Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to an electrical connector with an interface element that is embodied to receive a retainer ring.
  • the body is often made of EPDM material.
  • the body is covered by a thick wall representing a conductive layer.
  • the thick wall comprises at an outer face a groove that receives a retainer ring.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an electrical connector that can be produced in a cost-efficient and simple manner.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the electrical connector of claim 1.
  • the proposed electrical connector can be produced in a simple manner with low costs.
  • the simple production is attained by coating the insulating body with an electrically conducting layer.
  • the layer can be easily damaged by fixing an element for example a the retainer ring or a sensor element to the layer or by any relative movement between the element and the insulating body due to usage of the connector, e.g. by heating up and cooling down due to varying electrical load or environmental temperature.
  • an interface element is provided that is arranged between the element and the layer.
  • the interface element protects the layer. Therefore, the element can be fixed to the connector without damaging the layer.
  • the replacement of the thick conducting wall by the coated thin conducting layer reduces the costs and simplifies the production process.
  • the interface element provides a simple and secure fixing of the element without damaging the damageable conducting layer.
  • the element is a retainer ring or a sensor element.
  • the proposed structure assists the fixing of a retainer ring or a sensor element to the connector.
  • the first recess is of a partial circular shape or of a circular shape.
  • the partial circular shape or the circular shape provides a secure form-fit or force-fit fixing of the interface element.
  • the interface element is of partial circular shape or of a circular shape.
  • the partial circular shape or the circular shape provides a secure form-fit or force-fit fixing of an element with a partial circular shape or with a circular shape.
  • the second recess is of a partial circular shape or of a circular shape.
  • the partial circular shape improves the fixing of an element with a partial circular shape.
  • the circular shape improves the fixing of an element with a circular shape.
  • the layer is made of a sprayed layer. Spraying the layer simplifies the production process and reduces the costs. The sprayed layer provides a sufficient conductivity.
  • the layer has a thickness that is smaller than 0.3 mm, preferably smaller than 0.1 mm. This thickness is sufficient for providing the necessary electric conductivity for electrical grounding of the connector. The electrical grounding is necessary for a high-voltage and/or a high-current application of the connector.
  • the interface element is embodied as an open ring that can be flexibly bent to a larger radius by mounting the interface element onto the connector or to a smaller radius for mounting the interface element on the retainer ring.
  • the shape of an open ring can be produced in an easy and cost-efficient manner.
  • the open-ring structure provides a secure fixing of the interface element to the connector and to the retainer ring.
  • the recess for receiving the interface element is formed in a partly-circular cross-section along a longitudinal axis of the connecting section.
  • the partly-circular cross-section provides a simple mounting of the interface element and a sufficient fixing of the interface element and the retainer ring.
  • the recess comprises a cross-section with at least one protrusion and at least one lug for receiving a radial inner face of the interface element.
  • the arrangement of the at least one protrusion and at least one lug improves the fixing of the interface element from moving or pulling off the interface element from the electrical connector.
  • the body is made of a mold material, e. g. comprising silicone or EPDM or TPE.
  • a mold material e. g. comprising silicone or EPDM or TPE.
  • the interface element is made of a flexible material, e. g. with a Shore hardness of A20 or higher.
  • the interface element is made of a rigid material, e. g. thermoplastics. Also, a rigid material can be used for the interface element because it is still sufficiently soft for mounting the interface element to the connector without damaging the conducting layer.
  • the interface element could also be made of an elastomeric material with a Shore hardness above A40.
  • the interface element could also be made of an elastomeric material with reinforcement by e.g. metal insert elements.
  • the interface element is made of electrically-conducting material. Therefore, the retainer ring that may be made of electrically-conducting material is also electrically connected to the electrically conducting layer.
  • the interface element comprises a flexible section.
  • the flexible section improves the flexibility of the interface element.
  • Other parts of the interface element may be made of stiffer material. The stiffer material may increase the fixing forces that hold the retainer ring to the connector.
  • the interface element is made of several elements that are connected by flexible parts. This embodiment increases the flexibility without reducing the fixing forces.
  • Figure 1 refers to an exemplary embodiment, wherein a schematic cross-section of a connector 1 is shown that comprises electrical contact elements 2 that are arranged in an electrically-insulating body 3.

