Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un module porte-contact pour au moins un élément de contact qui comporte au moins un logement pour cet élément de contact, ledit logement comportant un élément de verrouillage dudit élément de contact, et un volet rabattable articulé audit module autour d'une région de charnière et indiquant, dans une position rabattue, un verrouillage de l'élément de contact par l'élément de verrouillage.The subject of the present invention is a contact carrier module for at least one contact element which comprises at least one housing for this contact element, said housing comprising a locking element for said contact element, and a folding flap hinged to said module around of a hinge region and indicating, in a folded position, a locking of the contact element by the locking element.
Un tel dispositif est connu en particulier de la demande de brevet français publiée le 8 janvier 1993 sous le N°2 518 780 (S.A. FRANCELCO).Such a device is known in particular from the French patent application published on January 8, 1993 under No. 2,518,780 (S.A. FRANCELCO).
Dans cette antériorité, le volet rabattable est constitué par un doigt élastique (figure 7, repère 56) qui est rabattu de façon à immobiliser deux bornes à la fois lors de l'insertion des corps isolants dans un boîtier. Le doigt élastique est disposé sur une face opposée à celle des linguets 50A d'immobilisation de l'élément de contact.In this prior art, the foldable flap consists of an elastic finger (Figure 7, item 56) which is folded so as to immobilize two terminals at the same time when inserting the insulating bodies in a housing. The elastic finger is disposed on a face opposite to that of the latches 50A for immobilizing the contact element.
Dans le cas d'un contact mal inséré, la fermeture incomplète du volet doit empêcher l'insertion du module dans le boîtier porte-module, mais il se trouve qu'en pratique, en raison notamment de problèmes liés à la rigidité des parois des porte-modules et du volet du module, il peut être possible d'insérer un module dans son boîtier porte-module alors qu'un ou plusieurs contacts ne sont pas correctement insérés.In the case of a contact inserted incorrectly, the incomplete closing of the flap must prevent the insertion of the module into the module-carrying case, but it turns out that in practice, in particular due to problems related to the rigidity of the walls of the module holder and module shutter, it may be possible to insert a module in its module holder box when one or more contacts are not correctly inserted.
La présente invention a pour objet un module porte-contact ne présentant pas l'inconvénient précité.The present invention relates to a contact carrier module not having the aforementioned drawback.
Dans ce but, le module porte-contact selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le volet rabattable comporte, sur une face externe opposée à l'élément de contact, un décrochement jouxtant la région de charnière et formant une région de butée.For this purpose, the contact carrier module according to the invention is characterized in that the folding flap comprises, on an external face opposite the contact element, a recess adjoining the hinge region and forming a stop region.
Le volet rabattable comporte, sur une face interne dirigée vers l'élément de contact, un doigt de verrouillage permettant un verrouillage secondaire.The folding flap comprises, on an internal face directed towards the contact element, a locking finger allowing secondary locking.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la région de charnière est une région amincie dont une extrémité distale se raccorde sensiblement au milieu d'une face proximale du volet rabattable.According to a preferred embodiment, the hinge region is a thinned region of which a distal end is connected substantially in the middle of a proximal face of the foldable flap.
Le module peut comporter une pluralité de logements pour une pluralité d'éléments de contact, et un volet rabattable commun à au moins certains desdits logements.The module may include a plurality of housings for a plurality of contact elements, and a folding flap common to at least some of said housings.
L'invention concerne également un connecteur comportant un boîtier porte-module et au moins un module tel que défini ci-dessus, le boîtier porte-module présentant une face supérieure présentant une région plane contre laquelle vient se bloquer ladite région de butée lorsque le volet rabattable n'est pas dans sa position rabattue.The invention also relates to a connector comprising a module-carrying case and at least one module as defined above, the module-carrying case having an upper face having a flat region against which said abutment region is blocked when the flap foldable is not in its folded position.

- FIG. 1, a perspective view of a contact carrier module according to a preferred embodiment of the invention,
- FIG. 2, a top view and in perspective of the contact carrier module according to FIG. 1,
- FIGS. 3A to 3C, a view in vertical section of a connector according to the invention, FIGS. 3A and 3B representing a contact which is not completely inserted, FIG. 3A corresponding to a position separated from the flap, FIG. 3B to an attempt to folding of the shutter, and FIG. 3C representing the connector after complete insertion of the module-carrying case in which the contact elements are correctly inserted.
