Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of electro-magnetically shielded electrical connectors.
  • cables and electrical connections must be electro-magnetically shielded.
  • a shielded connector for a motor vehicle has been designed which comprises an electrically insulating inner housing with at least one cavity housing a contact electrically connected to an electric cable provided with a braid of shielding. At least one electrically conductive housing shielding member and having a cable exit portion is at least partially disposed around the inner housing.
  • This type of connector although capable of satisfying the technical performance plan, may prove to be difficult to repair.
  • An object of the invention is to manufacture a shielded connector at least partially satisfying the requirements mentioned above.
  • the elasticity of the tongue makes it possible to accommodate the displacements of the cable at the connector output, avoiding the mechanical breaking of the case shielding element and the breaking of the electrical continuity between the shielding element. casing and shielding braid. This arrangement provides flexibility in the connection between the casing shield member and the cable, thereby freeing the casing shield member from excessive stresses.
  • the clamping ring keeps the elastic tongue in contact with the shielding braid.
  • the fact that it is also removable makes the connection between the case shielding element and the shielding braid easily removable, thus offering the possibility of easier repair of the cable only, without having to replace other elements of the connector. .
  • the clamping ring constitutes a stop or surface on which the seal can be compressed
  • the shielding element comprises an outer ferrule set on the braid and on which the elastic tongue is pressed by the clamping ring; in this case, the electrical connection between the shielding element and the shielding braid is reinforced by the fact that the tongue is in contact with a rigid element;
  • the invention relates to a method of mounting a shielded connector for motor vehicles, comprising:
  • this shielding element comprising a cable outlet portion.
  • the cable outlet portion is provided with at least one resilient tongue integrally formed with the shielding element, which extends at the portion of the bare shielding braid. It is then possible to bring back, above the portion of the stripped shielding braid, a removable clamping ring on the tongue.
  • This method prepares the cable and the elements to ensure the continuity of shielding in the connector on the cable only. There are no elements involved in the shielding function to be mounted in the rest of the connector.
  • This method may further comprise one or the other of the following characteristics, taken separately or in combination:
  • an outer ferrule is crimped on the cable at the portion of the bare shielding braid and the clamping ring presses the tongue on the outer ferrule
  • an internal ferrule is placed on the cable, on the portion of the shielding braid stripped, then the shielding braid and rolled up on the inner ferrule, before crimping the outer ferrule on the inner ferrule,
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically in perspective an exploded view of an embodiment of a connector according to the invention
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically in perspective the shield of the connector of Figure 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows schematically in perspective and in section, a detail of the connection between a shielding element of the connector and the shielding braid of the cable;
  • FIGS 4A and 4B show schematically, for two different ferrule diameters, crimping the outer ferrule at the stripped end of the cable;
  • FIGS. 5A to 5G show a succession of steps of the assembly method according to the invention.
  • the connector 1 comprises:
  • the connector 1 also has contacts 28 electrically connected to a cable 30 (see Figure 5D).
  • FIG. 2 shows more particularly how the internal and external ferrules 22 are arranged with the case shielding elements.
  • the case shielding elements 26, according to this example, number two, are for example made by stamping. and cutting a metal sheet. They have nested with each other to form a cage extending along a longitudinal axis A, between an open end 32 towards the connection interface and an opposite end having a cable outlet portion 34.
  • This cable outlet portion 34 has a substantially tubular shape, symmetrical about the longitudinal axis A. It comprises a plurality of tongues 36 or resilient blades integrally with the case shielding elements 26. For example, these tongues 36 are ten regularly distributed around the longitudinal axis A. But, it will be noted that the tabs rests on an outer ferrule 24, without a crimping operation has been performed on the shielding elements of housing 26 at the cable outlet portion 34. This clearly limits the level of stress exerted on the shielding elements of housing 26. This also allows manual mounting and facilitates repair operations. As shown in more detail in FIG. 3, each tab 36 has a curved shape.
  • each tab 36 progressively deviates from the longitudinal axis A, away from the case shielding member 26 to which it is connected, to a vertex 38. Then, from this vertex 38, direction of its free end 40 is approaching again the longitudinal axis.
  • the diameter of the circle inscribed at the free ends of the tongues 36, when they are unstressed, is less than the external diameter of the outer ferrule 24.
