Description

CONNECTEUR ELECTRIQUE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
La présente invention concerne un connecteur électrique. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un connecteur électrique du type comportant un bloc en matériau isolant qui comporte une série d'alvéoles cylindriques parallèles débou¬ chants dont chacun reçoit un contact électrique dont le corps de forme générale cylindrique comporte un épaulement radial extérieur qui s'étend en regard d'une surface radiale annulaire d'extrémité qui délimite axialement un tronçon de diamètre réduit de l'alvéole.The present invention relates to an electrical connector. The invention relates more particularly to an electrical connector of the type comprising a block of insulating material which comprises a series of parallel cylindrical cells opening out each of which receives an electrical contact, the generally cylindrical body of which has an external radial shoulder which s extends opposite an annular radial end surface which axially delimits a section of reduced diameter of the cell.
Selon une conception connue, le positionnement et la retenue axiale de chaque contact peuvent être complétés par un second épaulement radial extérieur qui s'étend en regard d'une seconde surface radiale annulaire d'extrémité qui délimite le tronçon de diamètre réduit de l'alvéole.According to a known design, the positioning and the axial retention of each contact can be supplemented by a second external radial shoulder which extends opposite a second annular radial end surface which delimits the section of reduced diameter of the cell .
L'effort de retenue axiale de chaque contact dans son alvéole dépend donc directement des dimensions relatives des épaulements et des diamètres de l'alvéole et du tronçon de diamètre réduit de l'alvéole.The axial retaining force of each contact in its cell therefore directly depends on the relative dimensions of the shoulders and the diameters of the cell and on the reduced diameter section of the cell.
Pour certaines applications, il s'est avéré nécessaire de pouvoir augmenter l'effort de retenue axiale.For certain applications, it has proved necessary to be able to increase the axial retaining force.
Certaines séries de ce type de connecteurs, appelés connecteurs "D. M", correspondent à des cahiers des charges qui imposent de respecter certaines dimensions très précises pour le bloc isolant, et notamment pour les dimensions des alvéoles ainsi que pour les contrats.Certain series of this type of connector, called "D. M" connectors, correspond to specifications which require certain very precise dimensions to be observed for the insulating block, and in particular for the dimensions of the cells as well as for contracts.
L'invention a pour but de proposer une conception perfectionnée d'un connecteur électrique du type mentionné précédemment qui permet d'augmenter l'effort de rétention axiale des contacts sans modifier la conception et les dimensions des alvéoles.The object of the invention is to propose an improved design of an electrical connector of the type mentioned above which makes it possible to increase the retention force. axial of the contacts without modifying the design and the dimensions of the cells.
Dans ce but, l'invention propose un con necteur caractérisé en ce que la partie du corps cylindrique du contact qui est reçue dans le tronçon de diamètre réduit de l'alvéole comporte un collet radial externe qui est monté serré radialement dans le tronçon.To this end, the invention provides a connector characterized in that the part of the cylindrical body of the contact which is received in the section of reduced diameter of the cell comprises an external radial collar which is mounted tightened radially in the section.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention : • - le collet radial est tronconique ; - le bord périphérique du collet comporte des crans d'immobilisation en rotation ;According to other characteristics of the invention: • the radial collar is frustoconical; - The peripheral edge of the collar has rotational immobilization notches;
- le corps cylindrique du contact comporte un second épaulement radial extérieur qui s'étend en regard d'une seconde surface radiale annulaire d'extrémité qui délimite axialement le tronçon de diamètre réduit de l'alvéole.- The cylindrical body of the contact comprises a second external radial shoulder which extends opposite a second annular radial end surface which axially delimits the section of reduced diameter of the cell.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : - La fig ure 1 est une vue en section d'un mode de réalisation d'un connecteur électrique conforme aux enseigne¬ ments de l'invention ;Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings in which: - Fig ure 1 is a section view of a mode of production of an electrical connector in accordance with the teachings of the invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue de détail à plus grande échelle de la partie médiane d'un contact électrique illustré sur la figure 1 ; et- Figure 2 is a detail view on a larger scale of the middle part of an electrical contact illustrated in Figure 1; and
- la figure 3 est une vue de détail et à plus grande échelle de la partie médiane d'un alvéole correspondant.- Figure 3 is a detail view and on a larger scale of the middle part of a corresponding cell.
On a représenté sur la figure 1 un élément de connecteur électrique 10 qui, selon une conception connue, est constitué pour l'essentiel par une coquille métallique en deux parties 12 et 14 et par un bloc en matériau isolant 16 qui est reçu dans la coq uille 1 2. _>There is shown in Figure 1 an electrical connector element 10 which, according to a known design, consists essentially of a metal shell in two parts 12 and 14 and by a block of insulating material 16 which is received in the cock uille 1 2. _>
Le bloc en matériau isolant 16 est délimité par une face transversale avant 18 et par une face transversale arrière 20.The block of insulating material 16 is delimited by a front transverse face 18 and by a rear transverse face 20.
