Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector and an electrical connector assembly for an automotive airbag restrained system.
  • Such vehicle airbag systems use an electrical connection system which comprises a receptpacle or socket connector on the side of the airbag and a plug connector on the side of a control unit.
  • These connectors have to be mated while fulfilling safety requirements relating to electrical safety (shorting electrical terminals on the side of the airbag) and mechanical safety (firm connection between the mated connectors).
  • Electrical connectors for airbags are known for example from EP 0 591 948 B1 and include a socket connector having a shorting insert, and a plug connector having a safety latch element which is for moving the shorting element to a non-shorting position when the connectors are mated.
  • the safety latch element is also provided for actuating lock means which prevent separation of the electrical connectors mated.
  • US 6,364,683 B1 discloses an electrical connector comprising a dielectric housing with a rib therein having tapered surfaces, a locking device having downwardly projecting beams and being movably mounted on the dielectric housing for engaging the rib for holding the locking device in a temporary position.
  • the locking device is also termed "secondary locking device” or “CPA member” (Connector Position Assurance).
  • the socket connector has a projection which cooperates with tapered surfaces of the beams of the plug connector causing the beams to be released from the stop surface of the rib, thereby enabling the locking device to be moved to a fully-locked position.
  • the locking device has latching arms for being latched on the plug connector housing at the fully-locked position, and locking arms which are deflected by a boss of the housing to enter into latching grooves of the socket connector housing.
  • the locking arm is in a stressed condition when the connectors are mated which is a not allowed condition for certain applications.
  • a shorting electrical connector assembly with positive lock is known from EP 1 160 934 B1 and shows a plug connector comprising a locking device for locking the connectors in mated condition, and an actuating device separated from and independent of the locking device for opening the short circuit in the socket connector when the connectors are fully mated.
  • the locking device includes locking arms having hook-shaped ends which, in a prelocked position, rest on supporting surfaces of latch arms of the plug connector, and when the connectors are fully mated, the locking arms are deflected to get beyond the supporting surface and snap into recesses of the socket connector.
  • the actuating device consists of a plate with an elongated finger and, parallel thereto, short latches, the plate being fixed to the plug connector housing and can be moved into a channel formed by the plug connector and the socket connector in a pre-locked position thereof.
  • the holding force is not big enough for certain applications, particularly where a holding force > 50 N or even > 80 N is requested.
  • the socket connector includes a coupling piece which is an essentially cylindrical sleeve with a recess with at least one guide shoulder running parallel to the insertion direction of the plug connector and which props above the contact pins of the socket connector.
  • the plug connector has L-shaped arms which define a T-shaped slot encompassing the arm having the guide shoulder.
  • Two tongues extend parallel to the projection of the plug connector and have noses to be latched in appropriate recesses in the coupling piece.
  • a secondary locking mechanism includes a pair of legs having end faces supported on a cross brace in a pre-mounted position of the connector assembly.
  • a further plug connector having a secondary locking device is known from US 6,530,799 B2 .
  • the plug connector has a plug projection with locking arms fixed on the end of the plug projection and extending upwardly and forming a slot between locking arm and plug projection.
  • the secondary locking device has several legs, among them the locking leg, a short circuit releasing leg and a spring arm with a step and a projection. In the pre-mounted position, the step of the spring arm rests on a wedge-shaped crest projecting from the locking arm and a locking projection formed on the plug connector housing.
  • the spring arm is deflected by the locking projection acting against the step so that the spring arm bends, whereby the step is lifted from the locking projection. This allows a further depression of the secondary locking device where the projection of the spring arm slides in the socket connector, and the spring arm is bent and stays bended in the fully inserted position of the connectors. Such bend condition of the safety member is not desirable for certain applications.
  • the plug connector includes a spring stop device for the secondary locking device which has a stop leg for that purpose so that the secondary locking device is held in a pre-assembled position.
