Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Waterproof electrical connector comprises a contactsupporting inner cup, a cover snap-fastened onto the inner cup and through which conductors are admitted to said inner cup, and an outer cup snap-fastened to the inner cup which prevents separation of said inner cup and cover.
  • the lower part of the easing of this module is provided in a conventional manner with snap-fastening projections of the type currently used on terminal supports and the supports for cable mounts, which projections are adapted to cooperate with external longitudinal ridges on conventional metallic mounting rails.
  • FIG. 1 is a transverse sectional view of a module in accordance with the invention taken along the line I-I of FIG. 2 through the diametral planes of three of the six contacts positioned in two parallel rows with which said module is equipped; and V I
  • the contact support 2 is provided with partitions 2a shown on FIG. 1 which insulate and seal the individual seats of the various contacts.
  • a partition of the same type, perpendicular to the partitions 2a, is shown at 2b on FIG. 2.
  • the outer wall of the contact support 2 is provided, about midway of its length, with recesses 5 parallel to the connecting rail 6, and which permit a cover 7 to be snapped thereonto in a conventional manner.
  • This cover is provided with recesses for receiving labels 8.
  • the resilient female contacts are biassed by retaining clips 9 when they cooperate with the male contacts.
  • the cover 7 has a'central recess which receives an elastic sealing member 10 pierced by six holes for admitting conductors, which holes have a corrugated profile as'shown at 11 at the right of FIG. 1.
  • the sealing member 10 has recesses adapted to receive the upper end of the sealing partitions 2a and 2b and bears at 2c and 2d against the contact-supporting body 2.
  • the upper part of the sealing member 10 has six projections-ltla received in seats provided for that purpose in the upper part of the cover 7.
  • the assembly comprising the contact carrying member and the cover 7 is snapped into a lower cup 14 equipped in a conven-.
  • FIG. 2 shows the seat l7'for the shunt 4, the sealing compound 3, and the recesses 18 provided to receive the contacts but, in the example in question, only two rows of contacts, orsix contacts in all, are shown.
  • Fluid-tight electrical connector comprising in combination:
  • an inner cup member having a bottom and side walls defining a chamber holding a plurality of internal electrical contacts and shunt means connecting at least some of said contacts, 7
  • a cover member provided with apertures for admitting electrical conductors and means for making sealing contact with said conductors when received in said apertures
  • said means for making sealing contact with said conductors is a block of elastic material having portions received in the apertures of said cover member and encircling said conductors, said block being compressed between said inner cup member and cover member when interfitting snap-fastening means are interengaged.
  • said interfitting snap-fastening means comprise notches in the outer surface of the wall of the inner cup member, and flexible arms having hooked ends carried by said cover member so that said hooked ends engage in said notches
  • said locking means comprises portions of said outer cup member overlying said hooked arms when said inner and outer cup members and cover are snapped together.
