  • This circuit breaker 400 incorporates a set of male pins 420 usually arranged in one direction perpendicular to the plane of the rest of the cut circuit.
  • These male pins can be, as shown in the figure 1, contact blades. In the event that the blades of contact are an integral part of the cut circuit, their orientation is obtained by plastic deformation at the base of the blades, during the circuit folding operation cut out.
  • connection between the cut circuit and the supply circuit is carried out by a device male plug-female plug, the male plug being constituted by the male pins, the female socket 100 being a connector connected to the vehicle harness and comprising holes 110 each corresponding to a male pin.
  • Each pin 400-connector hole 100 provides the specific electrical connection to the order a particular function (reversing, flashing, stop ...), or connection to ground.
  • the female connector 100 once fully plugged in, is fixed to the blade holder 300 by a clip system known per se.
  • the male pins may have deviations from their ideal position of alignment with the orifices of the female connector.
  • a holding device for pins contact of an electrical connector comprising a plate provided with holes, able to slide along the pins.
  • This document has also proposed provide this device with a spring capable of recalling the tray in a position where it cooperates with free ends of contact pins.
  • connection device comprising a spring is tedious to assemble, on the one hand due to a high number of parts, secondly because a spring small dimensions is particularly impractical to manipulate.
  • the main object of the present invention is to propose a connection device to ensure contact pin alignment of a male connector with holes of a female connector when plugging in the device, which includes means for recall of a pin holder in a pin holding position, and which does not have these different drawbacks.
  • the invention proposes a set of male / female electrical connection between a lamp holder and the wiring harness of a motor vehicle, said assembly comprising a plurality of male pins contact integral with the lamp holder and extending in a direction of insertion of a connected female connector to the beam, further comprising an insulating member holding pins with walls between which pins are retained in at least one transverse direction and able to slide in the direction of the pins so as to occupy, before plugging in, a first position in which said organ cooperates with the free end region of the pins to align with holes of the female connector, and able to be moved by said female connector, when plugged in, to a second position, retracted, characterized in that it has at least two oblique flexible tabs arranged on two sides of the holding member and at least two bases attached to the lamp holder, and that the legs flexible slides on the bases while bending when the insertion of the female connector so as to exert on the retaining member a return effort towards the first position.
  • the invention also proposes a lighting or signaling device in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a lamp holder and a connector comprising a plurality of male pins contact, integral with the lamp holder and extending in a plugging direction, further comprising a insulating pin holding member comprising walls between which the pins are retained in at least one transverse direction and able to slide in the direction of the pins so as to occupy, before plugging in with a female connector, a first position in which said organ cooperates with the free end region of the pins to ensure their alignment with the holes of the female connector, and able to be moved by said female connector, when plugging in, to a second position, retracted, this device comprising at least two flexible tabs obliques arranged on two sides of the holding and at least two bases integral with the lamp holder, and the flexible legs sliding on the bases bending when inserting the female connector so as to exert an effort on the holding member recall to the first position.
  • connection device shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4 includes a female connector 100 connected to the electrical harness of the vehicle, a holding part 200 and a lamp holder 300.
  • the female connector 100 is shaped parallelepiped. It has elongated cavities 110, suitable for receiving blades 420 connected to the lamps by through a chopped circuit 400 to which said blades are integrated.
  • the holding part 200 has a cavity parallelepipedic 220 whose dimensions are complementary to those of the female connector 100, so that connector 100 can slide into the cavity 220 to a position where the face 120 is in contact with the bottom 230 of cavity 220.
  • the mouths 115 of the 110 long cavities correspond to the holes 235 of the bottom plate 230 of the part holding 200.
  • Each orifice 235 is intended to receive a blade 420.
  • Each orifice 235 has a length and a width complementary to the transverse dimensions of the blade 420 which corresponds to it.
  • the holes are aligned and the blades are in a plane.
  • the blades may not be arranged in the same plane, the orifices of the maintenance will then have the same layout as the bases blades.
  • Each of the openings 235 has a flare 237 in its lower part. These flares are exposed on the face of the bottom plate 230 facing the circuit cut and are intended to facilitate the implementation initial place of the piece 200.
  • the holding member 200 is provided with two tabs flexible elastic 210 and 212 inclined with respect to the direction of the blades. These flexible legs 210 and 212 each have a transverse recess 211, 213 able to receive a lug 315, 317 arranged on a base 310, 312 integral with the lamp holder 300. According to a variant, this step can be replaced by a hole on the blade. The pins can then have a rounded part capable of sliding on an edge of the orifice, and thus to extract the lug from the orifice when the holding piece slides towards the bulb holder. Each base has two vertical walls 320, 322 and 324, 326 arranged parallel to the direction of extension flexible legs, the spacing of which is complementary the width of the flexible legs.
  • the lamp holder further includes a groove vertical 370 carried by a lateral base 360, suitable for cooperate with a rib 270 placed on a lateral face not carrying flexible legs 210, 212, of the lamp holder 200.
  • a vertical beam 375 is placed on the lamp holder 300, so as to be in contact with the face of the female connector opposite to that carrying the rib.
  • each flexible tab 210, 212 is retained in translation in the axis of symmetry of the device by the pins 315, 317 and is supported on a horizontal edge 330, 340 of the base 310, 312 which corresponds to him.
  • the holding member is therefore retained in the axial direction by the reaction of the pins on the flexible legs, in the direction perpendicular to the plane section of Figure 2 by the vertical walls 320, 322, 324, 326, as well as the lateral base 360 and the beam vertical 375, and in the horizontal direction contained in the section plane of Figure 2 by the action of the groove 370 on rib 270.
  • connection assembly which just described is basically the following:
  • the ends of the blades 420 are housed in the openings 235 of the plate 230 which correspond to them, and are therefore maintained in the alignment position required.
  • the fitter can therefore introduce the connector female in guide device 220 without worrying of the arrangement of the blades 420.
  • each cavity 235 of the bottom plate 230 is extended by the orifice 115 which corresponds to it on the female connector 100.
  • the female connector then drives the organ holding 200 in its movement.
  • the blades 420 pass through the bottom plate 230 and enter the hole matching female connector.
  • the sliding of the connector assembly female / retaining organ continues until the holding member 200 comes into abutment against the lamp holder 300.
  • the flexible legs slide against the bases 310, 312 and flex towards the interior.
  • the movement of the connector assembly female-holding member is guided transversely in the direction perpendicular to the direction of extension of flexible legs 210, 212 by the vertical walls 320, 322, 324, 326, the base 360 and the vertical beam 375, and transversely in the direction of extension of the legs flexible by the sliding of the rib 270 in the throat 370.
  • the elastic stress exerted on the flexible legs in oblique position by the bases 310, 312 results in feedback of the bases on the holding part in the upright vertical direction, so that if the fitter extract the female connector from the blades, the steps previously described occur in reverse order.
  • the holding member guided by the walls vertical, the vertical beam 375, the base 360 and the throat 370 / rib 270 assembly, accompanies the connector female until lugs press on the hooks 211, 213, then the lugs retain the holding member in the position for holding the ends of the blades (figure 2).
  • the female contactor is separated from the holding member.
  • connection assembly is then ready for a new insertion of the female connector.
