Description
La présente invention concerne un connecteur blindé, miniature, à tiges de contact coudées et électriquement isolées par rapport au blindage.The present invention relates to a shielded, miniature connector, with angled contact rods and electrically insulated with respect to the shielding.
L'invention vise également le procédé de fabrication du connecteur ci-dessus.The invention also relates to the method for manufacturing the above connector.
Ce type de connecteur comprend des picots faisant saillie de l'une de ses faces, destinés à être fixés par exemple par soudage à un circuit imprimé. D'une face située à angle droit par rapport à la face ci-dessus, font saillie des douilles de blindage entourant coaxialement des embouts de contact femelles reliés aux tiges de contact coudées.This type of connector includes pins projecting from one of its faces, intended to be fixed for example by welding to a printed circuit. On one side located at right angles to the above side, shield sockets protrude coaxially surrounding female contact tips connected to the bent contact rods.
De tels connecteurs doivent présenter un encombrement le plus réduit possible, leurs tiges de contact coudées étant ainsi très rapprochées les unes les autres, tout en étant parfaitement isolées électriquement et efficacement blindées.Such connectors must have the smallest possible footprint, their bent contact rods thus being very close to each other, while being perfectly electrically insulated and effectively shielded.

A l'exception du DE-B-4 438 872, tous les documents ci-dessus décrivent des connecteurs dans lesquels une parfaite continuité du blindage est réalisée entre les tiges de contact.With the exception of DE-B-4 438 872, all the above documents describe connectors in which a perfect continuity of the shielding is achieved between the contact rods.
Dans le cas du DE-B-4 438 872 le blindage n'est pas continu entre les tiges de contact. Cependant, il existe entre les tiges de contact des espaces vides qui augmentent l'encombrement du connecteur.In the case of DE-B-4 438 872 the shielding is not continuous between the contact rods. However, there are empty spaces between the contact rods which increase the size of the connector.
Par ailleurs, les connecteurs illustrés par l'art antérieur ci-dessus sont dans l'ensemble de fabrication relativement coûteuse.Furthermore, the connectors illustrated by the above prior art are generally relatively expensive to manufacture.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des connecteurs connus, en créant un connecteur d'encombrement réduit, de fabrication peu coûteuse et dans lequel les tiges de contact sont parfaitement isolées et blindées les unes des autres.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of known connectors, by creating a compact connector, inexpensive to manufacture and in which the contact rods are perfectly insulated and shielded from one another.
L'invention vise ainsi un connecteur comprenant une série de tiges de contact métalliques espacées et coudées, noyées dans une matière électriquement isolante qui est elle-même entourée par un blindage métalliqueThe invention thus relates to a connector comprising a series of spaced and bent metal contact rods, embedded in an electrically insulating material which is itself surrounded by a metal shield
Suivant l'invention ce connecteur est caractérisé en ce que la matière électriquement isolante est surmoulée autour des tiges de contact, en ce que le blindage est constitué par deux blocs métalliques superposés comportant sur leurs faces en contact des canaux coudés recevant les tiges de contact entourées par la matière électriquement isolante, ces canaux étant conformés de telle sorte que le blindage soit interrompu dans une partie rectiligne du coude formé par les canaux, cette interruption de blindage mettant en contact la matière isolante entourant les tiges de contact, sans créer aucun espace vide dans les zones où le blindage est interrompu.According to the invention this connector is characterized in that the electrically insulating material is overmolded around the contact rods, in that the shielding consists of two superimposed metal blocks comprising on their contacting surfaces bent channels receiving the contact rods surrounded by the electrically insulating material, these channels being shaped so that the shielding is interrupted in a rectilinear part of the elbow formed by the channels, this shielding interruption bringing the insulating material surrounding the contact rods into contact, without creating any empty space in areas where the shielding is interrupted.
Les essais ont montré que l'interruption de blindage entre les tiges de contact coudées n'avait aucune incidence néfaste à l'égard de la qualité globale du blindage.Tests have shown that the interruption of shielding between the bent contact rods had no adverse effect on the overall quality of the shielding.
Cette interruption de blindage et l'absence d'espaces vides entre les tiges de contact permettent de réduire l'encombrement du connecteur.This interruption in shielding and the absence of empty spaces between the contact rods makes it possible to reduce the size of the connector.
De plus, du fait que le blindage soit constitué d'un nombre de pièces réduit à deux blocs et que la matière isolante soit surmoulée sur les tiges de contact, la fabrication du connecteur est à la fois simple et peu coûteuse.In addition, since the shielding is made up of a number of parts reduced to two blocks and the insulating material is overmolded on the contact rods, the manufacture of the connector is both simple and inexpensive.
Suivant l'invention, le procédé de fabrication du connecteur conforme à l'invention comprend les étapes suivantes :
- on réalise les tiges de contact par découpage de celles-ci dans une tôle métallique, ce découpage laissant en place des entretoises de liaison entre les tiges près des extrémités de celles-ci,
- on surmoule autour des tiges de contact une matière isolante,
- on découpe l'entretoise de liaison située près de l'une des extrémités des tiges de contact,
- on met en place l'ensemble ainsi obtenu dans les canaux de l'un des blocs de blindage,
- on place au-dessus du bloc de blindage comportant l'ensemble ci-dessus, l'autre bloc de blindage, de façon que ses canaux recouvrent la matière isolante des tiges de contact,
- on met en place les douilles de blindage dans les conduits de l'un des blocs et,
- on découpe l'autre entretoise de liaison.
- the contact rods are produced by cutting them out of a metal sheet, this cutting leaving in place connecting spacers between the rods near the ends thereof,
- an insulating material is molded around the contact rods,
- the connecting spacer is cut located near one of the ends of the contact rods,
- the assembly thus obtained is put into place in the channels of one of the shielding blocks,
- the other shielding block is placed above the shielding block comprising the above assembly, so that its channels cover the insulating material of the contact rods,
- the shielding sockets are placed in the conduits of one of the blocks and,
- the other connecting spacer is cut.

