Abstract
Description
- It is often desirable to make electrical taps .to a plurality of wires in an electrical cable.
- In one known connector assembly disclosed in US-A-4,032,211 a male and female connector each having a wire connecting side and a mating side, oppositely directed to the wire connecting side, are clamped together with their wire connecting sides adjacent and wire connecting portions of corresponding terminals in alignment, the mating sides being oppositely directed.
- However, a disadvantage of such prior connector assembly is that no provision is made for shielding the wires which is often desirable and to avoid signal interference. In addition, there are no means for mechanically connecting the assembly to further assemblies as may often be desired, for example, in a telephone substation.
- According to the invention an electrical connector assembly for multiple wire cable, having a male and female connector pair with terminals thereof having aligned wire connecting portions and oppositely projecting mating portions adjacent mating sides of said connector pair; is characterised by first and second metal intermated shells fully enclosing said connector pairto shield them and having a first opening encircled by a first flange exposing a first mating side of one of said pair of connectors, the flange extending beyond the first mating side, and a second opening encircled by a second flange exposing a second mating side of-the other of said connectors, the second flange extending beyond the second mating side, ends of said shells defining between them a cable entrance for wires of a multiple wire cable, connected to said pair of connectors and fastening means extending through said intermated shells to connect together, plural, stacked pairs of intermated shells, and wherein the first flange of said pair of mating connectors will mate with the second flange of another such pair of mating connectors and a plug mating side of said pair of connectors will interfit with a receptacle mating side of said other pair of connectors so that a pair of multiple wire cables are electrically coupled together.
- There is disclosed in US-A-3,056,942, an electrical connector having a bipartite shield divided along a medial plane. In order to shield a pair of mating connectors, therefore, four shielding parts are needed, and even so, the connectors are not fully enclosed by the cover and the pair of mating connectors can be mated only with one other such pair of connectors. Also, cable entry is provided for by means of clamps secured to shielding parts.
- Connector assemblies of the invention can provide a completely shielded tapped connection to two or more coaxial cables and may be readily mechanically connected together on site, and each pair of mating connectors can mate with two other such pairs of mating connectors. Each shielding shell can be cast as a unit, since the cable entrance is defined by the shells themselves.
- Conveniently, the fastener means includes a plurality of cap screws extending through aligned openings in the shells and each having a screw threaded shank end portion and ≈ ^ompIemen- tarily screw threaded head, the shank end portion of each cap screw projecting outwardly of the shells and engaging in the screw threaded head of a cap screw of said other pair of connectors, whereby a plurality of connector assemblies are interlocked together. These cap screws can all be identical with one another, so that both stocking and the assembly of a stack of connector assemblies are simplified.
- US-A-3,056,942 discloses the use of cap screws for securing only two connectors together. A plurality of different kinds of screws of different dimensions are employed.
- Preferably, a pair of wire clasping members each having a hasp at one end and at the other end a latch, are latched together about the abutting wire connecting sides of the pair of mating connectors to provide strain relief for the wires, the clasping members cooperating to hold the wires in mutually aligned channels formed in said wire connecting sides, the surface of each said member being rounded to prevent pinching damage to the wires and an undercut channel extending along each clasping member providing clearance for the corresponding wires.
- Although US-A-4,095,870, US-A-3,920,306 and US-A-3,824,530. disclose wire clasping members which can be latched together about wires on.opposite sides of an electrical connector, the wire clasping members do not cooperate to retain the wires in mutually aligned channels formed in a pair of mated connectors, having a common cable entrance at one end.
- An example of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a connector assembly according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a view of the connector assembly shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is an end view of the connector assembly of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4-4 of Figure 2; and
- Figure 5 is a side elevation partly in cross- section of two connector assemblies clamped together in mating engagement (with strain relieving clasps omitted for clarity).
- The
connector assembly 1 is for effecting shielded connection toindividual wires 4 of a coaxial cable 2 which wires are surrounded by ashield 6 of metal braid which is contained within anouter jacket 8 of plastics material. Thewires 4 are connected to corresponding electrical terminals in each of two connectors described in United States Patent Specification No. 3,760,335, one connector being a male orplug connector 10, and the other being a female orreceptable connector 12, clamped together in back-to-back relationship. Thewires 4 are connected to the terminals of theplug connector 10 andreceptacle connector 12 using the technique disclosed in United States Patent Specification No. 4,032,211. - More specifically, the plug connector has a
wire connecting side 10A abutting awire connecting side 12A of thereceptacle connector 12. Eachside wire receiving channels 14. Electrical terminals of the type disclosed in United States Patent Specification No. 3,760,335 have wire connecting portions located in thechannels 14 of each connector and these wire connecting portions will penetrate the insulation of a wire when inserted into a channel, and establish electrical contact with the conductive core of the wire. As shown in Figures 1 and 5, thewires 4 are divided into two groups, 4A and 4B distributed along perspective parallel rows of thechannels 14 and connected to respective rows of electrical terminals therein. The terminatedwires clasps 16 each moulded in one piece from plastics material and of sufficient length to cover the opposed wire- connectingsides Undercut channels 18 are formed along eachclasp 16 to provide a clearance for corresponding wires. The surface of each clasp is rounded to prevent pinching damage to any of the wires. One end of eachclasp 16 is provided with alatching projection 19, engageable in an opening 23 in ahasp 21 on the other end of each clasp to secure the clasps together thereby to hold the wires more securely in the channels preventing inadvertent disconnection from the electrical terminals. - The
connectors receptacle mating side 12B oppositely directed to a male orplug mating side 10B. Aflange 12C and 10C on the receptacle and plug respectively separate the mating sides from thewire receiving sides flanges 12C and 10C are reduced for compactness, and to fit within the confines of corresponding cast metal half-shells - The half-
shells cavities connectors Bottom walls elongate openings flanges Side walls end walls bores 68. Hemi-cylindrical cable lead-outopenings 42 and 56, respectively, of stepped diameter are provided in theends 36 and 58 and are formed with mutually aligned spaced apartribs semi-cylindrical grooves shells grooves jacket 8 of the cable 2, and is installed prior to connecting thewires 4 to theconnectors ribs shield 6 to establish a good mechanical and electrical connection therewith. Theflanges 10C and 12C seat against thebottom walls receptacle mating sides openings flanges Screws 66 passing throughbores 40 engage threadedbores 68 connecting theshells elongate cap screws 70 pass through alignedopenings 72 in theshell flange 1 OC, 76 in theflange shell 22. Eachcap screw 70 includes an enlarged threadedshank end 80 which projects outwardly of theshell 22. Theends 80 may engage complementary screwheads of another set ofcap screws 70 which are assembled to another connector, allowing a plurality of connector assemblies 1 to be stacked and interlocked together, whereby the cables 2 may have theirwires 4 electrically coupled together. As shown in Figure 5, the half-shell flange 54 fits into the half-shell flange 30 in mating relation. In addition, thereceptacle mating side 12A intermates with aplug mating face 10B of the other connector.
