Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular connection system for electronic devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to a modular connection system for data processing electronic systems, which employs flexible flat cables for the connection of distinct units in the system.
  • the signals to be transmitted are often pulses having a rectangular shape, i.e. with leading and trailing edges which are extremely steep, the pulses being sent with extremely high repetition rates, of the order of megacycles.
  • coaxial shielded wires which are cumbersome and, when collected in a single cable, become mechanically rigid and difficult to arrange in conduits.
  • the systems installation at the customer site therefore becomes costly, requiring a large amount of time and making use of cables previously prepared in convenient lengths provided with factory prepared terminal connectors.
  • a quality connection between the cables and connectors is in fact essential whether it is accomplished by soldering or by crimping operations, to insure the correct performance of the system, and to prevent introducing malfunctions which are generally intermittent and whose origins are extremely difficult to identify.
  • the cables are therefore prepared at the factory in required lengths and undergo suitable tests before being sent to their respective users.
  • connection cables Inconvenience is caused by the foregoing in that for every installed system it is necessary to define the configuration and the length and arrangement of connection cables, in order to thus provide for their preparation, or it is necessary to plan for storing a large number of previously prepared cables of different lengths and types, to be chosen according to the needs imposed by any circumstance. Besides the inconvenience and the handling costs deriving from it, if the electronic system configuration is to be modified to add, replace, or remove some electronic units, it will generallyv be necessary to replace the connection cables which requires that the system be out-of-service for long periods of time, due to the period required for the changes.
  • bus connec-v tion
  • a controller device may be connected to several magnetictape handlers.
  • a group of wires is connected at one end, by means of a connector to the controller device and at the other end by means of a connector, to the first tape handler.
  • the cable end connector enters on an input connector set on the first tape handler; suitable jumpers connect the input connector to an output connector.
  • a second group of wires, forming a second cable is connected by means of a connector to the output connector of the first tape handler and at the other end, always by means of a connector, to a second tape handler.
  • the second tape handler also has an output connector, connected, by means of jumpers, to the input connector, and therefore it is possible to accomplish a cascade connection with a third tape handler and subsequently to a fourth and so on, up to a maximum number limited in general by the signal transfer time along the cable.
  • the signal transfer time cannot exceed a certain value and therefore imposes a limit to the total length of the bus connected cables.
  • An object of the present invention is to eliminate the inconveniences mentioned by providing the flat cable modular connection system, which is characterized in the factory and to subsequent tests, the normal continuous manufacturing tests being sufficient.
  • FIG. I shows a flexible flat cable structure known in the state of the art
  • FIG. 2 shows a terminal connection method, known in the state of the art, employed for a flexible flat cable of the type shown in FIG. I;
  • FIG. 3 represents the structure of a second type of flexible flat cable known in the state of the art
  • FIG. 4 represents a terminal connector, known in the state of the art, employed for a flexible flat cable of the type as per FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 represents schematically a preferred form of embodiment of a flexible flat cable according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 represents another type of embodiment of a flexible flat cable according to the invention.
  • FIG. 7 represents schematically a way to use a flexible flat cable according to the invention.
  • FIG. 8 represents in detail a connection mode for a flat flexible cable according to the invention.
  • FIG. 9 represents a first variant of the embodiment of connectors for a flat flexible cable according to the invention.
  • FIG. represents a second form of connection for a flat flexible cable according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 represents a very common type of flexible flat cable A.
  • a flexible support 1 of insulating material shaped like a tape parallel conductors 2, having a preestablished width, are obtained through photo-etching of a metallic fllm deposited on the flexible support.
  • a protective insulating film is laid by painting the film on the conductors, or as an alternative a continuous covering tape 3 is applied using suitable adhesives.
  • a continuous screening metallic. film 4 may be applied on one or both sides of the flat cable A which in turn may be protected by a possible insulating sheet 5.
  • the terminal connections are formed for this type of cable by stripping the end of the conductors 2, that is freeing them from the protective sheath, strengthening and passivating the uncovered terminals of the conductors by means of electrolytic plating methods and the subsequent depositing of noble metals, and bending the so prepared terminal of the cable on a conveniently rigid support, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the flat cable A is then blocked on a rigid support 6 by means of suitable clamping devices 7.
  • a terminal connector which can be inserted in a female connector of the type used for printed circuit boards, is thus formed by use of the same flat cable.
  • the terminals may be soldered to connection pins of connectors of the common type, having clamping devices for the flexible cable so to avoid the mechanical stresses of the soldering points.
  • the concept followed is always that of a flexible electric connection element, obtained from a continuous element with a defined length and provided, at the terminals only, with convenient devices for electric contacts. The cable must be prepared and tested in the factory and therefore the possibility of preparation at the users site is excluded.
  • FIG. 3 represents another type of flat cable B in which several conductors 8 with a circular cross section, parallel one to the other, are set on an insulating and flexible support 9.
  • the conductors 8 are clad and maintained in place by an insulating sheet 10 which is made to adhere to support 9 with suitable glues, or with other means or methods.
  • a suitable screening for the cable may be provided for, consisting in general of a metallic grid 11 set on a sheet 10 and in turn covered with an insulating film 12.
