Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connection device.
  • a connection device typically includes a male connector and a female connector.
  • the male connector has male pins for insertion into receptor sockets of the female connector.
  • connection device is known from the document US 6,394,842 .
  • This device comprises a male connector with ground pins and a female connector comprising a shielded outer body provided with inwardly facing flexible lamellae intended to come into contact with the ground pins of the male connector when the male connector is inserted into the male connector. the female connector.
  • This solution makes it possible to achieve the ground connection between the male connector and the female connector without using a specific part, but it does not make it possible to overcome the problems of crosstalk between the conductors. It is indeed known that it is necessary to preserve the integrity of the signals transmitted in the communication systems.
  • crosstalk causing a capacitive and inductive coupling between the signals transmitted on different conductors.
  • a signal transmitted over a conductor is thus likely to interfere with and disturb a signal transmitted on a nearby conductor. This phenomenon is all the more accentuated as the drivers are close.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a connection device protected against electromagnetic radiation from outside and to limit the emission of such radiation to the outside. Furthermore, the object of the invention is also to propose a specific architecture for making a ground connection between the male connector and the female connector without using a specific piece and while avoiding the phenomena of crosstalk between the ground conductors and other drivers.
  • the shielding element When the male connector is connected to the female connector, as its ground pins come into contact on the outside of the shielding element, the shielding element is located between the ground pins and the other pins and allows make screen. The signals conveyed between the two connectors are not disturbed by the disturbing signals carried by the ground pins.
  • the number of contact pins of the male connector is different from the number of receiving sockets of the female connector.
  • the number of contact pins of the male connector is greater than the number of receiving sockets of the female connector.
  • the shielding element comprises a contact strip on which is connected the ground pin.
  • the shielding element comprises at least one member welded to the mass of a printed circuit.
  • the invention also relates to a man-machine dialogue system comprising a first module provided with human-machine dialogue means and a second module equipped with processing means, the first module being connected to the second module via a connection device as defined above.
  • the invention relates to a connection device comprising a male connector 1 and a female connector 2.
  • the male connector 1 has several male contact pins 10 all identical organized in rows and the female connector 2 comprises a body provided with several sleeves (not visible) receiving each intended to receive a pin 10 of the male contact male connector 1.
  • connection device of the invention is for example intended to be used in a human-machine dialogue system.
  • This type of system comprises for example a first module M1 equipped with man-machine dialogue means such as for example a touch screen 4 and / or buttons and a second module M2 including processing means.
  • the first module M1 and the second module M2 are for example assembled together on either side of a wall P, such as for example the door of a cabinet, through an opening 3.
  • a wall P such as for example the door of a cabinet
  • the electrical connection between the first module M1 and the second module M2 is thus achieved by means of the connection device of the invention passing through the opening 3 made on the wall P.
  • the mechanical means of attachment not shown can also be provided to assemble the first module M1 on the second module M2.
  • the first module M1 thus carries the male or female connector of the device and the second module M2 carries the complementary connector, respectively female or male.
  • each contact pin 10 is soldered to a printed circuit CI1 intended to be housed in the first module M1.
  • each receiving socket is soldered to a printed circuit CI2 intended to be housed in the second module M2.
  • the body of the female connector 2 is wrapped with an outer shielding element 20 of metallic material.
  • This shielding element 20 makes it possible to protect the connection device against electromagnetic radiation coming from the outside and to limit the emission by the pins 10 and sockets, electromagnetic radiation to the outside of the device.
  • This shielding element 20 is for example composed of two half-shells 200a, 200b assembled around the body of the female connector 2. Each half-shell 200a, 200b has an ear 201a, 201b intended to be welded to the circuit ground printed C12. Furthermore, the shielding element 20 is provided with at least one flexible strip 202 (two flexible strips in the accompanying figures).
  • the invention has the particularity of using one of the pins 10 of the male connector to achieve the ground connection between the printed circuit CI1 of the first module and the printed circuit CI2 of the second module. Indeed, among the identical male contact pins of the male connector 1, at least one of them (two pins in the appended figures), called the ground pin 102, is used to connect the printed circuit CI1 to the via the shield element 20. For this, the ground pin 102 is intended to come into contact with the flexible strip 202 of the shielding element 20 when the male connector 1 is connected to the female connector 2.
  • the pin of mass 102 thus does not sink into a socket of the female connector 2 but comes to rest on the flexible strip 202 located outside the body of the female connector 2 when connecting the male connector 1 on the female connector 2
  • the male contact pins 10 are thus arranged on the male connector 1 to allow one of its pins 10, that is to say the ground pin 102, to rub the outside of the connector element. shielding and so come into contact with the flexible strip 202 of this shielding element 20.
  • the invention therefore consists in producing on the male connector a particular arrangement of the contact pins so as to leave it alone on a row at minus one of the pins 10, that is to say the ground pin 102.
  • This pin is then positioned on the male connector so as not to cooperate with a receiving socket of the female connector.
  • This arrangement can be achieved for example by providing a male connector having a number of pins 10 which is different from the number of complementary receiving sockets of the female connector 2.
  • the number of pins 10 of the male connector 1 may be greater than the number of receptacles for receiving the female connector, thus leaving at least one pin 10 free, ie the ground pin 102.
  • the number of pins 10 of the male connector may be smaller than the number of sockets of receipt of the female connector 2. In this case, certain pins 10 of the male connector are removed to leave at least one contact pin 10 alone in a row (see figure 1 ).
  • Other configurations and solutions can of course be considered.
  • the solution of the invention thus makes it possible to achieve a mass bond without using a specific part, just by adapting the arrangement of the pins 10 of the male connector 1.
