Definitions

  • Each of the connector members ASSEMBLY contains contacts mounted in bores formed therein.
  • the con- 5 Claims 4 Drawing Figsh tacts of one of the connector members extends forwardly from the bore.
  • a split insulator member in one of the connector [52] U-S. l. 339/75 M, member farm 3 ai f actuating plates with centrally 176 M mounted drive for moving the actuating plates in opposite l l Cl v w v 1 4 a l 4 H011 13/54 directions.
  • the actuating plates move the contacts of the conl Field of Search /7 nector in which it is mounted so as to mate the contact sur- 176, 184, 17 faces of the connector members.
  • the centrally mounted drive may comprise a shaft member having an actuating cam [56] Reierences cued mounted on it which, upon rotation of the shaft, causes a cam UNITED STATES PATENTS bearing to be displaced.
  • the shaft member may have a 2,794,l 5/1957 Jones .l 317/120 polarizing device mounted thereon coaxial with the shaft for 3,489,986 1/1970 Frederick 339/49 engagement with a polarizing device on the other connector.
  • the invention relates, in general, to an improved low insertion force connector assembly and, more particularly, to a very high density connector assembly having a minimum force transmitted to connector member components when the connector assembly is actuated.
  • the present invention provides a zero-force connector assembly wherein extremely large numbers of contacts may be utilized in the invention, yet the resultant forces produced by the connector when the contacts are actuated are minimized. Moreover, the resultant forces of the actuator plate against the cam bearing are partially cancelled which results in lower forces being transmitted to the cam bearing and the connector housing. Peak loads on the cam bearing surfaces are reduced in half which, in turn, reduces the sliding friction between the actuating cam and the cam bearing. Loading on the actuator plate is always compressive which is desirable when sustained loads are applied to plastic material. Moreover, central polarization means may be provided which are mounted surrounding the cam shaft.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the connector assembly prior to mating of the plug connector and the-receptacle connector;
  • FIG. 2 depicts a side view, partly in section, of the connector assembly of FIG. 1 with the plug connector and receptacle connector coupled together with the contacts of the connectors unmated;

  • the contacts 52 comprise a beam portion 152 having a contacting surface 154 mounted on the front portion of the beam 152 which extends forwardly of the front end of the front insulator 126.
  • a locking tine 156 extends from the rear portion of the beam 152 and abuts the forward-facing shoulder 144 in a manner similar to the contact 82 of the plug connector.
  • the contact 52 comprises a crimp pot 158 and a wire strain relieve 162 similar to that of the plug contact 82.
  • the front insulator 126 further contains an enlarged forward central bore portion 164 and a reduced diameter rear central bore portion 166 with a forward-facing shoulder 168 formed at the junction of the bores 164 and 166.
  • the rear insulator 132 contains a central bore 172 which is coaxial with the bores 164 and 166 of the front insulator 126. Further, at the rear end of the bore 172, there is formed an enlarged 90 bore portion 174 having an end wall 175.