  • the secondary locking device is pressed down so as to pivot the spring stop device into a release position from the blocking position through a sliding guiding action on a wall area of the socket against a spring resistance of the spring stop device.
  • the secondary locking device integrally carries a guiding leg which is used for braking the shorting condition of the shorting element in the socket connector. It is not possible to move the secondary locking device independently from the actuator for braking the shorting condition.
  • Yet another object is to design an electrical plug connector wherein the CPA member and the actuator can be reliably held in a pre-mounted position of the connector assembly, such as with a holding force of more than 50 N or even 80 N in the case of an electrical connector assembly for an automotive airbag restrained system.
  • Still another object is to design an electrical plug connector where any of its latching or locking members is in an essentially relaxed condition when the plug and socket connectors are fully mated.
  • the electrical connector assembly comprises a socket connector of a predetermined construction, and a plug connector designed to fulfill the objects noted.
  • the socket connector comprises a socket housing having a receptacle cavity formed with a latching groove and with insert walls. Terminal means are accommodated in the socket housing, among them a shorting element.
  • the plug connector comprises a plug housing which is formed with a body portion, with a cylindrical plug projection and with latch arms extending from the body portion parallel to the plug projection.
  • the plug connector also includes an actuator for braking the shorting condition of the shorting element in the socket connector, and a CPA member for locking the plug connector in the socket connector when fully mated.
  • the plug housing has compartments and passages partially with guiding surfaces for accommodating the plug terminals as well as the actuator and the CPA member.
  • the plug housing and the CPA member are constructed to hold the CPA member in a pre-mounted position with a predetermined latching force (larger than 50 N or even 80 N for airbag systems).
  • the CPA member has locking legs which, when the connectors are fully mated, fill a respective gap between the latch arms of the plug housing and insert walls of the socket housing, so that the latch arms which are latched in grooves of the socket housing are locked.
  • the CPA member also has spring arms which, starting from the pre-mounted position, are spread apart to snap in latching openings formed by the plug housing when the CPA member is fully inserted in the plug housing. In this condition of fully insertion, the spring arms are essentially or practically without stress.
  • a particular feature of the spring arms is the shape of its free end which is formed as a lug.
  • the lug has a flat lowermost surface (seen in direction to the socket connector) and two slanting or sloping surfaces in an angle to the horizon plane and to one another.
  • the lowermost surface of the lug props on a stop surface formed with the plug housing in the pre-mounted position of the CPA member, the lug being latched in a latching opening of the plug housing.
  • the lower slanting surface of the lug gets into engagement with an insert wall of the socket connector and is cammed out of the latching opening and snaps into the lower latching opening in the plug connector which corresponds to the fully mated position of the connectors.
  • This lower latching opening is also formed with a sloping surface for cooperating with the upper slanting surface on the lug of the spring arm. Therefore, when pulling on the CPA member, the lug of the spring arm is driven out of the lower latch opening in the plug housing so that the CPA member can be moved upwardly (away from the socket connector) so as to remove the locking legs of the CPA member out of the gap between the latch arms of the plug housing and the insert wall in the socket connector. This allows unlatching the latch arms of the plug connector from grooves in the socket connector and removing the plug connector from the socket connector.
  • the connector assembly includes a socket connector 1 and a plug connector 2.
  • Fig. 1 shows the main component parts of the plug connector 2 of invention, namely a housing 3, a cover 4, a terminal assembly 5, an actuator 6 and a connector position assurance element or CPA member 7. These components are tiny, that is, the housing 3 has a length dimension of about 20 mm and the latch features of about 1 mm.
  • the plug connector housing 3 has a body portion 20, a cylindrical plug projection 21 and latch arms 22 with lugs 29 formed thereon.
  • the plug projection 21 includes a hollow 23 and each a recess 24 forming an interspace adjacent to each latch arm 22.
  • wall formations 25 ( Fig. 2 ) are provided, also for fixing terminal contacts 51, 52.
