Definitions

  • This invention relates to an adapter for the electrical connection between a plug and a socket presenting a different number of poles.
  • This invention was specifically developed to ensure the electrical connection between a plug and a socket complying with the technical specifications set forth in ISO standard 11446 - 1993.
  • Document EP-A-0249181 describes a plug which complies with said ISO standard.
  • This plug comprises an external casing, a contact board and a bayonet connection portion for connecting the plug to a socket.
  • the bayonet connection portion can turn with respect to the contact board between a position in which the plug is inserted in the socket and a position in which the plug is locked in the socket.
  • DE-A-29601228 discloses an adapter according to the preamble of claim 1, equipped with a first and a second set of contacts and a plurality of electrical wires connecting the contacts of the first set to corresponding contacts of the second set.
  • US-A-5554049 discloses an interconnection device for providing a visual indication of electrical operation or circuit status.
  • This device comprises a printed circuit electrically connected to a first and a second set of contacts, the printed circuit including at least one light emitting diode for providing said visual indication
  • the object of this invention is to provide an adapter more compact than known devices, in particular with shorter length.
  • the adapter 10 indicates an adapter for establishing an electrical connection between a plug and a socket (neither of which are illustrated).
  • the adapter 10 comprises an external casing 12 made of injection-moulded plastic material, preferably consisting of a monolith element with a bayonet attachment portion 14 and a support 16 forming a base for a cover (non illustrated) of the socket when the adapter is inserted in a socket of the type complying with ISO standard 11446-1993.
  • the casing 12 has an internal cavity 18 in which the contact board 20 is inserted and axially locked. The casing 12 is free to turn with respect to the contact board 20 between an insertion position in the socket and a locking position.
  • the contact board 20 presents an annular groove 20 on the external surface, which angular width corresponds to the angular relative rotation stroke of the casing 12 and the contact block 20.
  • the annular groove 22 is engaged by a radial tong 24 projecting from the internal surface of cavity 18 of the casing 12.
  • the radial tong 24 engages the annular groove 22 by an axial groove 25 communicating with the annular groove 22 by means of a step 27 destined to be passed over by radial tong 24.
  • a group of contact 12 is arranged on the contact board 20.
  • the group of contacts 22 comprises a printed circuit 24 to which a first set of contacts 26 are connected which contacts are destined to establish an electrical connection with the respective contacts of a socket and a second set of contact 28 destined to establish an electrical connection with the corresponding contacts of a plug.
  • the adapter is destined to be used to electrically connect a seven pole plug and a thirteen pole socket. The number of poles of the plug and of the socket which can be connected by means of the adapter according to this invention can be varied while remaining within the scope of this invention.
  • the printed circuit 24 is equipped with a plurality of conducting races 30, each of which is electrically connected to a pair of holes 32, which are destined to be fastened to contacts 26, 28.
  • the contacts 26, 28 of the first and the second set project from the opposite part of the printed circuit 24.
  • Each contact 26, 18 is fastened to a respective hole 32 by means of a pin portion 34 projecting from a frontal rear face of each contact 26, 18.
  • the pin positions 34 ensure both the mechanical connection of contacts 26, 28 to the printed circuit 24 and the electrical connection of the contact 26, 28 to the conducting races 30.
  • Each contact 26 of the first set is electrically connected to a corresponding contact 28 of the second set with conducting races 30 on the printed circuit 24.
  • a pre-fit group of contacts is obtained by fastening the contacts 36, 38 on the printed circuit 24, which group can used to test the electrical connection between homologous contacts.
  • the pre-fit group of contacts 22 is consequently arranged in an injection moulding device where plastic material is moulded on the contact board 22 to obtain the end contact board which is illustrated in figure 5 .
  • the plastic material incorporates the printed circuit 24 and the portions of contact roots (the ones destined to be coupled to a socket).
  • the plastic material fully surrounds the contacts 28 of the adapter which are destined to be coupled to a plug.
  • These contacts as shown in the figures, can be partially male contacts and partially female contacts.
  • the contact board 20 resulting at the end of the moulding operation is ready to be fit inside casing 12, thus completing the assembly cycle of the adapter according to this invention.
  • the use of a printed circuit 24 to ensure the electrical connection between the contact of the first and the second series will allow to obtain a contact board which dimension is very contained in the direction of the contacts. Consequently, the length of the entire adapter 10 is extremely contained with respect to devices of the known type, which is particularly appreciated considering that in most case the concerned adapter is destined to establish an electrical connection between a socket fastened to the rear part of a towing vehicle and a plug attached to a trailer. This is because an adapter of the type described above is used when the plug and the socket have a different number of poles and said adapter is frequently permanently connected to said socket, also when the trailer is not connected to the vehicle. In this case, the fact that the adapter is particularly short is very appreciated, offering advantages from an aesthetic point of view and because the shorter length of the device makes it less subject to breakage by knocks or vibrations.
