Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector housing element.
  • Such a device is already known from document US-A-5,199,902.
  • the invention relates to a housing element capable of cooperating with a complementary element as well as a case intended to be housed in a housing element.
  • the invention relates, more particularly, to housing elements having a body of generally parallelepipedal shape having a series of channels intended to each receive a male or female electrical contact member having, at an intermediate point of their length, a portion thinned and a locking key to block said organs in the channels.
  • Such housing elements which are made of molded plastic require the production of very complex and expensive molds.
  • a first object of the invention is to simplify such manufacture.
  • the box element, object of the invention is of the type comprising a body of generally parallelepipedal shape comprising a series of channels intended to each receive an electrical contact member having, at an intermediate point of its length, a part thinned and a locking key for blocking the electrical contact members in the channels, said electrical contact members being intended to receive complementary members engaged by one end of the body, said housing element being characterized in that the locking key is constituted by a U-shaped element having two wings and a core, the first wing inserting into a slot in the body transverse to the channels, while the second wing is guided at the end of the body intended to receive the organs complementary to the organs of electrical contacts, the first wing having holes corresponding to the channels and having a part having dimensions such that they can be crossed by members and a lateral notch corresponding to thinned parts of said members of electrical contacts, while the second wing has a series of openings intended to coincide with the channels for the passage of members complementary, means being provided for wedging the key in a first pre-lock
  • the body comprises a housing intended to receive the core of the locking key when the latter occupies the locking position.
  • the housing element cannot be inserted into an additional element if the key is not completely erased.
  • the body has two lights offset transversely on the body, while the locking key has a projection housed in one of the lights in the pre-locking position and the other in the locking position.
  • the locking key comprises a lug offset longitudinally on the key so as to be located closer to the core than the projection, said lug having, on the side of the projection, a ramp and, on the opposite side, a steep, said lug coming to be housed in the light corresponding to the pre-locking position of the projection.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an electrical connector housing element, according to the invention.
  • FIG 2 is a perspective view of the housing member of Figure 1, the locking key being assumed to be removed.
  • Figure 3 is a front elevational view of the housing member, the key being in the pre-locked position.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along line 5-5 of Figure 4.
  • Figure 6 is a sectional view along line 6-6 of Figure 3.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are enlarged views showing the key respectively in the pre-locking position and in the locking position.
  • Figure 9 shows in elevation an electrical connection member for use with the housing element, according to the invention.
  • the housing element shown in the figures comprises a body 1 of generally parallelepiped shape with two long sides 2 and 3 and two short sides 4 and 5.
  • the body 1 On the side of one end 1 a , the body 1 has a series of channels 7, while on the side of the other end 1 b , said body is terminated by a skirt 8.
  • Each channel 7 is intended to contain an electrical connection member 10 such as that shown in FIG. 9, this member has, at one end, a female part 11 with a clamp 12 intended to grip a male member and, at the other end, crimp tabs 13 intended to enclose a stripped end of a conductor and crimping lugs 14 intended to be crimped onto said conductor.
  • the body 10 has a thinned part 15.
  • the housing element on the side of its end opposite to the skirt 8, has grooves 17 on the internal face of the walls 2 and 3, while in an intermediate part of the body 1, across the channels 7, a slot 18.
  • a housing 20 is formed and in the bottom of the housing, in the vicinity of the wall 2, extends a slot 19 which opens into two slots 22 and 23 formed in wall 2.
  • a locking key 25 is provided and has a U shape to present a core 26 and two wings 27 and 28.
  • the wing 27 is intended to be inserted into the slot 18 and comprises a series of holes 30 intended to coincide, each with a channel 7, each hole 30 having a part 30 a having a shape and a dimension corresponding to those of the female part 11, the members 10 and a notch 30 b having a dimension corresponding to that of the thinned part 15, said notches being offset angularly so that, when the key is engaged, that first the parts 30 a are located opposite the channels 7 and that at the end of insertion, the parts 30 b coincide with said channels 7.
  • the wing 28, along each of its longitudinal edges, has a longitudinal projection 31 intended to cooperate with the corresponding groove 17, openings 33 being formed in said wing 28 and being intended to come into correspondence with channels 7.
  • Each opening 33 has a section corresponding to that of a male member intended to engage in the part 11 of the female members 10, and is flared from the outer side of said wing 28.
  • one of the edges of the wings 27 and 28 is connected by a cheek 34 having a projection 35 and a lug 36 with an inclined ramp 36 a terminated by a steep 36 b .
  • this first position corresponds to a pre-locking in which the parts 30 has holes 30 coincide with the channels 7.
  • the openings 33 are offset relative to the channels 7.
  • the members 10 are placed in the channels 7 so as to abut against the wing 28 (see FIG. 4), then the key 25 is pushed towards the locking position (see FIG. 8) so that the projection 35 comes to be inserted in the light 23.
  • the thinned parts 15 of the members 10 are housed in the notches 30 b , while the openings 33 coincide with the channels 7.
  • the core 25 is inserted into the housing 20 so that the housing element can be engaged in a complementary element or in a support. If the key is not locked, the core 26 remains projecting so that the housing element cannot be put in place.