  • the wall formations 25 include a cross rib 26 ( Figs. 8a , 9a ) so as to define, together with the body portion 20, an upper latch opening 27 and, together with a wall of the plug projection 21, a lower latch opening 28 (the terms “upper” and “lower” relate to the normal position of the receptacle or socket connector 1 and are not at all restrictive).
  • each cross rib 26 divides the space adjacent to it in an outer shaft 23a and in an inner shaft 23b ( Fig. 8d ).
  • Fig. 4 is a look on the upper side of the plug housing 3 and shows a left-hand compartment 30a and a right-hand compartment 30b.
  • the terminal assembly 5 includes the terminals 51, 52 and respective conductors 50 surrounded by each a ferrite element 53, and is mounted into the compartments 30a, 30b.
  • the terminals 51, 52 extend through openings 31 in the housing wall 25.
  • the conductors 50 extend through strain relief recesses 33. Stitching openings 34 are provided to receive fixing ends 54 of the terminals 52.
  • the cover 4 is latched on noses 32 of the housing 3 to clamp the conductors 50 and to bear onto the ferrite 53 by means of a leave spring 41 fixed on the upper wall 40 of the cover 4.
  • the compartment 30b is constructed to accommodate the upper portions of the actuator 6 and of the CPA member 7.
  • several passages are provided, namely a slot-like passage 36, a pair of arcuate passages 37, a pair of narrow passages 38 and, besides the compartment 30b, a further slot-like passage 39, which is narrowed by a pair of noses 39a at the upper end and a nose (not shown) near the lower end of the passage 39.
  • Each passage 37 opens into a respective recess 24 ( Fig. 7b ) to form a straight guiding channel for a respective locking leg 70 of the CPA member 7.
  • the actuator 6 ( Fig. 3 ) has an upper base plate 60 and an opening 61 to get access to the CPA member 7. Depending from the base plate 60, there are a guiding wall 62, a pair of latch arms 64 and a guiding leg 65.
  • the guiding wall 62 has a recess to form an inclined shoulder 62a ( Fig. 1 ) for latching corporation with a nose (not shown) extending in the passage 39 of the plug housing.
  • latches 62b ( Fig. 3 ) are provided for releasably holding the guiding wall 62 within passage 39.
  • the latch arms 64 are provided with hooks at their ends.
  • the leg 65 is provided with a latch nose 65a.
  • the actuator 6 is mounted within the plug housing 3 to cover the compartment 30b and the passage 39. In doing so, wall 62 is guided in passage 39 and guiding leg 65 passes through passage 36.
  • the CPA member 7 ( Fig. 6 ) has a pair of locking legs 70 connected by a plate 71 which has openings 72 in it for accommodating the latch arms 64 of the actuator 6.
  • the hooks of the arms 64 carry the plate 71 and thus catch the CPA member 7 overlying the opening 61 of the actuator 6.
  • the CPA member 7 has at least one spring arm 73 and preferably a pair of spring arms 73 which are fixed to, and integrally formed with the plate 71.
  • Each spring arm 73 has a lower end with a lug 74 formed thereon.
  • the lugs 74 each have a lowermost surface 74a as well as an upper slanting surface 74b and a lower slanting surface 74c.
  • the slanting surfaces 74b, 74c are sloping to the horizon plane and take an acute angle in a range between 60 and 90 degrees to one another.
  • the cross rib 26 ( Fig. 8a ) in the hollow 23 of the plug projection 21 has a rhomboid outline with an upper surface 26a ( Fig. 8e ) which is essentially horizontal and a lower sloping surface 26b ( Fig. 8b ) which extends essentially parallel to the slanting surface 74b of the spring arms 73.
  • the cross rib 26 forms a stop wall, that is, the upper surface 26a of the cross rib 26 is arranged for supporting the lowermost surface 74a of the spring arm 73.
  • the receptacle connector 1 represented diametrically in Figs. 7 , 8 and 9 has an outer housing 10 and an inner insert 11 with pin terminals 12 arranged in the insert.
