Definitions

  • the invention relates to electrical connectors of the type known as: "overmolded”, that is to say connectors in which electrical connecting members are housed and in which the housing element is overmolded on said organs.
  • Overmolding technology cannot be used for certain electrical contact members, for example, female organs or having very small dimensions. Indeed, it is imperative to avoid the penetration of the material overmolded in the contact member and, moreover the steps between these organs must be important for avoid that, during overmolding, the material tends to come together said organs which risk, in use, of generating short circuits.
  • the prior art constituted by the patent French No. 2,412,182 describes a connector comprising a body in which two electrical contact members are housed crimped at the ends with electrical conductors. The electrical contact members are engaged by one end rear of the body which is provided with flaps intended to close said end.
  • Such a connector is intended to cooperate with a complementary element engaged on the body and provided with organs of electrical contact complementary to those contained in the body, however for some applications it is imperative, not only, to perform a rear seal but also to obtain a seal between the connector and the complementary element.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to achieve a connector with male or female contact members having small dimensions and which allows, not only, to obtain a rear seal, but also sealing with the complementary element.
  • the connector according to the invention is of the type comprising an element comprising channels intended, each, to receive an electrical contact member crimped at one end of a conductor, said element comprising, at a rear end, flaps intended to enclose the conductors and, at one front end, slots for the passage of complementary electrical contact members of those housed in the element channels and housed in a additional element, on the rear end and the flaps being molded, said connector being characterized in that it is produced simultaneously with overmolding on the rear end, a skirt in which extends said element. Thanks to this arrangement, in the skirt, insert the complementary element which receives the element in which the contact members are housed electric and which itself includes additional electrical contact, on said element being mounted a seal which is compressed by the complementary element to ensure watertightness.
  • the shutters are of the type comprising gutters in which the conductors are guided, the gutters being provided with transverse beads in order to constitute baffles opposing the creep of the plastic during overmolding to the channels.
  • the shutters have, on their external face, a blind hole.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an element, according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows in perspective the element of the figure 1, the electrical contact members being mounted in the channels of said element.
  • Figure 3 shows in perspective the element of the figures in the locked position.
  • Figure 4 shows an example of a connector made by overmolding from the element of FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along line 5-5 in Figure 4.
  • Figure 6 is a sectional view along line 6-6 in Figure 4.
  • the connector according to the invention provides for the realization an element 1 intended to receive organs 2 of electric contact.
  • element 1 is two ways, but it could present many more.
  • the members 2 are here of the type comprising, at the end rear, crimping lugs 3 of a conductor flexible 4, while at the other end, they have elastic clamps 5 intended to grip a member of male electrical contact, such as a flat tab.
  • the element 1 is provided with two channels 7 presenting, each, at one end 9, stops 8 against which come to carry the free ends of the clamp 5, a slot 17 being provided for the passage of a tongue male.
  • Element 1 at its end 10, opposite the end 9, comprises articulated on flexible bands 11 and 12, two flaps 13 and 14, the flap 13 being terminated by a hook 15 intended to cooperate with the outer edge 16 of the flap 14.
  • the flap 13 comprises two gutters 18 and 19 with transverse beads 20, while the flap 14 is provided with two complementary gutters 18a, 19a with transverse beads 20a.
  • the end 10 of the element 1 is provided with a projection 22 circumscribing the two channels 7 and intended to cooperate with an enlarged end 23 of the flaps 13 and 14.
  • the electrical contact members 2 have, on two opposite sides, retaining tabs 24 which are intended to cooperate with the shoulders 25 of the channels 7.
  • Each member 2 is engaged in the corresponding channel 7 until the clamp 5 bears against the stops 8, while the retaining tabs 24 come cooperate with the shoulders 25 by means of a deformation elastic.
  • Each flap 13, 14 is provided, in its central part, a blind hole 30.
  • element 1 When the organs 2 are housed in the channels 7, shutters 13 and 14 being locked, element 1 is placed in a mold with means for closing the ends channels 7 opening at the end 9, said mold having, also pins intended to be inserted in the blind holes 30 so that the mold cannot be closed if the flaps 13 and 14 are not locked.
  • a seal 33 to ensure sealing with an additional element inserted in the sealing with an additional element inserted in the skirt 31 (shown schematically in phantom) and receiving element 1, said complementary element comprising electrical contact tabs fitting between these clips 5.
  • the complementary element has a boss cooperating with a hole 33 in the locking tab 32.