  • the free ends 40 of the tongues 36 form contact zones which rest and exert a contact force on the outer surface 42 of the outer ferrule 24, when the latter is housed in the cable outlet portion 34.
  • the inner ferrule 22 has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the outer ferrule 24.
  • the inner ferrule 22 is placed on the cable 30, above a stripped portion 48 of the shielding braid 44.
  • the shielding braid 44 is thus in contact with the inner face 46 of the inner ferrule 22.
  • the shielding braid 44 is also rolled up, turned over, in order to be in contact with the outer surface 50 of the inner ferrule 22.
  • the outer ferrule 24 is threaded above the stripped portion 48 of the shielding braid 44 resting on the inner ferrule 22, on which it is crimped.
  • the outer surface 42 of the outer ferrule 24 is substantially smooth (without apparent shielding braid).
  • the free ends 40 of the tabs 36 bear on this smooth surface and make a reliable and durable electrical contact over time even if these free ends 40 are brought, during the life of the connector 1, to rub on this surface external 42 of the outer ferrule 24.
  • the configuration of the resilient tabs 36 presented above accommodates several cable diameters 30, with a limited number of ferrules of different diameters.
  • ⁇ spacer 20 has a tubular inner surface 54 forming a clamping ring 56.
  • the spacer 20 (and therefore its clamping ring 54) is movable along the cable 30 and can be positioned removably above the tabs 36 ( Figure 5G).
  • the inner surface 54 of the clamping ring 56 pressing on the top 38 of the tongues 36, exerts an urging force and holding the free ends 40 of the tongues 36 in contact with the outer surface 42 of the outer ferrule 24.
  • the clamping ring 54 exerts a force on the resilient tongue 36, essentially at their apex 38, radially in the direction of the cable 30.
  • the tongues 36 are on the one hand inclined with respect to the external surface 42 of the outer ferrule 24, and on the other hand elastic, the clamping ring 54 (whose inner diameter is slightly greater than the outer diameter of the outer ferrule, but less than the diameter inscribed at the vertices 38 of the tabs 36) can relatively easily be moved on the along the cable 30, then on the tabs 36.
  • clamping ring 56 and the spacer are two separate elements.
  • Figure 5 illustrates in more detail the mounting of the portion of the connector 1 comprising the connection between the shielding elements 26 of the housing and the shielding braid 44.
  • the cover 14 has been threaded.
  • the wire joint 4 the spacer 20 and the inner ferrules 22 and outer 24 on the cable 30 (the compression half-shells 12 may be placed on the cable 30 later).
  • the inner ferrules 22 and outer 24 can take any angular position around the cable 30, which simplifies the method of mounting the connector according to the invention.
  • the clamping ring 56 and the spacer 20 on which is mounted contribute to forming a stop or surface on which the wire seal 4 can be compressed by the compression half-shells 12 and the lid 14.
  • a portion of the inner insulation of the cable 30 is then withdrawn near one of its ends to disengage the wires 58 of the cable 30.
  • a portion of the outer insulation 60 of the cable 30 is also removed to denude the shielding braid 44 which is then rolled up on the inner ferrule 22.
  • the outer ferrule 24 can then be brought back and crimped on the portion of the shielding braid rolled up on the inner ferrule 22 (Figure 5C).
  • Contacts 28 are then crimped on the ends, previously cleared and stripped, son 58 of the cable 30 ( Figure 5D).
  • These contacts 28 are inserted into the inner casing 6 (FIG. 5E).
  • the two case shielding elements 26 are brought back to the inner case 6 (FIG. 5F).
  • the tabs 36 cover the outer ferrule 34.
  • the flexibility of the tabs optimizes the performance of the vibration resistance without degrading the shielding performance. For example, one can reach vibration levels of 42G sine, that is substantially 17G RMS, instead of the 25 G sine existing shielded connectors of this type.
  • the shielding elements 26 and their tongues 36 are not crimped on the outer ferrule, which makes dismantling and repair operations possible.
  • the two shielding elements 26 are nested one inside the other and the clamping ring 56 of the spacer 20 is brought back onto the tongues 36 (FIG. 5G).
  • the end of the cable 30 thus prepared and shielded can be optionally stored and / or transported before being introduced into the outer housing 8 is mounted with the other elements of the connector 1.
