Description

La présente invention a pour objet un élément de connecteur coaxial.The present invention relates to a coaxial connector element.

L'invention se rapporte plus particulièrement à un élément de connecteur coaxial du type SMB (à encliquetage) réalisé selon le schéma de normalisation FAKRA (Commission des normes de l'industrie automobile).The invention relates more particularly to a coaxial connector element of the SMB type (snap-in type) produced according to the standardization scheme FAKRA (Commission of Standards of the Automotive Industry).

Au sens de l'invention, on désigne par « élément de connecteur coaxial selon le schéma d'une normalisation FAKRA» un élément de connecteur coaxial comportant un corps dont les dimensions mécaniques dans une section axiale dudit corps coopérant avec le corps d'un élément de connecteur complémentaire pour établir une liaison mécanique entre les deux corps sont définies dans la norme DIN 72594-1.Within the meaning of the invention, the term "coaxial connector element according to the scheme of a FAKRA standardization" means a coaxial connector element comprising a body whose mechanical dimensions in an axial section of said body cooperating with the body of an element. additional connector to establish a mechanical connection between the two bodies are defined in DIN 72594-1.

De tels éléments de connecteur sont généralement utilisés dans le domaine automobile pour les câbles de transmission de données.Such connector elements are generally used in the automotive field for data transmission cables.

On a représenté à la figure 1 un exemple connu d'élément de connecteur coaxial 1, notamment pour le domaine de l'automobile. Comme représenté, cet élément de connecteur coaxial 1 s'étend selon un axe longitudinal X et comporte un corps 2 définissant la surface extérieure du connecteur et portant un nez de verrouillage 6. Le corps 2 reçoit un contact de masse 3 et un contact central 4 est reçu à l'intérieur du contact de masse 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un isolant 5. Un tel élément de connecteur 1 est constitué de quatre pièces distinctes et l'assemblage de ces pièces peut être long et coûteux.We have shown figure 1 a known example of a coaxial connector element 1, especially for the automotive field. As shown, this coaxial connector element 1 extends along a longitudinal axis X and comprises a body 2 defining the outer surface of the connector and carrying a locking nose 6. The body 2 receives a ground contact 3 and a central contact 4 is received inside the ground contact 3 via an insulator 5. Such a connector element 1 consists of four separate parts and the assembly of these parts can be long and expensive.

On connait par la demande WO2009/074262 un élément de connecteur coaxial selon le schéma de normalisation FAKRA dans lequel l'isolant et le corps sont réalisés d'une seule pièce par injection d'un matériau diélectrique. Avec un tel élément de connecteur, le contact de masse est une pièce métallique distincte du corps qui est réalisé en matière plastique. L'emploi de deux pièces distinctes pour réaliser le corps et le contact de masse peut occasionner des problèmes de coaxialité.We know by the request WO2009 / 074262 a coaxial connector element according to the FAKRA standardization scheme in which the insulator and the body are made in one piece by injection of a dielectric material. With such a connector element, the ground contact is a metal part distinct from the body which is made of plastic material. The use of two separate parts to achieve the body and the mass contact can cause problems of coaxiality.

US 7 101 185 divulgue un connecteur coaxial métallique comprenant un contact central reçu à l'intérieur d'un corps métallique avec interposition d'un isolant. Le corps comporte un nez de verrouillage distinct de l'insert. US 7,101,185 discloses a metal coaxial connector comprising a central contact received inside a metal body with the interposition of an insulator. The body has a locking nose distinct from the insert.

Il existe un besoin pour bénéficier d'un élément de connecteur coaxial qui soit simple et peu coûteux à fabriquer tout en présentant une coaxialité satisfaisante entre le contact de masse et le corps.There is a need to benefit from a coaxial connector element that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture while having a satisfactory coaxiality between the mass contact and the body.

L'invention a pour but de répondre à ce besoin et elle y parvient, selon l'un des aspects, grâce à un élément de connecteur coaxial, comportant :

  • un corps définissant au moins en partie la surface extérieure de l'élément de connecteur et portant des moyens de codage mécanique de l'élément de connecteur,
  • un contact de masse disposé à l'intérieur du corps,
  • un insert comportant une partie définissant un isolant et,
  • un contact central monté dans le contact de masse avec interposition de l'isolant,
caractérisé par le fait que le corps et le contact de masse sont réalisés d'une seule pièce et par le fait que l'insert comporte une partie de verrouillage.The aim of the invention is to meet this need and it achieves this, according to one aspect, thanks to a coaxial connector element, comprising:
  • a body defining at least in part the outer surface of the connector element and carrying mechanical coding means of the connector element,
  • a mass contact arranged inside the body,
  • an insert having a portion defining an insulator and,
  • a central contact mounted in the earth contact with interposition of the insulator,
characterized in that the body and the mass contact are made in one piece and in that the insert has a locking portion.

