Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to an electrical connector comprising a housing carrying a plurality of receptacle contacts for mating with a corresponding plurality of male contacts.
- With such electrical connectors of small size, for example connectors in which the pitch distance between adjacent receptacle contacts in a row thereof is smaller than 2.5 mm, difficulties arise in compensating for manufacturing tolerances.
- Such tolerances are substantially the same whatever the size of a connector, and are therefore of more significance with a small connector. While such tolerances can be compensated for in a large connector relatively easily, compensation is difficult to obtain in a small size connector where a permitted, or the lowest possible, manufacturing tolerance may be large relative to a critical dimension of the connector.
- A particular problem which occurs is misalignment between the male-contact-receiving openings of one or more of the receptacle contacts and the associated male contact or contacts of the mating array thereof. Such misalignment can make it impossible for the connector to be mated with the array of male contacts, or can result in mating being achieved only with damage to one or more of the contacts.
- According to the invention, an electrical connector is provided which comprises a housing carrying therein a plurality of receptacle contacts for mating with a plurality of male contacts. Each receptacle contact comprises a receptacle portion defining an opening to receive a mating male contact. A mounting portion is also provided by which the receptacle contact is mounted in the housing an an intermediate portion is also provided by which the receptacle portion is connected to the mounting portion and which permits movement of the receptacle portion relative to the mounting portion. The connector is characterized in that the receptacle portion of each receptacle contact comprises a pair of opposed resilient arms joined by a bight portion. The free ends of the arms together define a male contact-receiving opening. The intermediate portion comprises a single resilient straight arm extending from the mounting portion to the bight portion.
- In accordance with further embodiments of the invention, each receptacle contact is stamped and formed from a single piece of sheet metal and lies in the plane of the sheet metal. A further embodiment is characterized in that the mounting portion of each receptacle contact has a wire connection portion by which a wire can be connected to the receptacle contact.
- In accordance with further embodiments, the single resilient straight arm extends from the mounting portion substantially parallel to the bight portion and is connected to the bight portion at the junction between one of the arms and the bight portion, the one arm being the arm which is more distant from the mounting portion than the other arm. In a further embodiment, the mounting portion has at least one laterally extending end, the wire connection portion comprising at least one wire-receiving slot in the laterally extending end. The mounting portion is immovably contained in the housing in a pressed fit manner and the receptacle portion is capable of limited movement relative to the mounting portion by virtue of the resilient straight arm.
- An electrical connector according to this invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the drawing which is a perspective view of the connector with part broken away together with a mating male contact array.
- Referring to the drawing, the connector comprises a housing 1 molded from electrically insulating plastics material and having a plurality of
cavities 2 arranged in a row, each to receive a receptacle contact 3. - The connector is for mating with a printed circuit board header comprising a row of
male contact posts 100 carried by ahousing 101 molded from electrically insulating plastics material, eachpost 100 having amounting portion 102 for receipt in a hole in a printed circuit board (not shown), and acontact portion 103 for mating with an associated one of the receptacle contacts 3. - The
housings 1 and 101 are shaped to mate with each other with thecontacts 3 and 100 carried thereby mated, the housing 1 being formed with a longitudinally extending rounded rib 4 which is received in a correspondinglyshaped groove 104 in thehousing 101 to secure the housings together in the mated condition. - Each receptacle contact 3 is stamped and formed, in known manner, from a single piece of sheet metal, and comprises a
receptacle portion 5 comprising a pair of opposed arms 6 and 7 joined by a bight portion 8 to form a substantially U-shaped receptacle portion, the free ends of the arms 6 and 7 together defining a male-contact-receiving opening 9 for receiving one of themale contact posts 100 to be gripped between the free ends of the arms 6 and 7. The opening 9 of the contact 3 is aligned with ahole 10 in the housing 1 through whichhole 10 thepost 100 enters the opening 9. - Each receptacle contact 3 also comprises a
mounting portion 11 by which the contact 3 is secured in itscavity 2 in the housing 1, themounting portion 11 comprising a plate 12 having opposedend portions end portions projections 15 which engage a wall of the housing 1 and urge the plate 12 against an opposite wall of the housing 1 to secure the contact 3 in itscavity 2 in the housing 1 in a press fit manner. - The
mounting portion 11 of each receptacle contact 3 also constitutes a wire connection portion by which a wire can be connected to the receptacle contact 3, in that eachend portion - The
receptacle portion 5 of each receptacle contact 3 is connected to themounting portion 11 thereof by anintermediate portion 18 comprising a single straight resilient arm which is connected to thereceptacle portion 5 of the receptacle contact 3 adjacent the junction between the arm 6 and the bight portion 8 of thereceptacle portion 5. The resilientintermediate portion 18 of each receptacle contact 3 permits movement of thereceptacle portion 5 relative to themounting portion 11, and since the mounting portion is fixed against movement relative to the housing 1, the movement of thereceptacle portion 5 is also relative to the housing 1, thecavity 2 in the housing 1 being sized to permit such movement of thereceptacle portion 5. - Thus, the
receptacle portions 5 of the receptacle contacts 3 are capable of relative movement in theircavities 2 in the housing 1, and in the event that on mating of the receptacle contacts 3 with the associatedmale post contacts 100, one or more of the receptacle contact openings 9 is not in correct alignment with the associatedpost 100, the engagement between thatpost 100 and the arms 6 and 7 of the associatedreceptacle portion 5 can move thereceptacle portion 5 within itscavity 2 to achieve correct and accurate mating between thepost 100 and thereceptacle portion 5, without affecting the mating ofother posts 100 and their associatedreceptacle portions 5, and without damaging any of the contacts.
