Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to modular electrical telephone connectors. Specifically, it is directed to a family or set of such connectors having identical mating ends but different terminating ends depending upon the particular application.
  • Connectors for multi-conductor telephone cables are well known.
  • the mating ends of these connectors generally include a plurality of flat-blade type contacts, with male and female versions designed to cooperatively intermate to form highly reliable, though relatively low cost, electrical connections.
  • different terminating ends have been provided on these connectors such as: solder terminations; wire-wrap terminations; insulation displacement terminations, including both composite and flat cables; printed circuit terminations, etc.
  • a manufacturer will produce a line of such connectors having a basic body style, common mating ends and different termination ends. Examples of such connectors are those manufactured and sold by the Amphenol North America Division of Bunker Ramo Corporation under the series tradenames "57" and "157".
  • connectors with all plastic bodies have come into use in the telephone industry. These connectors, while incorporating the same type of electrical contacts as their metal-with-plastic-insert forebears, are capable of being molded in one piece. Understandably, the molds tend to be complex and expensive. Individual flat-blade contacts are inserted in the connector bodies which include cooperating means for retaining the contacts in position. Additionally, suitable protective covers or hoods, strain relief clamps and mounting brackets are provided, and the connector is ready for installation.
  • Telephone connectors of the above types are acceptable for use in many foreign countries.
  • the particular type of termination end used may, however, differ from the popular domestic connector in the family. Indeed, it is more probable that the termination ends desired are not the same as those used in the domestic market.
  • the present invention answers the problems in a number of ways. It envisions a modularized all plastic body connector having a maximum degree of acceptability in the world markets with the complex common mating parts being molded where demand will insure efficiencies and the simpler, yet different, termination parts being molded at the remote location.
  • the connector body is formed by joining the two parts at the remote location.
  • one connector manufactured by DDK of Japan includes a two-piece plastic body with one piece defining essentially the mating part of the connector and an insert supporting a plurality of molded-in-place contacts which cooperate with the mating part when the insert is joined to the finished connector.
  • the molded-in-place contacts apparently precluded a one-piece construction, which is not believed feasible, if indeed possible.
  • Modular components of telephone-type connectors also are in the prior art, as evidenced by United States Letters Patents Nos. 3,760,336, 4,239,317 and 4,239,320, all of which are assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
  • the modular concepts of these patents are limited to providing standardized telephone plugs or adapters, standardized telephone jack connectors, modular blocks for different sized pin and socket contacts in a standard connector shell, or the like.
  • Another U.S. Patent No. 3,885,849 discloses a circular connector which has different types of molded male and female inserts so that different connector combinations can be obtained.
  • no known prior art has been directed to modulari- zation of the connector itself for use with a wide variety of termination systems at remote locations.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel method and system for molding all plastic contact-supporting connector bodies or modules of a modular electrical connector of the character described.
  • a modular electrical telephone connector which includes molded plastic common housing means defining a mating portion of the connector and including a generally open-ended cavity. Molded plastic insert means are provided including a set or family of contact-supporting modules defining different termination configurations of the connector. Each of the modules are constructed and arranged for interchangeably nesting in and substantially filling at least one end of the cavity of the housing means.
  • the contact-supporting modules of the set thereof each supports a plurality of contact elements different from the contact elements of other of the modules. Of course, any number of each particular type of contact-supporting module is contemplated.
  • Each of the plurality of contact elements includes an identical mating portion at one end of the cavity for mating with a contact element of the complementary standardized connector, and a termination portion at the other end of the cavity forming a termination configuration defined by the selected module.
  • the modular electrical connector can be adapted for mating with the complementary connector and terminating with different arrangements and types of conductors by interchanging the modules.
  • the invention contemplates contact-supporting modules of different configurations for supporting a plurality of contact elements to effect different types of termination.
  • one disclosed contact-supporting module supports a plurality of contact elements each of which includes a termination portion for piercing the insulation and establishing electrical connection with the conductor of a single insulated wire conductor, normally comprising a strand of a multi-conductor cable.
  • Another disclosed contact-supporting module supports a plurality of contact elements each of which includes a termination portion for piercing the insulation and establishing electrical connection with a conductor of a multi-conductor flat cable.
  • a further disclosed contact-supporting module supports a plurality of contact elements each of which includes a termination portion for establishing electrical connection with a conductor of a printed circuit board.
  • other types of contact-supporting modules are contemplated for different types of termination systems, with the modules being releasably mountable in the molded plastic common housing means.
  • the invention also contemplates a system or method for molding all plastic contact-supporting modules or bodies of an electrical connector. More particularly, the system includes providing at a first location mold means for molding common, standardized housings for mating with complementary standardized electrical connectors having a plurality of contact elements. The system provides at each of a plurality of different locations mold means for molding different contact-supporting modules which are similarly constructed in-part for disposition within the common housings but which are differently constructed in part for supporting a plurality of contact elements having different termination means. With this system the modular electrical connector can be adapted at the different locations for terminating with different selected conductors by utilizing the common housings molded at the first location and interchanging the contact-supporting modules at the respective different locations, such as various countries throughout the world.
  • a method of efficiently producing, at different locations, limited quantities of all plastic connector bodies in a set of connector bodies having identical mating ends and different termination ends comprises the steps of molding the mating ends of the connector bodies at a first location in high throughput molds; molding the termination ends of the connector bodies at remote locations in low throughput molds, each low throughput mold producing termination ends complementary to and cooperable with any mating end from said high throughput mold such that when joined together a connector body in said set is produced; and joining any of the termination ends to any of the mating ends to form a connector body.
  • the molding system or method as described above is also readily adaptable for providing mold means for molding one piece all plastic contact-supporting modules or bodies of an electrical connector, as well as in two pieces.
  • the system includes providing a first mold portion for molding a common mating portion of the module and a complementary second mold portion for molding a termination portion of the module integral with the mating portion.
  • a third mold portion is provided complementary to and cooperable with the first mold portion for selectively molding only the mating portion of the module, corresponding to the aforesaid molded plastic housing means of the modular connector.
  • a fourth mold portion is provided complementary to and cooperable with the second mold portion for selectively molding only the termination portion of the module, corresponding to the aforesaid molded plastic insert means of the modular connector.
  • a method of fabricating all plastic contact-supporting connector bodies having a mating part and a terminating part in one piece or in two pieces comprises the steps of fabricating the one-piece connector body in a two-piece mold having a first portion for molding the mating part and a complementary second portion for molding the termination part integral with the mating part; fabricating the mating part of the two-piece connector in a mold consisting of the first portion and a third portion complementary to and cooperable with the first portion; fabricating the termination part of the two-piece connector body in a mold consisting of the second portion and a fourth portion complementary to and cooperable with the second portion; and affixing parts fabricated by the last two steps, respectively, to each other.
  • a plurality of different second portions and a like plurality of different fourth portions complementary to and cooperable with said second portions, respectively, are provided for molding a plurality of different termination parts for cooperable engagement with the mating part of the two-piece connector body.

This is important where different termination systems are used at different locations, such as different countries throughout the world.
