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, ledit volet rabattable comporte une face externe opposée à l'élément de contact, un décrochement jouxtant la région charnière, une face interne dirigée vers l'élément de contact et un doigt de verrouillage permettant un verrouillage secondaire. Ledit doigt de verrouillage constitue une butée par rapport à une surface de l'élément de contact qui empêche le déplacement du volet vers la position rabattue, tant que l'élément de contact n'est pas complètement inséré dans le module porte-contact.The subject of the present invention is a contact carrier module for at least one contact element which includes at least one housing for this element of contact, said housing comprising a locking element of said element of contact, and a folding flap hinged to said module around a hinge region and indicating, in a folded position, a locking of the contact element by the locking element, said folding flap has an external face opposite to the contact element, a recess adjoining the hinge region, an internal face directed towards the contact element and a locking finger allowing a secondary locking. Said locking finger constitutes a stop relative to to a surface of the contact element which prevents movement of the flap towards the folded down position until the contact element is fully inserted into the contact carrier module.
Un tel dispositif est connu en particulier du GB-A-2 024 537, un autre dispositif de ce type est connu de la demande de brevet français publiée le 8 Janvier 1993 sous le n°2 678 780 (S.A. FRANCELCO).Such a device is known in particular from GB-A-2 024 537, another device of this type is known from the patent application. French published on January 8, 1993 under n ° 2 678 780 (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 boítier. 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 folding flap is constituted by a finger elastic (Figure 7, item 56) which is folded down so as to immobilize two terminals both when inserting the insulating bodies into a housing. The elastic finger is arranged on a face opposite to that of the latches 50A for immobilizing the element of contact.
Dans le cas d'un contact mal inséré, la fermeture incomplète du volet doit empêcher l'insertion du module dans le boítier 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 boítier 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 module from being inserted into the module holder, but it is located 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 into its module holder 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 subject of the present invention is a contact carrier module which not having the aforementioned drawback.
Dans ce but, le module porte-contact selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que, tant que l'élément de contact n'est pas complètement inséré dans le module porte-contact, le décrochement du volet constitue une butée qui empêche l'insertion du module porte-contact dans un boítier et, en ce que lorsque l'élément de contact est complètement inséré dans le module porte-contact, le volet est déplaçable vers une position rabattue dans laquelle le décrochement n'empêche plus l'insertion du module porte-contact dans un boítier. For this purpose, the contact carrier module according to the invention is characterized in what, as long as the contact element is not completely inserted in the module contact holder, the recess of the flap constitutes a stop which prevents insertion of the contact carrier module in a housing and, in that when the contact element is completely inserted in the contact carrier module, the flap can be moved to a folded position in which the recess no longer prevents the insertion of the contact carrier module in a housing.
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 connects substantially in the middle of a proximal side of the folding 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 can include a plurality of housings for a plurality of contact elements, and a folding flap common to at least some of said housing.
L'invention concerne également un connecteur comportant un boítier porte-module et au moins un module tel que défini ci-dessus, le boítier 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 housing module holder and at least one module as defined above, the module holder box having an upper face having a flat region against which comes block said abutment region when the flap is not in its position folded down.

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 general reference 1 has a
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 boítier 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-carrying case is illustrated in FIGS. 3A to 3C.
Sur la figure 3A, l'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
boítier 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
boítier 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 contact element 1 is incompletely inserted and its
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
boítier 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 Figure 3C, the part
lower 85 of the contact carrier module abuts against the
