Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly and, more particularly, to an electrical connector assembly that is useful for waterproof applications.
  • a waterproof connector assembly comprises a board having opposite surfaces and including a plurality of conductors thereon, the conductors being exposed to one of the surfaces.
  • a housing supports a plurality of contacts in electrical engagement with the exposed conductors.
  • a compressible member, supported by the housing circumscribes the contacts and is disposed between the board and the housing.
  • a holding member supported by the housing includes a resilient portion for resiliently urging the board toward the housing and thereby causing electrical engagement between the conductors and the contacts and compressing the compressible member between the housing and the board to provide a waterproof seal around the engaged conductors and contacts.
  • Figures 1A, 1B and 1C are perspective views showing the respective elements of one embodiment of the present connector assembly.
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the connector assembly of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the assembly of the connector assembly of Figure 1.
  • a connector of the present device is shown with a member connected thereto, such as a printed circuit board 1.
  • a housing 2 of the connector includes a plurality of contacts 21 at suitably spaced pitches.
  • the housing 2 has a board insertion recessed portion 23 for inserting the board 1.
  • Distal end portions 21a of the contacts are exposed in the board insertion portion 23.
  • the contacts 21 are in contact with conductors portions of conductor parts 11 of the printed circuit board 1, respectively.
  • Opposite end portions of the contacts constitute depending legs 21b to be connected to another printed circuit board 4.
  • the printed circuit board 1 connected to the housing 2 includes the conductor parts 11 which are to be electrically connected to electric components mounted on the board or other electric components through the board.
  • the surfaces of the conductor parts 11 are coated with a suitable waterproof film or, alternatively, a waterproof insulating layer 12 is formed thereon.
  • An elongated window 13 is formed through the insulating layer portion which is brought into contact with the end portions 21a of the contacts 21 in the housing.
  • the edge of the window 13 is located inside the edge of the board 1.
  • the engagement areas between the contacts 21 and the board 1 are waterproofed by pressing the packing member 22 on the edge of the window so as to prevent water from entrance.
  • Reference numeral 3 in Fig. 1A denotes a cap member for holding and pressing the printed circuit board 1 on the contacts 21 in the housing 2.
  • the ends of the cap member 3 all have depending flanges 32 with openings 33 therethrough which are engaged with latches 24 arranged at the end faces of the housing 2.
  • the latching means is not limited to the specific latch shown.
  • a spring effect is provided in the cap member 3.
  • spring members 31 are disposed in the cap member 3.
  • other spring effects may also be provided to the contacts.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show states wherein the connector is about to be connected to the printed circuit board 1.
  • the contact portions between the conductors parts 11 of the board and the contacts 21 are waterproofed by the peripheral portion of the window 13 surrounding the contact portions and the packing member 22 so as to prevent waterdrops from entering the contact portions.
  • the connector assembly as the present device is provided to have good waterproof properties that result when the board is inserted in the board insertion portion 23 of the housing 2 and is held by the holding action of the cap member 3. Therefore, good electrical connections between the board and the contacts can be achieved, and at the same time the contact portions waterproofed. As such, operability is desirably improved relative to a conventional waterproof connector.
