  • the invention relates to electrical connectors, of the type comprising pins adapted to penetrate into sockets, both being borne respectively by suitable insulating blocks, which in their turn are mounted respectively inside two hollow outer supports generally metallic, of the male and female type, that is to say adapted, on establishing the connection, to penetrate into one another, with if necessary locking means to hold them there the assembly therefore having the form of a male plug and a female plug. It relates more especially to multiple pin micro-connectors.
  • the free ends of the pins are presented outside their insulating block, at a certain distance from the mouth of the outer metallic support of the corresponding plug.
  • this distance is rather small, so that the risk of a shortcircuit and even mechanical damage between the pins and the support is not excluded, by the presentation of a metallic body in front of said support, especially through the skew presentation of the end of the metallic support of the other plug of the connector.
  • scoop-proof the abovesaid distance is greater, which excludes the above-mentioned risks.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 of this drawing show respectively, each in half section and half elevation, one embodiment of a connector of the non scoop-proof type and a connector of the scoop-proof type, constructed according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 a connector of the non scoop-proof" type.
  • the pins of the male connector are borne by an insulating block 2, where they are for example held in place by a clip device 3.
  • the said block which is especially of thermosetting plastics material, is introduced and held in place inside a metallic support 4 (especially with a clamping ring 5 screwing at 6 on the said support), and with the interposition of a sealing part of rubber or other elastomeric material 7.
  • An interfacial joint is provided at 8.
  • a flange 4 is included by the support 4, to ensure fastening on one wall.
  • the female part, bearing sockets 9, is devised in analogous manner, with the block 10, the clip device 11, the ring 12, the elastic part 13 and the outer metallic support 14 on which the said ring is screwed at 15.
  • outer locking means are provided to hold the two plugs in connected position.
  • these means can include a ring 16 borne by a shoulder or boss 17 provided on the outer metalluc support 14, so as to be rotatable around the axis of the plug. By rotating, this ring, cooperating with a-peg l8 and helicoidal groove 19, tends to bring together and lock the two plugs, in combination with a spring such as 161.
  • the terminal portion 20 of the support 14 has been extended, and the support 4 is advantageously hollowed, so that the above-mentioned ledge 23 is all the more withdrawn.
  • Electrical connector with a male plug and a female plug, of the type comprising, in one of the plugs, pins intended to penetrate into sockets of the other plug, said pins and sockets being borne by insulating blocks, themselves mounted inside metallic supports adapted for mutual penetration, in combination with mechanical means for ensuring fastening together of the insulating blocks and their supports, and with means, actuated by an outer ring, to ensure locking together of the two plugs, characterised by the fact that there are provided, for a same connector, two types of metallic supports, distinguished from each other by a different length of mutual penetration, without other changes in the structure and assembly of the other parts, wherein one of the supports has a boss on which the outer locking ring is supported, said ring being identical for scoop-proof and non scoop-proof plugs, and said boss, in the case of supports of maximum mutual penetration, is channelled to enable the penetration of the free end of the other support.