  • terminal connectors are used substantially similar to those already described.
  • connectors may be used whose connection between the wires and the connector contact elements is accomplished by means of an operation, known as crimping.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exploded view of a typical connector for the described flat cable B formed by wires with circular cross section.
  • the terminal connector consists of an insulating body 13 in which contact pins 14 are inserted terminating at one end with the same number of pointed forks 15.
  • the connector is completed by a rigid counterboard l6 having suitable cavities, in each one of which the end of a fork 15 is located after the assembly is completed.With suitable control means or jigs the connector body 13 is pressed on the terminals of the flat cable, from which eventually the terminal portion of the screening grid 1 1 has been removed. Due to this operation the connector forks 15 punch the insulating sheets 9 and 10 each one closes on a conductor insuring the electrical contact. The counterboard 16 is clamped on the body of the connector completing it.
  • FIG. 5 shows in its most simple form a flexible flat cable C according to the invention.
  • the physical structure of the cable C is identical to the one previously described and represented in FIG. 1 but at regular intervals I the covering protective tape presents some openings which leave the conductors 2C underneath uncovered. In these areas the conductors 2C are plated with noble metals to prevent degrading due to the atmospheric agents while also obtaining a local strengthening of the conductors themselves. Such a plating operation may be done by a continuous process during the cable production.
  • the flat cable when the flat cable also includes a screening or ground metallic plane 11D, this also will be provided with openings at regular intervals and of a size slightly exceeding that of the opening in the covering tape for the conductors 8D.
  • the edges of the ground plane near the opening can be plated and left uncovered as shown in FIG. 6.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 represent a possible method of use for a type of cable as described above.
  • FIG. 7 represents in its structural assembly'an electronic hypothetical system consisting of several distinct units.
  • the different units are distributed on a hollow false floor 17, in which the connection cables among the various units are laid down and fastened.
  • the false floor presents suitable openings 18 through which it is possible to have access to the cables C located internally so that the connection areas prearranged on the cables correspond with these openings. Through these openings it is possible to make the connections between the cables and the electronic system units. In all those modular positions in which no insertion of a unit is planned, the openings are closed with protective covers.
  • FIG. 8 represents in detail a particularly suitable method of connection within the false floor.
  • the false floor provides internally on the lower plane, and in correspondence with every opening, two parallel raised portions 19 and 20 which define a groove 21 having a suitable width and depth.
  • the portion of the flat cable in which the conductors are uncovered is inserted and folded in this groove 21.
  • the sides, the bottom and the upper edges of the groove 21 present a slight depression having a width equal to that of the tape, which is used for the correct transverse positioning of the flat cable.
  • a clamping bracket 22 maintains the flat cable in the correct position.
  • the assembly of the folded flat cable and of the portion of false floor described thus forms a female connector in which it is possible to insert either the terminal rack of a printed circuit board or a connector of equivalent type, as for example a connector formed with a flexible flat cable as described in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 8 represents a particularly simple connection system however, other solutions may be adopted in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
  • FIG. 9 shows a second form of the invention which is preferred for the formation of connectors prepared on flat cable.
  • the cable is provided with openings in the protective film covering the conductors, at regular intervals uncovering suitable portions.
  • two flexible tabs 22 and 23 are applied, consisting of small portions of a flexible flat cable with conductors at a distance equal to the distance between the conductors on the cable.
  • the conductors on the tabs 22 and 23 are suitably processed, for example by plating with noble metals to avoid oxidizing and degrading due to atmospheric agents.
  • the portions of conductors on the flexible tabs 22 and 23 are each soldered to the corresponding conductor on the cable and form a flexible socket in which a male connector of the type already described may be inserted.
  • rigid, suitably shaped 24 and 25 elements here shown at a mutual distance greater than the distance normally used
  • cooperating with the male connector are provided to insure the necessary contact pressure.
  • FIG. 10 shows how the same inventive concept may be used with a flat cable D of the type described in FIG.
  • the flat cable D is provided at regular intervals with openings on the screening grid and in the upper protective film. systematically, in correspondence to such openings, connectors are applied, of the type already described in FIG. 4. Male or female connectors are applied at random so as to obtain a continuous flat cable provided with a plurality of connectors at modular distance which may be cut in the required lengths on the installation site.
  • the cable preparation may be accomplished by means of continuous production with the aid of all the tools and simplified procedures which are allowed by mass production, with a continuous check on the product insuring its quality and reliability.
  • a female connector intermediate the ends of a flat cable having a plurality of spaced parallel conductors, which comprises a portion of said cable having said insulating material removed to expose said plurality of conductors and means adjacent said cable portion fonning a groove for receiving a male connector in conducting relation with said cable, said groove forming means having a pair of parallel spaced elements disposed adjacent the exposed conductors on said cable portion and a pair of flexible tabs having insulating material removed from one side to expose an equal number of conductors with the same spacing as said cable conductors, said tabs being positioned with the exposed conductors facing the exposed cable conductors and extending between said spaced elements to provide a conductor between said cable and a male connector when received therebetween, each of said flexible tabs comprise a relatively short length of flexible flat cable.
