Definitions

  • the present application relates to a "High-density multi-section electrical path connector", whose new characteristics of construction, shape and design fulfil the object for which it has specifically been planned, with maximum safety and effectiveness.
  • the invention proposes an electrical connector for centralising cables in electrical installations of vehicles, of the type comprising a housing adapted to house terminals associated with corresponding cables. Inside this type of connectors cavities are provided which serve to house the cables and said terminals.
  • the main objective of the present invention is to obtain an electrical connector of the type described which can house a great many cables, that is, provided with a large number of paths.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector which is conveniently provided with means to block this large number of cables in an effective and constructively simple way.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide an electrical connector for electrical installations of vehicles that allows cables of different diameters to be housed inside it.
  • the blocking element in accordance with the present invention is provided pre-assembled in the electrical connector and the terminals are then cabled in the same.
  • the blocking element is introduced completely into said complementary cavities of the connector, holding all the fitted cables in position.
  • the surface of the blocking element has two groups of cavities to prevent it from being introduced if the cables are not correctly placed in the connector. More specifically, the surface of the blocking element where the operator exerts pressure to couple it in the connector, comprises a first group of cavities with a substantially rectangular shape, in whose inner profile there are a series of circular incuts of different diameters for holding in position a large number of electrical cables of different diameter. Said surface of the blocking element has also a second group of cavities made up of semi-circular incuts made in the outer part of the surface of the blocking element.
  • the terminals and the cables are held in place, thus preventing them from leaving their position in the electrical connector.
  • Figure 5 is a front elevation view of the connector of the invention, sectioned through the plane B-B' of figure 3, in which the blocking element is pre-assembled in the electrical connector.
  • housing of the electrical connector (2) cavities of the electrical connector, (3) cavities of the electrical connector, (4) blocking element, (5) surface of the blocking element, (6) rectangular cavities of the surface of the blocking element, (7) semi-circular cavities of the surface of the blocking element, (8, 9) legs, (10) projection of the legs, (11) complementary cavities of the connector, (12) projections of the complementary cavities of the connector, and (13) guiding element of the cables in the connector.
  • an embodiment is illustrated of an electrical connector for organising and centralising the cables in the electrical installation of a car.
  • This connector comprises a housing (1) provided inside with a series of cavities (2, 3) of different size, adapted to house electrical terminals (not shown) associated with electrical cables of different diameters (also not shown in the drawings for reasons of clarity).
  • the connector illustrated is adapted to adequately house a large number of cables. More specifically, the connector represented in figures 1 to 5 is a 30-path connector.
  • the connector is provided with a blocking element (4) designed to hold in position the cables which enter the connector.
  • the blocking element (4) is made up of a surface (5) which contains two groups of cavities (6, 7) for the passage of said cables arranged in the electrical connector.
  • the surface (5) of the blocking element extends perpendicularly in legs (8, 9), each of which is provided with a wedge-shaped projection (10) adapted to be coupled in complementary cavities (11) made in the electrical connector.
  • the cavities (11) of the connector have a complementary inner projection (12) whose purpose is to make it difficult to extract the blocking element (4) since the respective projections (10) of the legs (8, 9) of said blocking element (4) act as a check.
  • a first coupling position or pre-assembly position of the blocking element (4) is established, in which the latter is partially introduced, blocked, into said cavities (11) of the connector.
  • a second coupling position is established in which the blocking element is completely introduced into the cavities (11), holding the cables in position thanks to the pressure exerted by the profiles of the cavities (6, 7) made in the surface (5) of the blocking element (4).
  • the blocking element (4) is arranged pre-assembled in the electrical connector, that is, in the position illustrated in figure 5, and the terminals are then cabled. Subsequently, the blocking element (4) is completely introduced into the complementary cavities (11) of the connector, holding all the fitted cables in position, which are conveniently guided by the guide element (13) of the connector.
  • the cavities (6, 7) made in the surface (5) of the blocking element (4) consist of a first group of cavities (6) with a substantially rectangular shape, and with a series of circular incuts of different diameters in their inner profile, which are adapted to hold in position a large number of electrical cables of different diameters; and a second group of cavities (6) made up of semi-circular incuts made in the outer part of the surface of the blocking element.
  • FIG. 1 represents an embodiment of a multi-section 30-path electrical connector made up of a body with a plurality of cavities for housing terminals which includes a blocking element for holding the cables in position that consists of a surface which extends in legs provided with wedge-shaped projections to allow said blocking element to be pre-assembled
  • a blocking element for holding the cables in position that consists of a surface which extends in legs provided with wedge-shaped projections to allow said blocking element to be pre-assembled
