It relates more particularly to a female connector socket, for example an RJ45 connector, comprising a plurality of wires. Such a connector is typically intended for use in a patch panel, in particular in a high-density patch panel.

L'augmentation du débit de transfert au travers les câbles et connecteurs de type RJ45 nécessite notamment l'augmentation du nombre de fils tout en conservant le même encombrement. Par ailleurs, l'augmentation des débits nécessite également d'améliorer la protection du connecteur contre les perturbations électromagnétiques générée par le connecteur lui-même.The increase in the transfer rate through the cables and connectors of the RJ45 type requires in particular the increase in the number of wires while maintaining the same size. Furthermore, the increase in data rates also requires improving the protection of the connector against the electromagnetic disturbances generated by the connector itself.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURESTATE OF THE PRIOR ART

Le document US6116964 divulgue un ensemble de connecteur de communication capable de répondre aux niveaux de performance de la catégorie 6 proposés par rapport à la diaphonie finale. L'ensemble comprend une plaque métallique ayant une partie avant et un certain nombre de fils de contact terminaux allongés avec des parties de base connectées à une extrémité d'une carte, et des parties d'extrémité libres pour contacter électriquement un connecteur homologue. Les fils de contact terminaux s'étendent parallèlement et sont coplanaires les uns avec les autres au-dessus de la partie avant de la carte, et leurs parties d'extrémité libre font saillie depuis la partie avant de la carte.

Un signe littéral accolé précise le composant particulier.For greater clarity, identical or similar elements are identified by identical reference signs in all of the figures. A numeric reference sign designates a single or generic component. An appended literal sign specifies the particular component.

En référence aux figures 1 à 5, est représentée une prise femelle selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention par rapport à un axe longitudinal X et un axe vertical Z. La prise femelle représentée est de type RJ45. L'invention concerne plus généralement un connecteur de réseaux informatiques et de télécommunication tel qu'un connecteur RJ11, RJ12, RJ25, RJ45, ARJ45 ou RJ48.With reference to figures 1 to 5 , is shown a socket according to an embodiment of the invention with respect to a longitudinal axis X and a vertical axis Z. The socket shown is of the RJ45 type. The invention relates more generally to a computer and telecommunications network connector such as an RJ11, RJ12, RJ25, RJ45, ARJ45 or RJ48 connector.

La prise femelle comporte un corps 1 et un module 2 de connexion. Le corps 1 s'étend selon l'axe longitudinal X et comporte une face avant 12, l'avant étant défini par le sens du vecteur X. La face avant 12 comprend un orifice destiné à recevoir une prise mâle complémentaire de la prise femelle. Le corps 1 comporte des contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 destinés à recevoir chacun un brin d'un câble 4 d'amenée. Tous les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 ont la même orientation. Le corps 1 comporte également une face arrière 13, l'arrière étant défini par le sens opposé à celui du vecteur X, destinée à recevoir le module 2 de connexion. Le corps comporte aussi une embase 16, destinée à supporter un levier 17. Le levier 17 assure également un contact électrique avec l'embase 16.The socket comprises a body 1 and a connection module 2. The body 1 extends along the longitudinal axis X and comprises a front face 12, the front being defined by the direction of the vector X. The front face 12 comprises an orifice intended to receive a male plug complementary to the female plug. The body 1 comprises insulation displacement contacts 11 each intended to receive one strand of a supply cable 4 . All insulation displacement contacts 11 have the same orientation. The body 1 also includes a rear face 13, the rear being defined by the direction opposite to that of the vector X, intended to receive the connection module 2. The body also includes a base 16, intended to support a lever 17. The lever 17 also provides electrical contact with the base 16.

Le module 2 de connexion est un élément séparé du corps 1 de prise comportant plusieurs emplacements 21 destinés à recevoir chacun une extrémité d'un brin du câble 4. Le module 2 de connexion est agencé de manière à s'insérer dans l'embase 16 du corps 1 afin de pousser chaque brin du câble 4 blindé contre le contact à déplacement d'isolant correspondant. Selon la variante de réalisation représentée, l'axe du câble 4 est sensiblement parallèle ou confondu à l'axe longitudinal X du corps 1.The connection module 2 is a separate element from the socket body 1 comprising several slots 21 each intended to receive one end of a strand of the cable 4. The connection module 2 is arranged so as to be inserted into the base 16 of the body 1 in order to push each strand of the shielded cable 4 against the corresponding insulation displacement contact. According to the variant embodiment represented, the axis of the cable 4 is substantially parallel to or coincides with the longitudinal axis X of the body 1.