Un tel élément de connecteur présente un nombre réduit de pièces distinctes par rapport au connecteur représenté à la figure 1, ce qui diminue le nombre d'opérations d'assemblage. En outre, avec un tel élément de connecteur, le contact de masse et le corps sont réalisés d'une seule pièce, ce qui permet d'assurer une haute coaxialité entre ces derniers et d'assurer le guidage d'un élément de connecteur complémentaire lors d'un accouplement.Such a connector element has a reduced number of distinct parts with respect to the connector shown in FIG. figure 1 , which decreases the number of assembly operations. In addition, with such a connector element, the ground contact and the body are made in one piece, which ensures high coaxiality between the latter and guiding a complementary connector element during a coupling.

Le corps comporte avantageusement une partie tubulaire s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal et l'extrémité longitudinale avant de cette partie tubulaire est avantageusement ouverte et définit une face de connexion avec un élément de connecteur complémentaire.The body advantageously comprises a tubular portion extending along a longitudinal axis and the front longitudinal end of this tubular portion is advantageously open and defines a connection face with a complementary connector element.

Au sens de l'invention, on désigne par « avant de l'élément de connecteur» la portion de ce dernier à proximité de la face de connexion et par « arrière de l'élément de connecteur » la portion de ce dernier à proximité de l'extrémité de l'élément de connecteur opposée à la face de connexion.Within the meaning of the invention, the term "front of the connector element" means the portion of the latter in the vicinity of the connection face and "back of the connector element" the portion of the latter in the vicinity of the end of the connector element opposite to the connection face.

La face de connexion présente avantageusement des dimensions mécaniques correspondant au schéma de normalisation FAKRA. Un tel élément de connecteur satisfait à des exigences de qualité dimensionnelles et électriques et est interchangeable.The connection face advantageously has mechanical dimensions corresponding to the FAKRA normalization scheme. Such a connector element meets dimensional and electrical quality requirements and is interchangeable.

La partie de verrouillage porte avantageusement un nez de verrouillage, ladite partie s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe de la partie tubulaire du corps, et une partie de liaison reliant une extrémité longitudinale de lisolant et une extrémité longitudinale de la partie portant le nez de verrouillage, ladite partie de liaison s'étendant transversalement, notamment perpendiculairement à l'axe selon lequel s'étend l'isolant. Selon l'invention, l'isolant et le nez de verrouillage sont avantageusement regroupés au sein d'un insert réalisé dans une matière différente de celle du corps, contrairement à ce qui est divulgué dans la demande WO2009/074262 .The locking portion advantageously carries a locking nose, said portion extending parallel to the axis of the tubular portion of the body, and a connecting portion connecting a longitudinal end of an insulation and a longitudinal end of the portion carrying the nose of locking, said connecting portion extending transversely, in particular perpendicular to the axis along which the insulation extends. According to the invention, the insulation and the locking nose are advantageously grouped together in an insert made of a material different from that of the body, contrary to what is disclosed in the application WO2009 / 074262 .

L'insert peut être réalisé d'une seule pièce, c'est-à-dire que la partie de verrouillage et l'isolant peuvent n'appartenir qu'à une seule et même pièce.The insert can be made in one piece, that is to say that the locking portion and the insulation can belong to one and the same piece.

La paroi de la partie tubulaire du corps comporte avantageusement au moins un ajour et la partie portant le nez de verrouillage est avantageusement reçue dans ledit ajour. La partie portant le nez de verrouillage peut ainsi définir une portion de la surface extérieure de l'élément de connecteur.The wall of the tubular portion of the body advantageously comprises at least one aperture and the portion carrying the locking nose is advantageously received in said aperture. The portion with the locking nose can thus define a portion of the outer surface of the connector member.

Les moyens de codage mécanique sont avantageusement un ou plusieurs reliefs faisant saillie vers l'extérieur de la partie tubulaire du corps. A chaque type d'élément de connecteur sont par exemple associés des moyens de codage mécanique spécifiques, deux éléments de connecteur de type distinct différant par exemple par le nombre de reliefs, leurs dimensions ou encore leur position angulaire sur le pourtour de la partie tubulaire du corps. Ces moyens de codage mécaniques sont par exemple définis par la norme DIN 72594-1.The mechanical coding means are advantageously one or more reliefs protruding outwardly from the tubular part of the body. Each type of connector element is for example associated with specific mechanical coding means, two distinct type of connector elements differing for example by the number of reliefs, their dimensions or their angular position on the periphery of the tubular portion of the connector. body. These mechanical coding means are for example defined by the DIN 72594-1 standard.

Les moyens de codage mécaniques permettent d'identifier le type d'élément de connecteur et d'assurer son accouplement à un élément de connecteur complémentaire de même type.The mechanical coding means make it possible to identify the type of connector element and to ensure its coupling to a complementary connector element of the same type.

La partie portant le nez de verrouillage comporte avantageusement une paroi frontale venant en butée contre une paroi de l'ajour, la paroi frontale de la partie portant le nez de verrouillage comportant avantageusement une gorge et la paroi correspondante de l'ajour étant en partie biseautée de façon à ce que le biseau soit reçu dans la gorge lorsque le nez de verrouillage est en butée contre la paroi de l'ajour, Un tel système de butée empêche avantageusement le nez de verrouillage de se lever ou de plier sous des contraintes de traction, lorsque l'insert est au contact du corps.The portion carrying the locking nose advantageously comprises a front wall abutting against a wall of the aperture, the end wall of the portion carrying the locking nose advantageously having a groove and the corresponding wall of the aperture being partly bevelled so that the bevel is received in the groove when the locking nose is in abutment against the wall of the aperture, Such a stop system advantageously prevents the locking nose from rising or bending under tensile stresses when the insert is in contact with the body.

