Description

J.C.Collier 14-5X 1 1 8Q 8) 6 6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR This invention
relates to electrical connectors, and in particular to electrical connectors for making an electrical connection between one or more insulated conductors and a printed circuit board. By the term insulated conductor there is herein meant to include solid conductors and stranded conductors together with other types of conductors such as tinsel conductors, whenever insulated by a covering of insulating material.
A standard type of electrical connector for printed circuit boards has contacts which pass through the plated through holes of the PCB and are subsequently soldered in position. An alternative surface mounted connector has contacts which are soldered in place to pads on the surface of the printed/ circuit board. An example of this type of connector is UK Patent No. 2161658. In this type of connector the contacts are essentially wire-like, and the body of the connector is simply a housing for the contacts.
Another type of connector is the edge connector which clips over the edge of a printed circuit board, often involving a pivoting of the PCB with respect to the connector. An example of this type of connector is UK Patent No. 1572363. Although the contact design of this type of connector is generally more complex than the simple wire-like 2 contacts, the body of the connector is still merely a housing for the contacts.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector with certain advantages over the abovementioned connections.
Accordingly there is provided an electrical connector for making an electrical connection between one or more insulated conductors and a printed circuit board, the connector comprising an insulating housing, the housing having one or more conductor receiving cavities and at least one conductor entrance through which one or more insulated conductors may be introduced into the one or more conductor receiving cavities, and one or more contact receiving openings communicating between the one or more conductor receiving cavities and the exterior of the connector; the insulating housing being further provided with attachment means adapted to secure the housing to a printed circuit board in a releasable manner, the attachment means being such that a rectilinear movement between the printed circuit board and the insulating housing causes the housing to be secured to, or released from, the printed circuit board.
The connector of the present invention adapts the concept of the pluggable telephone connector, in which termination of insulated conductors is carried out in situ within the housing of the connector, for use with printed circuit boards. The connector housing is secured directly to a printed circuit board, without the need for the traditional telephone socket, or any female housing whatsoever.
The attachment means may comprise one or more latch members adapted to engage a portion of the printed circuit board and secure the insulating 1 1 1 3 housing thereto. Conveniently the one or more latch members may be provided by means of projections adapted to be received in corresponding apertures in a printed circuit board. An alternative arrangement is that the one or more latch members may be provided by means of apertures adapted to receive corresponding projections extending from a printed circuit board. Where the latch members are apertures. they may be in the form of key holeshaped slots. In an alternative arrangement the one or more latch members may be in the form of elongate ribs adapted to be slidingly received in corresponding slots in a printed circuit board.
The invention further resides in the combination of a printed circuit board and an electrical connector for making an electrical connection between one or more insulated conductors and the printed circuit board, the connector comprising an insulating housing, the housing having one or more conductor receiving cavities and at least one conductor entrance through which one or more insulated conductors may be introduced into the one or more conductor receiving cavities, and one or more contact receiving openings communicating between the one or more conductor receiving cavities and the exterior of the connector; the insulating housing and the printed circuit board each being provided with attachment means adapted to co-operate one with another to secure the connector to the printed circuit board in a releasable manner, each attachment means being such that a rectilinear movement between the printed circuit board and the insulating housing causes the housing to be secured to, or released from, the printed circuit board.
In this combination, a first one or either the z 4 insulating housing or the printed circuit board may be provided with one or more latch members, and the other one of either the insulating housing or the printed circuit board is provided with one or more apertures in which the one or more latch members are received such as to secure the housing and the printed circuit board one to the other.
The invention also includes an electrical connector as previously defined having a contact portion including an aperture and a resilient cantilever arm defining one edge of the aperture, the contact being such that a printed circuit board brought into engagement with the contact portion causes the cantilever arm to be deflected with respect to the aperture and the electrical contacts being movable one with respect to the other between a partly inserted position in which the electrical contacts are partly inserted in the contact receiving openings with the one or more tines being clear of the conductor receiving cavity, and a terminated position in which the one or more tines protrude into the conductor receiving cavity to pierce the insulating covering of an insulated conductor received therein, the insulating housing being further provided with attachment means adapted to secure the housing to a printed circuit board in a releasable manner, such that when the insulating housing is secured to a printed circuit board by the attachment means the cantilever arms are caused to be deflected with respect to the apertures, the resilience of each cantilever arm urging it against the printed circuit board to provide an electrical connection between a respective insulated conductor and the printed circuit board.
In order that the invention and its various 1 11 4 other preferred features may be understood more easily, some embodiments thereof will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the drawings in which:- Figure 1 illustrates an electrical connector constructed in accordance with the invention together with a printed circuit board suitable for receiving the connector, Figure 2 illustrates a printed circuit board suitable for use with the electrical connector of Figure 1, Figure 3 illustrates a second embodiment showing an electrical connector constructed in accordance with the invention together with a printed circuit board suitable for receiving the connector and Figure 4 illustrates a third embodiment showing an electrical connector constructed in accordance with the invention together with a printed circuit board suitable for receiving the connector.
