Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an electrical connector module with housings for receiving forwardly-inserted contacts. These contacts are female contacts.
  • This electrical connector module is also adapted to be introduced into a module-carrier.
  • the female contacts comprise a body with a cage at the front and a blade at the rear. This blade carries pins to be crimped on the flexible circuit.
  • This module is equipped with a moveable flap, known generally but described according to a preferred embodiment in a related application in the name of the same applicant.
  • a flap assures a mechanical blockage of the flexible circuit so as to prevent its tearing away perpendicular to the crimpings during inadvertent pulling forces exerted not only on the connector but also on the cables themselves.
  • This flap also prevents peeling, that is to say delaminating of the sheets constituting the flexible circuit, as well as transmission of undulations via the flexible circuit, which would also tend to damage the crimpings.
  • this flap is advantageously arranged to assume three fully-defined angular positions, one being as manufactured for insertion of the contacts, another being a delivery position for insertion of the flexible circuit into the modules, and the last, completely lowered, being closure of the flap effected simultaneously with the operation of seating the flexible circuit on the blades of the contacts.
  • the flexible circuits described above are sheets formed of a complex of layers of insulating material between which are built up wiring lines of conductive material constituting both conductors and contacts for these circuits.
  • the width and thickness of the wiring lines determines the conductive capacity, which in turn leads to dispose, on a same flexible circuit and in a same connector, contacts of varying dimensions. Nevertheless, for purposes of simplifying the present description, the wiring lines and contacts have the same dimensions.
  • connection of the set of contacts is effected in a single operation, by seating after insertion of the flexible circuit into the connector.
  • locking means assure in a complementary manner the mechanical retention of the sheet in the said connector.
  • US Patent 4317609 describes an electrical connector module comprising housings each for receiving a female contact, each female contact comprising bosses for immobilizing and preventing gap, by exerting forces perpendicular to the wall of the said housing.
  • the electrical connector module comprises housings for receiving forwardly introduced contacts, and is characterized in that each housing has the shape of a truncated pyramid with a clearance angle, and in that each contact comprises bosses on the cage for immobilization and suppression of gap.
  • At least one retention catch so as to assure an immobilization in the forward/reverse direction.
  • This module according to the present invention is also adapted to be introduced into a module-carrier, and it comprises to that end snap-locking means.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown the contact-carrying electrical connector module 10, as well as a flexible circuit 12 about to be mounted.
  • the module 10 comprises a body 14 with housings 16 adapted to receive contacts 18, in this case female contacts.
  • Each contact 18 comprises a forward portion forming a cage 20, a transitional zone 22, and a rear blade 24, provided with pins 26 to be crimped, as is best seen in Figures 2 , 3A and 3B .
  • an important component is the means for restraining the flexible circuit, which comprise a flap 28, which pivots about an axis 30, with a tongue/groove assembly 32 adapted to generate an offset portion in the flexible circuit and to mechanically immobilize this latter upon lowering the flap.
  • a flap 28 which pivots about an axis 30, with a tongue/groove assembly 32 adapted to generate an offset portion in the flexible circuit and to mechanically immobilize this latter upon lowering the flap.
  • a tongue/groove assembly 32 adapted to generate an offset portion in the flexible circuit and to mechanically immobilize this latter upon lowering the flap.
  • this flap comprises a window 34 which permits assuring the crimping of the pins on the flexible circuit, simultaneous to the lowering motion of the flap, through the said window.
  • This crimping is obtained by means of a tool adapted to the type of pins, and whose manufacture is within the capability of the skilled artisan.
  • the problem of mounting the contacts 18 in the housing 16 is solved by characteristics of the contact and characteristics of the housing.
  • the housing 16 has the shape of a truncated pyramid, with a clearance angle of slight slope, on two opposed faces among the four faces.
  • the large base is the inlet for connection of the housing and this housing narrows from the front to the rear.
  • each cage 20 of each female contact 18 is provided with bosses 36 which come to bear on the walls in facing relation of this housing with a clearance angle as is shown in the section of Figure 4A . Consequently, the bosses 36 are present facing and perpendicularly bearing on non-parallel walls.
  • this same cage carries at least one retention catch 38, disposed in the perpendicular plane and visible in Figure 4B .
  • Each catch is dimensioned and disposed so as to cooperate with the wall 40 of the housing when the contact is completely inserted.
  • the catches come into contact on the two opposing surfaces, other than those facing the bosses 36.
  • the two surfaces receiving the catches 38 are parallel.
  • the number of catches is variable as a function of the type of contact and for a contact of large dimensions, as shown in Figure 3B , it is suitable to provide two pairs.
  • the catches are disposed at the rear of the cage 20, whereas the bosses are positioned forwardly.
  • the contact is thus immobilized, without gap, in the housing via support on the walls of this housing in the transverse direction and by coupling in the direction of forward/reverse retraction.
  • the bosses 36 also participate in retaining the contact in its housing.
  • abutment 41 rearwardly of each contact.
  • the contact is lodged in the housing upstream of this abutment by the relative dimensions of the contact and of the housing.
  • the contacts 18 also remain accessible from the front, so as to permit the connection. It is thus necessary to retain these contacts in their respective housings, at the level of the module, during disconnection or during an accidental pulling force on the module carrier.
  • the module and the module carrier are equipped with means 44 for snap-locking of the module into the module-carrier.
  • means 44 for snap-locking of the module into the module-carrier In Figure 1 , only one of the two elastic locks is visible, each provided to cooperate with an opening arranged in the module-carrier.
  • each contact is force-fitted such that no gap remains, contrary to the mountings of the prior art.
  • the module In the case of a substantial pulling force, the module is forcibly extracted from the module-carrier and it is this connection which serves as the weak link to safeguard the electrical connection, even if the locking by the tongue/groove on the flexible circuit would be insufficient.
  • Such an arrangement permits facilitating the mounting of contacts on the one hand, while safeguarding the electrical connection even in the case of a substantial pulling force, on the other hand.
