Abstract

Ribbon cable connector with user-defined electrical connection. Previously manufactured ribbon cable connectors which are assembled by a single push-in action only permit simple pin to pin connection. In many applications in the manufacture of cables it is desirable to be able to achieve complex connections and at the same time retain the advantages offered by push-in connection of ribbon cable connectors. This requirement has been solved by the terminals 2,3 of the ribbon cable connector being connected together via a removable control circuit 4 made of parallel electrically conductive planes or parallel circuit boards which can bring about a user-defined configurable conductive circuit by accumulation of their individual conductive functions. In spite of the cable's complicated circuit, all the leads of the ribbon cable are connected to the pins of the connector at the same time with a single push-in action without crossing or separation of the wires of the actual ribbon cable being carried out. <IMAGE>

Beskrivning och viktigaste känneteken Varje bandkabelkontakdon skall bestå av en fast kontakthållare och en bytbar kontrollkrets.Description and main characteristics Each ribbon cable connector must consist of a fixed contact holder and a replaceable control circuit.

Kontakthållaren har kontaktstift monterade fast i en hylsa av isolerande material.The contact holder has contact pins mounted in a sleeve of insulating material.

En del stift har till en ände knivar för att skära bort bandkabelns isolering och åstadkomma elektriskförbindelse med kabelns ledare.Some pins have knives at one end to cut off the insulation of the ribbon cable and provide electrical connection to the conductor of the cable.

De andra kontaktstiften utgör poler för extern anslutning till en motsvarande anslutningspropp.The other contact pins form poles for external connection to a corresponding connection plug.

Alla stifterna kan kopplas internt till en av kontrollkretsens kontaktpunkter.All pins can be connected internally to one of the control circuit contact points.

Kontrollkretsen definierar förbindelseschema genom att göra selektiva kopplingar mellan kontakthålarens stifter.The control circuit defines the connection diagram by making selective connections between the pins of the contact holder.

Kontrollkretsen kan byggas av en eller flera parallella elförande planer.The control circuit can be built by one or more parallel electrical plans.

De ledande planen kan vara tillverkade för exempel i form av metall lameller eller tunna kretskort.The conductive planes can be made, for example, in the form of metal slats or thin circuit boards.

De ledande planerna ska vara isolerade från varandra med isoleringlack eller annat isolerande material.The leading plans must be insulated from each other with insulating varnish or other insulating material.

Varje plan definierar en elektrisk förbindelse mellan enligt önskemål valda kontakdosstift.Each plane defines an electrical connection between the desired socket pins.

Förbindelsepunkterna åstakomms genom planets utformning eller genom selektiv isolering, d v s fysisk bryta respektiv isolera med någon form av isolerande material de potentiella förbindelse punkter som inte behövs.The connection points are achieved through the design of the plane or through selective insulation, ie physically breaking or insulating with some form of insulating material the potential connection points that are not needed.

Kontrollkretsen innehåler en eller flera elektriskt ledande parallela planer som genom sina kumulerade funktioner ger kontakdonets kopplingschema.The control circuit contains one or more electrically conductive parallel planes which, through their cumulated functions, provide the connector diagram of the connector.

Kontrollkretsen kan anslutas till kontakdons stifter direkt eller via elastomeriska kontaktlister.The control circuit can be connected to connector pins directly or via elastomeric contact strips.

En kontrollkrets kan vara: - predefinierat av bandkabelkontakdonstillverkaren eller användaren och vara fast inbyggd i själva kontaktdonet. - utbytbar efter montering med en kontrollkrets med en annan ledningsschema. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3 Beskrivninq av rirtnincïëgë (3 2 Fig. 1 visar en exempel av bandkabelkontaktdon med valbar konfiguration med lamellar kontrollkrets.A control circuit can be: - predefined by the ribbon cable connector manufacturer or user and be permanently built into the connector itself. - replaceable after installation with a control circuit with a different wiring diagram. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3 Description of rirtnincïëgë (3 2 Fig. 1 shows an example of band cable connector with selectable configuration with lamellar control circuit.

Each lamella 7 can be mechanically designed so that it has electrical contact points in the positions corresponding to the pins of the connector which it is desired to connect together. The second is a lamella type 14 where the contact surface of the lamella is insulated with insulating material 12 in such a way that the non-insulated surfaces 13 correspond in position with the pins of the connector which it is desired to connect together.
