Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for connection by insulation displacement contacts.
  • the document EP-A-0.585.179 describes a socket type "modular jack" and integrated connectivity.
  • the modular jack contacts of the front mouth of this jack are taken back on two sets of insulation displacement contacts.
  • the connection of a sheathed telephone wire to the rear of the socket then takes place, without special tools, by closing two respective rotary covers which serve, by driving the wires in their respective passive insulation displacement slots, rotary connection pushers. .
  • the invention aims to remedy this drawback. It relates for this purpose to a method of connection by driving wires in insulation displacement slots, characterized in that it consists in chasing these wires in these receiving slots by means of a connection pusher which cooperates with an elastic element that it tends during the actuation of the pusher and suddenly released at the end of the stroke of this pusher, so as to then cause the brutal shock of two hard bodies, this brutal shock emitting a clearly audible slam and then signaling the installer that the insulation displacement connection is positively performed.
  • this brutal shock is created by the closing of a locking pawl of this pusher at the end of stroke, this pawl being stretched in the open position before release and locking at the moment of its brutal end-of-stroke shock.
  • the audible sound thus produced is of intensity at least equal to 45 decibels A.
  • connection pusher is a rotary pusher of the swinging cap type, which comprises an elastic locking pawl at the end of the stroke, this pawl cooperating with a fixed locking stop snap at the end of travel and this snap stop cooperating with this pawl to create a hard point of passage corresponding to a maximum tension of said pawl and to release suddenly this pawl in locking position against the snap stop immediately after the passage of this hard point, the sudden impact of the pawl against its receiving part then producing said audible snap.
  • said connection pusher is a rotary pusher of the swinging cap type, which comprises an elastic locking pawl at the end of the stroke, this pawl cooperating with a fixed locking stop snap at the end of travel and this snap stop cooperating with this pawl to create a hard point of passage corresponding to a maximum tension of said pawl and to release suddenly this pawl in locking position against the snap stop immediately after the passage of this hard point, the sudden impact of the pawl against its receiving part then producing said audible snap.
  • FIG. 1 shows the rear part of a monopile modular jack.
  • This socket comprises two insulation displacement metal contacts 1, 2 which, in this embodiment, each comprise two insulation displacement slots, as is the case for those described in EP-A-0.585.179 supra.
  • these two insulation displacement metal contacts 1, 2 are each made of two metal thicknesses and are held in the rear plastic body 3 of the socket.
  • these insulation displacement contacts could each consist of a single metal thickness.
  • This plug has, like that according to EP-A-0585179, a rotary connection push-button 4 made of plastic material which is designed as a lid or tilting cap, the rotation of this pusher 4 performed around an axis 5 which is parallel to the row of insulation displacement contacts 1, 2.
  • FIG. 1 clearly distinguishes the two pairs of push blades 61, 62, and 63, 64 which will come to drive, when the tilting bonnet is closed, the wires to be connected in their self-bending slots, respectively metal contact 1 and metal contact 2.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sheathed telephone wire 6 which is put in place in the contact 1, at the inlet of its second insulation displacement slot, and which is therefore ready to be connected by closing the rotary connection pusher 4.
  • the tilting cap, or rotary pusher, 4 comprises a resilient latch 7 locking end of stroke, this pawl 7 cooperating with a fixed stop 8 snap locking end of stroke.
  • This abutment 8 is formed by a protruding beak of plastic, which is part of the body 3 and is obtained by molding therewith.
  • the snap-on abutment 8 cooperates, when the tilting cap 4 is closed, with the elastic pawl 7 to create a corresponding hard point of passage. at a maximum tension of this pawl and, immediately after the passage of this hard point, to suddenly release this pawl 7 against the nose of the abutment 8 while producing a click, or "click", clearly audible which then signals to the editor that the insulation displacement connection of the wire 6 is effectively and positively performed with absolute certainty.
  • Figure 2 shows the tilting cap 4 at the beginning of the closing phase.
  • the elastic pawl 7 just rests, without tension, on the base of the convex ramp 81 which is formed in front of the abutment 8 to receive and gradually push back the elastic ratchet 7.
  • the elasticity of the latter is due to the fact that it is carried by the free end of a tongue 71 of plastic material whose other end is secured to the tilting cap 4.
  • the push blade 62 ( Figure 1 ) has not yet begun its action of driving the wire 6 in its insulation displacement slot receiving the metal contact 1.
  • the positive locking of the cap 4 makes it possible to keep the wire 6 firmly in its connection position, thanks in particular to a short vertical groove 9 for receiving and maintaining the wire 6 which is provided, facing each insulation displacement slot, in the body 3, and a short conjugate rib 10 which is provided on the inner face of the tilting cap 4, to then come close this groove 9 while playing the role of a cover for the latter ..
  • the slam thus produced when the cap 4 is closed is of intensity at least equal to 45 decibels A.
