Description

CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY This invention is concerned with a connector assembly and especially a connector assembly suitable for use in making an electrical connection to a printed circuit.
In vehicles, electrically heated door mirrors are commonly used. These door mirrors may include a printed circuit through which an electrical current is passed to heat the mirror. Various means have been proposed to provide electrical current to this electric circuit which have been inconvenient to assemble. A reliable electrical connector assembly which is compact but which provides for ready connection of the electrical supply to the printed circuit of the mirror is therefore desirable.
The assembly of this invention provides such a connector assembly but an assembly in accordance with the invention may be used to make connections to any printed circuit in a convenient and quick manner.
In one aspect the invention may be considered to provide a connector assembly comprising a first connector member of an insulating material adapted to be secured to a printed circuit in preselected orientation relative to conductors of the printed circuit and a second connector member of an insulating material mounting at least one terminal in a preselected position relative to the second connector member and with a portion of the terminal projecting from the member, one of the connector members comprising an opening within which a pillar of the other connector member can be inserted, the first and second connector members comprising formations which cooperate when the pillar is inserted in the opening and the members are rotated relative to one another to locate the members in a pre-selected orientation such that when the first connector member is secured to a printed circuit in said preselected orientation relative to the conductors the or each terminal is positioned with its projecting portion in electrical contact with an associated one of the conductors of the printed circuit.
In a preferred connector assembly in accordance with the invention the first connector member comprises a pillar projecting from a substrate of the printed circuit, and the second connector member comprises an opening within which the pillar is received.
Preferably the or each terminal is housed in a corresponding recess of the second connector member and retained therein by engagement of a locking formation of the second connector member with a locking portion of the terminal. Conveniently, the portion of the terminal projecting from the recess is resiliently mounted. Suitably the locking portion of the terminal is a projection and the locking formation is a resilient latch portion which yields resiliently as the terminal is inserted into the recess and the projection passes the latch portion. The latch portion springs back into place after the projection has passed, into locking engagement with the projection.Conveniently the connector assembly also comprises an insert which is introduced into the second connector member after the or each terminal has been inserted into the associated recess, whereby to prevent the or each latch portion being moved in a direction to release the terminals.
Preferably in a connector assembly in accordance with the invention, the locating formations of the first and second members comprise cam faces which slide over one another to urge the members towards one another in a direction lengthwise of the axis of relative rotation, as the members are relatively rotated in a first direction, each cam face leading to a shoulder, the members being resiliently urged apart in said axial direction whereby when the shoulders come into register with one another the members are urged axially away from one another so that the shoulders are positioned to prevent relative rotation of the members in a second direction opposite said first direction. Conveniently the connector members are resiliently urged apart in said axial direction by resilient engagement of the terminals with the printed circuit.Suitably the locating formations further comprise stop means which engage one another after the shoulders have come into to register, the stop means being position to prevent further substantial rotation in said first direction.
Preferably, the second connector member of a connector assembly in accordance with the invention, comprises a skirt portion arranged to sealingly engage the printed circuit, thus to militate against ingress of moisture, dust or other contaminants between the skirt portion and the printed circuit into the interior of the second connector member.
Preferably, a connector assembly in accordance with the invention further comprises a cover secured to the second connector member to militate against entry of moisture, dust or other contaminants into the interior of the second connector member.
Where the first connector member comprises a pillar and the second connector member comprises an opening within which the pillar is received, it will be understood that the pillar will be enclosed within the second connector member and thus where the second connector member is provided with a skirt and cover as aforesaid, ingress of moisture, dust or other contaminants into the connector assembly is substantially prevented.
There now follows a detailed description, to be read with reference to the accompanying drawings of a connector assembly embodying the invention, it will be understood that this connector assembly has been selected for description to illustrate the invention by way of example.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view of a first connector assembly; Figure 2 is a view of the first connector member in front elevation; Figure 3 is a view of the first connector member in side elevation; Figure 4 is a plan view of a second connector member; Figure 5 is a view of part of the second connector member showing terminals mounted in the second connector member; Figure 6 is an underneath view of the second connector member; Figure 7 is a side view of the second connector member; Figure 8 is a view in section on the line VIII-VIII of Figure 7; Figure 9 is a perspective view of a terminal; Figure 10 is a view, partly in section, corresponding generally with Figure 5 but showing a cover in position on the second connector member; Figure 11 is a view corresponding generally with Figure 8 but showing a terminal in position and a cover in position;; Figure 12 is a side view corresponding generally with Figure 10; and Figure 13 is a plan view of a second illustrative connector assembly corresponding generally to Figure 4 but showing a four-way connector.
