Definitions

  • the instant invention relates to mat seal joints for electrical connectors.
  • Mat-type sealing joints also known as "grommets" commonly used in the art are integrally made of an elastomeric material, to efficiently protect electrical connection members at least from humidity and dust or other elements that could impair the normal behaviour of the connector or its performance.
  • At least one electrical connection member is to be inserted through a channel of the sealing joint.
  • An electrical connection member typically comprises a metallic contact portion for electrical connection to a mating electrical connection element or circuit, and an opposite cable.
  • membranes are provided in the channels to avoid the need for separate plugs to seal those of the channels which are unused. The membranes remain not pierced in the unused channels, thus avoiding the sealing of the joint to be impaired.
  • EP 0 625 807 discloses a mat seal joint for an electrical connector, said joint comprising a body having a plurality of through channels each for insertion therein of an electrical cable and the channels being closed by membranes adapted to be torn upon insertion of an electrical connection member.
  • Document FR 2 844 645 discloses a mat seal joint according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the geometry of the membrane ensures that a gap will be provided, so that the tearing of the membrane will be detected at the sealing ability test.
  • Fig. 1 is an exploded view of an electrical connector.
  • This connector comprises a housing 5 made of an electrically insulating material such as glass-fiber reinforced poly-butylene terephtalate (PBT).
  • the housing comprises a front part 6 arranged in columns and rows of passageways 4 for receiving electrical connection members to be described in further details later on.
  • the housing also comprises a back part 3, for receiving a sealing device 1 and a grid 7 each one of which comprising passageways corresponding to the passageways 4 of the housing.
  • a sealing device such as a mat sealing joint 1 is inserted between the front part 6 of the housing and the grid 7.
  • the mat sealing joint will be described later in more details.
  • the mat sealing joint 1 is for example made of a soft deformable quasi incompressible material such as Liquid Silicone Rubber.
  • a suitable example could be a material provided by GE-Bayer under reference Silopren 3596/30 (30 Shores A).
  • the above material also has an auto-lubricating property provided by an oil content of 5%, thereby facilitating the contact insertion.
  • HCR Heat Curing Rubers
  • EPDM Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomers
  • ETP thermoplastic elastomers
  • the sealing joint 1 comprises an upper face for insertion of the electrical members and an opposing lower face.
  • two series of channels 2a, 2b are defined in the mat sealing joint, a first series comprising broad channels 2a of about 1.5 mm minimal diameter for receiving thick electrical connection members for insertion into broad passageways 8a of the housing, an a second series comprising narrow channels 2b of about 1 mm (or less) minimal diameter for receiving thin electrical connection members for insertion into small passageways 8b of the housing.
  • the dimensions of the joint, the number of series and the number, positions and sizes of channels of the joint and of the passageways of the grid are related to the passageways of the housing, depending on the application required for the connector.
  • the dimensions, positions and sizes pictured on Fig. 1 are only exemplary and could vary from one mat sealing joint to another.
  • an electrical member 21 as shown on Fig. 2 comprises a terminal portion 22 inserted into the passageway 8b of the front part 6 of the housing, for connection with a mating male contact.
  • This terminal portion extends from a cable element 9 which comprises an insulating sheath 10 which extends through the housing to the outside of the housing.
  • the sheath 10 comprises a first junction portion 10a located proximate to the terminal portion, and a more remote external portion, or sheath body, designed to extend outside of the connector for connection to another electric equipment.
  • Fig. 2 shows an electrical member for insertion through a narrow passageway 8b. Electrical members for insertion through the broad passageways 8a can be of similar construction.
  • the contacts to be inserted into the broad passageways 8a have a somehow rectangular section of 2.40 millimetres (mm) times 2.70 mm.
  • Fig. 3 is a top perspective view of a part of the sealing joint over a narrow channel 2b.
  • the channel 2b extends for example partly axisymmetrically about a symmetry axis 11 from the insertion face of the sealing joint to the extraction face of the sealing joint.
  • the channel 2b is defined by a partly axisymmetric wall 12, from which projects a first lip 13, and for example one or more other lips (not shown) below the fist lip 13.
  • the lips are sized to tightly encircle and maintain the sheath of the electrical member inside the channel in a fluid-tight manner.
  • a membrane 14 is disposed in the channel 2b, for example carried by the first lip 13.
  • the membrane is adapted to be torn at insertion of the contact member 21.
  • the membrane principally extends in a transverse plane, which is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 11 of the channel. It comprises a thin portion 15, which is the thinnest portion of the membrane, and is the one adapted to be torn upon insertion of the electrical member.
  • the thin portion 15 is for example substantially rectangular and extends along a longitudinal line in the transverse plane.
  • a thick portion 16 extends with a substantially constant cross-section between the lip 13 and the thin portion 15.
  • the membrane comprises an anti-sealant portion 17.
  • the anti-sealant portion 17 comprises a base portion 18 from which a protruding portion 19 protrudes upwards.
  • the base portion 18 itself protrudes both upwards and downwards with respect to the thin portion 15.
  • the protruding portion 19 extends centrally, along an axis substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal line, between two symmetrical base portions 18.
  • the protruding portion 19 and the thick portion 16 both extend above the thin portion 15.
  • the protruding portion 19 has a slanted profile which provides a continuous slope substantially from the base portion 18 to the lip 13.
  • the central portion of the thick portion 16 will have its lower face which is supported by the upper slanted face of the protruding portion 19. Yet, at the base portions 18, the thick portion 16 does not rest on the base portion 18, due to the elasticity of the material constituting the membrane. Therefore, a gap G remains between the thick portion 16 and the anti-sealant portion 17 at its base portion 18, thereby allowing a flow of fluid therethrough.
  • Figs. 9 to 12 provide other examples of anti-sealant portions for membranes of sealing mat joints.
  • the protruding portion 19 comprises two different portions 19a, 19b of different slopes.
  • the slope of portion 19b is steeper than the slope of the portion 19a.
  • the protruding portion 19 is not provided with a slope at all, but extends as a finger from the rib.
  • the protruding portion 19 does not necessarily have a straight profile parallel to the longitudinal line of the thin portion 15. It could, for example, be provided with a triangular profile.
  • the protruding portion 19 could also have a slope such as in the first embodiment.
  • the membrane 14 is carried by the first lip 13.
  • the membrane could extend directly from the external wall 12 of the channel.
  • the geometry of the thin portion 15, the thick portion 16 and the anti-sealant portion 17 are illustrative only, and are not intended to limit the invention to the described embodiments.
