Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a low voltage connector for use in a communication system.
  • the invention relates more precisely to an RJ-type connector, more particularly of the RJ45 type.
  • the invention also relates to the method of mounting the connector of the invention on a cable.
  • An RJ-type connector is often in two parts.
  • the first part has insulation displacement contacts.
  • the second part comprises a wire organizer support having several locations each for receiving a cable wire. When the first part is assembled on the second part, each wire of the cable positioned at a location of the support is stripped in an insulation displacement contact of the first part so as to establish an electrical contact for each wire of the cable.
  • Patent applications EP2061118 , WO0150548 and US6371794 describe such connectors in two parts.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a connector whose mounting is easy and certainly avoids the disengagement of the son of the organizer support.
  • the locking member is pivotable between an open position and a closed position and articulated on a fixed portion about a second axis of rotation perpendicular to the first axis of rotation.
  • the second part comprises means for holding the locking member in the closed position on the fixed part, said holding means comprising a hook adapted to cooperate with a complementary closure element.
  • the second axis of rotation is parallel to the path of passage of the cable through the opening.
  • the locking member comprises a clamping piece movable in translation transversely with respect to the passage path of the cable and assembled on a spring.
  • the opening has the shape of a slot for receiving the cable in a translation movement parallel to its axis, and whose mouth is open or closed according to the position of the locking member.
  • the second part comprises a metal part arranged on the wire-organizing support for receiving the drain of the cable and in electrical contact with the metal material body of the second part.
  • the closure member comprises a slot adapted to cooperate with a hook made on the first part.
  • the hook is operable in pivoting with the help of a button.
  • a main axis (A) is defined by the insertion direction of the connector of the invention in a corresponding connector, this axis passing through the front and the rear of the connector.
  • the low-voltage connector according to the invention is of the Jack type, more precisely of RJ type (for "Registered Jack"), to be used in a communication system operating for example under the Ethernet protocol.
  • the connector according to the invention is of the female type.
  • the female connector according to the invention has two distinct configurations depending on whether the cable to which it is connected is shielded (STP for "Shielded Twisted Pair” or FTP for "Foiled Twisted Pair”) or unshielded (UTP for "Unshielded Twisted Pair” ).
  • STP shielded
  • FTP Flexible Twisted Pair
  • UTP unshielded Twisted Pair
  • the description below is for both versions of the connector, the STP version being represented on the Figures 1 to 6 and the UTP version on Figures 7 to 9 .
  • the connector body is made of metallic material while in the UTP version, the connector body is made of plastic material.
  • the connector comprises a body consisting of two parts 1, 2, a first portion 1 and a second portion 2 interconnected by a pivot connection formed around a first axis of rotation (R1) perpendicular to the main axis (A).
  • R1 first axis of rotation
  • the first part 1 has a front face 10 forming a housing or imprint (not visible) for receiving a complementary male connector (not shown).
  • Flexible slats eight in number in an RJ45 connector, are provided in the housing. These flexible strips are able to deform elastically when plugging the complementary male connector to establish electrical contact with tracks formed on the complementary male connector.
  • the first part 1 supports a printed circuit having electrical tracks connected on the one hand to insulation displacement contacts 11 (also called “insulating displacement contacts” or IDC) soldered to the printed circuit and on the other hand to the flexible lamellae located in the connector housing.
  • insulation displacement contacts 11 also called “insulating displacement contacts” or IDC
  • the insulation displacement contacts 11 are, for an RJ45 connector, organized in two rows of four contacts (as in the accompanying figures) or four rows of two contacts and are formed of pins each having a slot adapted to receive a wire of a cable and strip it to establish the electrical contact.
  • the insulation displacement contacts 11 rise along an axis parallel to the main axis (A) and perpendicular to the first axis of rotation (R1) of the pivot connection between the two parts 1, 2 of the connector.
  • the second part 2 comprises for its part a fixed part 23 and a locking member 22 which is movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the fixed part 23.
  • the fixed part 23 comprises a support 20 organizing the son of the cable consisting of a molded plastic part forming a plurality of pads defining between them several slots 200 each constituting a location for receiving a cable wire.
  • the support 20 has two rows of locations, with a location corresponding to each insulation displacement contact 11 present on the first part 1 of the connector. Prior to their connection with the insulation displacement contacts 11, the son of the cable are distributed on the support 20 organizer, each locked in a slot 200 thereof.
