Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector, particularly to an electrical plug-type cable connector for establishing multiple electrical connections in electric or electronic equipment, and which connector coacts with suitable single or multiple-pole contact carriers, for example, in the form of elongated insulated carriers, distributors, or special circuit units.
  • the connectors should be as small as possible.
  • the connectors should provide trouble-free and long-lasting electrical contact.
  • the contact resistance should remain constant over long periods of service.
  • the contact elements themselves should be such as to lend themselves to easy insertion into the contact carriers, the latter usually being in the form of supports or holders made of insulating material.
  • the mounting of the contact elements in these insulating carriers should, on the one hand, be such that the contacts will not accidentally loosen themselves, while, on the other hand, the mounting should permit removal of the contact elements if such removal is desired.
  • the connector asesmbly should be shock and vibration proof, as well as capable of functioning at elevated temperatures, i.e., the elastic spring elements should be fatigue-proof as well as substantially corrosion-proof, and also suitable for use in tropical climates.
  • the cable connector has to be connectible to a lead or cable in any needed manner to obtain the necessary electrical and mechanical connection, for example, by soldering, clamping, clinching or otherwise deforming.
  • the contact elements of this type consist generally of resilient metallic strips which are so designed as to lend themselves to the simplest possible manufacturing techniques.
  • Such connectors were found to have the drawback that they failed to establish reliable contact for higher currents.
  • experience has shown that, once the contacts were placed into the insulated holder, they could thereafter not be removed without being damaged or without undergoing deformations which adversely affect their electrical characteristics. the contacts could no longer be relied upon for re-use, or, if no attention was paid to the damage which the contact elements might have undergone, the operability of the unit using the connector could be impaired. The latter, of course, carries with it expensive and time-consuming repairs.
  • the contact is to be self-cleaning so as to avoid the natural corrosion which occurs when the contact element is made of base metal.
  • the contact-making portion has electrical reserves in the sense that there are a plurality of paralle'ly connected contact points to provide the lowest possible contact resistance.
  • the elastic contact elements are so fashioned, and are provided with spring strips of such length, that, under the anticipated operating conditions, the fatiguelimit of the material will not be reached.
  • the spring forces occurring upon insertion of the rigid contact element cooperating with the contact element according to the present invention are so balanced that, within the mutually eifective spring forces, there is sufiicient elasticity that mechanical vibrations of whatever frequency and amplitude will not adversely affect the electrical operability of the connector.
  • the contact element is provided, on the side at which another contact is to be inserted, with means which see to it that the position and operability of the electrically conductive spring elementswhich, as seen in the direction of insertion, are not reached immediately-will not be adversely affected even during rough handling and when the insertion takes place other than straight in.
  • relatively low contact resistance is obtained by providing a large number of parallely connected contact points, and hence a low contact resistance; furthermore, a large cross section is formed directly at the contact region, the arrangement being such that the abrasive action not only does not reduce the contact area but actually results in a larger contact area, thereby continuously improving the reliability of the contact during its life.
  • the arrangement of the connector is such that even if the two contact elements are accidentally separated from each other under load condition, arcing damage to the actual contact-making elements is, to a large extent, prevented.
  • the arrangement is such that the contact element can, without tools, easily be set into an insulating holder, the contact element mechanically detenting, i.e., locking, itself one or more times; the arrangement being, moreover, such that the contact element can be removed, without suffering any damage, so that it can thereafter again be used in other connectors.
  • the present invention resides in a contact member which is usable with an insulated holder having a receiving opening, one embodiment of which contact member is elongated and has consecutive first, second and third regions and includes two pieces.
  • One of the pieces extends throughout the length of the contact member and hence through all of the regions and the other of the pieces is connected to the first piece and extends throughout the second and third regions; the first-mentioned piece is fashioned, in the first region, as a contact-making portion.
  • Both pieces are fashioned, in the second region, as an anchoring portion for securing the contact member to the insulated holder, and, in the third region, as a lead-attaching portion at which a cable may be connected to the contact member.
  • the second piece in the second region, has a U-shaped part whose legs extend generally in the direction of the length of the contact member. and carry engaging means engageable on a shoulder of the receiving opening of the holder.
  • the legs are in- The legs are resilient wardly resiliently deflectable thereby to permit insertion of the contact member into the opening, as well as to permit withdrawal of the contact member once it has been inserted.

