Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly in combination with conductors of a multiconductor cable capable of providing a connector in a daisy chain configuration on a cable and to a method of terminating either conductors of a multiconductor flat cable, or conductors of a multiple conductor round cable, to the connector assembly in a daisy chain configuration.
  • Connectors for terminating a flat ribbon cable in a daisy chain configuration are known. Typical connectors for terminating a ribbon style cable in a daisy chain configuration are shown in U.S. Patents 4,068,912, 4,410,229 and 4,668,039. These connectors are designed to terminate ribbon cable to a connector having receptacle contacts for reception on a corresponding array of square posts.
  • a pin and socket connector is disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,062,616, 4,241,970 and RE 32,439 capable of terminating a flat ribbon cable in a daisy chain configuration.
  • These patents disclose connectors having contacts that terminate to a single array of conductors which permits a ribbon cable to be terminated to contacts secured in the connector, then pass through the connector to continue in the daisy chain configuration.
  • High density connectors such as the AMPLIMITE .050 Series connector sold by the assignee, typically have contacts with insulation displacement cable terminating sections in two, oppositely-facing arrays which do not permit terminating a ribbon cable in the manner of the connectors disclosed in the above patents.
  • a ribbon cable may be folded over with the conductors of the cable terminated to two arrays of contacts.
  • a first portion of the conductors of a cable is terminated in staggered terminals on a first level and the remaining conductors are terminated to spaced contacts on a second level, as taught by U.S. Patent Number 4,143,935.
  • This approach is not suited to daisy chain applications as it does not permit the cable to be received from a previous connector in the daisy chain configuration at a first side of a terminating connector and pass from a second side of the terminating connector to a subsequent connector in the daisy chain configuration.
  • the pin assignments between the cable conductor and contacts is very limited and may not be consistent, depending upon how the conductors of the folded cable are oriented with respect to the two levels of contacts at each connector.
  • the insulation that interconnects conductors of a ribbon cable is split, parallel to the axis of the conductors, midway between conductors for a limited length along the cable. Alternate conductors or groups of conductors, as split out of the cable, are formed into a first loop, with the remaining alternate conductors or groups of conductors, as split out of the cable, formed into a second loop.
  • a connector housing having two arrays of insulation displacing contacts is positioned between the conductors forming the two loops with the insulation displacing portion of the contacts oriented to terminate to the conductors forming the loops.
  • a cable terminating cover is inserted through each of the first and second loops of conductors.
  • the conductors are positioned in respective fluted recesses in a respective cable terminating cover in accordance with a desired conductor-to-contact relationship.
  • the cable terminating covers are positioned with interengaging legs facing each other.
  • the conductors are terminated to the insulation displacing portion of the contacts in the connector housing by pressing the cable terminating covers together. Strain relief may be provided.
  • the present invention consists in an electrical connector assembly as defined in claim 1.
  • US-A-4 026 616 discloses a connector assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention consists in a method as defined in claim 6.
  • Figure 1 depicts a side sectional view of an electrical connector 10 having two arrays of insulation displacement contacts capable of terminating conductors of a multiple conductor cable to a pin or socket type connector in a daisy chain configuration in accordance with the present invention.
  • Connector 10 is an improvement over the connector disclosed in copending Application Serial No. 090,296 filed August 31, 1987, (corresponding to EP-A-0 331 688 publ. 13.09.89).
  • the preferred embodiment shows a shielded plug connector, however, the invention has application to other connectors such as unshielded connectors and receptacle connectors.
  • Drawn shell 12 shields tabs 14 of contact 16 and engages shielding of a complementary connector when mated thereto.
  • Elongate housing 20 is molded of thermoplastic material having a mating face 22 and opposing rear face 24 and a plurality of contact receiving passages 26 extending therebetween.
  • Mating face 22 may provide a polarization feature by having a trapezoidal or subminiature-D shape.
  • Shell 12 surrounds mating face 22 and conforms to the shape of housing 20. Shell 12 extends forward of mating face 22 and provides shielding for contacts 16.
  • Contact receiving passages 26 are arranged in two rows 27,29 and have contacts 16 secured therein. Contacts 16 are secured in contact receiving passages 26 by barbs 28 which plow through the sidewalls of contact receiving passages 26 upon insertion of contact 16, thereby securing contacts 16 by an interference fit.
