Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric connector and in particular to an electric connector fittable in an assembly direction inside a receptacle of a complementary connector.
  • Connectors of the above type comprise an insulating casing defining a number of cavities having respective axes parallel to the assembly direction and for housing respective electric terminals, which are connected to respective electric cables and retained inside the cavities by primary retaining means.
  • Connectors of this sort also comprise a secondary retaining device normally defined by a movable member, which is fitted frontally to the casing in a preassembly position partially engaging a hollow front portion of the casing and therefore projecting frontwards from the casing, and is movable, in the assembly direction, between the preassembly position and a closed position closing the hollow front portion of the casing and cooperating with the primary retaining means to determine correct engagement, and prevent release, of the terminals by the primary retaining means.
  • a secondary retaining device normally defined by a movable member, which is fitted frontally to the casing in a preassembly position partially engaging a hollow front portion of the casing and therefore projecting frontwards from the casing, and is movable, in the assembly direction, between the preassembly position and a closed position closing the hollow front portion of the casing and cooperating with the primary retaining means to determine correct engagement, and prevent release, of the terminals by the primary retaining means.
  • the movable member can only be moved into the closed position on the casing when all the terminals are correctly inserted and retained inside the respective cavities by the primary retaining means, which normally comprise an elastically deformable lance forming part of the casing.
  • the primary retaining means remain deformed, thus preventing the movable member from being fitted fully and into the closed position inside the hollow front portion of the casing, and so preventing complete connection of the connector inside the receptacle of the complementary connector.
  • the connector described above can still be inserted inside the receptacle of the complementary connector and may therefore be forced into the complementary connector despite the movable member interfering with the primary retaining means, thus resulting, for example, in breakage or deformation of the contacting parts.
  • the misinserted terminal may go undetected when tested, by being so positioned, for example, as to determine, in use, some measure of electric contact, albeit precarious, but which, in applications in which the connector is subjected to vibration, as on a vehicle, is bound to fail eventually, with the obvious consequences this entails.
  • a connector for a printed-circuit board which comprises a casing having a number of parallel receiving chambers; an elastic member housed inside each chamber to retain the printed-circuit terminals; and a press-on insertion member which clicks onto the front of the casing into a closed position to keep the terminals in a fixed position.
  • the insertion member comprises a number of wedges, each for engaging a respective receiving chamber; and a pair of flexible U-shaped members located on opposite sides of the wedges, having parallel arms, and which click inside respective seats on the casing by means of respective teeth.
  • an electric connector comprising:
  • Number 1 in Figures 1 to 4 indicates as a whole an electric connector in accordance with the present invention.
  • connector 1 is a "female-holder” connector fittable in an assembly direction A ( Figures 2 and 3) inside a receptacle of a complementary "male-holder” connector (not shown).
  • Connector 1 comprises a box-shaped insulating casing 3, which defines a number of longitudinal cavities 4 having respective axes parallel to direction A and for receiving respective female electric terminals 5 connected to respective electric cables 6 and retained inside cavities 4 by known primary retaining means described later on.
  • casing 3 comprises a parallelepiped main portion 7; and a parallelepiped secondary portion 8 projecting from a lateral wall 9 of portion 7 and extending along an intermediate longitudinal strip of wall 9. More specifically, casing 3 defines four cavities 4, three of which are formed in portion 7 and aligned in a transverse row, while the fourth cavity is formed in portion 8 and located alongside an intermediate cavity in said transverse row.
  • each terminal 5 comprises a box-shaped front contact portion 12, which has a retaining seat 13 for the primary retaining means and is connected to a corresponding male terminal (not shown) of the complementary connector; and a rear portion 14 for connection to respective electric cable 6.
  • Each terminal 5 is inserted inside respective cavity 4 through a rear opening 15 of cavity 4, formed in a substantially T-shaped rear wall 16 of casing 3, and is positioned with contact portion 12 facing a front opening 17 of cavity 4, formed in a substantially T-shaped front wall 18 opposite wall 16.
  • cables 6 extend out of casing 3 through respective openings 15.
  • the primary retaining means comprise, for each terminal 5, a first and second elastic lance 20, 21 projecting on opposite sides inside respective cavity 4 and in direction A towards front opening 17. More specifically, lances 20 project from wall 9; lances 21 housed in cavities 4 of portion 7 of casing 3 project from a wall 22 of portion 7 opposite and parallel to wall 9; and the lance 21 housed in cavity 4 of portion 8 of casing 3 projects from a wall 23 of portion 8 also opposite and parallel to wall 9. Walls 22, 23 of respective portions 7 and 8 of casing 3 define, at lances 21, respective rectangular end openings 24 communicating with corresponding cavities 4.
  • each lance 20, 21 facing inwards of respective cavity 4 has a tooth 28 with a substantially right-trapezium-shaped profile and which clicks inside retaining seat 13 of relative terminal 5.
  • teeth 28 of each pair of lances 20, 21 permit insertion of relative terminal 5, which, sliding along respective oblique sides of teeth 28 facing opening 15, elastically deforms lance 20 towards wall 9 and lance 21 inwards of respective opening 24; and, once terminal 5 is inserted fully inside respective cavity 4 ( Figures 3 and 4), lances 20, 21 are restored to the undeformed position by teeth 28 clicking inside retaining seat 13 of terminal 5 so that respective sides of the teeth, perpendicular to direction A and opposite the respective oblique sides, define a stop preventing withdrawal of terminal 5.
  • connector 1 also comprises a secondary retaining device, indicated as a whole by 30, for retaining terminals 5.
