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.
- connection assembly incorporating an angled multi-contact connector 1, according to an exemplary implementation of the invention.

- the housing 3 comprises, for example, not shown elastic fingers formed in the wall of the through passage and making it possible to provide a locking function on the front portion 60 of the conductive body 6 and thus of the bent connector 1 with the housing 3.
- the housing 3 further comprises means not shown for locking the connection assembly 11 according to the invention with a housing of a complementary connection assembly.
- connection assembly 11 including the assembly of the bent connector according to the invention 1.
- a cable 2 is provided with a plurality of insulated conductors 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, four in the example illustrated, with an outer sheath 20 around which the sleeve 10 is crimped. The free end of the sleeve is stripped. each of the conductors 2.1 to 2.4 over a length L sufficient to allow a contact 4.1 to 4.4 to be crimped securely around ( Figure 4A ).
- each right-handed contact 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 is then crimped onto a conductor 2.1 to 2.4. More precisely, the short contacts 4.1, 4.3 are crimped on the conductors of the bottom 2.1, 2.3 and the long contacts 4.2, 4.4 are crimped on the top conductors 2.2, 2.4 ( Figure 4B ).

- connection assembly 11 To finalize the assembly of a complete connection assembly 11 incorporating the bent connector according to the invention, the following steps are then carried out.
- the front portion 50 of the insulator 5 is introduced into the front portion 60 of a bent conductive body 6 ( Figure 4H direction of thrust of the insulator 5 according to arrow P).
- the conductive cover 8 is then closed on the rear portion 61 of the bent body 6, so as to maintain inside the body the connector portion having the contacts 4.1 to 4.4 crimped onto the conductors 2.1 to 2.4 of the cable 2 ( figure 4I ).
- the crimp 8 is then crimped on the rear portion 61 of the conductive body 6 by means of the crimping portion 81 and the crimping on the outer insulating sheath 20 of the cable 2 by means of the crimping portion 82 (FIG. figure 4J crimping symbolized by arrow S).
- connection assembly 11 finally assembled integrating the angled multi-contact connector according to the invention with its conductive cover crimped on the outer sheath 20 of the cable 2 is shown in FIG. figure 5 .
- one or more polarizers 95 made in the form of protrusion at one or more corners of the insulating face 92 makes it possible to avoid any error in mounting the part 9 in the insulation 5.
- the insulating face 92 perfectly fits the peripheral wall of the rear portion 51 of the insulator 5 by closing the latter in a way.
- FIG. 8 to 8B an eight-contact variant 4.1 to 4.8 including a row of four short contacts 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7 on which is superimposed a row of four long contacts 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8.
- the short contacts 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7 are thus individually received and maintained in one of the four parallel grooves 54.1, 54.3, 54.5, 54.7 formed for this purpose in the rear portion 51 of the insulator 5.
- the insulating part 9 has the same U-shape as that provided for the modes of Figures 1 to 7 only the branches 91, 92 are longer in order to isolate the higher number of contacts.
- the eight contacts 4.1 to 4.8 are maintained in the insulator 5 by their insertion in the front portion 50 and blocked by the insulating part 9 in the rear portion 51 of the insulator 5.
- the eight contacts 4.1 to 4.8 are then individually crimped to insulated conductors 2.1 to 2.8 of the cable.

- the cost of producing this insulating piece whose shape may be simple may be low;
- the mounting of this insulating part is reliable and easy;
- the combination of the bent and grooved insulation with the insulating part allows the isolation of each contact relative to another and the insulation between the body and the conductive cover and the contacts.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, la portion arrière de l'isolant est configurée pour que la pièce isolante vienne s'y insérer selon une direction transversale au deuxième axe (Y) du corps, la pièce isolante comportant des moyens d'encliquetage sur la portion arrière, une fois l'insertion transversale réalisée.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, 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.
Selon une première variante, la pièce isolante a une forme générale en U, l'une des branches du U étant adaptée pour faire la séparation entre chaque extrémité arrière du ou des contacts reçue dans le fond d'une rainure de la portion arrière de l'isolant et celle du ou des contacts superposés non reçue dans le fond de la rainure, l'autre des branches du U étant adaptée pour faire la séparation entre le capot conducteur et chaque extrémité arrière du ou des contacts non reçue dans le fond de la rainure, tandis que le fond du U définit le jeu de montage de chaque extrémité arrière du ou des contacts non reçue dans le fond de la rainure.According to a first variant, 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.

In this first variant, this step c / can occur before the step d / of partial insertion of the contacts in the insulator and the step e / of bending.
Dans une deuxième variante de l'étape c/, les contacts peuvent être soudés sur les conducteurs du câble.

