Definitions

  • a flexible ribbon cable is a sandwich of flexible sheets of plastic having circuits printed on a layer of conductive material position between them.
  • One such cable is sold under the trademark Tape Cable.
  • the cable is a wiring harness for interconnecting electronic components.
  • the principal troubles encountered center about the connectors which join external electrical circuits to the cable. This trouble comes about because the cable is almost as flexible as a piece of heavy paper.
  • the severity of the problem becomes more apparent when one realizes that a'desirable cable harness could include thousands of individual conductors and, therefore, many thousands of plugand-jack connectors.
  • an object of this invention is to provide new and improved flexible ribbon cable connectors. Another object is to eliminate the need for exerting substantial mechanical forces on cable connectors without simultaneously eliminating the convenience of such connectors.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view which shows a conventional flexible ribbon cable
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary view of one end of the cable of FIG. 1 with the component parts fanned out to show the construction thereof and a zipper bead attached to the end of the cable to illustrate one embodiment of the invention;
  • FIG. 3 is a side view partly in cross section of the embodiment of FIG. 1 which shows two cables posed over each other just before they are zipped together;
  • FIG. 4' is a top viewof tw-o tape cables joined together in accordance with the teaching of this invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of FIG. 4
  • FIG. 6 shows a side view partly in cross section of a second embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 7 shows a side view partly in cross section of a third embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 8 shows how a unique wiping action occurs when the contacts close.
  • That exemplary cable includes a flexible sheet of material 20 having many strips of conductive material 21 embedded therein. One of the strips is identified as 21a, by way of example. Each strip is completely enclosed by the flexible material except at the ends (22, 23) where they emerge to form solder lugs. Thus, it should be apparent that a device soldered to the lug A, for example, is electrically connected to a device soldered to lug B.
  • the cable construction is shown in FIG. 2. It comprises two sheets 24, 25 of mechanically strong, flexible material such as Mylar, for example.
  • One sheet 25 has strips of conductive material 26 deposited in a predetermined pattern thereon.
  • the sheet 25 could be initially copper clad. Then unwanted copper could be etched away by well known printed circuit techniques. Thereafter, the upper sheet 24 is bonded to the lower sheet 25 in any well known manner, as by cementing or heat treating.
  • the lug ends 22 of the strips are brought out from under sheet 24 and formed into solder terminals in any well known manner.
  • the plastic sheets 24, 25 could be perforated at the ends of the strips, and then plating material could be run through the perforations and deposited on at least one outer surface of the,
  • the plating material should, of course, provide a good electrical connection, and the plastic sheets 24, 25 should withstand the 'heat required to solder a connection to the lug surfaces.
  • the cable described thus far is a well known commercially available product.
  • the problem is that the convenience afforded by the cable is ofl-set by the inconvenience of having to solder connections to the lugs 22.
  • efforts have been made to eliminate these solder connections through the use of plug-and-jack connectors of a type primarily designed for use with printed circuit cards.
  • the trouble with these connectors is that excessive forces are required to couple or uncouple the connectors, primarily because all connections are made simultaneously.
  • many printed circuit card extractors have been designed to provide the required extraction forces without doing damage to the connectors. However, these extractors can not be used conveniently in connection with tape cables owing to the flexible nature of such cables.
  • FIG. 3 An embodiment of one type of zipper connector is shown in FIG. 3. To orient the reader, the cross hatched part of FIG. 3 is taken along line 33 of FIG. 2. This particular embodiment carries forth the printed circuit technique used to manufacture the cable.
  • the zipper comprises a pair of continuous beads 30, 31 of interlocking plastic channels. This type of interlocking channel is well known and commonly used to close such things as plastic brief cases, for example. Here, however, either the number of zipper beads or the gauge of the plastic may be increased, as required, to provide added contact pressure.
  • the continuous head or channel 30 is first welded or otherwise joined to the Mylar sheet 25. Then the entire surface of both the sheet 25 and the bead 30 is plated with copper or other suitable material to form a continuous conductive surface extending from the sheet down into and up over the interlocking surfaces of the beads or channels. Thereafter, printed circuit techniques are used to etch or erode away unwanted copper. This leaves a continuous and unbroken strip of copper extending from the strip 26 of the tape cable, down into the valleys, and up over the hills of the zipper bead, as shown at 32. Then the second sheet of insulating material 24 is added in any well known manner to complete the cable laminate. A wedge slider (not shown) may be used to force the channel 30 from the position shown in FIG. 3 into the channel 31, thereby completing an electrical connection between the plating 32 and the plating 33 of a corresponding bead. This joins strip 26 and strip 34.
  • FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the two cables joined together.
  • FIG. 3 is a view, partly in cross section taken along the line 33 of FIG. 4. As here shown the two zipper beads 30, 31 are joined together.
  • one way of preventing lateral motion is to add snap fasteners 40 at any convenient points on the two cables 41, 42.
  • each cable is provided with outwardly extending tabs 41' which are snapped together at 40.
  • FIG. 4 the tabs are stapled together as shown at 43, 44. Still another way of preventing lateral motion is to pin or stable through the zipper chan-- nel or head, as shown at 45, 46.
  • indexing means are provided to insure a correct mating of the proper strip lines.
  • the strip 26 should connect with strip 34 and not with strip 48.
  • the snap fastener 40 indexes the two cables.
  • a short horizontal section of zipper head 49 indexes the two cables.
  • one or more supplemental snap fasteners are provided as shown at 48a.
  • a continuous strip of snap fasteners could be provided.
  • each bifurcated tooth preferably has two integral pins 50, 51, which are soldered to the cable strip 26, as shown at 52, 53.
  • the zipper tooth backing material 54 is welded to the cable and the conductive material of the strip is deposited through use of printed circuit technique.
  • a sliding wedge forces the two tooth parts 56, 57 together, or pulls them apart.
  • the teeth grip each other under spring tension to provide added contact pressure. This gripping force is here exemplified by the two double ended arrows E, F.
  • FIG. 7 adds contact pressure through the use of a bifurcated zipper tooth 60.
  • the spring tension of each tooth pushes against the spring tension of both of its adjacent teeth, as shown by the double-ended arrows G, H, for example.
  • Insulating teeth 61, 62 sepanate adjacent electrical circuits.
  • nylon teeth are used as insulators; however, other suitable materials may be used also.
  • contact shielding may be provided by grounding zipper teeth adjacent currentcarrying zipper teeth. Hence, if ground 69 is applied at 65 in any of the figures, it will prevent a capacity coupling between the conductors or zipper teeth 66, 67.
  • each circuit is completed through twin contacts. This redundance of contacts greatly reduces the probability of failures.
  • each embodiment of the invention includes both the wiping action and the redundancy of contacts.
  • redundancy may be multiplied endlessly by the simple expedient of adding sections to the zipper bead.
  • a flexible ribbon cable comprising at least one sheet of flexible insulating material having strip conductors printed thereon, a plastic zipper bead of interlocking channels joined to said material, and means for electrically extending said strip into said zipper bead, whereby the strips of two flexible ribbon cables may be connected by joining the interlocking channels of two zipper heads.
  • An electrical connector comprising at least one flexible ribbon cable having a zipper half attached thereto, means comprising a mating half of said zipper for conducting electric current to and from said cable, and pressure-applying means for applying a predetermined contact pressure at the points of contacts between said two zipper halves, wherein said means for applying contact pressure comprises a pair of mating beads having a plurality of channels of heavy gauge plastic material.
