Definitions

  • the invention generally relates to a shielded connection arrangement for data transfer, and more particularly to a shielded connection arrangement for making contact with an Ethernet line in industrial use.
  • a shielded connector for connecting signal and ground between a mating connector and a printed circuit board or a cable includes a housing with an inner cavity which is formed by upper, lower and side walls and a rear wall. The surfaces of the housing are conductive in order to shield signal contacts which are located within the inner cavity and run through insulated regions in the rear wall.
  • One construction includes a synthetic housing with a metal coating which forms a surface.
  • Another construction includes a solid metal housing with a synthetic insert.
  • a terminal block for shielded cables such as data transfer cables
  • the conductors of the cables to be connected are introduced into a charge block which can be latched inside the lower part.
  • Located in the upper part is a carrier plate on which a printed circuit board carrying socket is seated. Insulation displacement contacts are seated in the carrier plate and penetrate into the charge block in order to make contact with the conductors when the upper part is placed on the lower part and joined thereto by means of a screw connection.
  • a terminal block for shielded cables has a shielding housing comprising an upper part and a lower part.
  • the cables to be connected are held by a clip which reaches around the exposed shielding of the cables.
  • the clip is inserted in a receiver in the housing.
  • a radial pressure presses the clip against the shielding of the cable on one side and against a receiver on the other side, in order to connect the shielding conductively to the housing.
  • the receiver is located in the interior of the housing and holds the clip firmly in the form of a strain relief means.
  • a shielded connection arrangement for data transfer in an industrial environment which makes contact with a shielded electrical conductor or a plurality of electrical conductors of a shielded cable without the aid of a tool.
  • the cables are pushed into a pivotal receiver and there make contact by means of insulation displacement contacts.
  • the pivotal receiver is fixed by means of a cover, also pivotal.
  • the housing and the pivotal cover each have a ground connection and form a shield against electromagnetic radiation.
  • EP 0735 612 A1 discloses an electrical connector including an outer housing, a termination sub-assembly, upper and lower rows of electrical contacts, and a conductor holding block.
  • the housing is formed by an electrically insulated plastic and may serve to assist the shielding of the connector by an internally and/or externally electrolessly metallic plating such as nickel or copper.
  • the termination sub-assembly receives in upper and lower rows said electrical contacts which in turn receive individually insulated discrete electrical conductors.
  • the electrical conductors are further arranged in the conductor holding block for an easier assembly of the electrical connector.
  • a shielding is provided in the termination sub-assembly for providing a horizontally electrical shielding between the vertically spaced rows of contacts and for providing a vertically electrical shielding between side-by-side-pairs of contacts. Further, a shielding is provided horizontally in the holding block for providing a shielding between the vertically spaced rows of contacts near said insulation displacing portions.
  • a shielded connection arrangement for electrically connecting at least one multiple-conductor shielded electrical wire to a circuit carrier or the like.
  • the shielded connection arrangement may be used for connecting an Ethernet line to an electrical device.
  • the exemplary arrangement includes a housing having a securable cover with an internal cavity formed between the housing and cover when the cover is secured. Insulation displacement contacts are located within the cavity for making contact with conductors of the at least one electrical wire.
  • the housing and the cover are made of electrically insulating material, for example synthetic material or ceramic.
  • the shield plate may preferably be inserted into the securable cover and fixed there, and it serves to shield the connection arrangement by forming a largely closed conductive surface surrounding the connection.
  • the shield plate is detachably fixed in the cover by means of resilient tongues engaging in apertures in the cover, wherein the resilient tongues are projecting out of the cover for providing an electrical contact with an adjacent connection arrangement and/or a housing wall.
  • This shielded connection arrangement provides a simple and lightweight construction as a result of an electrically insulating housing made of ceramic or synthetic material, into which a shield plate in the form of a simple punched part is inserted.
  • an electrically insulating housing made of ceramic or synthetic material into which a shield plate in the form of a simple punched part is inserted.
  • the exemplary connection arrangement according to the invention has a significantly lower weight and a simpler method of manufacture.
  • the detachably fixed shield plate in the cover by means of resilient tongues engaging in apertures in the cover gives rise to a reliable mechanical connection between the cover and the shield, which is made by a latching or snap-in connection which is easy to use.
  • the resilient tongues are in conductive connection with a housing wall or a housing cover and/or with resilient tongues of an adjacent connection arrangement.
  • the shield plate makes reliable contact both with neighbouring units and with a metal housing. This reliable contact provides a high level of electromagnetic radiation shielding enhancing safety.
  • the cover is preferably mounted to pivot about a pivot axis fixed to the housing. Accordingly, the electrical wire may be connected in place by suspending it on the resilient tongues and pivoting the cover to a closed position.
  • a screwdriver may be used as a lever to loosen the cover..
  • the cover may be screwed to the housing.
  • an additional small shield plate is provided within the housing, in electrical connection with the shield of the electrical wire.