Le bloc en matériau isolant 16 comporte une série d'alvéoles 22 régulièrement répartis, qui sont tous parallèles et débouchent dans les deux faces 18 et 20, et dont chacun reçoit un élément de contact électrique en matériau conducteurThe block of insulating material 16 comprises a series of regularly distributed cells 22, which are all parallel and open into the two faces 18 and 20, and each of which receives an electrical contact element made of conductive material
24.24.
A titre d'exemple, comme cela est illustré sur la figure 1 , chaque contact électrique 24 est un contact mâle en une seule pièce dont l'extrémité libre avant 26 est en forme de broche pour être reçue dans un contact complémentaire femelle (non représenté) dont l'extrémité avant est alors cylindrique creuse, et dont l'extrémité libre arrière 28 comporte par exemple un évidement 30 destiné à recevoir l'extrémité d'un fil conducteur (non représenté) raccordé au contact 24. Dans le cas d'un élément de connecteur comportant des éléments de contact femelles (non représenté), le bloc en matériau isolant 16 et les alvéoles 22 se prolongent dans la partie 14 de la coq uille.By way of example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, each electrical contact 24 is a male contact in one piece, the front free end 26 of which is in the form of a pin to be received in a complementary female contact (not shown ) whose front end is then hollow cylindrical, and whose rear free end 28 comprises for example a recess 30 intended to receive the end of a conductive wire (not shown) connected to the contact 24. In the case of a connector element comprising female contact elements (not shown), the block of insulating material 16 and the cells 22 extend into the part 14 of the cock.
Chaque alvéole 22 est un trou cylindrique 32 d'axe longitudinal X-X de diamètre intérieur DU (voir figure 3) .Each cell 22 is a cylindrical hole 32 with a longitudinal axis X-X with an internal diameter DU (see FIG. 3).
Dans sa partie médiane, située sensiblement à mi- longueur des faces 18 et 20, chaque alvéole 22 comporte un tronçon 36 de diamètre intérieur DI2 inférieur au diamètre DM . Le tronçon 36 est par exemple délimité axialement vers l'arrière par une surface radiale 38 qui se termine, radialement vers l'intérieur, par un chanfrein 40.In its middle part, located substantially mid-length of the faces 18 and 20, each cell 22 has a section 36 of internal diameter DI2 less than the diameter DM. The section 36 is for example delimited axially towards the rear by a radial surface 38 which ends, radially inwards, by a chamfer 40.
Le tronçon 36 est délimité axialement vers l'avant par une surface radiale d'extrémité 42.The section 36 is delimited axially towards the front by a radial end surface 42.
Les surfaces radiales d'extrémité 38 et 42 délimitent ainsi axialement un tronçon 36 de longueur Ll et de diamètre réduit DI2. La forme et les dimensions de chaque alvéole 22 sont des dimensions standardisées.The radial end surfaces 38 and 42 thus axially delimit a section 36 of length L1 and of reduced diameter DI2. The shape and dimensions of each cell 22 are standardized dimensions.
A titre d'exemple, D11 =2,2 mm, DI2=1 ,87 mm et Ll = 1 ,8 mm. On décrira maintenant en détails la partie médiane 44 d'un contact électrique 24, en se reportant notamment à la figure 2.For example, D11 = 2.2 mm, DI2 = 1.87 mm and L1 = 1.8 mm. The middle part 44 of an electrical contact 24 will now be described in detail, with particular reference to FIG. 2.
Cette partie médiane est délimitée par un premier épaulement radial extérieur 46 et par un second épaulement radial extérieur 48, les deux faces transversales en vis-à-visThis middle part is delimited by a first external radial shoulder 46 and by a second external radial shoulder 48, the two transverse faces facing each other.
50 et 52 des épaulements 46 et 48 étant espacées axialement d'une distance LE.50 and 52 of the shoulders 46 and 48 being axially spaced by a distance LE.
Entre les épaulements 46 et 48, le diamètre extérieur DE1 de la partie médiane 44 du contact électrique 24 est égal à 1 ,72 mm, c'est-à-dire que cette partie 44 est reçue radialement avec jeu dans le tronçon 36 de l'alvéole 22.Between the shoulders 46 and 48, the outside diameter DE1 of the middle part 44 of the electrical contact 24 is equal to 1.72 mm, that is to say that this part 44 is received radially with clearance in the section 36 of the socket 22.
L'épaulement 46 est de forme tronconique de manière à faciliter l'insertion du contact 24 dans l'alvéole 22, de la gauche vers la droite en considérant la figure 1 , et son plus grand diamètre extérieur DE2 est tel que : DE2 > DI2.The shoulder 46 is of frustoconical shape so as to facilitate the insertion of the contact 24 into the socket 22, from left to right considering FIG. 1, and its largest outside diameter DE2 is such that: DE2> DI2 .