Selon la figure 1, un module porte-contact désigné par le repère général 10 présente une paroi latérale 14 dans laquelle des éléments de séparation 12 déterminent des logements 11 de forme sensiblement rectangulaire qui sont destinés à recevoir des éléments de contact désignés par le repère général 1. A l'opposé de la paroi latérale 14, se trouve une région 71 de recouvrement partiel des logements 11 sur une partie de leur longueur, cette région 71 se prolongeant d'une part vers le bas par des linguets de verrouillage 73, à raison d'un par logement 11, ces linguets portant chacun un doigt de verrouillage 75, et d'autre part vers le haut par des régions de charnière 76, à raison également d'une par logement 11, ces régions 76 étant plus minces que la région 71 et se raccordant sensiblement au milieu de la base 100 d'un volet rabattable 77 qui présente sur une face interne 78 tournée vers l'élément de contact 1, un ergot 79 servant d'une part à indiquer que l'élément de contact 1 est correctement inséré, et d'autre part de verrouillage secondaire ainsi qu'il sera montré par la suite.According to Figure 1, a contact carrier module designated by the
La base du levier de verrouillage 77 présente selon l'invention une région de butée 80 qui jouxte la région de charnière 76 et qui est dirigée vers l'extérieur du module porte-contact.According to the invention, the base of the
Un élément de contact désigné par le repère général 1 présente une partie avant 2 se terminant par une région d'extrémité 21 et présentant deux faces latérales 24 tournées vers l'élément de séparation 12 et une face latérale 22 tournée vers le volet rabattable 77. Une face arrière 25 sépare la partie avant 22 de la région de détection de verrouillage 3. La région 3 présente une ouverture 32 délimitée par la face arrière 25, la face transversale 31 d'une région intermédiaire 33 et une face avant ou inférieure 42 de la région 4 qui se prolonge vers l'arrière par un élément 5 destiné à recevoir l'extrémité d'un câble 6.A contact element designated by the
La face latérale 22 de la partie avant 2 présente une région de décrochement 23 pour permettre un verrouillage du linguet 73 par l'intermédiaire de son doigt 75. Les logements 11 sont limités à la partie avant du module par une région de butée 85 qui referme partiellement les logements 11 à leur partie inférieure.The
L'insertion d'un contact dans le module porte-contact et du module dans un boîtier porte-module est illustrée aux figures 3A à 3C.The insertion of a contact in the contact carrier module and of the module in a module carrier box is illustrated in FIGS. 3A to 3C.
Sur la figure 3A, I'élément de contact 1 est incomplètement inséré et sa face latérale 22 vient limiter les déplacements du doigt 79 du volet 77. En outre, il est impossible de forcer plus vers le bas l'insertion du module porte-contact dans le boîtier 9 étant donné que le décrochement 80 est situé à l'extérieur du volet par rapport à la zone de raccordement entre la région de charnière 76 et le volet 77. Ce décrochement 80 vient alors en butée contre la face supérieure de la paroi 93 du boîtier 9 provoquant un redressement du volet rabattable 77, redressement que permet la flexibilité de la charnière 76. Ce redressement par pivotement est limité par la présence du doigt 79 qui empêche le décrochement 80 de se dégager de la face supérieure 94 (figure 3B).In FIG. 3A, the
Etant donné que, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le volet rabattable 77 est commun à tous les éléments de contact 1, ce n'est qu'après insertion complète de l'ensemble des éléments de contact 1 du module porte-contact, que le volet rabattable 77 peut être complètement effacé dans l'ouverture 32. Dans cette position, le décrochement 23 est encliqueté dans le doigt 75 du linguet 73.Since, in the embodiment shown, the
En position de montage achevé présenté à la figure 3C, la partie inférieure 85 du module porte-contact vient en butée contre la région de fond 91 du boîtier porte-module 9 et l'élément de contact 1 vient en butée sur la partie supérieure de la région 85 par sa face inférieure 21.In the completed mounting position shown in FIG. 3C, the
