- Arbuckle [5 7 ABSTRACT] provides a connector for flat multiconductor cable. Cables to be connected are inserted in slots on oppositesides of a housing, there being an upper and a lower contact adjacent the slot for each cable conductor to be mated. There is an eccentrically mounted cam for each upper contact which cams are commonly actuated to force the upper contacts into engagement vwith cable positioned in the slot. Each upper and lower contact has a pointed projection for each cable to be joined which projections pierce the insulation of the cable when the cams are actuated, pinching the conductor of the cable therebetween to assure good physical and electrical contact of the cable connector with the connector contacts. If there is a metalic ground shield on the cable, an extra pair of contacts are provided adjacent the slot which "contacts have teeth for engaging the shielding. A cam is provided for the upper of the shield engaging contacts which cam is operated by the same means as the other cams of the connector.
- This invention relates toa connectorfor'flat multiconductor cable.
- no.2 is a partially broken awa front viewalong line lnorder to overcome the need for prestripping cable
- FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 are sectional views along the line '3 3 of FIG. 2 showing respectively the connector before cable is inserted therein, after cable is inserted therein but before the cam is operated, and with the cable in the connector and the cam operated,
- FIG. 6 is a front sectional view of a slightly modified embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view along the line 77 of FIG.
- the connector l0- consists of a housing of dielectric material which is divided intoan upper housing section 12A of any special tools, (2 relatively simple in design and thus inexpensiveto manufacture, and (3) which per mits electricalconnection to be made to aground shield of a cable as partof the same operation during which electrical connection is made tothe conductors of the cable.
- this invention provides a connector for flatcables which cables each have at least one insulation covered conductor.
- the connector includes a housing havingat least one cable receiving slot.
- a moveable contact is mounted in the housing adjacent the slot, a separate moveable contact being provided 'for each conductor of the cable.
- the projections on the contacts pierce the cable insulation to makeis provided on the opposite side of the slot from each moveable contact, with the conductor of the cable being pinched between projections on the fixed and 4 moveable contacts when the cam is in its operative poand' a lower housing section l2B.
- -Sections 12A and 12B may be snap-fitted together with projections 14 on section 12B fitting into grooves. 16 onsection 12A.
- the sections may be bolted together, glued together, fused together by che application of ,heatand pressure after assembly, or held together by any other suitablemeans.
- Grooves formed in each of the sections form a cable receiving slots 18 which extend into the center of the connector housing from I each end.
- each contact 34 is positioned in each cavity 32 and is free to move laterally therein. Referring to FIG. 3 it is seen that each contact 34ha's an upper cam surface 36, the function of which will be described shortly, and angled leading surfaces 38 at each of its ends, each of which angled surfaces terminates in a pointed projection 40. Projections 40 normally extend through a slot 18 into partial engagement with the corresponding projections t 30 of contact 28.
- a channel 41 Extending through upper housing section 12A is a channel 41 having enlarged portions 43 adjacent each of the slots '32. Channel 41 extends above and perpendicular to. slot 18. A shaft 46 is positioned in channel 41. Cams-42, eccentrically m'ountedyon shaft 46, are
- Cams 42 and shaft 46 are preferably of a metalic material with a dielectric coating 44, the metalic material providing strength and the dielectric coating electrical insulation.
- cams of a hard dielectric material may also be utiIiZed'Attached to one end of shaft 46 is a squareshaped knob 48 having affixed thereto a circular flange 50.'Grooves 52 spaced 180 apart are formed in flange 50.
- Attached to housing 12A is a spring 5 4 having resilient detenting projections 56 at either end and an opening at its center through which shaft 46 projects.
- At least one wall of slot 52 is chamferred or angled so as to provide a camming surface to remove projection 56 from slot 52 when knob 48 is turned to rotate shaft 46.
- Slots 52 and spring 54 thus provide two stable, easily recognized positions, 180 apart, in which cams 42, shaft 46 and knob 48 may be positioned'and held.
- contacts 28 are first placed into cavities 26 of lower housing 12B. Contacts 34 are then positioned and nested on top of contacts 28. Next, upper housing 12A is placed over the projectingsurfaces of contacts 28,
- the two housings are secured together by snap-fitting, bonding, fusing, or other suitable means.
