Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector housing, which comprises a set of cells designed to each receive a contact by engagement along an axis, each cell of the assembly being defined essentially by at least two opposite axial side walls, and comprising two elastic locking lugs extending substantially axially to. from two respective opposite transverse walls.
  • each contact after its installation in the cell provided for this purpose, is blocked inside this cell thanks to the elastic latches which oppose its removal.
  • stops are formed at the front of each cell in order to limit the insertion of the contact.
  • these stops are constituted by blocks made of material with the housing, and formed at the four corners of the front end section of the cell, by defining a narrowing of the latter.
  • the housings or housing parts of the above type are produced by molding in one piece, and the internal shapes of the cells are obtained by pins arranged in the molds and generally movable along their axis inside the mold. during the molding operation.
  • this molding technique which makes it impossible to obtain undercut shapes with respect to the cell axis, the maximum width of the latch is limited by the distance transversely separating two stop blocks.
  • the use of current molding techniques, to produce connector housings of known structure severely limits the dimensions of the locking catches, and therefore the maximum effort.
  • the object of the invention is to design a connector housing of the type described above, the structure of which makes it possible to increase the retention force exerted by the latches, and which can be obtained by the simplest usual molding techniques.
  • each cell comprises, on the side of its front end, at least one bar forming a stop for limiting the insertion of the contact into the cell, which is formed so that its axial projection is located between the latches and does not interfere with them.
  • said strip connects the two opposite side walls adjacent to the transverse walls; -
  • Each cell of the assembly is provided with two such bars forming stops, which extend in parallel; -
  • On at least one axial section, at least one of the two latches has a width substantially equal to the width of one cell;
  • - at least one of the two catches is connected to the respective transverse wall by its rear end, has a hook which projects towards the axis of the cell, on the side of the front end which is free, and has a maximum width of the side of its rear end;
  • each cell of the assembly is symmetrical with respect to an axial plane extending between the two latches; and the housing is molded in one piece from plastic.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of an electrical connector housing according to the invention, cut along the median axial plane of a row of cells;
  • - Figure 2 is a detailed perspective view, in another direction and on a larger scale, of the housing shown in Figure 1, showing more precisely the structure of a cell;
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing a contact engaged and locked inside the cell;
  • - Figure 4 is a sectional view, in its median plane, of the cell shown in Figure 3, and of a contact housed in this cell;
  • - Figure 5 is a partial view, in the direction V, of the front face of the housing, showing the contactless cell of Figure 2.
  • an electrical connector housing 1 of the type designed to receive and secure a plurality of contacts 2 (Figures 3 and 4), here female contacts.
  • This housing 1 is formed by molding in an insulating material, preferably in a plastic material.
  • Such a housing can, indifferently for the present invention, constitute a module intended to be housed in a main connector housing, or itself constitute a main connector housing, provided with locking means allowing it to be coupled with a connector counterpart.
  • the housing 1 is in the general form of a parallelepiped having external peripheral walls 3, a front face 5 intended to be turned in the direction of coupling with the connector counterpart, and a face rear 7 for introducing the contacts into the housing.
  • the housing has, on the side of its rear face 7, a skirt 8 formed by an extension of the peripheral outer walls 3.
  • this skirt 8 can for example be housed a grommet seal (or "grommet""), Or a sealant.
  • the Figures will be oriented according to the system of axes X, Y, Z, in which: the axis Z corresponds to the axis of insertion of the contacts in the housing 1, as well as to the coupling axis of the connector parts.
  • the axis Z is oriented from rear to front, that is to say according to the direction of engagement of a contact in the housing and of the housing 1 with the connector counterpart; and - the X axis and the Y axis are the axes “orthogonal” to the Z axis which each define with the latter a respective plane of the outer walls 3.
  • the housing 1 has a series of cells 9 arranged in several rows which extend laterally.
  • a cell will be defined as an assembly consisting of a housing intended to receive a contact, and associated means, specific to the housing 1, for blocking the contact in this housing.
  • Each cell 9 is partly formed as an "axial" conduit opening on the one hand on the front face 5, and on the other hand on the rear face 7.
  • a cell 9 is delimited, laterally, by two parallel lateral walls 11 which extend over most of its length, and, transversely, by two opposite parallel transverse walls 13 which extend over an intermediate axial section.
  • Each cell 9 is provided with two elastic lugs 15 which each extend axially from a respective transverse wall 13.
  • Each latch 15, on the side of its free end 17 turned towards the front, has a hook 19 turned towards the inside the cell.
  • the latches 15 are provided for locking a contact inside its housing, by elastic engagement, the hook 19 engaging in a corresponding window 21 of the contact 2.
  • the housing 1 is molded , for each cell 9, with two bars 25 parallel to the axis X connecting the two opposite side walls 11 of
  • the bars 25 connecting the side walls 11 consecutively provide the front face of the housing with increased rigidity with a low material input.
  • at least one of the bars could be interrupted, or constituted by two studs facing each other, each secured to a respective wall 11 and projecting towards the cell axis. So, 1 introduction into the cell and the pressure on the contact of a test tip would be facilitated.
  • the two bars 25 of the same socket are spaced laterally by a distance allowing the introduction of a contact tongue or pin, complementary to the female contact 2.
  • the bars are spaced apart by a distance allowing the passage of a free end part, tongue or pin, of the contact. As can be seen in FIGS.
  • the bars 25 are provided to form stop stops limiting the insertion of the contact 2 into the cell 9.
  • the bars 25 are separated axially from the hooks 19 by a distance corresponding substantially to the distance separating the front end of the contact 2 from the window 21. It is understood, in the light of FIGS. 3 and 4, that the latches 15 make it possible to lock a contact 2 in the socket 9 in its operating position, by opposing the withdrawal of the contact towards the rear of the housing, and that the bars 25 oppose the extraction by the before contact, from its locked position in the socket. This function is ensured by the abutment of the front end of the contact on the bars 25.
  • the cell 9 is therefore provided with contact locking means by elastic engagement, constituted by the latches 15 , and stop means limiting the insertion of the contact, constituted by the two parallel bars 25.
  • each cell 9, including the latches 15 and the bars 25, is symmetrical by with respect to its transverse median plane XZ, and with respect to its lateral median plane YZ.
  • each bar is formed on a section, along the axis Y, adjacent but not overlapping with respect to the section on which is formed the latch 15 located on the same side of the transverse plane of symmetry.
  • the projection along the Z axis on the XY plane of the two bars 25, is located between the projections of the two latches 15 on the same plane, without overlapping or interference of the projections of the bars on the one hand with the projections of the latches on the other hand.
  • the latches 15 and the bars 25 can be formed by means of pins with axial movement Z, without requiring the use of drawers with lateral or transverse movement.
  • the molding of such bars 25 does not imply additional constraints on the width (along the X axis) of the latches 15.
  • the latter can therefore be formed with a width almost equal to the width of the cell 9, defined as the distance separating the two side walls 11.
  • the width of the latch 15 may advantageously be greater than
  • each latch is represented with a width equal to half the width of the complete latch, as it appears in the neighboring cell. This has not been shown, but it can be expected that the latch 15 has a maximum width on the side of its rear end, by which it is connected to the respective wall 13, its width may be progressively decreasing from the rear end to the free end before 17.
