Description
- The present invention relates to a static charge removal connector to make an electric connection between two printed circuit boards or other electrical parts.
- Board-to-Board electric connectors have been widely used, and some electric connectors have been equipped with static change removal means to prevent the flow of static electricity from a person handling the connector to its terminals. An example of such a static charge removal connector is shown in US-A- 5,002,495 (=DE-A-40 15 061). The connector in this patent comprises a female receptacle which mates with a male plug. The male plug has a plurality of flat male terminals attached to its housing. The female receptacle has a plurality of terminals corresponding to the male terminals and springs on each end of the plurality of terminals with one end of the spring attached to a printed circuit board and the other end in contact with a hinged metal over. The springs are designed to resiliently contact the inner surface of the metal cover and bias the cover in the open position. The metal cover has hinges on its opposite sides and slots made on its major surface to allow the female terminals to appear above the metal cover only when the cover is in the closed position. Before the male plug is inserted in the female receptacle, the metal cover is in its raised open position, thus protecting all the female terminals between the raised metal cover and the top surface of the housing of the female receptacle.
- In use, a person cannot contact the female receptacle without touching the metal cover, thus permitting discharge of the static electricity from the person's body. This static charge removal connector, however, has a number of defects. First, providing a hinge to the metal cover on the receptacle housing requires manufacturing techniques too complicated to be performed by machine thereby requiring labor intensive manufacturing techniques. Second, the moving parts of the electric connector are liable to be worn by friction, thereby shortening the life of the device. Third, the electric connector in its open position permits the inadvertent touching to the sides of the female terminals by hard objects or dust under the cover, thus causing deformation or contamination of contact surfaces resulting in incomplete electric connections. Fourth, the electric connector does not allow for variations in dimensions in the printed circuit board and or the housings to which the connectors are mounted while still providing electrical contact.
- One object of the present invention is to provide an improved static charge removal connector which requires simple manufacturing techniques by attaching a metal cover to a receptacle housing. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a static charge removal connector equipped with a grounding metal cover, which is simple, stout and durable, guaranteed free of contamination or deformation of female terminals and allowing for minor variations in dimensions which could cause connector mismatch.
- To attain these objects a static charge removal connector according to the present invention is provided comprising a male plug including a male housing having a base, a mount, and at least one male terminal fixed to the mount, and a female receptacle including a female housing having at least one terminal mounting cavity and a flexible female terminal in the cavity. The female housing has a metal cover integrally connected to ground bars and applied to a top surface of the housing where the cover has apertures through which the mount with the male terminal can be inserted. The terminal mount projecting from a floor of the housing of the male plug, and physically dimensioned so as to permit insertion through the aperture in the cover and into a slot in the female housing. The male terminal is fixed to the terminal mount with the contact section of the male terminal laid on the top of the terminal mount, thus permitting the contact section of the male terminal to come into contact with the contact section of the flexible female terminal when the male plug is mated with the female receptacle. The female terminal which is yieldingly deformable remains contained within the slot of the female housing prior to making contact with the counter male terminal.
- According to another aspect of the present invention the female terminal comprises a base section having two ends mounted within the female housing, one end integrally connected to a solder tail section adapted to be connected to a trace on a printed circuit board and the other end integrally connected to a flexible bent section. A flexible arm extending from the other end of the flat contact section supports that other end of the flat contact section. Support of the flat contact section by both the flexible bent section and the flexible arm allows the flat contact section to provide a generally equal force against a mating male terminal across the entire length of flat contact section.
- According to still another aspect of the present invention the metal cover comprises front, rear and opposite side sections to cover corresponding front, rear and opposite side surfaces of the female housing. The opposite side sections have ground pieces integrally connected.
- According to still another aspect of the present invention a plurality of female terminals are contained within slots arranged at regular intervals in staggered relation in said female housing and a plurality of male terminals are arranged in the male housing at the same regular intervals in staggered relation as the intervals of the female terminals.
- When the male plug is mated with the female receptacle, the terminal mounts of the male plug are inserted in the apertures of the receptacle housing until the male terminals come to contact the female terminals in the receptacle housing. The dimensions of the male terminal mounts are smaller than the dimensions of the apertures allowing for a slight mismatch of the terminals due to slight variation in dimensions. The static electricity is discharged from the body of the person handling the connector to the metal cover of the female receptacle. The metal cover is fixed to the receptacle housing to cover its front, rear, opposite, side and top surfaces except for the apertures in the top surface through which insertion of the male terminal mounts and terminals is permitted. The metal cover can be attached to the receptacle housing with ease, and therefore, permitting attachment by machine of metal covers to receptacle housing. The metal cover is stout and durable because it is attached to the receptacle housing and because it has no moving parts. Also, the female terminals which are within and partially protected by the substantially closed housing providing freedom of deformation and contamination.

