  • the electrical connection channels are produced from a metal strip that is good conductor of electricity, cut to present a series of H-shaped openings determining two tongues, these being folded on the side of a face of the strip to form the electrical connection channels, the marginal strips located on either side of the electrical connection channels ensuring the electrical connection between them and being capable of being sectioned according to the shunts to be produced.
  • the skirt has internally on two opposite parts of the stops, while the module has elastic tabs intended to cooperate with the stops to ensure the fixing of the module in the skirt.
  • the connector is of the type comprising, for the first housing element two series of superimposed housings capable of each receiving a male electrical connection member and, for the second complementary housing element, two series of superimposed housings capable each to receive a female electrical connection member, said shunting device being characterized in that the module comprises a body of insulating material provided with two series of superposed conduits intended to coincide with the housings of the first housing element each conduit being intended to receive a channel of electrical connections, the channels of electrical connections intended to be inserted in the conduits of a series being aligned and connected together by a marginal strip and each marginal strip being connected by an intermediate strip.
  • the electrical connection channels are produced from a metal strip that is good conductor of electricity cut to present two series of H-shaped openings separated by a strip in the middle part of which are cut openings elongated, the tabs determined by the H cutouts being folded to form two series of electrical connection channels, the strip being bent in a U so that the electrical connection channels are arranged opposite on two parallel planes and the marginal strips located between each series of electrical connection channels and the corresponding free edge of the strip being folded under said electrical connection channels.
  • each conduit of the module comprises an elastic tab for retaining the corresponding electrical connection channel.
  • At least one of the housing elements is of the type comprising compartments intended to receive cases comprising series of housings intended each to receive an electrical connection member.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown in exploded perspective an electrical connector according to the invention, this comprising a female housing 1, a complementary male housing 2 two cases 3 intended to be housed in compartments 7 of the female housing 1, two cases 4 intended to be housed in compartments 8 of the male box 2. For clarity in FIG. 1, only one of the cases 3 and 4 is shown.
  • Each case 3 is divided into a series of housings 10 each intended to receive a male electrical contact member 12 comprising a bar 13, lugs 15 for crimping the conductive core of a previously stripped electrical conductor and lugs 16 for crimping of the conductor with its insulator, a hole 14 being provided in said male member 12.
  • each case 4 is divided into a number of housings 21 corresponding to the housing 10 and each intended to receive a female electrical contact member 20.
  • the female electrical contact member 20 comprises lugs 25 for crimping the core d a stripped electrical conductor, tabs 26 for crimping the conductor and an extension 22 folded in the form of a clamp 23 to resiliently grip the strip 13.
  • the female electrical contact member 20 could be of another type, for example with a U-shaped housing, the free ends of the wings being folded inwards and being intended to enclose the strip 13 with the soul of the U .
  • the bar 13 could be cylindrical and the female contact have a corresponding shape.
  • a shunting module 5 In a skirt 28 of the female housing 1 is housed a shunting module 5.
  • the module 5 is shown in detail in FIGS. 2 to 8 and it includes an insulating support 55 and a connection strip 30.
  • connection strip 30 (see FIGS. 2, 3 and 4) is produced from a generally electrically conductive blank of rectangular shape with two long sides 32 and 33 and two short sides 34 and 35.
  • each tab 38 is folded on the side of one side of the blank and each tab 39 is also folded on the same side towards the tab 38 of the adjacent H cut to thereby form channels electrical connections 40.
  • the blank is then folded into a U along two lines 41 and 42 passing through the edge of the cutouts 37 adjacent to the openings 36 so that the electrical connection channels 40 are arranged on two parallel lines perpendicular to a core 48.
  • the marginal part 46 located between the edge of the cutouts 37 and the long side 32 is folded along a line 44 to extend under one of the lines of electrical connection channels 40.
  • the marginal part 47 situated between the edge of the cutouts 37 and the long side 33 is folded along a line 45 to extend under the second line of channels 40.
  • the references 50 show the zones which can be cut during the manufacture of the connection strip 30.
  • the references 51 designate the zones which can be cut after the connection strip 30 has been put in place in the module 5.
  • the module 5 consists of a body of insulating material 55 shaped to present a series of conduits 56 each intended to receive a channel of electrical connections 40 of a line of the connection strip 30.
  • the body 55 comprises a second series of conduits 57 intended to receive the electrical connection channels 40 of the second series.
  • the central part of the body 55 comprises, between a conduit 56 and the corresponding conduit 57, a box 59 against which the core 48 is supported. Between the boxes 59, large openings 60 are provided.
  • the conduits 56 are connected together by boxes 62, 63 and 64, while the conduits 57 are joined by boxes 65, 66 and 67.
  • a groove 69 in which is housed the marginal part 47, a similar groove 70 being formed between the boxes 65, 66 and 67 and the boxes 59 for the passage of the marginal part 46.
  • Each conduit 56 has an elastic tab 72 terminated by a hook 73.
  • Each conduit 57 is also provided with an elastic tab 74 terminated by a hook 75.
  • the tabs 72 and 74 are elastically retracted to allow the engagement of the channels of electrical connections 40 in the conduits 56 and 57 and when the said channels are placed, the hooks 73 and 75, cooperating with the corresponding ends of the channels, block the connection strip in the module.