  • a metal part 3 ( figures 3 and 5 ) is arranged on the wire organizer support 20 to receive the drain of the cable.
  • This metal part 3 is in electrical contact with the metal material body of the second part 2 to ensure the electrical continuity of the cable drain.
  • the metallic contact between the drain and the first part 1 can be achieved via the second part 2 when the latter is closed on the first part 1 or directly via the part 3 which comes into contact with the first part 1 when the connector is closed.
  • the fixed part 23 of the second part of the connector is constituted by the support 20 son and therefore does not include an outer body supporting the support 20 son organizer as in the STP version.
  • the fixed part 23 and the son-arranging support 20 are therefore one and the same piece.
  • the second portion 2 When the locking member 22 is in the closed position, the second portion 2 has an opening 21 forming the passage path of the cable.
  • the opening 21 is formed at the rear of the connector along the main axis (A) when the connector is closed. This opening is made so as to open between the two rows of pads of the support 20 son organizer. The cable wires thus access the wire organizer 20 from the back of the connector.
  • the opening 21 is made so as to end substantially in the center of the yarn support 20 to facilitate the distribution of the son of the cable to their respective slot 200 on the support 20.
  • the opening 21 is made in the form of a wide slot opening on the outside and whose mouth can be closed or open according to the position of the locking member 22.
  • the locking member 22 is in the open position ( figures 4 and 9 ), it is thus possible to slide the cable through the opening 21 by a simple translation in the plane including the axis of the opening.
  • the locking member 22 is intended to grip the periphery of the cable locally against the edges of the opening 21.
  • the locking member 22 makes it possible to secure and lock the cable on the connector before the distribution of the cables. son on the wire organizer support 20.
  • the locking member 22 is for example rotatable relative to the fixed part 23 about a second axis of rotation (R2, figure 2 ) perpendicular to the first axis of rotation (R1) and parallel to the main axis (A) when the connector is closed.
  • the connector being in the open position ( Figures 3, 4 and 9 ), once the cable is positioned through the opening 21, the locking member 22 can be brought into its closed position to lock the cable on the second part 2 of the connector. With the connector still open, the installer can then separate the wires from the cable and distribute them on the wire organizer.
  • the locking member 22 comprises for example indexing means allowing it to park in the open position.
  • the second part 2 of the connector comprises means for holding the locking member 22 in the closed position.
  • these holding means are for example in the form of a hook 230 ( figure 2 ) pivoting made on the fixed part 23 and a complementary closure element 220 ( figures 4 and 6 ) on the locking member 22.
  • the hook 230 is pivotally actuatable by the installer with a pivoting knob 231 ( figure 2 )
  • the holding means in the closed position of the locking member 22 comprise for example a hook formed on the locking member 22 cooperating with a complementary member of the fixed part 23 and can disengage from this complementary member by elastic deformation.
  • the locking member 22 comprises for example a clamping piece 221 mounted on a spring 222, for clamping the cable against the edges of the opening 21 while adapting to the thickness cable.
  • This piece may for example be metallic or have a metallized bearing surface on the cable so as to make a annular recovery 360 ° on the STP cable screen.
  • this clamping piece 221 is for example replaced by a clamping element 223 of flexible material of rubber type.
  • the piece 223 more specifically comprises a tongue of flexible material which acts, once the locking member 22 closed, as a brake on the cable.
  • the connector also comprises a closing system of the connector for locking the first part 1 on the second part 2.
  • This system is for example composed of a closure member, for example a hook 12, made on the first part 1 and a complementary closure member, for example a slot 24, made on the second part 2.
  • the invention has the particularity that the closure member of the second part 2, that is to say the slot 24, is formed on the locking member 22. In this way, the connector can be closed and locked only when the locking member 22 is itself in the closed position. Thus, the installer is prompted to first lock the cable on the second part 2 of the connector before folding this second part 2 on the first part 1 to close the connector.
  • the installer can distribute the son on the son organizer support 20 avoiding any risk of pulling the cable and any inadvertent disengagement of the son of their locations on the support 20.
  • the connector is not closed because the locking member 22 has remained in the open position.
  • a button 4 can be provided to disengage the hook 12 of the slot 24 and thus open the connector by pivoting the second part 2 relative to the first part 1 or vice versa.
