Definitions

  • Fig. 1 shows a typical example of a connector in particular for use in an airbag ignition system, which is provided with a secondary locking member.
  • a connector is also known from WO 2007/131535 A1 .
  • the connector comprises a plug connector housing 1, which is adapted to be plugged into a corresponding receptacle of an airbag igniter or airbag squib.
  • the connector of Fig. 1 further comprises a secondary locking device 2, which is also often denoted as connector position assurance (CPA) device.
  • CPA connector position assurance
  • an electrical connector assembly which comprises a plug connector.
  • the plug connector in turn comprises a plug connector housing and a secondary locking device which is being arranged on the outside of the plug connector housing.
  • the secondary locking device is not fully provided inside the plug connector housing, but is arranged such that most of the secondary locking device is accessible from the outside.
  • the secondary locking device is thereby arranged such that it is movable between an open and a closed position.
  • the direction of movement is generally preferred the mating direction of the plug connector, i.e. the secondary locking device can be moved back and forth in mating direction.
  • this pitch is covered from at least two opposite sides of the assembly by plate members extending from the plug connector housing to the secondary locking device in the open position, .i.e. in the open position of the secondary locking device.
  • the electrical connector assembly features plate members which cover the pitch when the secondary locking device is in the open position such that no objects can block the movement of the secondary locking device.
  • counter connector used herein denotes to any kind of connector adapted to connect to the plug connector and contact terminal provided therein.
  • the counter connector, the plug connector housing and the secondary locking device are preferably fabricated by injection molding.
  • the assembly comprises three plate members adapted to cover the pitch from at least three different sides of the assembly, and even more preferably the assembly comprises at least four plate members adapted to cover the pitch from at least four different sides of the assembly.
  • the movement of the secondary locking device is further protected from being blocked by foreign objects.
  • the plug connector housing of the electrical connector assembly comprises retention means adapted to engage the secondary locking device in the open position.
  • the retention means prevents a complete removal of the secondary locking device from the electrical connector assembly.
  • the secondary locking device in turn comprises protrusion means adapted to interact with the retention means of the plug connector housing. When the secondary locking device is in the open position, the interaction of the protrusion means with the retention means hinders the secondary locking device from an unwanted movement from the open position to the closed position.
  • the electrical connector assembly described herein is particularly useful for airbag connection systems in passenger cars.
  • Fig. 2 shows an electrical connector assembly comprising a plug connector housing 10 and a secondary locking device 20.
  • the plug connector housing of Fig. 2 comprises a main portion 11, a holder part 14 and a cap part 17.
  • the main portion 11 features a plug-in portion 12, which in turn comprises two latching arms 13a and 13b, being arranged on opposite sides of the plug-in portion 12. These latching arms serve for latching with corresponding latching means of a corresponding counter connector (not shown).
  • pitch used herein denotes to the gap formed between the secondary locking device 20 and the plug connector housing 10. When the secondary locking device 20 is in the open position this pitch is most pronounced. However, when the secondary locking device 20 is moved to the closed position, this pitch is being increasingly covered by the secondary locking device 20. The provision of the plate members 15a, 15b, 15c thereby cover or shield the pitch to prevent the movement of the secondary locking device 20 from being blocked.
  • the secondary locking device 20 further comprises actuating projections 23a, 23b provided on the free ends of spring arms 25a, 25b.
  • the spring arms 25a, 25b are deflected by portions of the counter connector, that come into contact with the actuating projections 23a, 23b. Thereby, the stopping shoulders 22a, 22b are released.
  • the main portion 11 of the plug connector housing 10 comprises a cavity for the reception of electrical contact terminals 19.
  • the contact terminals 19 are connected with signal cables 30a, 30b. It will be appreciated that an electromagnetic shielding can additionally be provided (not shown).
  • the terminals 19 may be provided with e.g. electronic interference damping devices in the form of a ferrite block.
  • the holder part 14 of the plug connector housing 10 further comprises retention means 16.
  • This retention means 16 is of the form of a hook and is adapted such that it hinders a complete removal of the secondary locking device 20 from the plug connector.
  • the secondary locking device 20 comprises respective means adapted to interact with the retention means 16 of the plug connector housing 10.
  • the secondary locking device 20 further comprises protrusion means 26, which hinder the secondary locking device 20 from falling from the open position to the closed position unwantedly.
  • the protrusion means 26 push back the retention means 16 of the holder part 14, thereby unlocking the blocking function of the retention means 16.
