Definitions

  • the present Utility Model application consists, as its title indicates, of "An electrical connector with a pre-assembly retention system", whose new characteristics of construction, shape and design fulfill the object for which it has specifically been planned, with maximum safety and effectiveness.
  • the invention refers particularly, but not exclusively, to an electrical connector of the runner or lever type provided with a pre-assembly system which allows the connector to be transported from the factory to the place of assembly with its parts previously mounted so that only minimal action is required on the part of the operator to assemble the connector.
  • the connector of the present invention comprises a housing inside which electrical terminals are housed and where a sliding element may move provided with two parallel arms which, when introduced by sliding, push an operating element that joins the outer end of both arms and cause the connector to couple in a counterpart in the connector box of the electrical installation of, for example, a vehicle.
  • Each arm of the sliding element includes guides that are parallel to each other and inclined downwards. Between said guides, pivots slide which are joined to the counterpart in which said connector couples after said sliding element is operated.
  • connectors of the type described that are provided with an operating element in the form of a lever to make said sliding element move inside the electrical connector.
  • the connector of the invention is of the type described above, that is, it consists of a sliding element provided with two parallel arms adapted to be introduced by sliding inside the electrical connector.
  • Each of said two arms is provided with a series of parallel guides, inclined downwards, between which pivots slide that are joined to a counterpart in which said connector couples after said sliding element is actuated.
  • the main feature of said connector is that it is provided with a pre-assembly retention system.
  • Said pre-assembly system is intended to allow the electrical connector to be transported to the cabling plant and handled in such a way that it does not come out of the counterpart due to the effect of the forces of traction and torsion of the cables inserted with their corresponding terminals inside the cavities of the connector.
  • This pre-assembly system is made up of the combination of at least one aperture situated adjacent to the entry area of said arms and of at least one projection in the area corresponding to said counterpart, said projection being adapted to be housed in said at least one aperture.
  • Figure 1 is an elevation view of a connector in accordance with the present invention, which has been illustrated with the sliding element partially outside the connector.
  • Figure 2 is a front elevation view of the connector of figure 1, without the sliding element.
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectioned elevation view of the connector of the invention.
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged partial view of the connector of figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a plan view of the electrical connector of the embodiment of the foregoing drawings.
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view of an electrical connector with pre-assembly system in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figures 1 to 6 represent an embodiment of a connector of the type used in electrical installations of cars. It is a connector (1) made up of a plastic housing (2) that can be coupled inside a counterpart (3) of a service box, through the outer part of the walls (4) of the same.
  • a sliding element (5) may be inserted which, in turn, may be introduced inside said counterpart (3), causing the connector (1) to couple in the latter. This occurs when said sliding element (5) is made to move towards the connector (1) according to the direction of the arrow (6) shown in figure 3 of the attached drawings.
  • the sliding element (5) is made up of two parallel arms (7) joined together at their ends (8) by means of an operating element (9) adapted so that the operator applies the force needed to move the sliding element (5) towards the connector (1) in the direction of said arrow (6) of figure 2, causing it to couple in the counterpart (3).
  • the movement of the sliding element (5) forces the connector (1) to couple in the counterpart (3) thanks to the arrangement of guides (10) in each one of said arms (7) of the sliding element (5).
  • Said guides (10) are arranged parallel to each other and inclined downwards to cause the connector (1) to couple in the counterpart (3).
  • pivots run which are joined to the counterpart (3), which extend perpendicularly with respect to the inner part of each side wall (4) of the counterpart (3).
  • the connector (1) is provided, in accordance with the present invention, with a pre-assembly retention system which serves to prevent the connector (1) coming out of the counterpart (3) due to the effect of the traction and torsion forces of the cables which pass through the cover (11) of the connector (1).
  • the pre-assembly system of the embodiment illustrated in the drawings comprises an aperture (12) in the front part (13) of the body or housing (2) of the connector (1) and a projection (14) in the corresponding front area (15) of said counterpart (3).
  • the projection has a horizontal lower step (16) which prevents the front part (13) of the housing (2) of the connector (1) from separating from the counterpart (3) when the projection (14) is housed in said aperture (12).
  • the coupling of the projection (14) of the counterpart (3) in the aperture (12) of the connector (1) holds said connector in an intermediate position with respect to the counterpart (3) until it is coupled in a final position or connection position when the arms (7) of the sliding element (5) have been completely introduced into the housing (2) of the connector (1).