L'épaulement 48 est un épaulement cylindrique dont le plus grand diamètre extérieur DE4 est égal à 2 mm et donc : DE4 > Dl2. Comme cela est illustré sur la figure 1 , en position montée, chaque contact 24 est ainsi retenu axialement dans un alvéole 22, dans les deux sens, du fait de la coopération de l'épaulement 46 avec la surface 38 - 40 et de la coopération de l'épaulement 48 avec la surface 42. Afin d'augmenter l'effort de retenue axiale de chaque contact 24 dans son alvéole 22, et conformément aux enseignements de l'invention, la partie médiane 44 de chaque contact 24 comporte, situé axialement entre les épaulements 46 et 48 et sensiblement à mi-distance de ceux-ci, un collet radial extérieur 54.The shoulder 48 is a cylindrical shoulder whose largest outside diameter DE4 is equal to 2 mm and therefore: DE4> Dl2. As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the mounted position, each contact 24 is thus retained axially in a socket 22, in both directions, due to the cooperation of the shoulder 46 with the surface 38 - 40 and of the cooperation of the shoulder 48 with the surface 42. In order to increase the axial retention force of each contact 24 in its socket 22, and in accordance with the teachings of the invention, the middle part 44 of each contact 24 comprises, located axially between the shoulders 46 and 48 and substantially midway between them, an external radial collar 54.
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, le collet 54 est un collet tronconique, dont la conicité est orientée dans le même sens q ue celle de l'épaulement 46, pour faciliter l'insertion du contact 24 dans l'alvéole 22, et dont le plus grand diamètre extérieur DE3 est tel que :In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the collar 54 is a frustoconical collar, the conicity of which is oriented in the same direction as that of the shoulder 46, to facilitate the insertion of the contact 24 into the cell 22, and whose largest outside diameter DE3 is such that:
DE3 > DI2. Le diamètre extérieur DE3 du collet 54 est donc supérieur au diamètre intérieur DI2 du tronçon 36 de manière que, en position montée, le collet 54 soit serré radialement à l'intérieur du tronçon 36 de l'alvéole 22.DE3> DI2. The outside diameter DE3 of the collar 54 is therefore greater than the inside diameter DI2 of the section 36 so that, in the mounted position, the collar 54 is tightened radially inside the section 36 of the cell 22.
Plus précisément, les différents diamètres répondent aux conditions suivantes :More specifically, the different diameters meet the following conditions:
DE4 > DE3 3 DE2 > DE1 ;DE4> DE3 3 DE2>DE1;
DE4 < DM ; etDE4 <DM; and
DE2 > DI2.DE2> DI2.
L'effort de retenue ou de rétention axiale d'un contact 24 dans son alvéole 22 est donc augmenté car il résulte de la somme des efforts résistants dus à la coopération de l'un ou l'autre des épaulements 46 ou 48 plus l'effort résultant du montage serré du collet 54 dans le tronçon 36.The retaining or axial retention force of a contact 24 in its socket 22 is therefore increased because it results from the sum of the resistant forces due to the cooperation of one or other of the shoulders 46 or 48 plus the force resulting from the tight mounting of the collar 54 in the section 36.
Afin d'assurer une immobilisation en rotation de l'élément de contact 24 dans son alvéole 22, il est possible de prévoir que le bord périphérique 56 du collet 54 comporte une série de crans 58.In order to ensure immobilization in rotation of the contact element 24 in its cell 22, it is possible to provide that the peripheral edge 56 of the collar 54 includes a series of notches 58.
Chaque contact 24 est monté axialement sans jeu dans l'alvéole 22 car la distance LE, qui est égale à 1 ,7 mm est légèrement inférieure à la distance Ll qui est égale à 1 , 8 mm .Each contact 24 is mounted axially without play in the cell 22 because the distance LE, which is equal to 1.7 mm, is slightly less than the distance L1 which is equal to 1.8 mm.
A titre d'exemple, et pour les dimensions qui ont été indiquées dans la description qui précède, l'agencement d'un collet 54 permet d'obtenir un effort de retenue axiale supérieur à 40 Newton et sensiblement égal à 50 Newton.By way of example, and for the dimensions which have been indicated in the preceding description, the arrangement of a collar 54 makes it possible to obtain an axial retaining force greater than 40 Newton and substantially equal to 50 Newton.
L'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit, ni aux dimensions indiquées. Les sens des conicités des épaulement et collet peuvent notamment être inversés de manière à modifier le sens d'insertion axiale des contacts dans l'isolant et pour modifier le sens des efforts prépondérants en fonction de l'application. The invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described, nor to the dimensions indicated. The directions of taper of the shoulder and collar can in particular be reversed so as to modify the direction of axial insertion of the contacts in the insulator and to modify the direction of the preponderant forces depending on the application.