Cet ensemble comporte dans l'exemple décrit, un connecteur coudé 1 selon l'invention, et un boîtier en matière plastique 3 sur lequel il est monté.This assembly comprises in the example described, an angled connector 1 according to the invention, and a
Tel qu'illustré, le connecteur coudé 1 selon l'invention comporte un ensemble 4 comportant un nombre égal à quatre contacts 4.1, 4.2, 4,3, 4.4, un isolant 5 logeant les contacts, une pièce en matière isolante 9 insérée et fixée par encliquetage dans l'isolant 5, un corps coudé en matériau conducteur 6 logeant l'isolant 5 et la pièce isolante amovible 9, un contact de masse 7 fermé sur lui-même fixé sur le corps conducteur 6 et un capot en matériau conducteur 8 destiné à fermer le corps conducteur 6.As illustrated, the bent connector 1 according to the invention comprises an
Comme décrit par la suite, les contacts 4.1 à 4.4 du connecteur coudé 1 sont sertis chacun à un conducteur 2.1 à 2.4 d'un câble 2 à plusieurs conducteurs isolés, pourvu par ailleurs d'une gaine externe 20 et d'une douille de sertissage 10 à l'extrémité libre de la gaine 20.As described below, the contacts 4.1 to 4.4 of the bent connector 1 are each crimped to a conductor 2.1 to 2.4 of a
Chaque contact 4.1 à 4.4 est, dans l'exemple décrit, coudé et réalisé d'une seule pièce métallique selon la technologie dite « découpé-roulé ».Each contact 4.1 to 4.4 is, in the example described, bent and made of a single piece of metal according to the technology called "cut-rolled".
Chaque contact 4.1 à 4.4 comporte à son extrémité avant 40 une portion de contact destinée à coopérer avec une portion de contact complémentaire, et à son extrémité arrière 41 une portion de sertissage comportant une section transversale en U ou en V avec deux branches en regard pouvant être rabattues l'une vers l'autre autour d'un conducteur isolé du câble, comme décrit par la suite.Each contact 4.1 to 4.4 comprises at its front end 40 a contact portion intended to cooperate with a complementary contact portion, and at its rear end 41 a crimping portion having a cross section in U or V with two branches facing each other. to be folded towards each other around an insulated conductor of the cable, as described later.
En fonction de leur position dans le connecteur coudé 1, et donc de leur positionnement par rapport au coude du connecteur, les contacts sont plus ou moins longs. Ainsi, comme illustré, les contacts 4.1, 4.3 agencés à l'intérieur du coude sont relativement plus courts que les contacts 4.2, 4.4 agencés à l'extérieur du coude.Depending on their position in the angled connector 1, and therefore their positioning relative to the connector elbow, the contacts are longer or shorter. Thus, as illustrated, the contacts 4.1, 4.3 arranged inside the bend are relatively shorter than the contacts 4.2, 4.4 arranged outside the bend.

L'isolant coudé 5 comporte une portion avant 50 s'étendant selon un premier axe X et une portion arrière 51 qui s'étend selon un deuxième axe Y. Dans l'exemple décrit, les axes X et Y sont perpendiculaires mais l'invention peut s'appliquer à toute disposition non parallèle des axes X et Y. Dans l'exemple illustré également, la portion avant 50 est globalement cylindrique mais l'invention s'applique à toute autre section géométrique.The
La portion avant 50 comporte des ouvertures traversantes, au nombre de quatre 50.1, 50.2, 50.3, 50.4 dans l'exemple illustré. Les ouvertures traversantes 50.1 à 50.4 sont chacune adaptées pour loger chacune l'extrémité avant 40 d'un contact 4.1 à 4.4. L'agencement relatif, en carré dans l'exemple illustré, entre ouvertures 50.1 à 50.4 garantit un bon écartement mutuel entre contacts 4.1 à 4.4.The
La portion avant 50 comporte en outre :
une paroi 52 qui s'étend, entre ouvertures traversantes, dans le plan X-Y et qui est adaptée pour séparer les contacts deux-à-deux;une paroi 53 qui s'étend, entre ouvertures traversantes, dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan X-Y et qui est adaptée pour séparer les contacts courts 4.1, 4.3 des contacts longs 4.2, 4.4 dans leur extrémité avant.
- a
wall 52 which extends between through openings in the XY plane and which is adapted to separate the two-to-two contacts; - a
wall 53 which extends between through openings in a plane perpendicular to the XY plane and which is adapted to separate the short contacts 4.1, 4.3 of the long contacts 4.2, 4.4 in their front end.
La portion arrière 51 de l'isolant 5 comporte quant à elles deux rainures 54.1, 54.3 chacune ouverte vers l'extérieur de l'isolant et séparées l'une de l'autre par une paroi 55. Chaque rainure 54.1, 54.3 est adaptée pour recevoir au moins en partie l'extrémité arrière 41 d'un contact respectivement 4.1, 4.3.The
Selon l'invention, la portion arrière 51 de l'isolant 5 est configurée pour que la pièce isolante 9 vienne s'y insérer selon une direction transversale à l'axe Y du corps 5. Ainsi, dans l'exemple illustré, la portion arrière 51 comporte une zone 57 définie par des échancrures et fentes, notamment réalisées sur la paroi séparatrice 55, qui sert de zone d'insertion et d'appui de la pièce isolante 9. La portion arrière 51 comporte enfin une zone 56 définie par les sommets de part et d'autre des échancrures 57 du dessus, qui sert de zone d'appui du capot conducteur 8.According to the invention, the
On décrit maintenant en référence aux
Dans cet exemple illustré, la pièce isolante 9 a une forme générale en U. Une des branches 91 du U a pour fonction de séparer chaque extrémité arrière 41 des contacts courts 4.1, 4.3, qui est logée dans une rainure 54.1, 54.3 de celle des contacts longs 4.2, 4.4 non reçue dans la rainure. L'autre des branches 92 du U a pour fonction de séparer chaque extrémité arrière 41 des contacts longs 4.2, 4.4 qui n'est pas logée dans la rainure 54.1, 54.3 du capot 8 conducteur. Le fond 93 du U, plus précisément l'espace délimité entre les deux branches 91, 92 parallèles, définit le jeu de montage de chaque extrémité arrière 41 des contacts longs 4.2, 4.4, non reçue dans la rainure 54.1, 54.3. La paroi 93 et la branche 92 complètent l'isolation des contacts par rapport au corps 6 et au capot 8 conducteurs.In this example illustrated, the insulating

