (2) for the coupling of a rotation axis, such as for example a potentiometer, a switch, an encoder, etc., comprising a pre-existing electronic device (1), actuated by means of a rotation axis, or with means (2) for the coupling of a rotation axis, and equipped with metal pins ( 3) for assembly by soldering on a printed circuit, and an adapter piece (4) of thermoplastic material over-injected onto the metal pins (3), in such a way that one of the external faces (5) of each of the metal pins (3 ) is accessible outside the adapter piece (4), forming a contact surface, while the rest of the adapter piece (4) forms a male insertable connector with the appropriate thickness for insertion into a commercial external female connector.
    [0050] The metal pins (3) are preferably shaped in the same plane.
    [0052] The adapter piece (4) is secured to the rest of the faces of the metallic pins (3) other than the external face (5) by the over-injection. An alternative embodiment is envisaged which is illustrated in figure 4 in which the adapter piece (4) also has some retention extension (7), in plastic material, partially extended over any part of the metal pins (3), leaving most of the external face (5) accessible as a contact surface.
    [0054] It is also provided that, alternatively, the adapter piece (4) has positioning means that guarantee its insertion in a single position in a commercial external female connector. These positioning means can be one or more positioning grooves (6), one or more chamfers, zones of different thickness, polarization tabs, etc ...
    [0056] Generally the adapter piece (4) is separated from the main body of the electronic device (1), being related only by means of the metal pins (3), although, alternatively, the over-injection can be done in such a way that the adapter piece (4) is integrally attached to the main body of the electronic device (1).
    [0058] The person skilled in the art will readily understand that he can combine features of different embodiments with features of other possible embodiments, provided that such a combination is technically possible.
    [0060] All information referring to examples or embodiments forms part of the description of the invention.