La paroi d'une cavité du corps et la surface extérieure de l'insert comportent avantageusement des moyens de détrompage coopérant lorsque insert est au contact du corps. Ces moyens de détrompage sont par exemple un ou plusieurs ergots portés par l'isolant et une ou plusieurs rainures ménagées dans la paroi de ladite cavité. La position angulaire de la rainure dans la paroi de la cavité est par exemple déterminée en fonction de la position angulaire des moyens de codage mécanique portés par la surface extérieure de la partie tubulaire.The wall of a cavity of the body and the outer surface of the insert advantageously comprise coding means cooperating when the insert is in contact with the body. These polarizing means are for example one or more lugs carried by the insulator and one or more grooves formed in the wall of said cavity. The angular position of the groove in the wall of the cavity is for example determined according to the angular position of the mechanical coding means carried by the outer surface of the tubular portion.

Similairement, la position angulaire sur l'isolant de l'ergot peut être déterminée en fonction de la position angulaire des moyens de codage mécanique portés par la surface extérieure de la partie tubulaire du corps dont l'insert est au contact. A une position angulaire des moyens de codage mécanique correspond par exemple une position angulaire spécifique de la rainure et de l'ergot, de façon à s'assurer que l'insert au contact du corps soit bien adapté audit corps. Ce détrompage mécanique permet de compléter le détrompage couleur de l'insert (ou du corps) habituellement utilisé.Similarly, the angular position on the insulator of the lug can be determined according to the angular position of the mechanical coding means carried by the outer surface of the tubular portion of the body whose insert is in contact. At an angular position of the mechanical coding means corresponds for example a specific angular position of the groove and the pin, so as to ensure that the insert in contact with the body is well adapted to said body. This mechanical coding makes it possible to complete the color coding of the insert (or the body) usually used.

Selon un premier mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, l'élément de connecteur est droit.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the connector element is straight.

Le corps et le contact de masse peuvent être réalisés en métal, ce qui peut permettre de renforcer la face de connexion de l'élément de connecteur par rapport aux éléments de connecteur dans lesquels cette face de connexion est définie par une partie en plastique du corps. En effet, avec un corps en métal, l'accouplement avec un élément de connecteur complémentaire ne présentant pas des moyens de codage mécanique adaptés ne déforme pas ladite face de connexion. Selon cet exemple, l'insert est rapporté sur le corps.The body and the mass contact can be made of metal, which can make it possible to strengthen the connection face of the connector element with respect to the connector elements in which this connection face is defined by a plastic part of the body . Indeed, with a metal body, the coupling with a complementary connector element not having suitable mechanical coding means does not deform said connection face. According to this example, the insert is attached to the body.

Le corps comporte avantageusement une plaque s'étendant transversalement, notamment perpendiculairement, par rapport à l'axe de la partie tubulaire, cette plaque présentant :

  • une première face en contact avec l'extrémité longitudinale arrière de la partie tubulaire et,
  • une deuxième face définissant une face arrière de l'élément de connecteur.
The body advantageously comprises a plate extending transversely, in particular perpendicularly, with respect to the axis of the tubular part, this plate having:
  • a first face in contact with the rear longitudinal end of the tubular part and,
  • a second face defining a rear face of the connector element.

Une telle plaque permet par exemple la fixation de l'élément de connecteur à une platine de connexion, par exemple une plaquette de circuit imprimé (PCB).Such a plate allows for example the attachment of the connector element to a connection board, for example a printed circuit board (PCB).

La plaque comporte avantageusement une cavité communiquant avec l'ajour ménagé dans la paroi de la partie tubulaire, la partie de liaison et les extrémités longitudinales reliées à la partie de liaison de l'isolant et de la partie portant le nez de verrouillage étant avantageusement reçues dans cette cavité. La présence d'une telle cavité permet le montage de l'insert sur le corps depuis l'arrière de l'élément de connecteur, c'est-à-dire dans le mode de réalisation décrit, depuis l'extrémité de ce dernier définie par la plaque.Advantageously, the plate comprises a cavity communicating with the aperture arranged in the wall of the tubular part, the connecting part and the longitudinal ends connected to the connecting part of the insulator and the part carrying the locking nose being advantageously received. in this cavity. The presence of such a cavity allows the mounting of the insert on the body from the back of the connector element, that is to say in the embodiment described, since the end of the latter defined by the plate.

Dans une variante, le corps, le contact de masse et l'insert sont réalisés par bi-injection de matières plastiques, la matière plastique définissant le corps et le contact de masse étant métallisée. Toujours selon cette variante, l'insert peut être surmoulé sur le corps et le contact de masse.In a variant, the body, the mass contact and the insert are made by bi-injection of plastics material, the plastic material defining the body and the mass contact being metallized. Still according to this variant, the insert can be overmoulded on the body and the mass contact.

Lorsque l'insert est réalisé en matière(s) plastique(s) un colorant peut être utilisé pour que l'insert présente une couleur fonction d'une application donnée.When the insert is made of plastic material (s) a dye can be used so that the insert has a color function of a given application.

