Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector with contact elements made of shape memory material.
  • the connection density appears to be a parameter of major interest because of the ever-increasing number of electrical circuits involved in modern electronic or electromechanical assemblies. It therefore appears that high-performance electrical connectors necessarily include a large number of plug-in male-female contact elements engaged by friction.
  • the connection-disconnection of this type of connector then requires the application of significant efforts due to the very number of these contact elements.
  • the repetition of the connection-disconnection operations has the effect of causing a phenomenon of wear of the contact elements and ultimately the deterioration of the corresponding connectors.
  • Shape memory materials have so far been the subject of a few applications in the field of electronics or industrial electronics to provide, in particular, electrical connection or disconnection functions.
  • connection-disconnection function is ensured by means of conventional contact elements which are actuated by means of an actuator element alone made of a material with shape memory and capable of participating, from the only mechanical point of view, in the desired connection-disconnection function.
  • An object of this J h vention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by the use of an electrical connector to ensure a large number of connection-disconnection cycles with a degree of wear of the contact elements very attenuated compared to conventional connectors or even to so-called low insertion force connectors.
  • Another object of the present invention is the implementation of a connector, as previously mentioned, having a connection density absolutely identical to that of the most efficient current conventional materials.
  • the electrical connector which is the subject of the invention comprises at least one male part and / or one female conductive part intended to be plugged into each other to ensure or break the electrical conduction at the level of these.
  • At least one of the male or female parts consists, at least at its active contact end, of a conductive shape memory material; the male or female part is shaped so as to closely adapt to the complementary part in a female or male p re- Mier shape memory state and to ensure the disengagement of said female or male complementary portion in a second shape memory state.
  • the invention is applicable to the electrical connectors of all types used in areas as diverse as industrial electronics, electromechanical, the installations oceanni q ues artificial satellites or aircraft, computer and telematic equipment.
  • the electrical connector object of the invention comprises at least one male part 20 and / or one female part 10 conductive.