Le levier 3 est monté en pivotement autour d'un axe de l'embase 16. En position haute le levier 17 libère l'espace destiné à l'insertion du module 2 de connexion. L'abaissement du levier 17 lorsque le module 2 de connexion est inséré provoque le déplacement des brins du câble 4 blindé contre les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11.The lever 3 is pivotally mounted around an axis of the base 16. In the high position the lever 17 releases the space intended for the insertion of the module 2 of connection. The lowering of the lever 17 when the connection module 2 is inserted causes the displacement of the strands of the cable 4 shielded against the insulation displacement contacts 11.

Selon l'invention, les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 sont montés dans le corps 1 par l'intermédiaire d'au moins deux plateaux 14. Ces plateaux 14 sont parallèles entre eux. Les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 sont agencés sensiblement selon des rangés 15. Chaque plateau 14 comprend au moins une rangé 15 de contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11. Selon l'invention chaque rangé 15 est agencé sensiblement dans un plan P. Les plans P contenant les rangés 14 sont distinct et parallèles entre eux. Cet agencement particulier permet de décaler les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 selon l'axe longitudinal X et ainsi de pouvoir connecter tous les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 en un seul mouvement par exemple, lors de la manœuvre du levier 17 lorsque le module de connexion a été insérer dans l'embase 16 du corps 1 de la prise. On comprend donc que l'opération de connexion des brins du câble 4 blindé est très simple.According to the invention, the insulation displacement contacts 11 are mounted in the body 1 via at least two plates 14. These plates 14 are mutually parallel. The insulation displacement contacts 11 are arranged substantially in rows 15. Each plate 14 comprises at least one row 15 of insulation displacement contacts 11. According to the invention each row 15 is arranged substantially in a plane P. planes P containing the rows 14 are separate and parallel to each other. This particular arrangement makes it possible to offset the insulation displacement contacts 11 along the longitudinal axis X and thus to be able to connect all the insulation displacement contacts 11 in a single movement, for example, during the operation of the lever 17 when the connection module has been inserted into the base 16 of the body 1 of the socket. It is therefore understood that the connection operation of the strands of the shielded cable 4 is very simple.

Selon la variante de réalisation représentée, les plans P contenant les rangés 15 de contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 sont également perpendiculaire à l'axe du câble 4.According to the embodiment shown, the planes P containing the rows 15 of insulation displacement contacts 11 are also perpendicular to the axis of the cable 4.

Selon une variante de réalisation, les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 sont orientés selon une direction parallèle aux plateaux 14. De même, selon une autre variante de réalisation les plateaux 14 sont sensiblement parallèles à l'axe longitudinal X du corps 1. Selon cette variante les contacts à déplacement d'isolant 11 sont alors orienté selon l'axe vertical Z. Par ailleurs, selon la variante de réalisation de la figure 2, les plateaux 14 sont montés sur un support 18 pour faciliter leurs montages dans le corps 1 de la prise. La prise femelle selon le mode de réalisation représente comprend 8 brins de câble 4 blindé. Dans cette configuration chaque plateau 14 comprend 4 contact à déplacement d'isolant 11.According to a variant embodiment, the insulation displacement contacts 11 are oriented in a direction parallel to the plates 14. Similarly, according to another variant embodiment the plates 14 are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the body 1. According to this variant, the insulation displacement contacts 11 are then oriented along the vertical axis Z. Furthermore, according to the variant embodiment of the figure 2 , the plates 14 are mounted on a support 18 to facilitate their mounting in the body 1 of the socket. The socket according to the embodiment represents includes 8 strands of 4 shielded cable. In this configuration each plate 14 comprises 4 insulation displacement contact 11.