- Fig. 1 shows schematically a
male plug 21 and a female receptacle 1 of a static charge removal connector according to the present invention before mating with each other. Fig. 2 schematically shows themale plug 21 and the female receptacle 1 when mated together. Themale plug 21 is attached to a printedcircuit board 50 and the female receptacle is attached to another printedboard 40. Figs. 3 to 7 show the female receptacle 1 and Figs. 8 to 15 show themale plug 21 and associatedmale terminals 24. - The female receptacle 1 has a
hollow housing 2 covered with ametal cover 11. Thehousing 2 has afemale terminal mount 3, which has a plurality ofslots 12 in alignment with theapertures 41 made in themetal cover 11.Female terminals 4 are fitted in theseslots 12 of thefemale terminal mount 3. The female terminal comprises asolder tail section 9, abase section 7, abent section 5, ahorizontal section 17, a steep-inclined section 18, a slow-inclined contact section 6, and a bend-and-return section 8 integrally formed in the sequentially consecutive named order. When thecontact section 26 of eachmale plug 21 is brought into contact with the counterfemale terminal 4, thefemale contact 4 will be yieldingly deformed withinslot 12 of thefemale terminal mount 3. The entirefemale terminal 4 is within theslot 12 of thefemale terminal mount 3, leaving nothing exposed. Thetop surface 10 of thehousing 2 is covered bymetal cover 11 except for theapertures 41 in alignment withslots 12, thereby permitting insertion of terminal mounts 23 and themale terminals 24. Thecover 11 is adapted to cover thesurface 10 of thehousing 2, and at the same time to cover the front, rear and opposite sides of thehousing 2. Theopposite sides 14 of themetal cover 11 havehorizontal ground pieces 15 integrally connected thereto. - Referring to Fig. 8 and subsequent drawings, the
male plug 21 has ahousing 22 with aflat base 29 and terminal mounts 23 erected thereon. Eachterminal mount 23 is physically dimensioned so as to fit withinslot 12 in the female receptacle 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the dimension ofterminal mount 23 is smaller than the length of theaperture 41 andslots 12. This allows thecurved contact section 26 of themale terminal 24 to travel along thecontact section 6 of the female terminal and make electrical contact everywhere.Male terminal 24 is fixed to eachterminal mount 23 by fitting edges into grooves within theterminal mount 23 with itscurved contact section 26 laid on the top of theterminal mount 23. - As shown in Fig. 12, a
male terminal 24 consists of a descendingfront extension 30, acurved contact section 26, a descendingrear extension 31 and a horizontal rear extension or asolder tail 27 which are integrally formed together, consecutively in the order named. The descendingfront extension 30 of themale terminal 24 is inserted in thelongitudinal hole 32 in theterminal mount 23 whereas the descendingrear extension 31 is fitted in thegroove 33 in theterminal mount 23. As seen from Fig. 11, attachingpiece 28 are integrally connected to the back surface of thebase 29. - As seen from Fig. 1, all
female terminals 4 are concealed within thereceptacle housing 2, particularly in theslots 12 of thereceptacle housing 2. Thecontact sections 6 of thefemale terminals 4 do not appear beyond the outside surface of themetal cover 11 in the decoupling position of the static charge removal connector. Therefore, thecontact sections 6 of thefemale terminals 4 cannot be deformed or contaminated by inadvertent application of undesired forces. - In the course of transition from the decoupling position of Fig. 1 to the coupling position of Fig. 2, the static electricity, if any, will be discharged from the body of a person handling the static charge removal connector through the
cover 11, thus assuring that such static electricity will not flow in the male or female terminals. As seen from Fig. 2, themale plug 21 is coupled with the female receptacle 1 by inserting the terminal mounts 23 of themale plug 21 through theapertures 41 of thecover 11 and in theslots 12 of thereceptacle housing 2. Eachmale terminal 24 will contact the counterfemale terminal 4 by theircontact section boards female terminals 4 are yieldingly bent at theirbend sections 5 until thetips 42 of the bend-and-return sections 8 have contacted theterminal base section 7 which is just above the upper surface of thebase 16. The force of the bend-and-return section 8 supporting one end of thecontact section 6 and the force of the steepinclined section 18 supporting the other end of thecontact section 6 will ensure thatcontact section 6 will exert an equal upward force opposite themale contact section 26 anywhere alongcontact section 6. This will cause a good contact pressure on each male terminal. Thecontact section 6 of eachfemale terminal 4 will also be placed and maintained in a horizontal position, thus permitting even contact with thecounter contact section 26 of themale terminal 24 at an increased area. - The above description is directed only to a pair of male and female terminals for the sake of simplicity. It should be noted that a plurality of
slots 12 are staggered at regular intervals in thehousing 2 of the female receptacle 1, each having afemale terminal 4 located therein. Accordingly, thecontact sections 6 of thefemale terminals 4 are arranged in staggered relation, as best seen from Fig. 6 and 7, which are cross sections taken along the line 6-6 and line 7-7 in Fig. 4. Likewise, a plurality of terminal mounts 23 are staggered on thebase 29 of themale plug 21, and accordingly themale terminals 24 are staggered.