La partie tubulaire comporte avantageusement une extrémité longitudinale arrière fermée définissant une face arrière de l'élément de connecteur. Cette extrémité longitudinale arrière permet par exemple le raccordement électrique et mécanique à une platine de connexion, par exemple une plaquette de circuit imprimé.The tubular portion advantageously comprises a closed rear longitudinal end defining a rear face of the connector element. This rear longitudinal end allows for example the electrical and mechanical connection to a connection board, for example a printed circuit board.

L'extrémité longitudinale arrière de la partie tubulaire du corps comporte avantageusement une cavité communiquant avec l'ajour ménagé dans la paroi de ladite partie tubulaire et la partie de liaison de la pièce ainsi que les extrémités longitudinales reliées à ladite partie de liaison de l'isolant et de la partie portant le nez de verrouillage peuvent être reçues dans cette cavité. L'extrémité longitudinale arrière de la partie tubulaire du corps comporte avantageusement au moins une fente distincte de la cavité. Cette extrémité arrière comporte par exemple plusieurs fentes s'étendant par exemple à une même distance radiale de l'axe longitudinal de la partie tubulaire du corps, deux fentes adjacentes étant séparées par un pont de matière.The rear longitudinal end of the tubular portion of the body advantageously comprises a cavity communicating with the aperture formed in the wall of said tubular portion and the connecting portion of the piece as well as the longitudinal ends connected to said connecting portion of the insulation and the part with the locking nose can be received in this cavity. The rear longitudinal end of the tubular part of the body advantageously comprises at least one slot distinct from the cavity. This rear end comprises for example several slots extending for example at the same radial distance from the longitudinal axis of the tubular portion of the body, two adjacent slots being separated by a material bridge.

Selon un autre mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, l'élément de connecteur coaxial est coudé.According to another embodiment of the invention, the coaxial connector element is bent.

Le corps et le contact de masse d'un élément de connecteur coudé sont avantageusement réalisés par injection de métal.The body and the ground contact of an angled connector element are advantageously made by metal injection.

Dans une variante, le corps, le contact de masse et l'insert d'un élément de connecteur coudé sont réalisés par bi-injection de matières plastiques, la matière plastique définissant le corps et le contact de masse étant métallisée.In a variant, the body, the ground contact and the insert of an angled connector element are made by bi-injection of plastics material, the plastic material defining the body and the mass contact being metallized.

Cet élément de connecteur peut comporter une extrémité arrière destinée à être raccordée électriquement et mécaniquement à une platine de connexion, par exemple à une plaquette de circuit imprimé.This connector element may comprise a rear end intended to be electrically and mechanically connected to a connection board, for example to a printed circuit board.

Le contact central d'un tel élément de connecteur coudé présente avantageusement une forme coudée et il est avantageusement réalisé d'une seule pièce.The central contact of such an angled connector element advantageously has a bent shape and is advantageously made in one piece.

L'élément de connecteur décrit ci-dessus peut constituer une fiche ou une prise.The connector element described above may constitute a plug or socket.

On a représenté à la figure 2 un élément de connecteur coaxial 10 selon le premier exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention. Cet élément de connecteur 10 est représenté depuis l'avant sur la figure 2 et depuis l'arrière sur la figure 3 et présente un axe X.We have shown figure 2 a coaxial connector element 10 according to the first embodiment of the invention. This connector element 10 is represented from the front on the figure 2 and from behind on the figure 3 and has an X axis.

Comme visible sur les figures 2 et 3, l'élément de connecteur 10 comporte un corps 11, un contact de masse 12 disposé à l'intérieur du corps 11, un isolant 13 de forme tubulaire et destiné à être reçu à l'intérieur du contact de masse 12, un logement traversant 14 étant ménagé à l'intérieur de l'isolant 13 pour recevoir un contact central 15.As visible on Figures 2 and 3 , the connector element 10 comprises a body 11, a ground contact 12 disposed inside the body 11, an insulator 13 of tubular form and intended to be received inside the ground contact 12, a housing through 14 being formed inside the insulator 13 to receive a central contact 15.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 à 4, le corps 11 s'étend longitudinalement selon l'axe X et peut comporter une partie tubulaire 16 s'étendant autour de l'axe X. Cette partie tubulaire présentant une extrémité longitudinale avant 17 et une extrémité longitudinale arrière 18.As can be seen on the Figures 2 to 4 , the body 11 extends longitudinally along the axis X and may comprise a tubular portion 16 extending around the axis X. This tubular portion having a front longitudinal end 17 and a rear longitudinal end 18.