Dans la réalisation des figures 1 à 5, le connecteur selon l'invention comprend une série de tiges de contact 1 métalliques, espacées et coudées, noyées dans une matière électriquement isolante 2 qui est elle-même entourée par un blindage métallique 3.In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 5, the connector according to the invention comprises a series of
Conformément à l'invention, la matière électriquement isolante 2 est surmoulée autour des tiges de contact 1, le blindage 3 est constitué par deux blocs métalliques 4a, 4b, superposés, comportant sur leurs faces en contact des canaux coudés 5a, 5b, 5c; 6a, 6b, 6c recevant les tiges de contact 1 entourées par la matière électriquement isolante. Ces canaux 5a, 5b, 5c; 6a, 6b, 6c sont conformés de telle sorte que le blindage soit interrompu dans une partie rectiligne 7a, 7b, (voir représentation en pointillés sur la figure 1) du-coude formé par les canaux 5a, 5b, 5c; 6a, 6b, 6c.According to the invention, the electrically insulating
Cette interruption de blindage 7a, 7b met en contact la matière isolante 2 entourant les tiges de contact 1 sans créer aucun espace vide dans la zone où le blindage est interrompu.This interruption of shielding 7a, 7b brings the insulating
De préférence, les deux blocs métalliques 4a, 4b du blindage 3 sont moulés.Preferably, the two
Comme montré par les figures 2 à 5, les faces en contact 8a, 8b des deux blocs de blindage 4a, 4b sont planes.As shown in Figures 2 to 5, the contacting
Comme montré par la figure 4, chaque canal 5a, 5b, 5c; 6a, 6b, 6c, formé dans l'un des blocs 4a, 4b forme avec le canal adjacent de l'autre bloc, un conduit de section circulaire qui entoure la matière isolante et les tiges de contact 1.As shown in Figure 4, each
On voit sur la figure 1 que le blindage 2 entoure complètement la matière isolante 2 dans une partie du coude, (celle qui est horizontale sur la figure 1,) formé par les canaux 5a, 5b, 5c; 6a, 6b, 6c. Les parties 9a, 9b; 10a, 10b du blindage comprises entre deux tiges de contact adjacentes entourées par la matière isolante 2, sont séparées par un creux 12a, 12b.It can be seen in FIG. 1 that the
Comme montré sur la figure 2, le creux 12a, 12b s'étend sur la totalité de la longueur des parties 9a, 9b; 10a, 10b de blindage et est ouvert à chacune de ses extrémités.As shown in Figure 2, the
Par ailleurs, les creux 12a, 12b comportent chacun un trou 13a, 13b pour le passage d'une vis d'assemblage des deux blocs de blindage 4a, 4b.Furthermore, the
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1 à 5, les deux blocs de blindage 4a, 4b, sont sensiblement parallélépidédiques et les canaux 5a, 5b, 5c; 6a, 6b, 6c formés dans ceux-ci,débouchent de deux faces latérales adjacentes 14, 15 situées à angle droit l'un de l'autre.In the example shown in Figures 1 to 5, the two
On voit sur la figure 10, que l'un 4a des blocs de blindage comprend le long de l'une de ses faces latérales, une protubérance 16 définissant un épaulement 17 perpendiculaire au plan P d'assemblage des deux blocs 4a, 4b. Contre cet épaulement 17, vient s'appuyer l'autre bloc 4b et les canaux 5a, 5b, 5c; 6a, 6b, 6c, formés dans les blocs 4a, 4b débouchent à l'extérieur de la protubérance 16 par des conduits circulaires 18a, 18b, 18c.It can be seen in FIG. 10 that one of the
On voit, d'autre part, sur les figures 2 et 10, que la matière isolante 2 surmoulée autour des tiges de contact 1 fait saillie hors des conduits circulaires 18a, 18b, 18c et est entourée pour chaque tige de contact 1 par une douille de blindage 19 (voir également les figures 11 et 12). Ces douilles 19 sont enfoncées dans les conduits circulaires 18a, 18b, 18c, de façon à être en contact avec le blindage 3 des blocs 4a, 4b.We see, on the other hand, in Figures 2 and 10, that the insulating

Dans une première étape (voir figure 6), on réalise les tiges de contact 1 coudées par découpage de celles-ci dans une tôle métallique. Ce découpage laisse en place des entretoises 20, 21 de liaison entre les tiges 1 près des extrémités de celles-ci.In a first step (see Figure 6), the
Dans la deuxième étape illustrée par la figure 7, on fixe sur les extrémités libres des tiges de contact, des embouts de contact femelles 22.In the second step illustrated in FIG. 7, female contact ends 22 are fixed on the free ends of the contact rods.