Referring now to Figure 1 the connector comprises a moulded plastics housing 10 having one or more conductor receiving cavity accessible via a conductor entrance 11. The housing has several contact receiving elongate cavities 12 on one face in each of which there is mounted a contact 13 formed by a resilient cantilever arm one end of which projects outwardly beyond the face of the housing. At each of two opposite edges of the face there is provided a projecting elongate rib 14 which extends longitudinally parallel to the cavities 12. The projecting edge of each rib has a central abutment 15 which projects perpendicularly to the rib. The sides of the housing adjacent the rib each have a pair of projections 16 which provide faces f X 6 is which are coplanar with the face having the cavities 12. Optionally, one edge of the housing 10 at the conductor entrance end has a resilient arm 17 which extends upwardly, as shown in the drawing, and extends beyond the face having the cavities 12. This projection is shaped with a tapered form in direction away from the conductor entrance 11 and has an abrupt inward step forming a ridge 18. The arm forms one part of a latch for co- operation with a mating part on a printed circuit board to retain the connector on a suitable board as will be explained.
A printed circuit board is shown at 20 the board having on its underside parallel connector tracks (not shown) which extend from the leading edge shown and which are spaced to coincide with the spacing of the contacts 13 of the connector. The board is also provided with two parallel blind slots 21,22 spaced apart by the same distance as the ribs 14 of the connector and permitting the connector to be slidably mounted on the board with the ribs each engaging a slot. During this sliding action the cantilever arms of the contacts 13 are deflected resiliently and the contacts engage the tracks on the bottom of the board whilst the abutments 15 having their inner face contacting the top of the board. As the connector is slid onto the board the arm 18 is deflected inwardly until the connector is fully engaged when the arm snaps outwardly into an undercut provided in the slot 22 and is retained by the ridge 18. This mounting of the connector on the board involves a rectilinear movement of the housing relative to the board in that as viewed in the drawing the housing is moved first upwardly to bring the contact bearing face into contact with the 7 underside of the board and then horizontally to engage the ribs with the slots. In order to remove the connector from the board the arm must be first depressed inwardly so that the ridge 18 clears the undercut 23.
The connector of Figure 1 is also suitable for mounting on a board without requiring insertion from an edge and a suitable board which permits such mounting is shown in Figure 2.
In this arrangement the board is provided with a slot that does not extend to an edge of the board. it has an enlarged portion 25 which provides clearance for the abutments 15 and also for the arm 18 if provided, and two narrow portions 26,27 similar to 21 and 22 adjoining the enlarged portion. The housing can be mounted on the board by a vertical movement of the housing to insert the abutments 15 ribs 14 and arm 17 into the enlarged portion 25 and by a horizontal movement to slide the ribs 14 into the narrower portions 26,27 until the ridge 18 snaps into engagement with undercut 28.
Referring now to Figure 3 there is shown an alternative construction in which a housing 30 has a similar arrangement of contacts,conductor receiving cavity and conductor entrance as in Figure 1 and is shown with a cable 31 attached. In this arrangement the housing 30 has oppositely disposed flanges 32, 33 having surfaces, which are coplanar with the contact bearing face, each flange having two keyhole slots 34.
In this case a printed circuit board 35 is provided with headed locking pins 36 which are suitably positioned on the board to enable contemporaneous engagement each with an associated one of the keyhole slots by a vertical downward 1 X 8 movement of the housing onto the board to insert the head of the pins through the large portion of the keyhole slot and to secure the housing on the board by horizontal sliding movement of the housing so that the pins engage the narrower portion of the slot with the heads engaging the flanges 32,33. Again this mounting constitutes a rectilinear movement of the housing relative to the board.
The keyhole slots and ping 36 can be positioned assymetrically to provide a mounting discrimination/polarisation feature which ensures connection of a housing only to a board provided with suitably positioned locking pins.
The pins may be plastics and may be heat staked into the printed circuit board or they may be metal riveted or soldered to secure them to the printed circuit board.
Yet another possible construction is illustrated in Figure 4 and again a housing 40 has a similar arrangement of contacts,conductor receiving cavity and conductor entrance as in Figure 1 and is shown with a cable 41 attached. In this arrangement the housing has two dowels 42 and two resilient toothed latch arms 43 each projecting from the contact bearing face of the housing for engagement with similarly disposed holes 44 in a printed circuit board 45. To engage the housing with the printed circuit board the dowels and arms are aligned with the holes, the housing is moved downwardly to engage the holes during which the latch arm part of the housing is resiliently deflected and snaps into engagement with its tooth portion engaging the opposite face of the printed circuit boardlin this way it performs a rectilinear movement. The dowels and/or the latch arms can be A t 9 mutually positioned to provide a discrimination/polarising feature which ensures that the housing can only be mounted at a position on the printed circuit board provided with the appropriately disposed holes.
It will be appreciated that the co-operating mounting parts provided on the housing and on the printed circuit boards could be substituted one for the other. For example in Figures 1 and 2 instead of providing the ribs 14 with the abutments 15 on the housing, they could be provided on the printed circuit board and co-operating slots could be provided in flanges on the housing. In the case of Figure 3 the keyhole slots could be provided in the board and the locking pins provided on the housing. In the case of Figure 4 the dowels and latch arms could be provided on the board and the holes provided in the housing in for example a flange or in the contact bearing face.
It will also be appreciated that whilst the embodiments described employ two slots and cooperating ribs or four holes or slots and cooperating dowels, latch arms and locking pins constructions can be provided with only one pair of mutually co-operating parts e.g. a single slot and rib or several such elements and such constructions fall within the scope of this invention.