  • FIGURES 1, 2, 3, and 6 show one embodiment of an elongated contact member according to to the present invention, the same having what may be considered three distinct functional regions I, II and III along its length, namely, the actual contactmaking region I, the retaining or arresting region 11 which serves securely to lock the contact member to an insulating body or holder carrying the contact member, and the lead-connecting or terminal region III at which a cable is secured to the contact member.
  • the contact member itself comprises two pieces A and B, the former being shown, in development, in FIGURE 4, and the latter being shown, in development in FIGURE 9.
  • the piece A extends throughout the entire length, and hence throughout the three regions I, II and III, of the contact member, while piece B extends only through regions II and III.
  • Each of the two pieces may be stamped from sheet metal.
  • FIGURE 8 shows such a contact blade carried by an insulating holder 32;
  • FIGURE 8 also shows two contact members according to the present invention, both being carried by an insulator 12.
  • the left-hand contact member is shown as having been fully inserted into insulator 12 and locked therein, while the right-hand contact member is shown but partly inserted, before the detent or locking mechanism-to be described belowhas come into operation.
  • the contact-making region I of piece A is provided with four back parts 1 which are resilient independently of each other, as well as two front parts 2 which are larger than the parts 1 and which are likewise resilient independently of each other.
  • the resilient tongues 1 and 2 form, in the direction of insertion of the blade 10, a second zone of the entire socket so that there is obtained a trouble-free and reliable contact between the socket and the blade.
  • the cut-outs 3 serve for the self-cleaning of the contacts.
  • the contact-making portion further comprises a ring-shaped part 4, which is reinforced by means of corrugations, this ringshaped part serving as a protector for the parts 1, 2, and, since it is located at the tip of the contact-making portion, constitutes the very first zone thereof.
  • a slightly resilient ring-shaped portion 40 constituting a third zone of the socket, contributes to the over-all mechanical rigidity of the socket.
  • the piece A is provided with a strip-shaped continuation 11 integral and contiguous with the part of piece A forming the socket, this continuation 11 extending throughout the second region II.
  • the strip-shaped continuation 11 of piece A serves as a support for the piece B, the two pieces being suitably connected to each other, as, for example, by spot-welding or hard soldering. So much of the piece B which extends throughout region II constitutes the anchoring portion of the contact member as a whole.
  • This anchoring portion has a U-shaped configuration and its legs 6- are provided with two lugs 5 which taper in the direction in which the contact member is inserted into the insulating holder 12 (FIGURE 8), this being the direction opposite to the direction in which the contact blade 10 is inserted into the socket formed by the contact-making portion of piece A.
  • FIG- URE 9 which is a representation of piece B in development-shows the lugs 5 as tapering in the Opposite direction; the direction of taper, however, is reversed when the left-most part of piece B, as viewed in FIGURE 9, is bent over into the configuration depicted in FIGURES 1 to 3.
  • the lugs 5 are cammed to deflect inwardlyshown in phantom lines-when the contact member is inserted into the insulator 12.
  • the U-shape (which should be considered and is intended to include what might be more accurately described as a V-shape) is taken in the plane of the flatness of the piece, thereby imparting to the legs the maximum resilient returning force.
  • the piece A may be provided with an additional locking strip 33 which seats on an inner shoulder of insulator 12.
  • the ends 7 of the legs 6 are provided with openings 7' arranged to receive a tool so that the legs 6 can be pressed in the plane of the U against the inherent resilience of the anchoring portion. This allows the contact member to be withdrawn from the insulator 12.
  • the strip-shaped continuation 11 of piece A may be provided with cut-outs 14 which may be engaged by a suitable tool to allow the legs 6 to be pressed together from the side.
  • ends 7 fiat they may be bent at right angles to the legs 6 to form upstanding flanges, as shown in FIGURES 2 and 3, so as to make it possible for a person to reach in from the outside and manually to press together the ends 7.

  • FIGURES 2, 3, 4, and 9 show the lead-attaching portion as consisting of crimped parts in the form of holding flanges 15 and 25 integral with piece B, these flanges forming, together with a tongue 8a of continuation 8 (see FIGURES 2 and 5) which is bent back to lie between the flanges, part of the actual cable-connecting portion in region III.
  • the cable 16 is thus firmly contacted by the parts constituting region III, to form a good electrical and mechanical junction when the resilient tongue 8a is pressed together with the softer metal of which the holding flaps and the conductor 16 are made.

Also, the edges of at least flaps 25 are provided with sharp teeth or serrations 20 so as to enable the flaps to penetrate the insulation and to makecontact with the conductive core of the cable proper, as well as to increase the mechanical strength of the cable-to-contact member junction. In the illustrated embodiment, however, the edges of flaps 15 are likewise provided with the serrations 20.

  • the individual contact members are, during their manufacture and assembly, connected to each other by means of connecting webs 17 which can readily be removed from the contact members afterwards.
  • the contact-making region I may, instead of being a resilient socket member, be fashioned as a rigid contact blade, i.e., be a male instead of a female type connector.
  • a modified form of construction is shown in FIGURE 11 wherein the piece A is provided with a continuation 11' in the form of a male contact blade, the contacting portion thereof being indicated as constituting the region I of the assembled connector.