  • Contact 16 includes central body portion 30 securingly received in contact receiving passages 26, with a mating portion, shown in the preferred embodiment as tab 14, extending from a first side thereof.
  • a terminating portion 32 extends from another side of body portion 30 and has on its free end a slotted insulation displacing plate 34 as is known in the art. Due to the relatively small size of connector 10 relative to the centerline spacing of contacts 16, adjacent contacts 16 in each row 27,29 have terminating portions 32 of different lengths to provide space for insulation displacing plates 34 with the result that insulation displacing plates 34 form two rows 35,37 on each side of terminal support block 36.
  • Terminal support block 36 extends rearward from rear face 24 between the two rows 27,29 of contact receiving passages 26 at least as far as terminating portions 32, defining surfaces 42,44 and having apertures 38 (see Figure 6) at opposite ends thereof.
  • Apertures 38 have axes that are parallel with insulation displacing plates 34.
  • Insulation displacing plates 34 in rows 27 and 29 have conductor receiving slots 40 that are opposed and open facing away from surfaces 42,44. During termination of conductors 48 to contacts 16, insulation displacing plates 34 bear on respective surfaces 42,44 of block 36.
  • An electrical connector 10 in accordance with the present invention may be terminated to either multiple conductor ribbon cable or multiple conductor round cable.
  • the jacket 47 or shielding 49 are stripped back or removed through the length of limited segment 50.
  • the insulation between adjacent conductors 48 is first split axially along a limited segment 50 of ribbon cable 46, as best seen in Figure 2.
  • a split 49 is made between all adjacent conductors 48 so that individual conductors 48 may be terminated to specific contacts 16 thereby permitting a specific conductor-to-contact assignment to be maintained and repeated along the daisy chain configuration.
  • This also permits terminating a ribbon cable 46 having conductors 48 on a first spacing to the insulation displacing plate 34 of contacts 16, the slots 40 of which are of a second spacing that may range from greater than to less than the first spacing.
  • Conductors 48 are formed into two loops as shown in Figure 3 through the limited segment 50 of cable 46.
  • a first loop 52 of conductors is formed of conductors 48a between the centerline 50c and end 50a of segment 50.
  • a second loop 54 of conductors is formed of conductors 48b between the centerline 50c and end 50b of segment 50.
  • Each conductor 48 is typically formed into only one of the two loops 52,54 of conductors; however, a conductor 48 could be formed into each of loops 52 and 54 and terminated on a contact 16 in each row of passages 27,29, thus being terminated on both sides of connector 10 or not terminated on a particular connector thus bypassing it to be terminated on another connector in a daisy chain configuration.
  • every other conductor 48 is formed into loop 52 with the alternate conductors 48 formed into loop 54.
  • the preferred embodiment thus provides a very convenient method of terminating ribbon cable with conductors of a first spacing to contacts having insulation displacing slots of a second spacing where the spacing of the contacts 16 is twice as great as the spacing of conductors 48 in ribbon cable 46.
  • conductors 48a are formed into loop 52 and conductors 48b are formed into loop 54.
  • the non-split portions of ribbon cable 46 are pulled, axially along the conductors, to be closer together.
  • the end result and loops 52,54 are best seen in Figure 1 with cable terminating covers 56,58 in a pretermination position, and in Figure 4 with cable terminating covers 56,58 in a terminated position.
  • any combination of dividing the conductors of a multiple conductor cable into a first group of conductors to form a first loop and a second group of conductors to form a second loop such that the conductors can continue in a daisy chain configuration with a predetermined conductor-to-contact assignment or a dressing are contemplated within the scope of the invention.
  • the preferred embodiment discloses forming every other conductor into a first loop and the alternate conductors into a second loop, the invention is not limited thereto.
  • the first, third, fourth, ninth and tenth conductors may be formed into a first loop while the remaining conductors are formed into a second loop.
  • conductor-to-contact assignments are very flexible providing a wide range of possible conductor-to-contact assignments.
  • first conductor 48 in a transverse path across the ribbon cable is terminated to the first contact 16 in a transverse path across the row 29 of contacts across a surface 42 of terminal support block 36
  • third conductor 48 in the transverse path across the ribbon cable is terminated to the second contact 16 in a transverse path across the row of contacts across a surface 42 of terminal support block 36
  • the fifth conductor 48 in the transverse path across the ribbon cable (third conductor in loop 52) is terminated to the third contact 16 in a transverse path across the row of contacts across a surface 42 of terminal support block 36, etc.