Le capot 8 comporte une portion de sertissage 81 pour sertir le capot 8 autour de la portion arrière 61 du corps conducteur 6. Il comporte également une portion de sertissage 82 pour sertir le capot autour de la gaine isolante 20 externe du câble 2. Le capot 8 peut être réalisé d'une seule pièce selon la technologie dite « découpé-roulé ». Le capot 8 est métallique.The
Le boîtier 3 est par exemple réalisé en polymère et il est évidé intérieurement, comportant un passage traversant.The
Le boîtier 3 comporte par exemple des doigts élastiques non représentés ménagées dans la paroi du passage traversant et permettant d'assurer une fonction de verrouillage sur la portion avant 60 du corps conducteur 6 et donc du connecteur coudé 1 avec le boitier 3.The
Le boitier 3 comporte en outre des moyens non représentés pour assurer le verrouillage de l'ensemble de connexion 11 selon l'invention avec un boîtier d'un ensemble de connexion complémentaire.The
On va maintenant décrire en référence aux
On fournit tout d'abord un câble 2 à pluralité de conducteurs isolés 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, quatre dans l'exemple illustré, avec une gaine externe 20 autour de laquelle on sertit la douille 10. On dénude l'extrémité libre de chacun des conducteurs 2.1 à 2.4 sur une longueur L suffisante pour permettre à un contact 4.1 à 4.4 d'y être serti solidement autour (
On sertit alors l'extrémité arrière 41 de chaque contact 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 de forme droite, au nombre de quatre dans l'exemple illustré, sur un conducteur 2.1 à 2.4. Plus précisément, les contacts courts 4.1, 4.3 sont sertis sur les conducteurs du dessous 2.1, 2.3 et les contacts longs 4.2, 4.4 sont sertis sur les conducteurs du dessus 2.2, 2.4 (
Une fois le sertissage des contacts 4.1 à 4.4 réalisé, on vient insérer en partie leur extrémité avant 40 dans chacune des ouvertures traversantes 50.1 à 50.4 prévues à cet effet (
On réalise alors le coudage, à 90° dans l'exemple illustré, des contacts 4.1 à 4.4 dont l'extrémité avant 40 est logée dans les logements 50.1 à 50.4 de la portion avant 50 de l'isolant 5 (
On pousse ensuite les contacts 4.1 à 4.4 dans l'isolant 5 jusqu'à ils soient en position dans ce dernier, c'est-à-dire avec les extrémités avant 40 des contacts 4.1 à 4.4 logés complètement dans la portion avant 50 de l'isolant 5, les extrémités arrières 41 des contacts courts 4.1, 4.3 logés dans leur rainure respective 54.1, 54.3 et les contacts longs 4.2, 4.4 superposés (
Sur cette
Puis on vient encliqueter dans la portion arrière 51 de l'isolant 5, la pièce isolante 9 par insertion préalable transversalement à son axe Y (
Lorsque l'encliquetage des moyens ad'hoc 90 est réalisé autour de la paroi centrale de la portion arrière 51, tous les contacts 4.1 à 4.4 sont maintenus par la pièce 9, isolés les uns des autres et les contacts longs 4.2, 4.4 sont isolés de l'extérieur (
A ce stade, le connecteur multi-contacts coudé 1 selon l'invention est assemblé avec les contacts 4.1 à 4.4 sertis aux conducteurs isolés 2.1 à 2.4 du câble, qui sont maintenus dans l'isolant 5 par leur insertion dans la portion avant 50 et le blocage assuré par la pièce isolante 9 dans la portion arrière de l'isolant 5.At this stage, the angled multi-contact connector 1 according to the invention is assembled with the contacts 4.1 to 4.4 crimped to the insulated conductors 2.1 to 2.4 of the cable, which are held in the
Pour finaliser l'assemblage d'un ensemble de connexion complet 11 intégrant le connecteur coudé selon l'invention, on réalise ensuite les étapes suivantes.To finalize the assembly of a
On introduit la portion avant 50 de l'isolant 5 dans la portion avant 60 d'un corps conducteur coudé 6 (
On ferme ensuite le capot conducteur 8 sur la portion arrière 61 du corps coudé 6, de façon à maintenir à l'intérieur du corps la partie de connecteur comportant les contacts 4.1 à 4.4 sertis aux conducteurs 2.1 à 2.4 du câble 2 (
On réalise ensuite le sertissage du capot 8 sur la portion arrière 61 du corps conducteur 6 au moyen de la portion de sertissage 81 et le sertissage sur la gaine isolante externe 20 du câble 2 au moyen de la portion de sertissage 82 (
Une fois ce sertissage du capot 8 réalisé, on obtient un connecteur coudé 1 qui est blindé à sa périphérie.Once this crimping of the
Pour finaliser l'assemblage de l'ensemble de connexion, on vient réaliser une pré-insertion du corps conducteur 6 avec le câble 2 dans le boitier 3 (

