Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method of assembling an electrical connector to a cable according to the preamble of claim 12.
- Such electric connectors are typically used for shielded connectors on shielded cables as, exemplary, disclosed in US 4 634 208 A .
- the plug connector disclosed in US 4 634 208 A is made for a shielded cable and has a one-piece metal shell member as shield element in which a housing member, serving as a cavity block, is inserted and secured. Conductors of wires of the cable are connected to electrical terminals which are inserted into cavities of the housing member.
- a shielding of the cable is placed around a rear shell section of the shell member and a crimping retainer is crimped there around. A rear section of the retainer is crimped to the outer insulating jacket of the cable.
- US 6 231 392 B1 discloses a cable connector comparable to the aforementioned plug connector. The difference is that both the shield element and the cavity block have a box-shape.
- US 3 601 766 A discloses a cable connector holding a cable comprising a cable means, a hollow elongated element having an inside surface and an outside surface and having first and second open ends. The inside surface is threaded so that the hollow elongated member can be threaded onto the cable.
- the cable being a coaxial cable having a shield and a middle conductor.
- An end piece of electrically insulating material is formed to fit into the second open end of the hollow elongated member.
- An electrical conducting member is disposed in the end piece and protrudes toward the first open end of the elongated element so that when said coaxial cable is held in said hollow elongated member said middle conductor comes in contact with said electrical conducting member.
- the object of the invention is to provide an electrical connector according to claim 1, and a method of assembling an electrical connector with a cable according to claim 12, providing for an easy assembly of the electrical connector to a cable.
- the object is solved by an electrical connector comprising a retainer with a bore, wherein said retainer is adapted to be mounted onto an outer insulating jacket of an electric cable.
- the connector further has a cavity block with a plurality of cavities adapted to accommodate electrical terminals connected to electrical conductors of wires of the cable.
- a tubular shield element is made of an electrically conductive material and accommodates said retainer and said cavity block.
- the retainer has a threaded bore adapted to be screwed onto the outer insulating jacket of the electric cable.
- the retainer can simply be screwed onto the outer insulating jacket of the electric cable without the need to crimp a crimp section of the retainer onto the outer jacket.
- the assembly of the retainer is, therefore, much easier without the need to provide crimping tools.
- the thread of the threaded bore cuts into the outer insulating jacket providing a secure fit of the retainer on the cable. Further, cutting the thread into the outer insulating jacket provides a sealed connection between the retainer and the cable.
- the retainer can be made of an electrically conductive material wherein the bore has a contact section adapted to be in contact to a shielding of the cable. Hence, the retainer is adapted for an electrical connection between the retainer and the shielding of the cable. Even a retainer made of an electrically conductive material, such as metal, could also be used for an unshielded connector, when screwed onto an unshielded cable.
- the contact section has a cylindrical inner contact face adapted to be brought into radial contact to the shielding of the cable.
- the contact face can have an inner diameter which is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shielding of the cable so that a pressfit between the contact face and the shielding is provided.
- the bore has a threaded section along a part of its longitudinal extension.
- the unthreaded sections of the bore can be used for other purposes.
- the contact section can have an inner diameter which is smaller than the minimum inner diameter of the threaded section.
- the threaded section may also have an inner diameter which is bigger than the outer diameter of the shielding of the cable.
- An embodiment of the electrical connector has a retainer with a bore having an insertion section wherein the insertion section is cone shaped opening in a direction away from the threaded section.
- the cone facilitates the assembly of the retainer onto the cable. By the cone it is easier to insert a connection end of the cable into the bore of the retainer.
- the threaded section can be arranged between the contact section and the insertion section. This means, that the contact section is arranged farther towards the end of the cable than the insertion section for contacting the shielding of the cable.
- the retainer can have an outer contact face being in electrical contact to the shield element wherein both, the retainer as well as the shield element, are made of an electrically conductive material.
- the shield element can have at least one resilient retainer engagement tongue engaging an engagement recess in an outer face of the retainer, securing the retainer against pull-out forces in a pull-out direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shield element. Any other well-known fixation means can be used.
- the resilient retainer engagement tongue is a simple way to hold the retainer within the shield element.
- the resilient retainer engagement tongue can be cut out of the material of the shield element, in particular, if the shield element is made of sheet metal.