The first illustrative connector assembly comprises a first connector member 20 (see Figures 1-3) adapted to be secured to a printed circuit in a preselected orientation relative to conductors of the printed circuit and a second connector member 22, each of the connector members being of a suitable insulating material, for example Nylon Durethane. The second connector member mounts two terminals 24 each terminal being mounted in a preselected position relative to the second connector member 22, with a portion 26 projecting from the member 22.The second connector member 22 comprises an opening 28 within which a pillar 30 of the first connector member 20 can be inserted, the first and second connector members 20,22 comprising formations 32,34 which cooperate when the pillar 30 is inserted in the opening 28 and the members 20,22 are rotated relative to one another to locate the members 20,22 in a preselected orientation such that when the first connector member 20 is secured to a printed circuit in said preselected orientation relative to the conductors of the printed circuit, the or each terminal 24 is positioned with its projecting portion 26 in electrical contact with an associated one of the conductors.
The illustrative connector assembly may be used to provide a connection between a printed circuit and electrical conductors but is described in its use as a connector assembly for connecting electrical power to a heated vehicle door mirror. Thus the first connector member comprises an injection moulded backing plate 36 for the door mirror and the pillar 30 is moulded integrally with the backing plate 36. Also moulded integrally with the backing plate are two location spigots 38 which are positioned relative to the pillar 30 so that when the spigots 38 and pillar 30 are introduced through corresponding holes in a flexible printed circuit 40 the pillar is in a preselected orientation relative to conductors of the printed circuit.
The locating formations 32 each comprise a cam face 42 facing towards the backing plate 36. Each of the cam faces 42 leads to a shoulder 46.
The pillar of 30 is moulded with a hollow interior a wall of which provides stop means 44.
The second connector 22 comprises two recesses 48 in each of which one of the terminals 24 is housed. The terminals 24 are retained in the recesses 48 by engagement of end faces 52 of resilient latch portions 50 with projections 54 pressed from the metal of the terminal 24 which is made of stamped and formed sheet metal in known manner. The latch portions comprise resilient legs moulded integrally with the remainder of the connector and have cam faces 56 facing towards the recesses 48. The terminals 24 are inserted into the recesses 48 from an end face 60, which in use of the connector assembly will be remote from a printed circuit to which the connector assembly is to be attached, with the portion 26 at the leading end of the terminal 24.As the terminal 24 is inserted in the recess 48 the projection 54 engages the cam face 56 thus pushing the latch portion 50 out of the way as the terminal 24 is inserted. When the terminal 24 is fully inserted, a projection 94 of the terminal 24 engages an end wall 62 of the recess 48 and at this time the projection 54 has passed the end face 52 of the latching portion 50. Thus the terminal 24 is locked in position within the second connector members 22 with its portion 26 projecting beyond an end face 64 of the connector member 22 which, in use, will be adjacent the printed circuit 40.
The latch portions 50 and walls of the second connector member 22 define a roughly square opening 66 into which project oppositely disposed keys 68. An insert 70 (see Figure 10) is inserted from the end face 64 into the opening 66 with the keys 68 engaged in corresponding keyways 72 in the insert 70. The insert 70 engages parts of the second connector member so that it cannot project beyond the face 60 of the member 22. The insert 70 prevents the latch portions 50 springing inwardly towards one another so that pressure of the projections 54 of the terminals 24 against the latch portions 50 cannot displace the latch portions; this the terminals 24 are locked firmly in place the recesses 48.
The second connector member has an end wall 74 from which the locating formation 34 projects upwardly, away from the end face 64 (see Figure 5). Each locating formation 34 comprises a cam face 37 leading to a shoulder 35. The opening 28 comprises two opposed slot portions 76 through which the pillar 30 can be introduced, when correctly oriented, into the opening 28. The opening 28 is defined also by a part cylindrical wall 78 which extends upwardly away from the end wall 74.
The locating formation 32 of the first connector member 20 and the locating formation 34 of the second connector member 22 are so positioned that when the pillar 30 is inserted through the slot 76 the formations 32,34 are adjacent one another. Thus, if the second connector member 22 is rotated in the direction of the arrow A (Figure 4) relative to the first connector member 20, with the pillar sufficiently firmly inserted into the opening 28, the cam faces 42,37 ride over one another thus urging the members 20,22 towards one another. At this time the central axes X,Y of the members 20,22 are coaxial. The cam face 37 of the second connector member 22 leads to the shoulder 35. When the shoulders 35,46 come in to register, the members 20,22 are again free to move axially apart.
