Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector housing, which comprises a set of cells provided to each receive a contact by engagement along an axis, each cell of the assembly being delimited essentially by at least two opposite axial side walls, and comprising two resilient locking latches extending substantially axially from two respective opposing transverse walls.
  • each contact after its introduction into the cell provided for this purpose, is locked inside this cell thanks to the resilient latches that oppose its removal.
  • stops are formed at the front of each cell to limit the insertion of the contact.
  • stoppers are constituted by blocks integral with the housing, and formed at the four corners of the front end section of the cell, defining a narrowing of the latter.
  • the housings or housing parts of the above type are made by molding in one piece, and the inner 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.
  • the maximum width of the pawl is limited by the distance separating transversely two abutment blocks.
  • the invention aims to design a connector housing of the type previously exposed, the structure allows to increase the retention force exerted by the latches, and can be obtained by the simplest molding techniques usual.
  • the subject of the invention is an electrical connector housing according to claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to an electrical connector comprising a housing as described above, and contacts engaged in respective cells of said housing.
  • housing 1 of electrical connector of the type intended to receive and ensure the attachment of a plurality of contacts 2 ( Figures 3 and 4 ), here female contacts.
  • contacts 2 Figures 3 and 4
  • This casing 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 shape of a parallelepiped having outer peripheral walls 3, a front face 5 intended to be rotated in the coupling direction with the connector counterpart, and a face rear 7 introduction of the contacts in the housing.
  • the housing has, on the side of its rear face 7, a skirt 8 formed by an extension of the outer peripheral walls 3.
  • this skirt 8 may for example be housed a son-pass seal (or "grommet "), Or a sealing material.
  • axial will mean a direction parallel to the Z axis, while the directions of the X axis and the Y axis will be said respectively “transverse” and “lateral” .
  • the housing 1 has a series of cells 9 arranged in several rows that extend laterally.
  • a cell will be defined as an assembly consisting of a cavity designed to receive a contact, and associated means, specific to the casing 1, for blocking the contact in this cavity.
  • Each cell 9 is partly formed as an "axial" duct 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 side walls 11 which extend over most of its length, and, transversely, by two opposed parallel transverse walls 13 which extend over an intermediate axial section.
  • Each cell 9 is provided with two resilient pawls 15 which each extend axially from a respective transverse wall 13.
  • the latches 15 are provided to lock a contact inside its cavity, 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 X axis connecting the two opposite side walls 11 of the cell.
  • the webs 25 connecting the consecutive side walls 11, provide the front face of the housing increased rigidity with a small contribution of material.
  • 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.
  • the introduction into the cell and pressurizing the contact of a test tip would be facilitated.
  • the two bars 25 of the same cell are spaced laterally by a distance allowing the introduction of a tongue or a contact pin, complementary to the female contact 2.
  • the bars are spaced apart by a distance allowing the passage of a free end portion, tongue or pin, of the contact.
  • the bars 25 are provided to form stops limiting the insertion of the contact 2 in the cell 9.
  • the bars 25 are axially separated hooks 19 by a distance substantially corresponding to the distance between the front end of the contact 2 of the window 21.
  • the latches 15 can lock a contact 2 in the cell 9 in its operating position, opposing the withdrawal of the contact towards the rear of the housing, and that the bars 25 oppose the extraction by the front of the contact, from its locked position in the cell. This function is ensured by the abutment of the front end of the contact on the bars 25.
  • the cell 9 is thus provided with means for locking the contact by elastic engagement, constituted by the pawls 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 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 Y axis, adjacent but not overlapping with respect to the section on which is formed the pawl 15 located on the same side of the transverse plane of symmetry.
  • the Z-axis projection 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 projections of the bars on the one hand with projections latches on the other hand.
  • the latches 15 and the webs 25 can be formed by means of axially moving pins Z, without requiring the use of lateral or transverse movement drawers.
  • the molding of such strips 25 do 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 pawl 15 may advantageously be greater than 0.8 times the width of the cell.
  • each latch is shown with a width equal to half the width of the complete pawl, as it appears in the neighboring cell.
  • the pawl 15 has a maximum width of the side of its rear end, by which it is connected to the respective wall 13, its width may be gradually decreasing from the rear end to the free end before 17.
  • This improvement in the locking performance of the contact inside the casing 1 is achieved without generating additional complexity for molding the casing.
