Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shielded connector for electrical conductors.
  • Such connectors are conventionally used to ensure the electrical connection of conductors to be connected.
  • Connectors of this type generally comprise two paired connector assemblies, which are fixed on one another, the connector assemblies each comprising an insulating body of molded material incorporating contacts, respectively male and female, mechanical fastening and electrical connection of contact tips provided at the ends to connect conductors, and a shield housing surrounding the insulating body.
  • Such connectors are generally used in transport vehicles, particularly in aircraft, to provide power to embedded electrical or electronic elements, or to exchange data between these elements.
  • the use of composite materials tends to become widespread. This is particularly the case of connectors that are often made of plastic material, which allows them to give them great mechanical strength for a relatively low weight.
  • the composite material connectors unlike connectors made from metallic materials, the composite material connectors generate an electrical discontinuity and thus an interruption of the shielding of the housings at their connection area.
  • the metal housings of the connector assemblies have skirt-like end portions superimposed for continuous shielding between the first and second connector assemblies.
  • Liaison is provided by contacts elastics of continuity.
  • the housings are shaped so as to surround the insulating bodies at their radial peripheral surface, but also axially, at their end surface.
  • the composite housings incorporate the monoblock insulating body. It then becomes relatively difficult to metallize the constituent material of the housings integrating the single-piece insulating body without short-circuiting the contacts, so that these housings must be made separately.
  • the shielding boxes are also specific to a single type of connector is cylindrical or rectangular.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide a shielding of a connector for electrical conductors capable of adapting to a large number of connectors of different types made of composite materials.
  • each shielding casing has a general shape of a hollow cylinder or parallelepiped defining internally a continuous passage, so that the insulating bodies are in contact with one of the other via a seal.
  • the shielding housings in the form of a casing surrounding the bodies, in the absence of any part coming between the facing faces of the insulating bodies, the shielding housings can come to fit on a a large number of existing connectors, since no element disturbs the geometry of the internal assembly of the connector.
  • the skirt end portion of at least one of the housings comprises at least one boss coming into contact with the corresponding end portion of the other housing and making it possible to ensure the continuity.
  • the seal comprises a first face bearing against the insulating body of one of the connector assemblies and a second opposite face provided with a peripheral bead bearing against the end edge of the housing. shielding the other connector assembly.
  • the second face of the seal may further be provided with protruding sealing lips each fitting into a housing into which a passage of the insulating body opens, in which is maintained a contact for mechanical fixing and electrical connection.
  • each connector assembly further includes a sealing insulator molded onto a free end face of the insulative body of said connector assembly and including sealed passages for the conductors.
  • the housings can then extend to the respective sealing insulators, so as to surround at least a portion of said insulators.
  • the facing surfaces of the housings and bodies have irregularities capable of ensuring a maintenance of the bodies in the respective housings.
  • the connector comprises an accessory in the form of a shielding shell provided with latching means intended to cooperate with complementary latching means formed in projections of said housings and comprising generally cylindrical projecting chimneys, each intended for to surround a bundle of conductors.
  • the shell consists of two complementary half-shells provided with complementary latching means.
  • the housings are respectively provided with first and second mutual fixing means comprising coding means allowing cooperation of the fixing means in a single defined position of the housings.
  • the polarizing means comprise a male polarizer comprising a socket provided with a protruding tooth and a female polarizer provided with a receiving housing of the projecting tooth aligned with the tooth in said defined position of the housings.
  • Figure 1 there is shown a side view of a connector according to the invention, designated by the general reference numeral 10, in a supposed vertical position.
  • the connector 10 has two connector assemblies, namely a connector assembly front or upper 12 and a rear or bottom connector assembly 14.
  • Each connector assembly 12 and 14 is intended to ensure the mechanical attachment and the electrical connection of a bundle of conductors and to establish an electrical connection of conductors to be connected connected to the connector assembly 12, on the one hand, and to the connector assembly 14, on the other hand, while ensuring electromagnetic shielding of the connection.
  • first and second connector assemblies 12 and 14 are fixed to one another by means of first and second mutual fixing means 16 and 18.
  • the fixing means are each equipped with polarizing means for permitting the attachment of the connector assemblies 12 and 14 only in a single predefined position of the connector assemblies.
  • each locking means 16 and 18 comprises a first bushing 20 held in a bore 22 provided in an extension of the first connector assembly 12 and a second bushing 26 axially aligned with respect to the first bushing 20 and held in a bore 28 provided in an extension 30 of the second connector assembly 14.
  • the first bushing 20 is a female polarizer, while the second bushing 26 is a male polarizer.
  • the second bushing 26 has an axial tooth 32 and the first bushing 20 has a cutout 34 which is aligned with the tooth 32 when the first and second connector assemblies 12 and 14 are mutually in a position in which they must be. attached to each other to ensure the electrical connection of the conductors to which they are attached.
  • each connector assembly 12 and 14 includes an insulating body 38 and 40 made by molding a plastic material.
  • the insulating bodies 38 and 40 are each generally parallelepipedal and are provided with passages, such as 42 and 44, in which are placed contacts, such as 39 and 41, complementary male and female, paired and intended to receive contact tips (not shown) provided at the ends to connect conductors.
  • one of the insulating bodies namely the insulating body designated by the reference 38, is provided with male contacts 39 constituting pins projecting in the direction of the insulating housing 40 to be inserted into the female contacts 41. correspondents.
  • the insulating bodies 38 and 40 are each arranged in a housing or a base, respectively 46 and 48, made of metallic material or advantageously of metallized composite material and intended to receive, by complementary shape one of the insulating bodies.
  • the insulating bodies 38 and 40 are provided externally with gaudrons or embossings which constitute irregularities of shape allowing an effective maintenance of the bodies in the housings 46 and 48.
  • One of the housings namely the housing designated by the numeral 46, is for example a fixed base. It has a hollow cylinder shape and has an axial cylindrical extension 50 forming a skirt extending beyond the end face of the insulating body 38 which it surrounds. However, it comprises, internally, a narrowing of localized section 52 which constitutes a seat on which is supported an annular shoulder formed on the end face of the insulating body 38.
  • the shield housing 48 of the other connector assembly 14 also has a hollow cylinder shape and has an end skirt 54 surrounding the end region of the insulator body 40 facing the first
