Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly comprising a mate assist member and a connector position assurance (CPA) member.
- CPA connector position assurance
- Such mate assist mechanisms usually are provided linearly moveable or pivotably moveable on a connector housing. Upon pre-mating of the connector with the corresponding mating connector, the mate assist mechanism is actuated and moved from a first or preliminary mating position, to a second, fully mated position, thereby facilitating the mating process.
- the mating movement is achieved by suitable cam elements provided on the mate assist mechanism that interacts with a suitable cam groove, so that the two connectors to be mated are pulled towards each other upon actuating of the mate assist mechanism.
- Another principle uses rack and pinion elements, whereby e.g.
- a pinion (gear wheel) is provided on a rotatable lever that is mounted to a connector housing and a corresponding tooth rack is provided on the counter connector. Upon engagement of rack and pinion a rotation of the lever will result in a mating movement of the two connector parts to be mated.
- a typical example of a connector assembly with a mate assist mechanism in form of a rotatable lever is described in WO 2013/ 011345 A1 .
- the mate assist lever disclosed in this document is provided rotatable on a connector housing and has generally a u-shaped form with two lever arms connected by a common web.
- Each lever arm comprises a cam groove that is adapted to interact with a corresponding cam pin or cam follower provided on the counter connector housing.
- the cam follower is introduced in the cam groove of the lever and upon rotating of the lever from a preliminary mating position to a fully mated position, the cam groove acts on the cam follower, whereby the two connectors to be mated are pulled towards each other.
- the connector housing further comprises a locking latch to hold or fix the lever in the fully mated position.
- the connector is provided with a secondary locking device that is arranged moveable on the connector housing between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, the secondary locking device prevents a release movement of the locking latch of the connector housing, so that an unintended movement of the lever out of the fully mated position is prevented.
- this construction does not comprise a connector position assurance member.
- an electrical connector assembly comprising a connector housing and a mate assist member that is arranged moveable from a preliminary mating position to a fully mated position to facilitate the mating process of the connector housing with a corresponding counter connector.
- the preliminary mating position of the mate assist member is the position, in which it is possible to initiate the mating process.
- the assembly further comprises a connector position assurance (CPA) member, that is likewise arranged moveable on the connector housing between a first and a second position.
- the CPA member comprises a latching member that engages a locking portion on the connector housing, whereby the CPA member is fixed in its first position on the housing.
- the latching member is released from said locking portion due to preferably a contact with a part of the corresponding counter connector.
- the latching arm is released, so that the CPA member can be moved into the second position.
- the connector housing further comprises a second locking portion, onto which the latching member latches when the CPA member is in the second position.
- the same latching member can be used for a fixation of the CPA member in the first as well as the second position.
- the CPA member further blocks a movement of the mate assist member when the CPA member is in its second position and it allows a movement of the mate assist member, when the CPA member is in the first position.
- the CPA member has the additional function of a secondary lock.
- an operator has a reliable control means to check whether the connector housing is correctly mated with the corresponding counter connector, since only in that case is it possible to move the CPA member from the first to the second position.
- the mate assist member is locked in its mated position by the CPA.
- a single working step achieves two important functions.
- the connector housing is provided with at least one sliding groove and the CPA member with a corresponding sliding portion, which runs in the sliding groove similar to a key and keyway connection.
- the connector housing further comprises a locking latch to lock or latch the lever in the fully mated position thereof.
- This locking latch is preferably provided such that it automatically latches onto a suitable portion of the lever, when the lever is moved into the fully mated position.
- a release of the lever requires in that case a release of the locking latch, by for example using a suitable tool or by a manual release of the locking latch.
- the CPA member is in this embodiment adapted to prevent the release movement of the locking latch, when the CPA member is in its second position. Most preferably, this is achieved by means of a blocking portion provided on or at the CPA member that engages respectively blocks the locking latch when the CPA is in its second position. Thereby, it is not possible to actuate the locking latch, i.e. to move it into a release orientation.
- a connector assembly 10 in accordance with the present invention is shown in a 3-dimensional schematic view.
- the connector assembly 10 comprises a connector housing 20 and a mate assist member in form of a rotatable lever 30 that is mounted on the connector housing 20.
- the rotatable lever 30 has a generally u-shaped form with two parallel lever arms 31 and 32 that are connected by a common web 33.
- the lever 30 is rotatably arranged on the housing 20 by means of pivot pins 24 that are formed on the side walls of connector housing 20.
- the lever arms 31, 32 comprise a pivot element or gear wheel 34 that is adapted to interact with a tooth bar or pinion (not shown) provided on the inner walls of counter connector 11.
