Definitions
- the present invention relates to a connector for electrical conductors comprising at their end to be connected contact and locking tips intended to be inserted in locking devices that are held inside a body or connector housing being electrically insulated.
- Connectors and connection devices for such electrical conductors are known, for example from patents French n ° 2 115 556 and 2 575 912 to which reference is made for more details on contact and locking tips attached to the ends of the conductors and to the locking members in which these tips are intended to be inserted.
- the locking members are held by one or two insulating elements which are themselves held in a connector body or housing by means most diverse mechanical.
- elastic sealing means comprising passages for inserting contact and locking tips are provided on the rear side of the connector, and sealing means can in addition be provided on the front side of the connector.
- the present invention relates to a connector of the type defined above which is distinguished in particular by the simplicity of the means of holding and sealing the locking members in the body or connector housing, by the quality of the seal provided by these means and by a reduced cost of the connector.
- the connector according to the invention is intended for conductors electrics comprising at their end to connect end caps contact and locking device intended to be inserted into locks that are held inside a body or housing connector being electrically isolated.
- the means of electrical retention and isolation consist in a single holding and insulating element made of a single elastomer part by overmolding of the locking members directly in the body or case so as to surround the organs locking on the housing side and at least on the rear side of the connector, presenting here openings for the insertion of ferrules and for the sealed passage of the conductors carrying said tips.
- said holding and insulating element can be made in one piece so as to surround the organs of locking also on the front side of the connector, presenting here openings for the sealed passage of the contacts.
- This arrangement simplifies the connector and provides better sealing, the same elastomer element formed by overmolding surrounding the locking members of all sides while ensuring their maintenance in the body or housing connector.
- a connector half which can either be a base (half fixed) or a plug (half movable) includes a body or case 1 inside which are positioned lock 2 of which only one is visible in the figure.
- Each organ of lock 2 which is for example in the form of fins of retention type known per se is intended to receive a tip of lock and contact not shown fixed in a known manner by example by crimping at the end of a conductor to be connected.
- the tip in question can be either a male contact or a female contact intended to cooperate with a female contact or a corresponding male contact of another connector half, no represented.
- the locking member 2 is arranged between two elements insulators 3 and 4 and came together with one of the elements, namely the element designated by the reference 4. These elements 3 and 4 are held in the housing 1 by a retaining element 5 for example “stop ring” type cooperating with element 4, to maintain the element 3 in abutment against an inner shoulder 6 of the housing 1.
- an element 7 in elastomer having a passage opening 8 aligned with the locking member 2 is arranged on the rear side of the connector in the housing 1, a sealing mass 9 ensuring the seal between element 7 and the housing 1.
- a sealing element 10 comprising in the axis of each locking member 2 a hole passage 11 extended by a nipple 11a is disposed against the face front of the element 3.
- a sealing washer 12 is attached in the housing 1, in the plane of the sealing element 10, this washer 12 being intended to be compressed axially during the assembly of the two connector halves, to cooperate so waterproof with element 10 and with the housing of the other half of connector.
- the connector according to the invention as illustrated in Figure 2 comprises a body or case 1 corresponding substantially to the body or housing 1 of the connector of Figure 1.
- Maintaining the assembly including elements 3, 4 y including the locking members 2 in the housing 1 and the seal of the entire connector are provided by a single element 14 which surrounds the module made up of elements 3, 4 including the locking 2 both on the rear side, on the front side and on the side of the housing 1.
- the element 14 forms on the side rear a sealing part 15 with through holes 16 for the ends intended to be inserted into the locking members 2, part 15 being in this way comparable to element 7 of FIG. 1, on the front side a part 17 comprising passage holes 18 and nipples 19, similar in this to element 10 according to FIG. 1, and on the outer periphery, relative to the body or case 1, thus ensuring not only the maintenance of the module inside the housing 1, without other means, but still a perfect seal, much better than that obtained according to FIG. 1 by several sealing elements reported.
- the part 17 is extended radially outwards by a bead peripheral 20 forming a seal to be compressed axially by the housing of the other connector half when assembling the two connector halves, which also provides a seal between the housings of the two connector halves assembled.
- Element 14 which surrounds elements 3, 4 in one piece including the locking members 2 while ensuring its retention in the housing and its sealing is achieved by overmolding of the module arranged in its case 1.
