Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an angled electrical connector of the multi-contact type intended to be mounted on a cable comprising a plurality of insulated conductors, as well as a connection assembly comprising such a connector and an associated assembly method.
  • the connector according to the invention is advantageously an RF connector, that is to say capable of transmitting signals of the range of DC (DC) to radio frequencies (RF), including microwave (HF), the signals being High Speed Data Link (HSDL) or RF signals.
  • DC DC
  • RF radio frequencies
  • HF microwave
  • HSDL High Speed Data Link
  • the invention relates to angled multi-contact connectors for mounting on differential-pair type insulated conductor cables having four or more differential-pair conductors.
  • the patent EP 1825575B1 discloses an angled multi-contact connector, comprising an electrical insulator in which four central contacts are each snap-fitted in a groove of the body, the snapping being formed by the lateral side of the groove open to the outside over the entire length. This ratcheting solution is not satisfactory because in case of poor snap of one or the other of the contacts, it may occur a short circuit with the shielding conductive body arranged around the insulation.
  • the patent application EP 2915218A1 proposes to add tabs of material incorporated in the insulation, and which are folded by folding on the grooves once the contacts are snapped inside.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is that it is not easy for an operator performing the assembly of the connector to simultaneously hold the tabs in their folded position time to set up the shielding conductive body around.
  • the patent application EP 2603953A1 proposes a similar solution of folding parts but which are mounted on hinges directly on the insulator, and which are folded to trap the contacts, block them but also isolate them with respect to each other, the front portions of the contacts being in advance inserted longitudinally through the rear end of the body into through openings forming housing.
  • This solution involves a significant additional cost related to the realization of the hinges, which can also be relatively fragile.
  • the connector according to the invention is characterized in that the front portion of the insulator comprises at least one groove open towards the inside of the insulating body, the groove being adapted to receive at least partly a rear end of a contact. ; and in that it further comprises a piece of insulating material adapted to be fixed to the insulator removably, the part having walls adapted to maintain each rear end of a contact not received in the bottom of a groove of the insulator, and to separate on the one hand from each rear end of another contact received or not in the bottom of a groove of the insulator, and secondly the conductive cover in its closed position of the conductive body.
  • the rear portion of the insulation is configured so that the insulating part comes to be inserted in a direction transverse to the second axis of the body, the insulating part having latching means on the rear portion a times the transverse insertion performed.
  • the invention essentially consists in configuring the insulator to allow rearward insertion of the contacts and to allow the removable attachment of a single insulating part whose function is both to maintain, it is to block the contacts transversely to the axis of the rear portion of the insulation, to isolate the contacts from each other, and also to isolate the contacts which are the outermost of the connector elbow or the longest contacts, the conductive cover which forms with the conductive body a shielding assembly.
  • the rear portion of the insulation is configured so that the insulating part comes to be inserted in a direction transverse to the second axis (Y) of the body, the insulating part having means for snap on the rear portion, once the transverse insertion performed.
  • the insulating part has a generally U-shaped shape, one of the branches of the U being adapted to make the separation between each rear end of the contact or contacts received in the bottom of a groove of the rear portion of the insulation and the one or more superposed contacts not received in the bottom of the groove, the other of the legs of the U being adapted to separate the conductive cover and each rear end of the contact or not received in the bottom of the groove, while the bottom of the U defines the mounting clearance of each rear end of the contact or not received in the bottom of the groove.
  • the insulating part has a general shape in multiple U, one of the outer branches and the internal branch or branches of the multiple U being adapted to make the separation between each rear end of the contact or contacts received in the bottom. a groove of the rear portion of the insulator and that of the one or more superposed contacts not received in the bottom of the groove, the other of the outer branches of the multiple U being adapted to separate the conductive cover and each rear end or the contacts not received in the bottom of the groove, while the bottom of the multiple U defines the mounting clearance of each rear end of the contact or not received in the bottom of the groove.
  • the insulating part comprises at least one polarizer to avoid an error in the mounting direction.
  • the insulating part further comprises a wall shaped as a bend in substantially the same elbow shape as that of the insulator and bent contacts, the elbow of the insulating part being adapted to cover the space at above the contacts arranged the outermost of the insulator forming a stop in translation of said contacts, in the direction of the first axis of the insulating body.
  • the abutment thus defined makes it possible to limit to a minimum the recoil of the front ends of the external contacts when the connector is connected to a complementary connector. In this way, no noticeable distortion of the contact elbow can occur.
  • the connector comprises a conductive element closed on itself, adapted to be fixed inside the front portion of the conductive body so as to form a ground contact.
  • the connector comprises at least four bent contacts, the front portion of the insulator comprising at least one wall to separate the two contacts housed in the openings inside the elbow of those housed in the openings outside the elbow or in openings made in intermediate positions of the elbow, the front portion and / or the rear portion of the insulator having at least one wall for separating the two contacts housed in the openings on one side of the first axis (X) of the insulator from those housed in the openings on the other side or in intermediate openings.
  • the conductive cover which closes the body is advantageously metallic.
  • the configuration of the body and the hood makes it possible to limit high frequency leakage and to reinforce the mechanical maintenance of the connector insulation in the body.
  • the body and the cover may be two separate parts, preferably metal, connected or not by a pivot hinge.
  • the contacts can be crimped on the conductors of the cable.
  • this step c / can occur before the step d / of partial insertion of the contacts in the insulator and the step e / of bending.
  • the contacts may be soldered to the conductors of the cable.
  • this step c / can occur before the step d / partial insertion of the contacts in the insulation and the step e / bending, or after step f / when the contacts are housed in the back part of the insulation.
  • the contacts can be bent before or after their partial insertion in the front portion of the insulation. This variant can be applied to contacts already welded or crimped to the conductors of the cable.
  • the method may advantageously comprise a step of crimping the cover on the rear portion of the conductive body.
  • the method according to the invention can be particularly simple and quick to implement, since the mounting of the contacts is done from behind by the housing of their front end in the through openings of the insulation and, the establishment of the single piece ensuring the physical separation between contacts and with the outside and thus the conductive shielding cover, is done by a snap-in insertion into the insulation.

  • the contacts illustrated 4.1 to 4.8 are bent after their partial insertion in the front portion 50 of the insulator 5, they can be also before their partial insertion. This variant can be applied to welded or crimped contacts.
  • the insulating part 9 is snap-fitted in the insulator 5, it can also be mounted by force fitting into the latter.
  • the figure 10 shows an advantageous embodiment of the insulating part 9. According to this mode, there is provided an additional wall 98 shaped as a bend according to substantially the same elbow shape as that of the insulation 5 and elbow contacts 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4.
  • the elbow 98 covers the space above the long contacts 4.2, 4.4 arranged the outermost of the insulator 5 and at least a part of the front end of this elbow 98 is positioned facing the front end 40 of the long contacts 4.2, 4.4.
  • the front end 99 of the elbow 98 thus forms a stop which makes it possible to limit the translation of the long outer contacts 4.2, 4.4 the outermost of the insulating elbow 5 along the first axis (X). In this way, when connecting the connector with a complementary connector, the recoil of these contacts 4.2, 4.4, according to the arrow R of the figure 12 , is weak, and therefore any significant deformation of the bent area of the contacts 4.2, 4.4 is avoided.