Selon la variante de réalisation de la figure 3, le module de connexion 2 comprend au moins une paroi de séparation 20.1, 20.2 permettant d'isoler au moins deux paires d'emplacement 21. Chaque emplacement reçoit un brin du câble 4 blindé. En d'autre terme, les parois de séparation 20.1 20.2 permet le cloisonnement des paires de brin et donc de limiter les interférences et la diaphonie entre les brins de deux paires de brins adjacents. Selon une autre variante, pour une prise femelle comprenant 4 paires d'emplacements 21, on prévoit deux parois de séparation 20.1, 20.2 formant sensiblement une croix. Une paire d'emplacement est alors position dans chacun des quatre secteurs formés par la croix. Chaque paire de brins sera alors isolés d'une autre paire de brins adjacents. Pour limiter l'encombrement et faciliter l'insertion des brins, les deux parois 20.1, 20.2 sont perpendiculaires.According to the alternative embodiment of the picture 3 , the connection module 2 comprises at least one separation wall 20.1, 20.2 making it possible to isolate at least two pairs of slots 21. Each slot receives one strand of the shielded cable 4. In other words, the separating walls 20.1 20.2 allow the partitioning of the pairs of strands and therefore limit interference and crosstalk between the strands of two pairs of adjacent strands. According to another variant, for a socket comprising 4 pairs of slots 21, two separating walls 20.1, 20.2 substantially forming a cross are provided. A pair of locations is then positioned in each of the four sectors formed by the cross. Each pair of strands will then be isolated from another pair of adjacent strands. To limit the size and facilitate the insertion of the strands, the two walls 20.1, 20.2 are perpendicular.

Toujours en référence à la figure 3, le module de connexion 2 comprend également un élément de liaison 30.1, 30.2 assurant au moins une zone de contact électrique 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 avec respectivement chaque paroi de séparation 20.1, 20.2, le blindage du câble 4, et le corps 1.Still with reference to the picture 3 , the connection module 2 also comprises a connecting element 30.1, 30.2 providing at least one electrical contact zone 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 respectively with each partition wall 20.1, 20.2, the shielding of the cable 4, and the body 1.

Ainsi, on comprend que l'élément de liaisons 30.1, 30.2 comprend au moins une zone de contact électrique 31, 34 avec chaque paroi de séparation 20.1, 20.2. De même, l'élément de liaison 30.1, 30.2 comprend au moins une zone de contact électrique 33, 35 avec le corps 1. Et enfin, l'élément de liaison 30.1, 30.2 comprend au moins une zone de contact électrique 32 avec le blindage du câble 4. Ainsi, l'élément de liaison permet de réaliser le blindage de chaque paire de brins présents dans les emplacements 21 du module de connexion 2.Thus, it is understood that the connecting element 30.1, 30.2 comprises at least one electrical contact zone 31, 34 with each separating wall 20.1, 20.2. Similarly, the connecting element 30.1, 30.2 comprises at least one electrical contact zone 33, 35 with the body 1. And finally, the connecting element 30.1, 30.2 comprises at least one electrical contact zone 32 with the shielding of the cable 4. Thus, the connecting element makes it possible to shield each pair of strands present in the slots 21 of the connection module 2.

Pour simplifier la forme de l'élément de liaison 30.1, 30.2, celui-ci peut entourer le module de connexion 2. Ainsi, les zones de contact électrique 33, 35 entre l'élément de liaisons 30.1, 30.2 et le corps 1 sont plus simple au positionner.To simplify the shape of the connecting element 30.1, 30.2, the latter can surround the connection module 2. Thus, the contact zones electrical 33, 35 between the connecting element 30.1, 30.2 and the body 1 are easier to position.

L'élément de liaison peut-être réalisé en deux parties 30.1 30.2. chacune des parties comprend une zone de contact électrique 31, 34 avec toutes les parois de séparation 20.1, 20.2. de façon à conserver le blindage de chaque paire d'emplacements 21. La première partie 30.1 est montée dans le levier 17 du corps 1 par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un insert plastique 36 venant également coiffer le module de connexion 2. La deuxième partie 30.2 de l'élément de liaison est montée dans l'embase 16 du corps 1 par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un sertissage 37.The connecting element can be made in two parts 30.1 30.2. each of the parts comprises an electrical contact zone 31, 34 with all the separating walls 20.1, 20.2. so as to retain the shielding of each pair of slots 21. The first part 30.1 is mounted in the lever 17 of the body 1, for example via a plastic insert 36 also covering the connection module 2. The second part 30.2 of the connecting element is mounted in the base 16 of the body 1 for example via a crimp 37.

L'invention est décrite dans ce qui précède à titre d'exemple. Il est entendu que la personne de l'art est à même de réaliser différentes variantes de réalisation de l'invention, en associant par exemple les différentes caractéristiques ci-dessus prises seules ou en combinaison, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.The invention is described in the foregoing by way of example. It is understood that the person skilled in the art is able to achieve different embodiments of the invention, for example by combining the different characteristics above taken alone or in combination, without departing from the scope of the invention. .