As the pillar 30 is inserted into the opening 28, the projecting portions 26 of the terminals 24 engage the printed circuit 40, which is supported by the backing plate 36 (see Figure 5 in which only details of the second connector member 24 are shown for clarity). As the action of the cam faces 42,37 urges the members 20,22 axially towards one another, the projections 26 yield. The construction of the projections 26 is such that they are resilient, so that when the shoulders 35,46 come into register, the resilience of the portions 26 urges the members 20,22 axially apart so that the shoulders 35,46 engage one another thus preventing rotation of the second member 22 in the second direction opposite the arrow A.Rotation beyond this position is prevented by engagement of the stop face 44 of the first connector member 20 with a stop face 80 of a rib 82 of the second connector member projecting into the opening 28. Thus the members 20,22 are located with their axes X,Y coaxial and with their orientation relative to one another determined by the shoulders 35,46 and the stop faces 80,44. Engagement of a face 49 of the formation 32 of the pillar 30 with the end wall 74 also prevents the members 20,22 being separated by axial movement alone, so the members are locked in position.They can, however, be separated by first moving the members 20,22 axially together against the resilient actions of the portions 26 to disengage the shoulders 35,46 and then rotating the member 22 in the direction opposite the arrow A until the formations 32 are aligned with the slots 76 and, finally separating the members axially.
As can be seen viewing Figure 8, the second connector member 22 comprises an integrally moulded flexible skirt portion 84 which projects beyond the main body of the member 22. Thus when the second connector member 22 is urged against the printed circuit, the skirt portion 84 contacts the printed circuit and seals against the printed circuit, thereby militating against the ingress of moisture, dust or other contaminants into the interior of the connector assembly.
The illustrative connector assembly further comprises a cover 86 moulded of a suitable flexible plastics material, for example a suitable grade of polyurethane, which can be slidingly received about the second connector member 22. The cover 86 is moulded with opposite recesses 88 (see Figure 11) within which are received opposed latching projections 90 of the second member 22. The resilience of the cover 86 is such that as it is pushed onto the second connector member 22 the cover yields as it passes the projections 90 and then springs back into place so that the cover is held in position by engagement of the projections 90 in the recesses 88.
When the recesses are so engaged, openings 92 in the end portions of the cover 88, through which wires may pass, are positioned adjacent the associated terminals 24.
The cover 88 is thus secured to the second connector member 22 and militates against entry of moisture, dust or other contaminants into the interior of the second connector member 22 and especially the recesses 48 in which the terminals 24 are mounted.
The terminal 24 is shown in perspective view in Figure 9. As can be seen from Figure 9 the portion 26 is substantially bow shaped and the terminal is made of a metal such that the bow shaped portion provides considerable resilience, as discussed previously. The terminal has a projecting arm 94 which engages the stop face 62 of the second connector member to locate the terminal 24 with the portion 26 projecting a correct distance beyond the end face 64 and comprises arm portions 96 which, in known manner, are crimped to electrically connect to a conductor of wire inserted through the opening 92, and arms 98 which are clenched to grip the insulating cover of the wire or cable, in known manner.
Although the terminal 24 is connected to the wires supplying electrical power by crimping, other known means of terminal connection may be used, eg. soldering. Furthermore, the terminals may be configured to connect to other forms of conductor than wires, for example flexible printed circuits, in a manner well known for connecting terminals to such circuits.
In Figure 13 is shown a four way second connector member 23 of a second illustrative connector assembly in which like numbers represent like parts, as the first assembly. As can be seen this second connector member 23 includes four terminals 24 positioned, each spaced 90" about the central axis Y of the connector member 23. This second connector member can be used in cooperation with a first connector member generally similar to that of the first assembly including a pillar portion 30 which is shown in position.
In both the first and second illustrative connector assemblies, the projecting portions 26 of the terminals 24 are positioned in electrical contact with associated conductors on the printed circuit.
The second connector assembly may also be used in connection with a heated vehicle door mirror and is especially suitable for use with an electrochromic mirror where in which not only is the mirror heated but also where the reflectivity of the mirror can be changed by applying an electric current to an electrochromic area of the mirror. Of course, other uses for both illustrative connectors may be envisaged to those skilled in the art.
The illustrative connector assemblies are not only effective in retaining the terminals in good electrical contact with the conductors of the substrate, but also in militating against ingress of contaminants into the connectors for example, as may be met with in car washes. Furthermore, the illustrative connector assemblies are particularly compact so that mirrors incorporating such connector assemblies can be quite streamlined. The sealing aspects of these connector assemblies also avoid the need to the "pot" the terminals in a water-resistant material as is often necessary in door mirror connectors.