- a tooth bar or pinion not shown
- the gear wheel 34 can interact with the pinion or tooth bar provided in the counter connector 11, whereby connector housing 20 is pulled into the receiving opening of counter connector 11.
- the connector housing 20 has to be first inserted further into the counter connector into a pre-mating orientation as shown in Fig. 2 , so that the teeth of the gear wheel can engage the rack.
- a connector position assurance member 40 is arranged moveable on the connector housing 20. The function of the CPA 40 will be explained in more detail below under reference to the further figures.
- Fig. 2 shows the same connector assembly as Fig. 1 , when connector housing 20 is in a preliminary mating position. Also the mate assist member (the lever) 30 is in its preliminary mating position, in which the teeth of the gear wheel 34 are ready to engage the corresponding teeth of the pinion or tooth bar of counter connector 11.
- the CPA member is shown in a first position in which it is held by a latching member in form of two latching arms 41, 43. This is more clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4 .
- the latching arm 41 engages a locking portion 21 of connector housing 20, so that the CPA is fixed in this first position as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 .
- an identical locking portion is provided that is engaged by the second latching arm 43, which arm is not visible in Fig. 3 due to the perspective of the figure.
- the latching arms 41, 43 are adapted to be released from the locking portions 21 upon (preferably full) mating of connector housing 20 with the corresponding counter connector 11.
- latching arms 41, 43 upon inserting connector housing 20 further into the receiving opening of counter connector 11, the latching arms 41, 43 will be deflected at the end of the mating process by the inner walls of counter connector 11 until the latching arms 41, 43 are released from the respective locking portions. In the embodiment shown, this release of latching arms 41, 43 is only effected upon full mating or coupling of connector housing 20 into counter connector 11. This situation is shown in Fig. 5 .
- the connector housing 20 is further provided with an aperture 25, which serves as second locking portion.
- an aperture 25 which serves as second locking portion.
- the CPA 40 comprises two latching arms 41 and 42. Both latching arms protrude from the CPA member in the mating direction of the connector housing.
- the free ends of latching arms 41, 42 are provided with L-shaped hooks 43, 44 for a secure fixation of the CPA 40 in the first and second positions.
- the free ends of latching arms 41, 42 comprise an inclined release portion, which is adapted to come into contact with a portion or wall of the counter connector upon mating. This inclined release portion facilitates the release of the latching arms from locking portion 21.
- the CPA member 40 is further provided with two sliding portions 45 also extending in mating direction of connector housing 20.
- the sliding portions 45 are adapted to interact with two corresponding sliding grooves 22 provided in an outer wall of connector housing 20. Still further, a blocking portion 46 is integrally formed with CPA 40 that is adapted to engage a locking latch of the connector housing when the CPA is in its second position, in order to prevent the release movement of the locking latch. This will be explained in more detail below.
- Fig. 5 shows a 3-dimensional partially cut view of the connector assembly.
- the connector housing is fully mated with the counter connector and the lever 30 is in the fully mated position.
- the lever is locked by a locking latch 23 provided on the connector housing.
- the locking latch 23 will be depressed downwardly by the common web 33 of lever 30 when the lever is rotated into the fully mated position of Fig. 5 and the locking latch 23 will then automatically spring or latch back in the position shown in Fig. 5 , when the lever reaches its fully mated position.
- an operator has to manually press the locking latch 23 downwardly in the orientation shown in Fig. 5 . From Fig.
- Fig. 6 and 7 show again details of the CPA 40 and in particular of the interaction of sliding grooves 22 and corresponding sliding portions 45.
- the two sliding grooves 22 are adapted to receive the sliding portions 45 therein.
- the sliding portions 45 comprise hooks 47 that engage behind a wall of the grooves so that the CPA 40 cannot become unintentionally loose.
- Fig. 8 shows the CPA 40 in the second position.
- the lever 30 is in the fully mated position, i.e. connector housing and counter connector are fully mated with each other. From the cut-view of Fig. 8 one can also see how the locking latch 23 is latched behind the common web 33 of lever 30, so that in the situation shown in Fig. 8 it is not possible to rotate the lever 30 in counter clockwise direction. Due to the kinematics of the lever, this means that it is not possible to unmate the two connectors. For unmating, an operator has to first deflect the locking latch 23 downwardly in the figure, such that the common web can move over the top surface of locking latch 23. However, in the position shown in Fig.
- the blocking portion 46 of CPA 40 is arranged underneath the free, flexible end of locking latch 23. Therefore, it is not possible to press the locking latch 23 downwardly and therefore a release of lever 30 is not possible.
- the CPA 40 thus not only serves as an indicator for a successfully completed mating operation but at the same time as a secondary lock, that securely prevents any unintentional release movement of lever 30.
