  • the first and second coupling portions on the one hand, and the elements of the mass of ground contacts, on the other hand are arranged in such a way that the minimum clearance has is obtained in a position where the first coupling portion is in contact with the second coupling portion, at an end opposite to the intermediate parts, respectively of the plug and of the socket and where the longitudinal axes of the plug and of the base form between them a non-zero angle ⁇ .
  • the plug and the socket constituting a connection assembly according to the invention can only be mounted together and therefore cannot be connected to elements of the neighboring type. with no ground connection.
  • the second mass contact element of the base is a socket whose shape is such that said polarization finger of the standard plug according to the "ARINC 600" standard comes to abut on said socket of the base according to the invention.
  • the plug comprises a cylindrical finger coaxial with a polarization finger of the standard plug, for example according to the "ARINC 600" standard so that the cylindrical finger comes to abut on a polarization eye of a standard base for example according to the "ARINC 600” standard without a ground pin carried by said plug itself coming into abutment on said standard base.
  • the plug may have at least one ground pin, a standard polarization finger and a cylindrical finger and the base may then comprise a ground socket arranged so as to mechanically cooperate with the ground pin, a standard polarization eye arranged so as to mechanically cooperate with said polarizing finger, and a cylindrical opening arranged so as to mechanically cooperate with said cylindrical finger.
  • the plug comprises two first elements of two pairs of ground contacts and a polarization finger
  • the base has two second elements of said pairs of ground contacts arranged so as to cooperate electrically with said first elements and a polarization eye intended to form a mechanical coupling with the polarization finger.
  • a base designated by the general reference 1 is intended to receive a plug designated by the general reference 2.
  • the base 1 comprises a first region comprising two coupling sectors 3 and 3 ′ receiving each of the contact elements male or female 10 housed in insulating bodies, respectively 17 and 18.
  • the base also has a second region comprising electrical supply contacts 41 and 45 housed in an insulating body, respectively at 42 and 47 and whose rear parts , respectively 43 and 46 surrounded by insulation 48 are intended to receive power cables. These supply contacts are housed in a second coupling region 4.
  • the plug 2 comprises coupling sectors 6 and 6 'corresponding respectively to the coupling regions 3 and 3' of the base 1 and which comprise electrical contact elements 20 of the type opposite to the contact elements 10 and which are housed in insulating bodies, respectively 27 and 28.
  • the plug also has a second part comprising electrical supply contacts 71 and 75 housed in a body insulator, respectively at 72 and 77, and the rear parts 73 and 76 of which are intended to receive power supply cables.
  • the first part of the base 1 is delimited by a contour 11 of substantially rectangular shape having in longitudinal section the shape of an elongated U and which surrounds the contacts 10 and which cooperates with a corresponding contour 21 of the plug body 2.
  • the outline 11 and 21 thus form two complementary mechanical coupling portions.
  • the contour 11 and 21 generally participate in electromagnetic shielding.
  • the outline 21 is of the male type and the outline 11 is of the female type.
  • the contours 56 and 87 thus form two complementary mechanical coupling portions which can also participate in electromagnetic shielding.
  • the outline 87 is of the male type and the outline 56 is of the female type.
  • the base 1 comprises between the coupling sector 3 'of the contacts 10 and the coupling sector 4 of the electrical supply contacts, an intermediate region 8 which is intended, in the standard connectors according to the standard "ARINC 600" to perform keying functions.
  • This keying function is carried out by a standard polarization finger 84 placed in the plug 2 and cooperating with a standard polarization eye 55 placed opposite in the base 1.
  • the contours 11 and 56 of the base are part of the same metal base body in which are housed on the one hand the insulating bodies 17 and 18 separated by a wing 16, the electrical power contact elements being housed in openings made in a region 49, the standard polarization eye 55 being formed in a region 59.
  • the plug 2 for which the insulating bodies 27 and 28 are housed in a plug body and are separated by a wing 26, while electrical supply contacts are housed in a region 79, the standard polarization finger 84 being housed, for example crimped, at 86 in a region 89 of the plug body.
  • region 59 also includes a ground contact socket 51 crimped at 53 in region 59 and the rear part 52 of which is intended to receive a ground contact wire referenced 92 in FIG. 2, while the file 2 comprises, in region 89, a ground contact pin 81 crimped at 83 and the rear part 82 of which is intended to be connected to a ground contact wire referenced 93 in FIG. 2.
  • the extreme edges of the contours 11 and 21 are shown in contact with each other respectively at 15 and 25, while the socket 51 and the ground contact pin 81 just come into electrical contact. .
  • the lengths of the pins 81 and of the socket 51 are such that a clearance at least equal to a remains between the closest contacts 10 and 20, while the elements 51 and 81 already provide electrical ground continuity ; which means that it is ensured that in all circumstances, the ground contact is established (or eliminated) while the elements 10 and 20 are not (or no longer) in electrical contact. This characteristic makes it possible to avoid electrical incidents during the connection or disconnection of the plug 2 and the socket 1.
  • the clearance a preferably has a value at least equal to 1.5 mm which corresponds to a standard of insulation in air.
  • the ground connection must, in this case, be certain before the distance between the closest contacts 10 and 20 is less than 1.5 mm.
  • potential differences can appear between the contacts of signal from the plug and socket, which are large enough to damage circuits coupled to the signal contacts. These potential differences can be high enough to produce an electric arc between two signal contacts 10 and 20. This is therefore avoided by ensuring electrical ground continuity before the contacts 10 and 20 are brought together.
  • FIG. 2 represents a set of plug 2 and socket 1 in the connection position, thus allowing ground continuity between the cables 92 and 93 as well as polarization (finger 84).
  • Figures 3a and 3b show more particularly a base 1 and a plug 2 making it possible to obtain a polarization function on the one hand between them and on the other hand with plugs and bases of standard "ARINC 600" but not having of mass contact.
  • the base 1 has a ground contact socket 51, a standard polarization eye 55, and a circular opening 91, these three elements being arranged in a triangle.
  • the plug 2 comprises a ground pin 81 intended to cooperate with the socket 51, a standard polarization finger 84 intended to cooperate with the polarization eye 55 of the base 1 and finally, a cylindrical finger 90 whose diameter corresponds to that of the opening 91 of the base 1.
  • a polarization is obtained between a base according to the invention and a plug standard by the fact that, if an attempt is made to couple a base 1 and a standard plug 200, the hermaphrodite polarization finger 201 comes into abutment with the external edge of the socket 51 hence an impossibility of mounting.
  • the connection is made impossible between a plug 2 according to the invention and a standard base 100 by the fact that the cylindrical polarization finger 90 of the plug 2 cannot penetrate into the polarization eye 155 which makes it face in the standard base 100.
  • the cylindrical polarization finger is longer than the pin 81, the latter does not abut against the standard base 100 and therefore cannot be damaged during the 'surgery.
  • the base 1 has two ground sockets 51 and a polarization eye 155 '
  • the plug 2 has two ground pins 81 arranged opposite the sockets 51 and a polarization finger 90' disposed opposite the polarization eye 155 ′ and having a polarization profile (here in the form of a T) complementary to the latter so as to allow their coupling.
  • the socket 1 cannot be mounted on a standard socket and the socket 2 cannot be mounted on a standard socket.