  • Device 30 comprises a movable member 31 formed separately from casing 3 and which is fitted, in direction A, to the front of casing in a closed position ( Figures 3 and 4) to determine correct insertion of terminals 5 inside respective cavities 4 and prevent withdrawal of the terminals.
  • movable member 31 comprises a substantially T-shaped plate 32 which is positioned contacting wall 18 of casing 3 in the closed position of movable member 31; and a number of first wedges 33, one for each cavity 4, projecting integrally from plate 32 and parallel to direction A, and each of which is inserted, inside respective cavity 4, between lance 20 and wall 9 from which lance 20 originates, so as to prevent deformation of lance 20 ( Figure 4).
  • Movable member 31 also comprises a number of second wedges 34 projecting integrally from plate 32 and parallel to wedges 33, and engaging respective openings 24 in walls 22, 23 of casing 3.
  • Plate 32 also comprises a number of through seats 35 coaxial with front openings 17 of respective cavities 4 and which are engaged, in use, by respective contact portions of the male terminals of the complementary connector.
  • Movable member 31 is fitted to the front of casing 3 in a preassembly position ( Figures 1 and 2) - in which plate 32 is positioned facing and parallel to wall 18, and wedges 33 and 34 engage the inlets of respective cavities 4 and are separated, in direction A, from respective lances 20, 21 to permit deformation of the lances when assembling terminals 5 - and is movable, in direction A, between the preassembly position and said closed position ( Figures 3 and 4) in which plate 32 is positioned contacting wall 18, wedges 33 are inserted inside respective cavities 4, between lances 20 and wall 9 from which lances 20 originate, so as to prevent deformation of lances 20, and wedges 34 are positioned closing respective openings 24.
  • device 30 also comprises a pair of elastic members 40 which project from respective lateral end portions of plate 32 of movable member 31, on the same side as wedges 33, 34, are located on opposite sides of wedges 33, 34, cooperate in sliding manner with casing 3 as movable member 31 is moved between said preassembly and closed positions, and are deformable, by interaction with casing 3, between a disabling configuration ( Figures 1 and 2) in which elastic members 40 project partly outwards of casing 3 and prevent insertion of connector 1 inside the receptacle of the complementary connector, and an enabling configuration ( Figures 3 and 4) reached when movable member 31 is in the closed position, and in which elastic members 40 are housed entirely within the outer contour of casing 3 and permit insertion and connection of connector 1 inside the receptacle of the complementary connector.
  • a disabling configuration Figures 1 and 2
  • an enabling configuration Figures 3 and 4
  • Each elastic member 40 is defined by a substantially U-shaped blade positioned with the concavity facing plate 32 and which comprises a first arm 41 having one end integral with plate 32, and a second arm 42 facing and free to flex with respect to arm 41. More specifically, arms 42 of elastic members 40 are located on opposite sides with respect to arms 41, and diverge from arms 41 towards plate 32 when undeformed and in the disabling configuration of elastic members 40. Each arm 42 has, at a respective free end adjacent to plate 32, a pair of projections 43 projecting outwards with respect to casing 3 in the disabling configuration of elastic member 40.
  • Elastic members 40 are engaged inside respective longitudinal through seats 44 formed in portion 7 of casing 3, on opposite sides of the relative row of cavities 4.
  • each elastic member 40 also comprises a pair of teeth 45, 46 which click onto respective teeth 47, 48 associated with respective seat 44 to respectively define said closed and preassembly positions.
  • teeth 45 and 47 defining the closed position of movable member 31 project respectively from an intermediate portion of arm 42 of each elastic member 40 and from an inlet portion of the lateral edge of relative seat 44, and have a substantially isosceles-trapezium-shaped profile with the respective oblique sides facing opening 15 and opening 17 respectively.
  • teeth 46 and 48 defining the preassembly position of movable member 31 project respectively from an end portion of arm 41 of each elastic member 40 and from the inlet portion of the lateral edge of relative seat 44, and both have a substantially isosceles-trapezium-shaped profile with the respective oblique sides facing opening 15 and opening 17 respectively.
  • Teeth 45 and 46 of each elastic member 40 are located in succession in direction A from plate 32 towards the inside of relative seat 44; and teeth 47 and 48 of each seat 44 are positioned facing each other.
  • arm 41 extends perpendicularly from plate 32 and cooperates in sliding manner with a side of tooth 48 parallel to direction A, while arm 42 diverges from arm 41 towards plate 32, so that projections 43 project outwards of casing 3, and cooperates with the oblique side of tooth 47.
  • each elastic member 40 In the enabling configuration of each elastic member 40, arms 41 and 42 are positioned parallel to each other, and projections 43 are aligned with the lateral edge of portion 7 of casing 3.
  • Connector 1 is assembled as described below, and commencing from an initial condition in which movable member 31 is fitted to casing 3 in the preassembly position with elastic members 40 in the disabling configuration, and terminals 5 are located inside respective cavities 4 ( Figure 2).
  • the preassembly position is defined by teeth 46 of elastic members 40 engaging teeth 48 associated with respective seats 44.
  • lance 20 prevents the corresponding wedge 33 of movable member 31 from being inserted fully inside cavity 4, between lance 20 and wall 9, and so prevents movable member 31 from being moved into the closed position, so that projections 43 of elastic members 40 project outwards of casing 3 and prevent insertion of connector 1 inside the receptacle of the complementary connector.
  • device 30 is particularly straightforward and inexpensive by requiring no relatively complex additional parts on casing 3 other than a pair of through seats 44 formed in a conventional casing.
