Guy J. Lalonde BW//Wm Filed April 2, 1959 ATIORNEY finire 3,959,213 Patented Oct. 16, 1962 tice 3,059,213 ELECTRICAL CONNECTGRS Guy J. Laionde, 21-27 Murray St., Whitestone 57, N.Y. Filed Apr. 2, 1959, Ser. No. 803,708 Claims. (Cl. 339-176) This invention relates to electrical connectors of the pin and socket type which rare customarily used in a dielectric supporting block for the purpose of establishing a plurality of contacts.
Where a large number of electrical contacts are to be used in a dielectric block, it is important to make the contacts as small as possible without sacrificing the strength and dependability of the connection. In addition, such miniaturized contacts must withstand repeated assembly and disassembly as well as the effect of test probes during the useful life of the device.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector assembly which may be made to occupy a minimum amount of space and furnish a dependable contact structure.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector assembly which may be assembled and disassembled with ease.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector assembly which will lend itself to the use of male as well as female contacts, within an anchoring socket.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector assembly in which the contact members will remain in substantially the same relationship with respect to each other over prolonged periods of use.
A feature of the present invention is its use of a solid ring at the base of the socket member to prevent test probes from destroying the dimensional stability of the female contact within the said socket member.
Another feature of the present invention is its use of outwardly extending leaf members to lock the socket member into the Supporting connector block.
Still another feature of the present invention is its use of laterally extending ears on the socket member to prevent the said socket from being forced out of the supporting dielectric block.
The invention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as herein illustrated, described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof are illustrated two forms of embodiment of the invention and in which:
FIGURE l is a View in top plan of a socket member made in accordance with the present invention.
FIGURE 2 is a view in side elevation of the socket member shown in FIGURE l.
FIGURE 3 is a View in side elevation partly broken away of a complete socket and male contact member taken at right angles to the showing of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 4 is a top plan View of a second embodiment of a socket member made in accordance with the present invention.
FIGURE 5 is a view in side elevation of the socket member shown in FIGURE 4.
FIGURE 6 is a view in side elevation of a female contact within the socket member shown in FIGURE 5 taken at right angles to the showing of FIGURE 5.
FIGURE 7 is a top plan view of a fragment of a connector block showing the manner in which the contacts are staggered with respect to each other to prevent electrical discharge.
FIGURE 8 is a top plan view on a reduced scale of a flat blank from which the socket shown in FIGURES l, 2, and 3, may be formed.
Referring to the drawings and particularly to FIG- URES l and 2, 10 indicates the somewhat tubular body member of a socket 14 such as is used in the electrical connector assembly of the present invention. The body 10 may be spun out of a single blank of metal 26, shown in FIGURE 8, or it may be drawn upwardly from a blank having a central opening 11 therein. As a result of the formation of the -body 10, there is provided a split contact receiving socket 14, having a central opening 11 at the bottom thereof surrounded by a solid ring 12 of metal which can not be sprung out of shape by the introduction of contact members or probes. Lateral leaf members 13 are struck from the side walls of the socket 14 of the body 10. The leaf members 13 are somewhat inwardly bent as indicated at 15 in FIGURE 3 to act as anchors for the socket member 14 within a dielectric block 16. The socket 14 is formed with outwardly disposed ear members 17 at the top thereof. The ear members 17 are received within the dielectric block 16 as shown in FIG- URE 2 and form a stop member to prevent the socket 14 from being forced through the dielectric block when a contact member is inserted therein.` The dielectric block 16 is provided with slots 18 best shown in FIGURE 7 to receive the ears 17 and hold the upper portion of the socket together tightly. When it is desired to insert the body of the socket member 14 into the dielectric block, it is merely necessary to push the socket member into the bore 19 of the dielectric block 16. The outwardly extending leaf members will be compressed by the entrance portion of the bore 19 which is smaller than the span of the outstretched leaves. As soon as the leaf members are past the entrance portion of the bore and at the same time that the ears 17 bottom within the slots 18 of the dielectric block 16, the said leaf members 13 will spring outwardly into elongated recesses 2S cut into the bore 19. The recesses are shorter than the bore 19` and terminate in shoulders 2S which enable the leaves to lock the socket member 14 securely within the block 16. It will be seen from an examination of FIGURE 3 that the socket member can not be forced down because of the ears 17 and can not be pulled out of the bore 19 because of the leaf members 13.
The male plug 2) shown in FIGURE 3 may be slipped within the socket 14. The socket can also hold a female contact member. The socket 14 has an inwardly turned lip 21 at the top thereof which engages a groove 22 in the contact member 20 to lock it within the socket member. The contact 20 can be removed thereafter only by springing the inwardly turned lip 21 to release it. As shown in FIGURE 3, the contact 20 is provided with an elongated pin portion 23 which extends through the opening 11 in the socket member 14. The elongated pin portion 23 must be used to engage a female contact member (not shown). On the other hand, the socket member 14 may be used to anchor a female contact member as hereinabove stated. An inwardly spun rim 29 on the opening 11 serves to center the pin 23 and strengthen the socket at this point. It also acts as a guide for the female contact when the pin 23 is inserted into it. The spun rim 29 in connection with solid ring 12 prevents the distortion of the female contact when test probes are inserted.
In the event that it is desired to remove the socket member 14 from the dielectric block 16, or to remove a contact from the socket it is merely necessary to insert a thin forked tool (not shown) into the recess 2S of the bore 19 of the dielectric yblock 16 and along the body 10 of the socket member 9 thereby compressing the outwardly extending lleaf member 13 until they can lbe slid past the opening in the dielectric block 16. In this 3 manner rapid interchangeability of contact parts is possible with the present construction.
Referring to FIGURE 4 there is 'shown `a second ernbodiment of the present invention in which the socket member 14 is formed with four outwardly extending leaf members 24. Each half of the split contact receiving socket 14 has two of the leaf members 24 struck there-V from. The bottom of the socket 14 is provided with the solid ring `construction 12 having the central opening 11 therein hereinabove described in connection with FIG- URES 1, 2 and 3. The leaf members 24 extend outwardly from the lbody of the contact receiving socket 14, as best shown in FIGURE 6. The top Iof the contact receiving socket 14 is provided with lateraHy extending ears 17 in the same manner as that hereinabove described.
The operation of the second embodiment of the socket member 14 is identical to that of the first embodiment with the exception of the plurality of leaf members 24 which distribute the load more evenly beneath the restricted portion Ztl of the dielectric block 16.
Where a large number of small electrical contacts are mounted in a single dielectric block it is important to prevent electrical leakage or flash-over between them. In FIGURE 7 there is `shown a contact yassembly arrangement employing the sockets 14 of the present device with the laterally extending ears 17 so disposed with respect to one another `as to provide `the longest possible path therebetween.
FIGURE 6 illustrates the manner in which a female contact member is retained by the socket member 14. The male contact 20 can be inserted through the opening 11 in the socket 14 to complete the connection.
