Definitions

  • This invention relates to multi-pin molded connectors having contacts which are field repairable.
  • Molded connectors are well known in the art. Such connectors comprise a termination end including a plurality of male or female contacts which are positioned in the connector body which is molded onto the end of a cable.
  • the molded connector end is advantageous since it provides a tamper-proof and weather-tight connection to the cable for the plurality of contacts.
  • the individual contacts protrude beyond the face of connector, however, and are thus prone to being bent or otherwise damaged. In this event, it is necessary to replace the entire cable since the molded connector end is integral therewith. Since the cable may be 50 or more feet long, and the connector may comprise 100 or more contacts, such replacement is often expensive.
  • a molded connector comprises a first portion which is integrally molded onto a cable and a second removable portion which presents a plurality of contacts for mating engagement with another connector unit.
  • a molded connector generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the connector comprises an enlarged molded end 11 which is secured to a cable 12 and is formed around a cylindrical shell 14.
  • a plurality of termination contacts 16 are disposed within the cylindrical shell 14 and are held in place by a mass of insulating material 17.
  • the shell 14 includes a flange 18 on which is mounted a coupling ring 19.
  • Each of the termination contacts 16 is coupled to one of the conductors contained within the cable 12 in a manner which is well known in the art.
  • a plugshell contact assembly 21 includes an outer housing 22 having a portion 23 which is matable with the coupling ring 19.
  • the portion 23 may be threaded, or a bayonet or snap ring coupling depending on the form of the coupling ring 19.
  • a mass of insulating material comprises the plugshell body 24 and a plurality of plugshell contacts 26 are held in position thereby. It will be seen that the plugshell contacts 26 are equal in number and are arranged to mate with the plurality of termination contacts 16.
  • a coupling nut 27 is mounted on the plugshell body 22 and is used to mechanically secure the plugshell contact assembly 21 and the entire connector 10 to a mating connector unit (not shown).
  • the mating connector unit may be the termination end of another cable, a panel mounted connector, or the like.
  • each of the plugshell contacts 26 has male connector portions on both ends, but those skilled in the art will recognize that contacts having male or female ends may be used as required.
  • the termination contacts 16 are shown as having female ends, male ends may likewise be used.
  • the termination contacts 16 should not protrude beyond the face 28 of the insulating material 17 so as to be protected thereby.
  • the only contact portions of the connector 10 which are exposed are those portions of the plugshell contacts 26 which extend beyond the plugshell body 24. In this way, the plugshell contacts 26 are the only contacts in the connector which are susceptible to being broken or bent through mishandling.
  • the plugshell contacts 26 are easily replaceable as a unit by loosening the coupling ring 19, uncoupling the plugshell assembly 21 from the molded connector end, and replacing the same with a new assembly.
  • the coupling nut 27, which may become bent through mishandling, is also field repairable since by detaching the plugshell contact assembly 21 from the termination end, the coupling nut 27 may be removed from the rear of the plugshell contact assembly 21 and replaced.