Les contacts courts 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7 sont donc reçus et maintenus individuellement dans l'une des quatre rainures 54.1, 54.3, 54.5, 54.7 parallèles, ménagées à cet effet dans la portion arrière 51 de l'isolant 5.The short contacts 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7 are thus individually received and maintained in one of the four parallel grooves 54.1, 54.3, 54.5, 54.7 formed for this purpose in the

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de mise en oeuvre qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the implementation examples which have just been described.
D'autres variantes et améliorations peuvent être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.Other variants and improvements may be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
Dans tous les modes illustrés aux
Dans le cadre de l'invention, on peut très bien envisager d'agencer les contacts sur un nombre supérieur de rangées superposées, avec les contacts les plus courts dans la rangée du dessous au fond des rainures, les contacts longs dans la rangée du dessus, et ceux de longueur intermédiaire dans la ou les rangées intermédiaires.In the context of the invention, one can very well envisage arranging the contacts on a greater number of superimposed rows, with the shorter contacts in the row from below to the bottom of the grooves, the long contacts in the row from above , and those of intermediate length in the intermediate row or rows.
Dans ce mode, la pièce isolante 9 présente alors une forme générale en multiple U accolés les uns aux autres, en particulier en double U et les rainures de l'isolant 5 sont plus profondes afin d'accueillir un nombre de rangées superposées supérieur, au moins trois. Dans ce mode, la branche inférieure 91 et la ou les branches internes au multiple U permettent toujours d'isoler les contacts superposés entre eux et la branche externe 92 permet d'isoler les rangées des contacts les plus longs du capot conducteur 8.In this mode, the insulating

Dans cette variante illustrée, la rangée des deux contacts les plus courts 4.1, 4.2 est reçus et maintenus parallèles individuellement dans l'une des deux rainures 54.1, 54.2 parallèles, ménagées à cet effet dans la portion arrière 51 de l'isolant 5.In this variant illustrated, the row of the two shortest contacts 4.1, 4.2 is received and kept parallel individually in one of the two parallel grooves 54.1, 54.2 formed for this purpose in the
Dans cette variante illustrée, la pièce isolante 9 présente une forme en triple U accolés délimitées par quatre branches 91, 92, 96, 97. Comme dans les variantes illustrées déjà commentées, la face d'isolation externe 92 selon cette variante des

Si dans les modes de réalisation illustrés, les contacts illustrés 4.1 à 4.8 sont fixés par sertissage aux conducteurs 2.1 à 2.8 du câble, on peut très bien envisager qu'ils soient soudés à ces derniers.If in the illustrated embodiments, the contacts illustrated 4.1 to 4.8 are crimped to the conductors 2.1 to 2.8 of the cable, it is very likely that they are welded to them.
Egalement si dans les modes de réalisation illustrés, les contacts illustrés 4.1 à 4.8 sont coudés après leur insertion partielle dans la portion avant 50 de l'isolant 5, ils peuvent l'être également avant leur insertion partielle. Cette variante peut s'appliquer à des contacts soudés ou sertis.Also if in the embodiments shown, the contacts illustrated 4.1 to 4.8 are bent after their partial insertion in the