- the retainer engagement tongue can be bent inwardly towards the retainer in such a manner, that the tongue is pushed outwardly during the axial insertion of the retainer into the shield element until the tongue snaps into the engagement recess of the retainer behind a support face of the engagement recess. In this position, when pulling back or pulling out the retainer in a direction out of the shield element, the retainer engagement tongue is axially supported against the support face of the engagement recess, wherein the tongue cannot be bent outwardly by the retainer itself.
- the shield element can have at least one resilient cavity block engagement tongue engaging an engagement recess in an outer face of the cavity block, securing the cavity block against pull-out forces in a pull-out direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shield element. Any other well-known fixation means can be used.
- the resilient cavity block engagement tongue is a simple way to hold the cavity block within the shield element.
- the resilient cavity block engagement tongue can be cut out of the material of the shield element, in particular, if the shield element is made of sheet metal.
- the cavity block engagement tongue can be bent inwardly towards the cavity block comparable to the retainer engagement tongue in such a manner, that the tongue is pushed outwardly during the axial insertion of the cavity block into the shield element until the cavity blocks engagement tongues snaps into the engagement recess of the cavity block behind a support face of the engagement recess of the cavity block. In this position, when pulling back or pulling out the cavity block in a direction out of the shield element, the cavity block engagement tongue is axially supported against the support face of the engagement recess of the cavity block, wherein the tongue cannot be bent outwardly.
- the electric connector comprises, in an embodiment, a connector housing accommodating the shield element with inserted retainer and inserted cavity block.
- the shield element can have at least one resilient housing engagement tongue engaging an engagement recess in the connector housing securing the shield element against pull-out forces in a pull-out direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shield element.
- the housing engagement tongue is comparable to the at least one retainer engagement tongue and the at least one cavity block engagement tongue. Accordingly, the housing engagement tongue can be cut out of the material of the shield element.
- the housing engagement tongue can be bent outwardly towards the housing in such a manner, that the housing engagement tongue is pushed inwardly during the axial insertion of the shield element into the connector housing until the housing engagement tongue snaps into an engagement recess of the connector housing behind a support face of the connector housing. In this position, when pulling back or pulling out the shield element in a direction out of the connector housing, the housing engagement tongue is axially supported against the support face of the connector housing.
- the cavity block can have at least one terminal position assurance (TPA) element locking the terminals within the cavities.
- the at least one terminal position assurance (TPA) element is moveable between a pre-set position and a set position, wherein the terminal position assurance (TPA) element projects beyond an outer face of the cavity block in its pre-set positon. In the pre-set position the terminals are not secured by the terminal position assurance (TPA) element.
- the terminal position assurance (TPA) element projects beyond an outer face of the cavity block the terminal position assurance (TPA) element would collide with an outside edge of the shield element when the cavity block would be inserted into the shield element. As a result, it would be impossible to insert the cavity block into the shield element.
- the cavity block can only be inserted into the shield element when the terminal position assurance (TPA) element is moved into its set position, which can only be reached when the terminals are inserted properly into the cavities of the cavity block. If the terminals are not fully inserted into the cavities, the terminal position assurance (TPA) element collides with the terminals before the terminal position assurance (TPA) element reaches its set position and projects beyond the outer face of the cavity block.
- TPA terminal position assurance
- terminal position assurance (TPA) element when the terminal position assurance (TPA) element is moved into its set position, it is flush with the outer face of the cavity block and the terminal position assurance (TPA) element is held and secured in its set position by the shield element in an inserted condition of the cavity block in the shield element.

- the cavity block 3 has a flap like terminal position assurance (TPA) element 14 which locks the terminals 10, 10' within the cavities 13, 13'.
- TPA terminal position assurance
- the cavity block 3 On the outside the cavity block 3 has engagement recesses 15 for securing the cavity block 3 within the shield element 4.
- the shield element 4 is made of sheet metal and has a tubular form with an accommodation chamber 20, extending through the shield element 4 in a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis L.

- the outer face 36 servers as a contact face being held in electrical contact to the shield element 4.
- the shield element 4 is inserted in the mounting direction M into an accommodation chamber 21 of the connector housing 5 and secured therein.
- Figures 2 and 3 disclose the retainer 2 in more detail and how it is assembled to the cable 1 and described together.
