Definitions

  • This invention relates to an electrical connector for connecting individual conductors of an electrical cable to a printed circuit board.
  • Electrical connectors having the capability of interconnecting individual conductors to circuit traces of printed circuit boards exist in the electronics industry. These connectors are mounted onto the circuit board having electrical terminals exposed at a lower edge thereof which make electrical contact with the traces on the circuit board. Electrical connectors also have electrical terminals which accept conductors, for example, of a multi-conductor flat or foil cable, in an electrically conducting manner.
  • One electrical connector in particular includes an electrical terminal housing having through passageways for electrical terminals. The housing has a lower face which mounts approximate to the circuit board and an upper face which accepts a multiconductor cable. The electrical terminals are placed in respective passageways within the connector housing with printed circuit board posts extending beyond the lower face, and cable receiving portions of the terminals disposed proximate to the upper face.
  • the housing also includes a camming member which is movable to open the cable receiving portion of the terminal to accept the cable in a zero insertion force fashion. Release of the camming member returns the camming member to an undeflected position and into contact with the cable.
  • EPO Patent No. 385,314 A1 discloses an electrical connector comprising a housing having an upper face and a plurality of conductor receiving openings therein.
  • the upper face of the housing and the openings are fixed relative to a camming member of the electrical connector.
  • the camming member is movable relative to the housing and the upper face whereby, when the camming member is moved to actuate and release the conductor receiving portions of the terminals, the upper face remains fixed relative to the camming member.
  • an electrical connector comprising an insulating housing having a first conductor receiving face with at least one opening profiled for the receipt of a first conductor.
  • the opening is in communication with a terminal receiving cavity having at least one electrical terminal disposed therein.
  • the electrical terminal has two contact arms extending upwardly from a base section which is spring loaded upwardly under the influence of spring means.
  • the spring means causes the two contact arms to be in engagement with sloped surfaces associated with the terminal receiving cavity.
  • the spring biased base section is movable, relative to the terminal receiving cavity, from an upward wire engagement position to a lower wire receiving position.
  • a disadvantage of the above-mentioned connectors is that the electrical terminal in the connectors often become misaligned with the terminal receiving openings, thereby making it difficult to insert the cable in the connector.
  • Another problem with some of the prior art electrical terminals is that they typically had one arm anchored and another arm actuated to move towards and away from the anchored arm so that the flat cable could be inserted therebetween. It was not uncommon for one of the arms to fail to engage the conductor on the flat cable, particularly if the flat cable was not properly positioned between the arms.
  • An object of this invention is to design an electrical connector having means for aligning an electrical terminal in a terminal receiving opening and which has conductive arms which are actuated into pinched engagement with a conductor of a cable.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an electrical terminal which comprises an actuator arm having a pair of contact arms which can be simultaneously actuated into conductive engagement with the conductors of a flat cable.
  • this invention comprises an electrical terminal for use in an electrical connector for connecting at least one conductor from a foil cable to a circuit; said electrical terminal comprising: a base arm; and an actuator arm resiliently coupled to said base arm; said actuator arm comprising a first leg portion, a second leg portion, a third leg portion and a joining portion joining said first, second and third leg portions; said second and third leg portions defining an insertion area for receiving the foil cable; said first and second leg portions defining an actuator area for receiving an actuator; said second leg portion being resilient so that upon inserting said actuator into said insertion area said first and second portions are urged apart and said second and third portions are urged towards each other and into engagement with the at least one conductor of the foil cable.
  • this invention comprises an electrical terminal comprising an end for connecting to the circuit, said electrical terminal also comprising a first set of legs and a second set of legs arranged such that an actuator can actuate said first set of legs, thereby causing said second set of legs to move into pinched conductive engagement with a conductor of the cable.