  • the invention is not limited thereto. Any conductor-to-contact assignment is contemplated within the invention.
  • the use of a round cable with color coded insulation on the individual conductors may have some advantage in more complex conductor-to-contact assignments due to the ease of identifying conductors by the color code.
  • the conductors of a twisted pair cable can be terminated maintaining the two conductors of a twisted pair on adjacent contacts.
  • conductors 48 may be fanned out into an organized configuration that may be replicated in the daisy chain application. The conductors may be maintained in the configuration at desired spacings by any known method such as an adhesive strip, heat bonding or chemical bonding of the insulation, or by tooling. Alternatively, conductors 48 of loops 52,54 may be individually positioned relative to an insulation displacing plate 34 for termination.
  • Cable terminating covers 56,58 may be substantially as disclosed in abovementioned copending Application Serial No. 090,296 filed August 31, 1987. Cable terminating covers 56,58 are elongate having sidewalls 60,62 opposed end walls 64,66, outer surface 68 and inner surface 70, a portion of which may be fluted. Leg means 72,74 extend from inner surface 70 proximate endwalls 64,66, and have aperture means 73,75 adjacent thereto.
  • Cable terminating covers 56,58 which may be hermaphroditic, have a recess 76 on one of sidewalls 60,62 that defines a conductor receiving passage 78 which permits conductors 48 to pass between cable terminating covers 56,58, more specifically recess 76, and rear face 24 to continue in the daisy chain configuration.
  • Conductors 46 turn 90 degrees from passing along surface 70 where they are terminated to pass through passage 78 which extends perpendicular to surface 70 and parallel to insulating displacing plates 34.
  • passage 78 takes the form of notches 80 to aid in positioning and maintaining conductors 48 prior to, during and subsequent to termination.
  • Passage 78 may take other forms such as a single wide recess for all conductors or a recess with individual notches per conductor, as shown in Figure 5.
  • Conductors 48 are positioned in notch 80, as seen in Figure 6, for an insulation displacement termination.
  • Cable terminating covers 56,58 may also have channels 82 in outer surface 68 to provide a recess for conductors 48.
  • outer surface 68 of terminating covers 56,58 provides a bearing surface on which force is applied to terminate conductors 48 to contacts 16.
  • Notches 80 provide an avenue for conductors 48 to egress from between terminating covers 56,58 and terminal support block 36 as well as from between terminating covers 56,58 and rear face 24 so that conductors 48 may continue in the daisy chain configuration.
  • Conductors 48 passing between terminating covers 56,58 and terminal support block 36 provide strain relief to the termination.
  • Leg means 72,74 provide means for securing terminating covers 56,58 to terminal support block 36 and thus to connector 10.
  • Complementary shaped leg means 72,74 on inner surface 70 of terminating covers 56,58 respectively are axially aligned with apertures 38 as best seen in Figure 1. Thence, terminating covers 56,58 are moved toward terminal support block 36 in the direction of arrows 84 with legs means 72,74 passing into apertures 38 in an interference fit, thence into aperture means 73,75 in the other terminating cover.
  • conductors 48 are terminated by respective insulation displacing plates 34 in both rows of contacts 16.
  • Leg means 72,74 engage sidewalls of apertures 38 as well as a protrusion 86 on the walls of aperture means 73,75 in the other terminating cover to secure terminating covers 56,58 in the terminated position.
  • Figure 7 shows a series of connectors 10 terminated in a daisy chain configuration on a ribbon cable 46.
  • the connectors are shown without backshells and backshell covers, but could have these features.
  • Figure 8 shows a series of connectors 10 terminated in a daisy chain configuration on a round cable 46.
  • Housing 20 may be secured and partially enclosed in backshell members 88,90.
  • Backshell members 88,90 may be electrically conductive with drawn shell 12 and shielding 49 as well as shielding on cable 46, if present, to provide a common ground therebetween.
  • Backshells 88,90 may be as disclosed in abovementioned Application Serial No. 090,296 having a single cable exit 92 for the cable 46.
  • there may be a dual cable exit 92' for conductors as shown in backshell member 88′,90′ in Figure 8.
  • Strain relief is provided to the conductors proximate the cable exit, such as by strain relief means 94.
