Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the field of connectors, and in particular connection accessories for computer applications. More specifically, the invention relates to a connection device between first and second plugs fitted to multicore cables and insertable in this device according to first and second respective directions in opposite directions.
  • connection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention specifically aims to provide a connection device offering an excellent compromise in the search for these qualities.
  • the device of the invention conforms to the generic definition given in the preamble above, where it comprises first and second sockets, an internal multiconductor link, and a housing, in that the first and second sockets have faces respective connectors each carrying a plurality of contacts and adapted to respectively receive the first and second plugs engaged in respective windows of the housing, in that the first and second jacks are held in the head-to-tail position in the housing, characterized by the fact that the internal multi-conductor connection takes the form of a multi-conductor folded bayonet ply ensuring at least one galvanic continuity between each contact of each plug and a corresponding contact of the other socket, this internal link having first and second terminal portions physically connected to respective inner faces of the first and second taps, and an intermediate portion extending between the first and second end portions.
  • each socket carries a plurality of pins each of which is connected to a contact of this socket and on which is connected one of the end portions of the internal connection.
  • Each end portion of the internal connection is advantageously rigid and pierced with orifices threaded onto the respective pins, the intermediate portion of the internal connection being flexible on the other hand.
  • the housing is essentially formed of two shells assembled to each other and each of which carries fasteners cooperating with the fasteners of the other.
  • the hulls are identical and assembled to each other head to tail, each hull being provided with cooperating male and female fasteners respectively with the female and male fasteners of the other hull.
  • the first and second taps are identical to each other and can be forced into respective housings of the first and second shells.
  • the device of the invention may further comprise first and second grounding metal screens engaged in the respective end portions of the internal link and connected to each other through a conductor of this link.
  • connection device is particularly well suited to the case where said plugs comply with the IEC 11 801 standard.
  • connection device DR for connecting to each other ( figure 5 ) two cards F1 and F2.
  • These plugs equip respective multicore cables C1 and C2, and may be inserted into the device DR along respective directions, D1 and D2, in opposite directions.
  • connection device of the invention essentially comprises two sockets 1 and 2, an internal multiconductor link 3, and a housing 4.
  • the housing 4 holds the sockets 1 and 2 in the head-to-tail position and has windows 41 and 42 in which the pins F1 and F2 can be respectively engaged to connect respectively to respective connection faces 11 and 21 of the sockets 1 and 2 .
  • Each of these connection faces 11 and 21 carries a plurality of electrical contacts 5 each of which is in galvanic contact with a conductor of the plug F1 or F2 when the plug is inserted into the corresponding window 41 or 42.
  • the internal multiconductor link 3 takes the form of a multi-conductor folded bayonet and adapted to ensure at least one galvanic continuity between each contact 5 of each of the jacks 1 and 2 and a corresponding contact 5 of the other socket.
  • This internal connection 3 has two end portions 31 and 32, and an intermediate portion 33.
  • the end portions 31 and 32 are physically connected to respective inner faces 12 and 22 of the sockets 1 and 2, and the intermediate portion 33 extends between the end portions 31 and 32 and connects them together.
  • each of the jacks 1 and 2 carries a plurality of pins 6 on which is connected one of the end portions 31 and 32 of the internal link 3, each of these pins 6 being connected to a contact 5 of the corresponding plug.
  • the end portions 31 and 32 of the internal connection 3 are rigid while the intermediate portion 33 of this internal connection is flexible to be easily positioned between the sockets 1 and 2.
  • each of the end portions 31 and 32 of the internal connection 3 is pierced with orifices 30 each of which is in electrical contact with one of the conductors of this internal connection, so that the electrical connection between the internal connection 3 and each of the jacks 1 and 2 can be easily performed by threading these holes 30 on the corresponding pins 6 of this socket.
  • the sockets 1 and 2 are thus superimposed on each other in a direction perpendicular to each of the directions D1 and D2, and arranged head to tail on either side of the intermediate portion 33 of the internal connection 3.
  • the housing 4 is advantageously formed of two shells 4a and 4b which are assembled to one another by means of fasteners such as 43a, 44a, 43b, and 44b carried by each shell and cooperating with the fixing the other hull.
  • the shells 4a and 4b are identical and are assembled to each other head to tail.
  • Each of the shells 4a and 4b is provided with respective male fasteners, 43a and 43b, and respective female fasteners 44a and 44b, the male and female members of each shell cooperating respectively with the female fastening members and males of the other shell to hold the hulls 4a and 4b assembled to each other.
  • the sockets 1 and 2 which can typically be identical to each other, are for example force-driven into respective housings 40 of the shells 4a and 4b.
  • the connecting device of the invention further comprises two metal shields 71 and 72.
  • These screens 71 and 72 have respective pins 71a and 72a which are respectively engaged in dedicated orifices 30a of the respective end portions 31 and 32 of the internal connection 3, these screens being thus electrically connected to one another through a driver of this link 3.
  • the figure 7 illustrates the typical conditions of application of the connection device DR of the invention in the case where the sockets 1 and 2 are computer sockets in accordance with the IEC 11 801 standard.
  • this device DR allows to connect a record F1 to a CONSO consolidation point via a cord KD equipped with a plug F2, this CONSO consolidation point can itself be connected to a PB patch panel via a multicore cable KB possibly installed permanently.
