Then, by screwing the members 13, in each housing 22, for each contact member 12, the end of a cable such as 23 or 24 is pushed by the rod 14 towards the toothing 28, and gradually, while continuing the screwing of the members 13, the toothing 28 perforates the insulating sheath 26 of the cable such as 23 or 24 and then enters the conductive core 25 of this cable. When the penetration of the toothing 28 is sufficient, in practice when a predetermined tightening torque is reached, the frangible portion 34 breaks.

  • the stirrup 50 has a sole 53 in the form of a convex curved strip on the side of rows of teeth 29, carrying a row of teeth 29 along each of its two longitudinal edges and carrying at each end a hooking tab 54 to the body. 11.
  • Each of the rows of teeth 29 comprises a central interruption 55 with a toothed block 56 between one of the attachment tabs 54 and the central interruption 55 and another toothed block 56 between the other attachment tab 54 and the central interruption 55.
  • toothed blocks 56 are the mirror image of one another.
  • Each toothed block 56 is relatively rigid, that is to say, it retains its shape when a cable such as 23 or 24 is pressed against it.
  • the sole 53 comprises at the central interruption 55, in the vicinity of each toothed block 56, a notch 57.
  • Each of the two portions 58 of the sole 53 located between two opposite notches 57 is narrower than the rest of the sole 53.
  • the head spacer 51 and the tail spacer 52 are each oriented in the longitudinal direction of the housing 22. They project from one side and the other of the sole 53 at the central interruption 55.
  • the head spacer 51 has at its distal end a fork 59.
  • the tail spacer forms at its distal end a tenon of the same contour as the mortise 60 delimited by the fork 59.
  • the spacers 51 and 52 are provided to allow a series of contact members 12 arranged one after the other to have, for two adjacent contact members 12, the toothed stirrups 50 at a predetermined distance from each other. the other, as we see on the figure 8 .
  • stirrups 50 of two adjacent contact members 12 are correctly positioned when the tenon formed by the tail spacer 52 of one of the contact members 12 is fully engaged in the mortise 60 delimited by the fork 59 located at distal end of the head spacer of the other contact member 12.
  • the body 11 has, for each housing 22, two longitudinal grooves 65 each recessed relative to the inner surface 66 of the body 11 which laterally delimits the housing 22.
  • the two grooves 65 are the mirror image of one another with respect to a plane on which the clamping members 13 or the through holes 27 are centered (see more particularly the Figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the connector 10 comprises three contact members 12 arranged relative to each other as shown on the figure 8 , with the two hooking lugs 54 of each contact member 12 which are engaged in a groove 65 respectively.
  • each contact member 12 is attached to the body 11 by its two lugs 54 with its two rows of teeth 29 which are arranged between the latching lugs 54.
  • the deepest contact member 12 (the most right-hand member) has the distal end of its head spacer 51 against the partition wall 21 of the body 11.
  • This provides the deepest contact member 12 with longitudinal positioning relative to the body 11 such that its toothed caliper 50 is at the right of a threaded rod 14.
  • each contact member 12 has its toothed caliper 50 in line with a threaded rod 14.
  • the establishment of the contact members 12 in the body 11 is effected by engaging each contact member 12, head spacer 51 first, in the housing 22 while each latching lug 54 is engaged in a longitudinal groove 65 respective, then sliding the succession of three contact members 12 as far as the stop.

  • the rear face 67 is distant from the inner surface 66 with a predetermined gap or clearance between them.
  • the toothing 28 then continues to penetrate the cable such as 23 or 24 and when the penetration is sufficient, that is to say when the predetermined tightening torque is reached, the frangible portion 34 breaks.
  • the contact member 12 is configured so that the deformation it undergoes when it flexes so that its rear face 67 bears on the inner surface 66 is elastic.
  • the contact member 12 tends to return to its original shape.
  • the contact member 12 will deform under the effect of its elasticity to follow this deformation of the cable.
  • the contact member 12 is dimensioned so that the rear face 67 bears on the inner surface 66 under a load corresponding to about one third of the predetermined tightening torque for which the frangible portion 34 breaks.
  • the gap J in the absence of stress is preferably between 0.5 and 1 mm.
  • the contact member 12 can thus compensate for the variation in size of the cable such as 23 or 24 by crushing, which is generally of the order of a few ⁇ m to a few hundredths of a millimeter.
  • stirrup 50 has at the same time toothed blocks 56 which do not deform in order to be able to penetrate correctly into the cable such as 23 or 24 and an elastic bending capacity, thanks to the central interruption 55.
  • the geometry of the notches 57 makes it possible to adjust the bending capacity of the toothed stirrup 50.
  • the cable 23 is sectional sector, that is to say, in outline angular sector.
  • the toothing 28 is configured to cooperate also with round section cables.
  • the toothing 28 formed by two rows of teeth 29 is replaced by a toothing formed by a single row of teeth or more than two rows of teeth, for example three rows of teeth; and / or the conformation of the teeth is different, for example to cooperate exclusively with round cables or to cooperate with bare cables or the end of which has been stripped.
  • each contact member 12 is hooked to the body 21 by two latching lugs 54.
  • the latching lugs are replaced by other latching members which fit into a part hollow body of the connector, for example a lug that enters a blind hole of the body and / or the fastening member that includes the connector body is full rather than hollow, for example a longitudinal rib.
  • each contact member 12 comprises two positioning spacers projecting from one side of the toothed yoke and from the opposite side of the centrally toothed yoke.