L'extrémité longitudinale avant 17 est dans l'exemple illustré ouverte et définit une face de connexion avec un élément de connecteur complémentaire. L'extrémité longitudinale arrière 18 est raccordée à une plaque 19 s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'axe X et portant des plots 20, permettant notamment un raccordement mécanique à une platine de connexion, par exemple une plaquette de circuit imprimé.The front longitudinal end 17 is in the illustrated example open and defines a connection face with a complementary connector element. The rear longitudinal end 18 is connected to a plate 19 extending perpendicularly to the X axis and carrying pads 20, in particular allowing a mechanical connection to a connection board, for example a printed circuit board.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 à 4, la partie tubulaire 16 comporte, à proximité de son extrémité longitudinale avant 17 des moyens de codage mécanique 21 qui sont constitués par des reliefs faisant saillie vers l'extérieur du corps 11. Dans l'exemple illustré, deux reliefs en saillie 21 sont portés par la partie tubulaire 16 mais l'invention n'est pas limitée à un nombre particulier de tels reliefs.As can be seen on the Figures 2 to 4 , the tubular portion 16 comprises, near its longitudinal end before 17 mechanical coding means 21 which are constituted by protrusions protruding outwardly of the body 11. In the illustrated example, two projecting reliefs 21 are carried by the tubular part 16 but the invention is not limited to a particular number of such reliefs.

Ces reliefs 21 peuvent être normalisés et s'étendent par exemple parallèlement à l'axe X de la partie tubulaire 16 et peuvent être placés à une même distance de la face de connexion définie par l'extrémité longitudinale avant 17.These reliefs 21 may be standardized and extend for example parallel to the axis X of the tubular portion 16 and may be placed at the same distance from the connection face defined by the longitudinal end before 17.

Comme représenté sur les figures 2 à 4, la partie tubulaire 16 comporte un ajour 22 s'étendant depuis l'extrémité longitudinale arrière 18 de la partie tubulaire 16 sur moins de la longueur de cette dernière. Cet ajour 22 est par exemple ménagé sur toute l'épaisseur de la paroi de la partie tubulaire 16.As shown on Figures 2 to 4 , the tubular portion 16 has an aperture 22 extending from the rear longitudinal end 18 of the tubular portion 16 for less than the length of the latter. This opening 22 is for example formed over the entire thickness of the wall of the tubular portion 16.

Comme visible sur la figure 3, cet ajour 22 communique avec une cavité 23 ménagée dans la plaque 19. Cette cavité 23 s'étend depuis une région centrale de la plaque 19 vers l'extérieur de celle-ci, perpendiculairement à l'axe X de la partie tubulaire 12. La cavité 23 est dans l'exemple illustré ménagé sur toute l'épaisseur de la plaque 19.As visible on the figure 3 this opening 22 communicates with a cavity 23 formed in the plate 19. This cavity 23 extends from a central region of the plate 19 towards the outside thereof, perpendicular to the axis X of the tubular portion 12. The cavity 23 is in the illustrated example formed over the entire thickness of the plate 19.

Comme visible sur la figure 4, le contact de masse 12 est réalisé d'une seule pièce avec le corps 11, ce contact de masse 12 comportant par exemple une partie cylindrique creuse 25 coaxiale à la partie tubulaire 16 et reliée à cette dernière au niveau de la plaque 19. Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3 et 4, le contact de masse 12 comporte au niveau de la plaque 19 une partie en porte-à-faux 26 faisant saillie dans la cavité 23 et dont le rôle sera décrit par la suite.As visible on the figure 4 , the ground contact 12 is made in one piece with the body 11, this ground contact 12 comprising for example a hollow cylindrical portion 25 coaxial with the tubular portion 16 and connected thereto at the plate 19. As shown in FIG. we can see it on figures 3 and 4 , the ground contact 12 comprises at the plate 19 a cantilevered portion 26 protruding into the cavity 23 and whose role will be described later.

Selon ce premier exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le corps 11 et le contact de masse 12 sont réalisés en une seule pièce métallique, par exemple par moulage sous pression d'un alliage de cuivre, d'aluminium, de magnésium et, le cas échéant, de Zinc (zamak) ou par moulage par injection de métal (MIM).According to this first example of implementation of the invention, the body 11 and the ground contact 12 are made of a single metal part, for example by die-casting an alloy of copper, aluminum, magnesium and Zinc (Zamak) or Metal Injection Molding (MIM), if applicable.

Comme représenté sur les figures 2 à 5, l'élément de connecteur 10 comporte un insert 30 au contact du corps 11. Dans l'exemple des figures 2 à 12, l'insert 30 est rapporté sur le corps 11. Cet insert 30 comporte une partie tubulaire définissant l'isolant 13. L'isolant 13 est relié au niveau de son extrémité longitudinale arrière 31 à une partie de liaison 32 s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'axe X de l'isolant, cette dernière étant par ailleurs reliée à une partie 33 portant un nez de verrouillage 34, ladite partie 33 s'étendant parallèlement à l'isolant 13. Comme représenté, cette partie de liaison 32 peut comporter une cavité traversante 36 dont le rôle sera décrit plus loin.As shown on Figures 2 to 5 the connector element 10 has an insert 30 in contact with the body 11. In the example of Figures 2 to 12 , the insert 30 is attached to the body 11. This insert 30 has a tubular portion defining the insulator 13. The insulator 13 is connected at its rear longitudinal end 31 to a connecting portion 32 extending perpendicularly to the X axis of the insulator, the latter also being connected to a portion 33 carrying a locking nose 34, said portion 33 extending parallel to the insulator 13. As shown, this connecting portion 32 may comprise a through cavity 36 whose role will be described later.