  • a shorting clip 13 normally bridges the pins 12 ( Fig. 9a ) to create a short circuit therebetween, and by the action of the leg 65 of actuator 6 can be lifted to brake the short circuit ( Fig. 9c ).
  • the housing 10 forms a circular cavity 14 with lead-ins 14a for the plug connector, particularly for the latch arm lugs 29 thereof.
  • the cavity 14 also has a radial groove 15 for latchingly receiving the lugs 29 of the latch arms 22.
  • the insert 11 has outer walls 16, the outer surface thereof forming guiding surfaces for the inner surface of the outer walls of the plug extension 21 ( Fig. 7b ).
  • the insert 11 also has inner walls 17 ( Fig. 8a - 8e ) with a slot 14b for guiding a web 25a of the plug connector housing 3 and also for cooperation with the lug 74 of the CPA member 7.
  • the plug connector 2 is assembled with the actuator 6 and the CPA member 7 which are inserted in the appropriate passages 36, 39 and 37, 38, respectively, of the plug connector housing 3 as shown in Figs. 7a , 8a and 9a .
  • the lower rim portion of the plug projection 21 is inserted in the circular cavity 14 of the socket connector 1 such that the lugs 29 of the latch arms 22 reach the lead-ins 14a of the socket connector 1, and the terminals 51, 52 reach the pin terminals 12 ( Fig. 7b and Fig. 8a ).
  • Further depressing the plug connector leads to flexing the latch arms 22 so that the lugs 29 are clamped between the walls 16 and the lead-ins 14a of the socket connector housing ( Fig. 7c and Fig. 8b ).
  • the locking legs 70 of the CPA member 7 are blocked from further entering into the plug connector 2, and the lugs 74 of the CPA member 7 reach the cross rib 26 so that the lowermost surface 74a rests on the upper surface 26a of the cross rib 26, and the lower slanting surface 74c touches the wall 17 of the socket connector 1 ( Fig. 8b ). Furthermore, the lugs 74 of the CPA member 7 are latched in the respective openings 27. This is the pre-mounted position of the plug connector 2 in the socket connector 1 ( Fig. 7c , Fig. 8b and Fig. 9a ). There is reliably fixing of the CPA member 7 and the actuator 6 in such pre-mounted position.
  • the plug connector 2 is further depressed as shown in Fig. 7d , and the lugs 29 of the latch arms 22 snap into the groove 15 of the socket connector housing 10. In doing so, the guiding channels for the locking legs 70 between passages 37 and recesses 24 get unimpeded. Simultaneously, the spring arms 73 of the CPA member 7 are spread apart by the camming action of the walls 17 in the socket connector housing 10 onto the slanting surface 74c, compare Fig. 8b and Fig. 8c . The lugs 74 are leaving their upper rest positions in the openings 27, as also shown in Fig. 9b .
  • each leg 70 of the CPA member 7 slides along the outer surface of wall 16 in the passage 37 and the recess 24 forming an interspace in the socket housing 10 and gets in the gap behind its respective lug 29 so as to lock the respective latch arm 22 in its latched position, as shown in Figs. 7d, 7e .
  • the plug connector cannot be removed without lifting the CPA member.
  • Unmating the plug connector 2 from the socket connector 1 is brought about by pulling the actuator 6 and the CPA member 7 to the position shown in Fig. 7d , so as to unlock the latch arms 22 of the plug connector housing. This allows removing the plug connector from the socket connector housing as shown with Figs. 7c, 7b and 7a .
  • the design of the plug connector 2 allows to lock and unlock the CPA member 7 and the actuator 6 more than one time. Furthermore, by inserting the plug connector housing 3 and depressing the CPA member 7 while remaining the actuator 6 in an upper position, the pins 12 stay still short-circuited (as shown in Fig. 9b ), while the connectors 1, 2 are mated and locked. Thus, the design of the plug connector 2 allows to brake the short circuit in a later step of installation.
