Definitions

  • the twisted cable type comprises pair-wise twisted wires and a cable may comprise one or more pairs of twisted wires. These pairs are surrounded by an outer cover of either plastic or rubber. In order to further enhance the cable's immunity to interference it can be equipped with an electrical conductive covering usually designated "shield".
  • the twisted pair is split apart, and the twisted structure is interrupted near the joint/termination.
  • the wires of the pair are distributed to individual connectors which in turn are secured in said terminal block or connected to a corresponding complementary connector.
  • This interrupt in the twisted structure will impair the immunity against interference, which typically manifests itself in problems with crosstalk that occurs or increases. The problem becomes even larger if the cable is arranged with a shield that must be interrupted at the termination in order for the twisted pair to be connected to the terminal block.
  • the clamping ring When the seat for the clamping ring is arranged in the sleeve, the clamping ring will in one direction form an axial stop for all parts of the connector.
  • the cable terminator 4 is operable for arresting the wires 2 of the twisted pair relative each other and relative the connector 3.
  • the cable terminator 4 separable in at least two parts, one front part 9 and one rear part 10.
  • the cable terminator 4 is further formed to arrest the sleeve couplings 8 for further connection.
  • the contact sleeves 20 On the front part 18 of the spreader is contact sleeves 20 arranged around the contact pins 19.
  • the contact sleeves 20 is operable for guiding a mating connector at the event of coupling, it also fulfills the function to electrically couple the shield 7 of the cable to the shield of the mating connector.
  • the contact sleeves 20 are connected to the sleeve 24 by means of a locking washer 21 that is removable connected to the sleeve 24 and holds the contact sleeves 20 in position by means of a flange 22 at the foot of the contact sleeves 20, and the locking washer 21 has a corresponding recess 40 formed around a through hole arranged for the contact sleeve 20.
  • the invention can therefore in a second aspect nevertheless be considered as a signal transmission device between coupled rail vehicles, wherein the above specified connector is dimensioned to cooperate with a terminal block arranged to be carried on a draft gear intended for automatic coupling of rail vehicles.
  • a terminal block is preferably formed as a block made of a non-conducting material, such as a polymer material, and comprises seats for the connectors formed as through holes arranged on rows and columns in form of a perpendicular matrix.
  • the contact seats are formed for insertion of the contact sleeves 20 of the connector from the back side of the terminal block.