As shown in Fig. 3, the second end 30b extends beyond the mounting face 16 when the electrical terminal 26 is mounted in the housing 12. As best shown in Figs. 3-5, the base arm 30 has an enlarged section 30c which permits the electrical terminal 26 to be inserted into a terminal receiving passageway 18 and press-fit into the press-fit opening 20.
  • the electrical terminal 26 also comprises an actuator arm 32 which is resiliently coupled to the base arm 30 by a spring section 34.
  • the actuator arm 32 comprises a first leg portion 36, a second leg portion 38, a third leg portion 40 and a joining portion 42 for joining the first, second and third leg portions 36, 38, and 40.
  • the second leg portion 38 is coupled to the joining portion 42 by a second spring section 48 as shown.
  • the second spring section 48 permits the second leg portion 38 to be biased towards and away from the third leg portion 40.
  • the first and second leg portions 36 and 38 define an actuator area 44 for receiving the camming portion 24.
  • the second and third leg portions 38 and 40 define an insertion area 46 for receiving the cable 28.
  • the second and third leg portions 38 and 40 are normally in the open position.
  • the first leg portion 36 has an engaging surface 36a
  • the second leg portion 38 has engaging surfaces 38a and 38b
  • the third leg portion 40 has an engaging surface 40a. The function and operation of the engaging surfaces 36a, 38a, 38b and 40a will be described later herein.
  • the electrical connector 10 also comprises alternatively positioned electrical terminals 50 (Figs. 7 and 8), as mentioned previously herein.
  • Each electrical terminal 50 comprises an actuator arm 51, a base arm 52, a first leg portion 54, a second leg portion 56, a third leg portion 58, a joining portion 60 engaging surfaces 54a, 56a, 56b, and 58a, a spring section 62 and a second spring section 64 which function and operate substantially the same as the first leg portion 36, second leg portion 38, third leg portion 40, joining portion 42, engaging surfaces 36a, 38a, 38b, and 40a, spring section 34, and second spring section 48, respectively, of the electrical terminal 26.
  • the base arm 52 is situated adjacent to a first leg portion 54 of the electrical terminal 50, whereas the base arm 30 of the electrical terminal 26 is located adjacent the third leg portion 40.
  • the base arm 52 of electrical terminal 50 comprises a first end 52a which abuts the upper face 14 when the electrical terminal 50 is mounted in the insulating housing 12.
  • the base arm 52 comprises a solder arm or second end 52b which extends below (as viewed in Fig. 7) the mounting face 16 of the insulating housing 12.
  • the base arm 52 has an enlarged section 52c which can be inserted to secure the electrical terminal 50 in the terminal receiving passageway 18.
  • every other terminal receiving passageway 18 has a press-fit opening 20 located adjacent to the first wall 12a, while the remaining press-fit openings 20 are located adjacent the second wall 12b.
  • the staggered arrangement of press-fit openings 20 permit the electrical terminals 26 and 50 to be arranged so that the second ends 30b and 52b are staggered as best shown in Fig. 1. This staggered arrangement facilitates mounting the electrical connector 20 to the circuit board 11.
  • Each of the electrical terminals 26 are inserted into terminal receiving passageways 18 having the press-fit opening 20 located adjacent to the second wall 12b.
  • the second end 30b of the base arm 30 is guided through the press-fit opening 20 until the enlarged section 30c becomes press-fitted therein.
  • the electrical terminals 50 are mounted in a similar fashion in terminal receiving passageways 18 having the press-fit opening 20 adjacent the first wall 12a. After the electrical terminals 26 and 50 are mounted in the terminal receiving passageways 18, the actuator 22 is slidably mounted on the insulating housing 12 so that the camming portion 24 (Figs. 3 and 7) becomes operatively positioned at the mouth of actuator area 44.

  • the electrical connector 10 functions as a zero-insertion force connector, or ZIF connector as it is commonly called.
  • ZIF connector ZIF connector
  • the electrical connector 10 is positioned so that the second ends 30b and 52b of the base arms 30 and 52, respectively, become aligned with through holes 11a on the printed circuit board 11.

  • a cable 28 is then stripped to expose the conductors 27.
  • the cable 28 may then be urged towards the electrical connector 10 such that the conductors 27 become operatively aligned with the cable receiving area 23 (Fig. 9).

  • the actuator 22 may be moved vertically downward (as viewed in Figs. 3-5). This downward movement of the actuator 22 causes the engaging surfaces 38b and 40a of the second and third leg portions 38 and 40, respectively, to be urged towards each other and into contacting engagement (Fig. 5) with the conductor 27.
  • the second and third leg portions 56 and 58 of the electrical terminals 50 also move into engagement with their associated conductor 27.
  • the electrical connector 10 provides electrical terminals 26 and 50 which are capable of floating in their terminal receiving passageways 18, thereby permitting the electrical terminals 26 and 50 to become aligned in a predetermined location or home position by the actuator 22.
  • the electrical terminals 26 and 50 each comprise means for the actuator 22 to actuate a first set of legs which in turn causes a second set of legs to be actuated into engagement with the conductor 27 of the cable 28.