  • the body 3 of the connector 1 has an end section 10 with a reduced diameter.
  • a plate 11 is mounted on the connector 1 abutting against a side wall 12 of the body 3.
  • the plate 11 is fixed by rods 13 to the further connector 6.
  • the rods 13 may be guided through holes of the plate 11 and fixed to the plate 11 by means of screws 14.
  • the retainer ring 8 is arranged within two opposite rods 13 and holds the connector 1 in a stable position within the rods 13.
  • the retainer ring 8 represents a theft protection system and prevents an easy removal of the connector 1. In particular if high voltages or high current is guided through the connector 1, a simple removal of the connector 1 should be prevented.
  • the retainer ring 8 is made of a hard material to hold the connector 1 in a predetermined orientation for example referring to a device mounted on the corresponding connector 6.
  • the corresponding connector 6 may comprise a further contact element 42 that fits to the contact element 2, wherein the further contact element 42 is arranged within a further electrically insulating body 43.
  • the retainer ring 8 may be made of metal with sharp edges that may damage the layer 4 during the mounting of the retainer ring 8 on the connector 1 and/or during product usage.
  • the body 3 is made of an insulating material, e. g. plastic, silicone or EPDM or TPE. In one embodiment, the body 3 is made of molded material. This provides a cost-efficient and simple manner of production of the connector 1 with the embedded contact elements 2.

  • the thin layer 4 is sufficient to provide the necessary grounding and is cost-efficient in production.

  • the interface element 7 may be made of a flexible material such as rubbers (LSR, EPDM, HTV, TPE) with a Shore hardness A30-A50 or also higher hardness such as A60-A80.

  • the material of the interface element 7 may be UV-resistant and may be electrically-conductive.
  • the connector 1 has a specific shape on the outer face for example in the connecting section 5 to provide a recess or a shape for receiving and fixing the interface element 7.
  • the interface element 7 itself also comprises a shape or recess for receiving a part of the retainer ring 8 on an outer face.
  • the retainer ring 8 may be made of metal, at least of a hard material and is inserted in the interface element before or during an installation process of the connector 1 to the further connector 6.
  • the connecting section 5 of the body 3 can be pressed together before the installation on the further connector 6 to facilitate the mounting of the interface element 7 and/or the retainer ring 8.
  • the interface element 7 is either inserted by a cable jointer or is mounted on the connector in the factory by producing the connector 1. If the interface element is inserted by the cable jointer, it is preferably prior to that mounted on the inside of the retainer ring 8.
  • the interface element 7 has a groove on the outside for the retainer ring 8 to be positioned in. On an inside, the interface element comprises a shape corresponding to the shape of an outer face of the connector 1.
  • the corresponding shapes are designed to improve the force-fit and/or form-fit connection.
  • the corresponding shapes are preferably further optimized to minimize electrical stress in the body material.
  • the shapes may also allow sliding the retainer ring 8 with the interface element over the connector 1 and allow for maximum pull-off forces once the connector 1 is installed on the further connector 6.
  • the pull-off forces are also very high even when the connector 1 is not yet installed on the corresponding connector 6.
  • the proposed connector provides a cost reduction by having the interface element 7 mounted after the molding of the body 3 and coated the body 3 with the conductive layer 4. This avoids costly overmolding with increased cycle time and increased molding efforts.
  • the layer 4 may consist of the same material as the body 3, e. g. silicone or polymer, and mixed with electrically-conductive material, e. g. carbon black.
  • the layer 4 may be put on the body 3 by dipcoating or by painting or by spraying. Furthermore, powder-coating with a curing process may be used for coating the body 3 with the layer 4.
  • the layer 4 may cover the entire outer surface of the body or parts of it, as depending on the design selected areas may not require a conductive coating from the electrical point of view. This may reduce the cost. A further cost reduction is attained by having the interface element 7 made of lower-cost material, e. g. EPDM, HTV or thermoplastic or elastomeric materials. Furthermore, the connector 1 can also be supplied without the interface element 7 if a customer does not require a retainer ring 8.

  • the second recess 16 is embodied in the shown embodiment as a simple rectangular groove.
  • the retainer ring 8 is partly arranged with an inner section in the second recess 16.
  • the dimension of the second recess 16 may have e.g. a width of 2 mm and a depth of 3 mm.
