Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a female socket, for example but not exclusively a wall type socket, this socket being of the "modular jack" type and with integrated connectors and for example intended for telephone or computer applications.
  • the “modular-jack” female sockets with integrated connectors which are currently marketed by the Applicant for telephone or computer applications, for example for the Digital Network with Service Integration, comprise, behind the “modular jack” female mouth proper but integrating with the whole, a small strip of wire connection with eight conventional self-stripping contacts. This strip is carried by a small printed circuit which makes the connection between the terminals of this "modular jack” input mouth proper and this small connection strip with self-stripping contacts.
  • At least some of these self-stripping contacts are double contacts fitted with two self-stripping slots instead of only one, and therefore capable of receiving two wires side by side.
  • each of these half-caps comprises a cover capable of being closed by turning around an axis, this rotary cover being shaped to come, when it is closed by rotation, to expel in the insulation-displacement slots the wires previously "combed” in these.
  • each lateral face of said hollow body a longitudinal groove for the passage of the two elastic branches of a conductive jumper in "lying U" shape, this jumper being embedded in these grooves so that one can there pinch, from the rear of the socket and on each side of said body, a respective drain wire.
  • a female socket 1 of the "modular-jack" type which is designed to receive a male plug 2, also of the modular-jack type and comprising in this example a screen or mass shielding 23.
  • This socket 1 comprises a front female mouth 3 complementary to the plug 2 and provided for molding in a plastic body 4 which is also provided with a rear opening 5 forming a rectangular window placed just above the upper level of the mouth 3.
  • these grooves 7 widen towards the rear so as to be, on the rear part 6C of this upper face, again parallel but then much more spaced one of the 'other.
  • FIG. 2 On this rear face 6D are therefore positioned (FIG. 2) four long elastic contacts 9C and four short elastic contacts 9B, each of these corresponding respectively to one of the eight front contacts 9A mentioned above (FIG. 3).
  • the flexible rear contact branches, short 9A and long 9C, are pressed against a total of eight self-stripping flat metal contacts 10, each comprising two self-stripping slots 11A and 11B (FIG. 2).
  • the body 4 is moreover provided, on either side, respectively of two lateral and longitudinal median grooves 16, 17 which receive the two elastic free branches 18, 19 of a metal jumper 20, in the general shape of a "lying U" ", which plugs in from the front of the body 4.
  • These branches have their free ends curved at about 170 degrees, along 18A and 19A, inside the mouth 3 to ensure electrical contact of ground continuity with the screen 23 of the plug 2.
  • the jumper 20 is used to ensure screen continuity in cooperation with ground wires, or "drain wires", which are to be connected to the rear of the socket 1. It is thus possible to connect two separate drain wires : for example an arrival thread and a departure thread.
  • a drain wire 31 (FIG. 4) can be connected on one side of the socket and another on the other side: it suffices to strip, if necessary, the end of the wire and insert it, and therefore the pinch, between one of the branches 18, 19 of the jumper 20 and the insulating body 4 (FIG. 4).
  • FIG. 1A Another advantageous feature of this modular-jack wall socket concerns a key 21 (Figures 1 and 1A), which is a small rotary lug, in itself known but normally mounted, for the socket of the aforementioned prior art, on the front plate of this socket. This is not the case here, because this key 21 is rotatably mounted around an axis 22 directly integral with the body 4 of the socket 1.
  • This key 21 is intended to either leave free (Figure 1A) or veil (Figure 1) the small lateral female protuberance 24 which is, in itself very conventional, provided on the mouth 3 in order to be able to differentiate the sheets 2 provided for the telephony, and then comprising no additional male protuberance, and those provided for data processing which specifically comprise such lateral male protuberance.
  • the mouth 3 of the socket 1 we pass from a first configuration (FIG. 1) to the other by turning the key 21 a quarter turn around its axis 22.
  • the key 21 is part of the socket 1 itself and not of a faceplate, makes this socket particularly convenient to implant.
  • this socket 1 a special faceplate. As shown in Figure 3, this socket is fixed, thanks to transverse grooves, upper 25 and lower 26, provided in the body 4 for this purpose, by clipping into any orifice of a plate 27 previously pierced to dimensions.
  • This plate can be any: sheet metal plate, front plate of a box, etc ...
  • FIGS. 5 to 7 show in more detail one of the self-stripping flat metal contacts 10 which are used on the socket 1 which has just been described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the contacts 10 which are shown in FIG. 2 each have a lower notch, right or left as the case may be, which is cut afterwards for a practical mounting role and which has not been shown in FIGS. 5 to 7.
  • the classic self-stripping flat metal contacts are made from a single layer of metallic material. They must therefore be provided with a certain width to ensure good mechanical strength, which is disadvantageous from the point of view of compactness. Furthermore, there always arises, for this type of flat self-stripping contact, the problem of ensuring a sufficient retention force of the wire in the contact when a directed force is exerted, after self-stripping connection of the wire. parallel to the longitudinal axis of the self-stripping slot.
  • the flat metal contact according to FIGS. 5 to 7, which in this example comprises two self-stripping slots 11A and 11B but which could also have only one, is composed of two superimposed metal layers 40A and 40B which are entirely simply made from a section of a single metal strip 40 which is folded back on itself on the short side 41 which is opposite to the self-stripping slots 11A, 11B.
  • connection surface between the metallic core of the wire and the contact which is at least equal, if not greater, to the section of this metallic core: this ensures a high retention force of this wire in the contact when a directed force is exerted parallel to the axis of the self-stripping slot.
  • this double thickness 40A, 40B of metallic material has these undeniable advantages in contact resistance and wire resistance, it a priori increases in a penalizing manner the force necessary for the insertion of the conductor in the connection slot itself 42A , 42B of the wire.
  • a strike is made in a single area 40B of the two aforementioned two metal layers 40A, 40B in the input area 43 of the connection slot 42A proper of the wire.
  • the metal layer 40B is thus thinned, elongated in the direction of the entrance to the slot 11A or 11B, and furnished with a chamfer in thickness 44 which gives it an edge or leading edge 45 finally cut in bevel.
  • this contact 10 comprises, very conventionally, a tab 47 for retaining in the plastic body which receives it.
  • zone "a” is used during the operations preliminary to this connection: in order to facilitate the connection operations, it is advantageous to allow the operator to present his wire facing the contact and ensuring that it is held there in position.
  • This first part “a” of the slot 11A or 11B then serves to pinch the wire before its introduction into the self-stripping part proper "b".
  • this socket female modular-jack is on the contrary likely to be produced according to many variants possibly using various equivalent means, and the self-stripping metal contact according to FIGS. 5 to 7 could just as easily be fitted to other products than this socket. female modular-jack.