L'insert 30 est par exemple réalisé par moulage de matière plastique à laquelle peut être ajouté un colorant et l'insert peut être configuré pour être encliqueté, monté à force ou serti sur le corps 11.The insert 30 is for example made by molding plastic material to which a dye can be added and the insert can be configured to be snapped, forcibly mounted or crimped on the body 11.

Le contact central 15 est par exemple réalisé par usinage, selon la technique de découpé-roulé ou encore usiné puis surmoulé avec l'isolant 13. Ce contact central 15 est reçu dans la cavité 14 traversant l'isolant 13 et peut être maintenu à l'intérieur de cette cavité à l'aide de harpons 35 ou surmoulé sur l'isolant 13.The central contact 15 is for example made by machining, according to the technique of cut-rolled or machined and then overmolded with the insulator 13. This central contact 15 is received in the cavity 14 passing through the insulator 13 and can be maintained at the same time. interior of this cavity using harpoons 35 or overmolded on the insulation 13.

Lors du montage de l'insert 30 sur le corps 11, on introduit l'insert 30 depuis l'arrière de l'élément de connecteur 10 à travers la cavité 23. L'isolant 13 est reçu à l'intérieur de la partie cylindrique creuse 25 du contact de masse 12, tandis que la partie de liaison 32 est reçue dans la cavité 23 et que la partie 33 portant le nez de verrouillage 34 repose dans l'ajour 22, définissant une portion de la surface extérieure de l'élément de connecteur 10. Une fois l'insert 30 en place, la partie en porte-à-faux 26 est, comme représenté sur la figure 6, reçue dans la cavité traversante 36 ménagée dans la partie de liaison 32.During assembly of the insert 30 on the body 11, the insert 30 is introduced from the rear of the connector element 10 through the cavity 23. The insulator 13 is received inside the cylindrical part hollow of the ground contact 12, while the connecting portion 32 is received in the cavity 23 and the portion 33 carrying the locking nose 34 rests in the aperture 22, defining a portion of the outer surface of the element 10. When the insert 30 is in place, the cantilevered portion 26 is, as shown in FIG. figure 6 , received in the through cavity 36 formed in the connecting portion 32.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 5, le nez de verrouillage 34 peut comporter une paroi frontale 38 et l'ajour 22 peut comporter une paroi 39 destinée à venir en contact contre la paroi frontale 38 pour constituer un système de butée. La paroi 39 de l'ajour 22 est par exemple en partie biseautée et la paroi frontale 38 du nez du verrouillage 34 définit une gorge pour recevoir le biseau de la paroi 39.As can be seen on the figure 5 , the locking nose 34 may comprise a front wall 38 and the opening 22 may comprise a wall 39 intended to come into contact against the front wall 38 to form a stop system. The wall 39 of the aperture 22 is for example partly bevelled and the end wall 38 of the locking nose 34 defines a groove for receiving the bevel of the wall 39.

On a représenté aux figures 7 à 12 des exemples d'éléments de connecteur coaxiaux 10 selon le premier mode de réalisation qui diffèrent de ceux représentés aux figures 1 à 6 par le fait qu'ils comportent un système de détrompage mécanique pour l'introduction de l'insert 30 dans le corps 11.Representatives Figures 7 to 12 examples of coaxial connector elements 10 according to the first embodiment which differ from those shown in Figures 1 to 6 in that they comprise a mechanical coding system for introducing the insert 30 into the body 11.

Comme représenté à la figure 7, ce système de détrompage peut être constitué par un ergot 40 porté par l'isolant 13 au niveau de son extrémité longitudinale arrière et par une rainure 41 ménagée dans la paroi de la cavité 23.As represented in figure 7 , this coding system may consist of a lug 40 carried by the insulator 13 at its rear longitudinal end and a groove 41 formed in the wall of the cavity 23.

Les positions angulaires de l'ergot 40 et de la rainure 41 peuvent être choisies en fonction du type d'élément de connecteur 10 dont l'insert 30 fait partie. Par exemple, le corps représenté à la figure 8 comporte des moyens de codage mécanique 21 caractéristiques d'un codage de type B et, pour un tel type de codage, la position angulaire par rapport à l'axe X de la rainure 41 est telle que représentée aux figures 7 et 9.The angular positions of the lug 40 and the groove 41 can be chosen according to the type of connector element 10 of which the insert 30 is part. For example, the body represented in figure 8 comprises mechanical coding means 21 characteristic of a type B coding and, for such a type of coding, the angular position with respect to the axis X of the groove 41 is as shown in FIGS. Figures 7 and 9 .

Un insert 30 destiné à venir au contact d'un corps pour élément de connecteur de type B peut alors comporter un ergot 40 à une position angulaire par rapport à l'axe X adaptée pour coopérer avec la rainure 41, de façon à s'assurer que l'insert 30 est bien approprié à un élément de connecteur de type B. Un tel système de détrompage peut, en plus de l'emploi éventuel d'une couleur spécifique à un type de codage pour la réalisation de l'insert 30, diminuer encore le risque d'assembler un corps 11 et un insert de type différent.An insert 30 intended to come into contact with a body for a type B connector element may then comprise a lug 40 at an angular position relative to the axis X adapted to cooperate with the groove 41, so as to ensure that the insert 30 is well suited to a type B connector element. Such a foolproof system may, in addition to the possible use of a color specific to a type of coding for producing the insert 30, further reduce the risk of assembling a body 11 and an insert of different type.

