VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE MODULE

摘要

Vehicle diagnostic interface module comprising: a printed circuit board, an OBD connector, which is provided with a plate-like contact-carrier socket arranged parallel to and facing the printed circuit board, a plurality of rigid pins, each of them having a first segment projecting from the inner face of the socket along an axis orthogonal to the printed circuit board and inserted in a notch formed on the outer perimeter edge of the board.

1. A vehicle diagnostic interface module (1) comprising:
a protective outer casing (5), an electronic module (4) which is provided with at least one printed circuit board (15) arranged inside said protective outer casing (5), and a connector (2) provided with a plate-like contact-carrier socket (6), which is coupled to said outer casing (5) and is arranged parallel to said printed circuit board (15) orthogonal to a longitudinal reference axis (A), and comprises an inner face (7) facing to said printed circuit board (15); said connector (2) further comprising a collar (9) projecting from an opposite outer face (8) of said socket (6); said printed circuit board (15) having a first larger face (16) adjacent to said inner face (7) of the socket (6); said vehicle diagnostic interface module (1) being characterized in that it comprises a plurality of rigid pins (3), which are integrated into said socket (6); each rigid pin (3) is shaped so as to comprise: a first segment (11) which projects from said inner face (7) of the socket (6) in order to be parallel to said longitudinal axis (A) orthogonal to said printed circuit board (15); a second segment (10) that projects from said outer face (8) of said socket (6) opposite said inner face (7) so as to protrude/extend within said collar (9) while remaining parallel to said longitudinal axis (A); and a central intermediate segment (12) which is integrated into said socket (6) and extends within said socket (6) along a direction transverse to said longitudinal axis (A); wherein said pins (3) are integrated into said socket (6) so as to form two parallel rows of second segments (10) facing each other on said outer face (8) and two parallel rows of first segments (10) facing each other on said inner face (7) of said socket (6); said socket (6) and said printed circuit board (15) are substantially rectangular; said two rows of first segments (11) are arranged on the respective opposite larger sides (21) of said printed circuit board (15), these larger sides being, in turn, arranged parallel and adjacent to the opposite larger sides of said socket (6); said first segments (11) being inserted in notches (20) formed on said opposite larger sides (21) of said printed circuit board (15), where they are electrically coupled to said printed circuit board (15).
