Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locking device of a connector module in a module carrier.
  • the present invention relates to a connector housing comprising a locking device of the module in the frame for which the stirrup participates in locking the module in particular to precisely position the module relative to the complementary connector.
  • the invention mainly relates to a connector housing comprising at least one contact holder module, a receiving frame of this module and a stirrup, a coupling aid with a complementary connector, operable between a position of uncoupling and a coupling position of the housing with the complementary connector, wherein the bracket comprises means for retaining the module in a locking position of the module in the frame.
  • the retaining means of the module may in particular be arranged such that they are active when the stirrup is in the coupling position of the housing with the complementary connector and inactive when the stirrup is in the uncoupling position.
  • the module and the frame comprise first complementary latching means holding the module in the locked position in the frame.
  • the module and the frame may comprise second complementary latching means for holding the module in a retracted position for pre-mounting the module in the frame.
  • the first latching means of the module in the frame comprise a spring finger carried by the frame and a first stop element carried by the module.
  • the spring finger can cooperate with a second stop element carried by the module to make the second latching means.
  • the stirrup may in particular be a stirrup sliding in the frame transversely to a coupling direction of the housing with the complementary connector, the module holding means comprising a transverse rail bearing on a shoulder of a rib of the module to lock the module in the frame.
  • the module and the stirrup comprise complementary means for prohibiting operation of the stirrup, module out-locking position.
  • the connector housing 10 shown in FIG. 1 comprises at least one contact carrier module 100.
  • Such contact carrier modules are frequently used, in particular in the context of producing automobile harnesses to make it easier to handle the housings to be wired.
  • connection devices provided with coupling aids and in particular lever or stirrup devices to facilitate the connection of the connectors to one another or to electronic equipment.
  • the coupling assistance device comprises a stirrup 3 provided with ramps 13 intended to receive pins 12 carried by a complementary connector 4 shown in FIG. 4 to allow the coupling of the housing 10 and the complementary connector 4.
  • the stirrup 3 slides in a frame 1 for receiving the module 2 and is operable between a position of uncoupling the housing 10 with the complementary connector 4 for which the pins 12 are disengaged from the ramps 13 and a coupling position of the housing 10 with the complementary connector 4 for which the pins 12 are received at the bottom of the ramps 13.
  • the module 2 is received in the frame 1 and can be positioned in a pre-assembly position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 and pushed into the frame 1 in a locking position shown in particular in FIG. 5.
  • the module 2 and the frame 1 comprise first complementary locking means 8, 15 holding the module in the locked position in the frame.
  • These means consist of spring fingers 8 or latch on the frame and first stops 15 on the module 2.
  • the spring fingers comprise a face 8a bearing against the stops 15 opposing the removal of the module.
  • two first stops are arranged on external lateral faces of the module and two fingers are arranged on internal faces of the frame facing said lateral faces.
  • the module and the frame comprise second complementary locking means 8, 9 for holding the module in a retracted position for pre-mounting the module in the frame.
  • These second means comprise the spring fingers 8 and second stops 9 positioned on the lateral faces of the module in front of the first stops with respect to the coupling face 14 of the module with the complementary connector 4.
  • the stirrup 3 comprises means 5 for retaining the module 2 in a locking position of the module 2 in the frame 1. These retaining means act on a surface of the module such as a shoulder on the ribs 6 or pins of the module and allow to apply the coupling face 14 of the module against a corresponding face of the complementary connector 4, this, directly under the action of the stirrup 3.
  • the positioning of the module relative to the complementary connector 4 is no longer dependent on the dimensions and possible sets of positioning of the module in the frame but is directly obtained by the support of the bracket on the module when engaging the pins 12 of the complementary connector in the ramps 13 of the stirrup.
  • no loss of insertion force on the contacts carried by the module and the additional connector due to a possible lack of rigidity of the frame is to be feared since according to the invention the caliper bears directly on the module.
  • the retaining means are inactive when the stirrup is in the uncoupling position that is to say they are disengaged.
  • the stirrup 3 is a stirrup which slides in the frame transversely to a coupling direction of the housing with the complementary connector. So that the caliper presses on the module when coupling the housing 10 with the complementary connector 4, the means 5 for retaining the module comprise two transverse rails 5 resting on the shoulders 7 of the ribs 6 of the module 2. Thus , the caliper locks the module 2 in the frame 1 and directly presses the module on the complementary connector 4.
  • the module When the ether is in the standby or uncoupling position of the housing with a complementary connector, as shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 and in FIG. 6 where only the module and the stirrup are shown, the module can be inserted into the frame , the rails 5 of the caliper are spaced apart from the path of the ribs 6 during the passage of the module from the pre-mounting position to the locking position. On the other hand, if the caliper is out of the waiting position, for example in an intermediate position between the waiting position and the coupling position, the rail 5 prevents mounting the module in the frame.
  • the rib 6 is in the path of a front edge 11 of the rail and blocks the operation of the stirrup.
  • the device according to the invention allows a high positioning accuracy of the module 2 with respect to the complementary connector 4, an excellent transmission of the forces applied to the stirrup 3 on the module 2 during of the coupling with a complementary connector 4 and a safety of operation since the stirrup 3 can not be operated from the uncoupling position to the coupling position if the module is not in the locking position, but is in an intermediate position between the pre-assembly position and the locking position.