Dans l'exemple des figures 10 à 12, le corps 11 comporte des moyens de codage mécanique 21 caractéristiques d'un codage de type K et la position angulaire par rapport à l'axe X des moyens de codage mécanique 21 d'une part et de la rainure 41 d'autre part diffèrent de celles décrites en référence aux figures 7 à 9. Ainsi, l'insert 30 de la figure 6 ne peut être introduit dans la cavité 23 du corps 11 représenté à la figure 10, du fait de la différence de position angulaire de son ergot 40 par rapport à la rainure 41. Un insert adapté à une telle introduction est représenté sur les figures 10 et 12.In the example of Figures 10 to 12 the body 11 comprises mechanical coding means 21 characteristic of a type K coding and the angular position with respect to the X axis of the mechanical coding means 21 on the one hand and the groove 41 on the other hand differ those described with reference to Figures 7 to 9 . Thus, the insert 30 of the figure 6 can not be introduced into the cavity 23 of the body 11 shown in FIG. figure 10 , due to the difference in angular position of its lug 40 relative to the groove 41. An insert adapted to such an introduction is shown on the Figures 10 and 12 .

On va maintenant décrire en référence à la figure 13 un élément de connecteur coaxial 10 selon un deuxième exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.We will now describe with reference to the figure 13 a coaxial connector element 10 according to a second example of implementation of the invention.

Similairement à ce qui est décrit en référence aux figures 2 à 12, le corps 11 et le contact de masse 12 sont réalisés d'une seule pièce, le corps 11 comportant une partie tubulaire 16 dont l'extrémité longitudinale avant 17 est ouverte et définit une face de connexion. Contrairement à l'exemple décrit précédent, le corps 11, le contact de masse 12 et l'insert 30 sont réalisés par bi-injection de matière plastiques. En variante, l'insert 30 est surmoulé sur le corps 11 et sur le contact de masse 12. L'insert 30 est par exemple réalisé en une matière plastique non métallisable avec un colorant, notamment un polyamide chargé de fibres de verre. Le corps 11 et le contact de masse 12 sont réalisés en une matière plastique métallisable, par exemple en polyamide chargé fibres de verre avec des additifs métalliques. Les surfaces intérieure et/ou extérieure de la partie cylindrique creuse 25 du contact de masse 12 sont par exemple métallisées. Un tel élément de connecteur 10 présente avantageusement un poids réduit.Similar to what is described with reference to Figures 2 to 12 , the body 11 and the ground contact 12 are made in one piece, the body 11 having a tubular portion 16 whose front longitudinal end 17 is open and defines a connection face. Unlike the example described above, the body 11, the mass contact 12 and the insert 30 are made by bi-injection of plastics material. Alternatively, the insert 30 is overmolded on the body 11 and on the ground contact 12. The insert 30 is for example made of a non-metallizable plastic with a dye, in particular a polyamide loaded with glass fibers. The body 11 and the ground contact 12 are made of a metallizable plastic material, for example polyamide filled glass fibers with metal additives. The inner and / or outer surfaces of the hollow cylindrical portion 25 of the ground contact 12 are, for example, metallized. Such a connector element 10 advantageously has a reduced weight.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 13 à 16, l'extrémité longitudinale arrière 18 de la partie tubulaire 16 peut être fermée, à l'exception d'une cavité 23 ménagée dans cette dernière, similairement à la cavité 23 ménagée dans la plaque 19 décrite en référence aux figures 2 à 12.As can be seen on the Figures 13 to 16 , the rear longitudinal end 18 of the tubular portion 16 may be closed, with the exception of a cavity 23 formed in the latter, similarly to the cavity 23 formed in the plate 19 described with reference to the Figures 2 to 12 .

Une pluralité de fentes 45 est ménagée au niveau de l'extrémité longitudinale arrière 18, ces fentes 45 étant par exemple situées sur un même rayon de la partie tubulaire 12 et ne communiquant pas avec la cavité 23. Deux fentes adjacentes 45 peuvent être séparées par un pont de matière 48.A plurality of slots 45 is provided at the rear longitudinal end 18, these slots 45 being for example located on the same radius of the tubular portion 12 and not communicating with the cavity 23. Two adjacent slots 45 may be separated by a bridge of material 48.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 14, ces fentes 45 sont ménagées sur toute l'épaisseur de l'extrémité arrière 18 de la partie tubulaire 16, de sorte que l'on peut voir à travers le corps 11 lorsque l'on regarde selon l'axe X. L'extrémité arrière 18 de la partie tubulaire peut encore comporter des plots 20 similaires à ceux décrits en référence aux figures 2 à 12.As can be seen on the figure 14 these slots 45 are formed over the entire thickness of the rear end 18 of the tubular portion 16, so that one can see through the body 11 when looking along the X axis. The end rear 18 of the tubular portion may further comprise pins 20 similar to those described with reference to Figures 2 to 12 .

