Definitions

  • connection assembly of the type having at least two superposed connection elements, respectively upper and lower, each having a housing, a central insulating body housed in the housing, and a plurality of elbow contacts arranged in the body. central insulator as well as overlapping elements to maintain the two connection elements in a given nominal overlapping position.
  • connection assembly of the aforementioned type is known from United States patent US Pat. No. 5,167,531, in which the two superimposed connection elements are housed in a molded metal body, the front face of which has openings receiving rectangular profiles before the elements. of connection.
  • the metal body has side walls which serve in particular as a means of retaining the shielding box inserted vertically.
  • connection assembly makes it possible to produce a fully assembled connection assembly.
  • the spacing between the two superimposed connection elements is determined by the housings on the front face of the molded metal housing.
  • connection assembly which allows the production of sub-assemblies, in particular modular, but which has a simple structure and which also requires only a minimum of modifications of the connection elements to achieve the desired result.
  • connection assembly having at least two superposed connection elements, respectively upper and lower, each having a housing, an insulating central body housed in the housing, and a plurality of elbow contacts arranged in the insulating central body thus as overlapping elements for holding the two connection elements in a given nominal superposition position, characterized in that the overlapping elements consist of plates comprising an upper part comprising at least a first holding element integral with the element upper connection by force insertion and a lower part comprising at least a second holding element integral with the lower connection element by force insertion.
  • the first element for holding at least one plate may advantageously have a lug inserted by force into a corresponding opening in the housing of the upper connection element.
  • the upper part of at least one plate may advantageously have a first region in abutment on an edge of the housing of the upper connection element.
  • the lower part of at least one plate may have a second region in abutment on an edge of the housing of the lower connection element.
  • the first region forms a stop in the direction horizontal while the second region forms a stop at least in the vertical direction. This ensures overall rigidity while allowing easy mounting of the plates by force insertion.
  • the second element for holding at least one plate may have a second lug inserted by force into an opening in the housing of the lower connection element.
  • the lower part of at least one plate may have a third retaining element having a retaining end extending beyond a lower face of the housing of the lower connection element so as to allow fixing through a opening of a support.
  • the holding member can pass through the opening of the housing of the lower connecting member.
  • Said support is advantageously a printed circuit to which at least some of said bent contacts are electrically connected.
  • the invention also relates to a superimposing element for a connection assembly of the type having at least two superposed connection elements, respectively upper and lower, characterized in that it comprises a plate having an upper part comprising at least a first holding element. capable of being secured to said upper connection element by force insertion, and a lower part comprising at least a second holding element capable of being secured to said lower connection element by force insertion.
  • connection elements referenced 1 and 2 are superimposed, the element 1 having a housing 28 having a front part 32, and in which is arranged an insulating body 11 in the openings of which are arranged contacts of the female type 50 which extend backwards firstly by a longitudinal region 51, a region inclined at 45 ° 52 and a termination region 53 perpendicular to the region 51 which is extended by contact ends 56 intended to be snapped into openings 72 of a printed circuit 70, possibly through a retaining plate 71.
  • the lower connection element 2 likewise has a housing 28 in which an insulating body 11 is arranged, the opening 16 in which are arranged contacts 50, here of the female type, which extend towards the rear first by a longitudinal region 54, then by a region 55 bent at 90 ° by relative to the region 54 extending by contact terminations 56 intended to be snapped into openings 72 of a printed circuit 70.
  • connection element 1 and 2 are shown with the contacts removed
  • the insulating central body 11 is held in position by a ramp 5 forming a stop for the beam-shaped end region 5 ′ of the insulating body 11.
  • the front part of the connection element has, at its longitudinal ends, extensions 26 which snap into place 27 in a front plate, not shown, which has an opening for receiving the rectangular front part 32 'of the housing 28.
  • connection elements 1 and 2 At the rear of the connection elements 1 and 2, and at the longitudinal ends of the housing 28, are arranged two regions forming a trihedron 22, 24, 25.
  • the innermost wall of this trihedron is vertical and is referenced 22. It carries the ramp 5 as well as two U-shaped openings 23, one upper and the other lower, arranged near the rear of the wall 22.
  • the horizontal wall 24 of the trihedron has, on the one hand an opening 24 ', on the other hand an opening 30, located between the opening 24 'and the vertical wall 25 of the trihedron, and finally, a vertical slot 39 disposed at the rear of the wall 24.
  • the slot and the opening 24' and 30 advantageously have a common axis.
  • the vertical wall 25 of the trihedron has a circular opening 25 '. Note that the openings 24 'and 25' already exist in connectors of this type.
  • the elements 1 and 2 are held in their superposition position by two plates 40 which are substantially planar and each disposed at a longitudinal end of the housings 28.
  • Each of the plates thus has at one end upper 47, on the one hand, an extension 33 capable of being force-fitted through the lower part of the hole 30 of the trihedral wall 24 and a rear extension 42 coming to be forced into the bottom 43 of a vertical groove 39.
  • the plate is also positioned on the one hand by the finger or lug 31 inserted by force into the opening 30, and by the extension 29 inserted by force in a vertical groove 39 making it possible to form a stop in the lateral direction .
  • an extension 46 can come to bear on the upper part of the housing 28, and in particular it can be housed in a groove 146 making it possible to form a stop in the lateral direction.
  • the plate 40 makes it possible not only to maintain a vertical distance between the elements 1 and 2, but also to position them in the other directions while giving the mounting a modular subset character.
  • the housing 28 of the connector is held vertically on the one hand due to the fact that, its lug 33 being force fitted into the opening 30, the upper edge 41 of the plate runs along the lower face of the portion of trihedron 24, d 'other hand in a front-rear position by the fact that the housing 28 is caught between the extension or lug 33 and the extension 42, and finally, angularly in a horizontal plane due to the presence of the two grooves 39 and the two grooves 146 which imprison the extensions 29 and 42.
  • the plate also comprises elements 62 forming an elastic harpoon which is inserted into the printed circuit 70 by crossing on the one hand the openings 24 ′ of the housing 28 of the element 2 and the openings 72 of the printed circuit 70.
  • the assembly After introduction of the harpoons 62 into the openings 72 of the printed circuit, the assembly is locked in position by snap-fastening of the recesses 73 of said harpoons.
  • the lower part 48 of the plate 40 has an extension 49 which abuts against the upper face of the printed circuit 70 at the same level as the lower face 65 of the housing 28 of the element 2.
  • the plate 40 has an inclined part 45 extending from the extension 42 to the rear harpoon 60.
  • This part 45 can be used to accommodate, for example in grooves, a cover extending over the entire length of the connector.
  • the plate 40 can be earthed, which allows at least partial shielding of the connection assembly.