Un élément de connecteur selon le deuxième exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention décrit en référence aux figures 13 à 16 peut comporter un système de butée constitué par une paroi frontale du nez de verrouillage et une paroi frontale de l'ajour, comme décrit en référence à la figure 5.A connector element according to the second embodiment of the invention is described with reference to Figures 13 to 16 may comprise a stop system constituted by a front wall of the locking nose and a front wall of the aperture, as described with reference to the figure 5 .

Un élément de connecteur selon le deuxième exemple de mise en oeuvre peut comporter un système de détrompage mécanique tel que décrit en référence aux figures 7 à 12.A connector element according to the second exemplary embodiment may comprise a mechanical coding system as described with reference to FIGS. Figures 7 to 12 .

On va maintenant décrire en référence aux figures 17 et 18 un élément de connecteur selon un troisième exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.We will now describe with reference to Figures 17 and 18 a connector element according to a third example of implementation of the invention.

Contrairement aux éléments de connecteur décrits en référence aux figures 2 à 16 qui sont des éléments de connecteur droits, l'élément de connecteur 10 des figures 17 et 18 est coudé.Unlike the connector elements described with reference to Figures 2 to 16 which are straight connector elements, the connector element 10 of the Figures 17 and 18 is bent.

Le corps 11 est par exemple réalisé d'une seule pièce métallique avec le contact de masse 12, similairement à ce qui est décrit en référence aux figures 2 à 12. En variante, le corps 11, le contact de masse 12 et l'insert 30 sont réalisés par bi-injection de matières plastiques, la matière plastique définissant le corps 11 et le contact de masse 12 étant métallisée, comme décrit en référence aux figures 13 à 16.The body 11 is for example made of a single metal piece with the mass contact 12, similarly to what is described with reference to the Figures 2 to 12 . In a variant, the body 11, the mass contact 12 and the insert 30 are made by bi-injection of plastics, the plastic defining the body 11 and the mass contact 12 being metallized, as described with reference to FIGS. Figures 13 to 16 .

Dans l'exemple décrit, le corps 11 comprend une partie tubulaire 16 similaire à celle décrite en référence aux figures 1 à 11 et s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal X, cette partie tubulaire étant raccordée au niveau de son extrémité longitudinale arrière 18 à un boîtier 50 s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe X de la partie tubulaire du corps 11 et présentant une section rectangulaire. Ce boîtier 50 comporte selon l'axe X une extrémité arrière 51 opposée à l'extrémité 52 par laquelle il est raccordé à l'extrémité arrière 18 de la partie tubulaire et une face inférieure 53 définissant l'extrémité arrière du corps 11.In the example described, the body 11 comprises a tubular portion 16 similar to that described with reference to the Figures 1 to 11 and extending along a longitudinal axis X, this tubular portion being connected at its rear longitudinal end 18 to a housing 50 extending parallel to the axis X of the tubular portion of the body 11 and having a rectangular section. This housing 50 comprises, along the axis X, a rear end 51 opposite the end 52 through which it is connected to the rear end 18 of the tubular part and a lower face 53 defining the rear end of the body 11.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 18, une cavité 55 est ménagée sur toute la longueur du boîtier 50, cette cavité s'étendant, lorsque le boîtier est vu dans un plan de coupe perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal X dans une zone centrale et débouchant vers l'extérieur au niveau de la face inférieure 53 du boîtier 50 pour permettre le passage du contact central 15, par exemple d'un contact central coudé réalisé d'une seule pièce, et au niveau de la face supérieure 54 du boîtier 50.As can be seen on the figure 18 a cavity 55 is formed over the entire length of the housing 50, this cavity extending, when the housing is seen in a sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X in a central zone and opening outwards at the level of the lower face 53 of the housing 50 to allow the passage of the central contact 15, for example a bent central contact made in one piece, and at the upper face 54 of the housing 50.

Lorsque l'insert 30 est à rapporter sur le corps 11, l'insert est introduit depuis l'extrémité longitudinale arrière 51 du boîtier 50, puis est déplacé dans la cavité 55 jusqu'à venir en butée dans l'ajour 22.When the insert 30 is to report to the body 11, the insert is introduced from the rear longitudinal end 51 of the housing 50, then is moved into the cavity 55 to abut in the aperture 22.

Une fois l'insert 30 au contact du corps 11, un capot en métal découpé 56 peut être disposé afin d'obturer la cavité 55 au niveau de l'extrémité longitudinale arrière 51 du boîtier 50. Le cas échéant, ce capot 56 peut contribuer à maintenir en place l'insert 33 sur le corps 11 et à fermer la ligne électrique.Once the insert 30 in contact with the body 11, a cut metal cover 56 can be arranged to close the cavity 55 at the rear longitudinal end 51 of the housing 50. Where appropriate, the cover 56 can contribute to hold in place the insert 33 on the body 11 and to close the power line.

Un élément de connecteur selon le troisième exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention décrit en référence aux figures 17 et 18 peut comporter un système de butée constitué par une paroi frontale du nez de verrouillage et une paroi frontale de l'ajour, comme décrit en référence à la figure 5.A connector element according to the third exemplary embodiment of the invention described with reference to Figures 17 and 18 may comprise a stop system constituted by a front wall of the locking nose and a front wall of the aperture, as described with reference to the figure 5 .