- eccentric shaft 46 with cams 42 positioned thereon and coating 44deposited thereon is inserted into channel 41 with the cams each resting in an enlarged portion 43 of the channel.
- the ends of shaft 46 rest on curved surfaces 47 formed in housing 12A at each end of channel 41.
- Cap 61 is then placed into an opening formed in the top of housing 12A over channel 41 and bonded or fused to the top surface of housing 12A.
- Cap 61 has end portions 49 with curved surfacesSl that engage shaft 46 entrapping the entire camming assembly in the connector.
- detent spring 54 is mounted on the shaft and secured to housing 12A and knob 48 is secured to shaft 46.
- knob 48 and shaft 46 are initially positioned so that cams 42' are as shown in FIG. 3 with their low dwells adjacent cam follower surfaces 36 of contacts 34. Since contacts 34 are not initially biased, they rest, under the influence of gravity, on the corresponding contacts 28 as shown in FIG. 3.
- contacts 34 are not initially biased, they rest, under the influence of gravity, on the corresponding contacts 28 as shown in FIG. 3.
- the leading edge of the cable bears against angled surface 38 at the end of contact 34 and rides along this surface and the angled leading surface of pointed projection 40 to cam contact 34 in an upward direction.
- the cable Once contact 34 has been cammed out of the way, the cable may be fully inserted into the slot 18 as shown in HO. 4.
- the exact amount of cable which is inserted into the connector at each end is not critical.
- knob 48 When both cables are properly positioned in the connector as shown in FIG. 4, knob 48 is rotated, for example counterclockwise, causing spring projections 56 to be cammed out of slot 52.
- knob 48 has been retated a full 180, causing cams 42 to be positioned as shown in FIG. 5, with their high dwells adjacent cam follower surfaces 36 of contacts 34, slots 52 are again adjacent projections 56, permitting the projections to spring back into the slots to lock the knob 48, shaft 46 and cams 42 in their new position.
- cam 42 As each cam 42 is rotated, its high dwell coacts with the corresponding cam follower surface 36 of contact 34, forcing the contact downward against cables 20. As this is done, pointed projections pierce insulation 24 adjacent the corresponding conductor 22 and make electrical contact with the conductors.
- the cable is distorted in the area of projections 30 and 40 with the conductor being pushed. through the bottom insulation and effectively pinched between the two projections to assure good physical and electrical contact between the conductor 22 and both-contacts.
- Contacts 28 and 34 provide a low resistance electrical path between the cable conductors.
- a bias spring or other biasing means may, if desired, be provided to normally hold contacts 34 in a raised position. With such a biasing means, the contacts would always return to this position when cams 42 are in a position with the low dwell of the cam adjacent surface 36. While such a biasing means does simplify cable insertion and withdrawal, it also increases the cost of and the force required to actuate the connector.
- a connector for flat multiconductor cable has thus been provided which permits connection to be made to the cable by easily hand-inserting the cable therein without any prestripping of the cable or the requirement of any special tools. Insulation piercing and electrical connection to all conductors of the cable is effected through the rotation of a single knob.
- a simple, easily fabricated, easily utilized connector for flat coaxial cable is thus provided.
- a cap 61 which covers the channel 41 and enlarged channel portions 43 in which cams 42 and shaft 46 are positioned projects above the surface of housing section 12A.
- a mating groove 62 in the bottom of housing section 128 for the projecting portion of cap 61 which permits the connectors 10 to be easily stacked as shown in FIG. 1.
- Suitable flanges may also be provided on housings 12 for wall mounting orotherwise mounting one or more of the-connectors.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate an embodiment of the invention which differs from that shown in FIGS. 1-5 only in that cable has a metalic ground shield 70 around it and in the provision of a pair of ground shield contacts 72 and 74 in place of the contacts 28 and 34 respectively for the right-most conductor position.
- Contact 72 has an angled leading surface 76 at each end which terminates in a row of shield-engaging teeth '78.
- Upper contact 74 has an angled leading surface 80 at each end which terminates in a row of shield-engaging teeth 82.
- Upper contact 74 also has a cam follower surface 84 along its upper edge.
- shield 70 is cut-back slightly before'the cable is inserted in slot 18. Then, when knob 48 is rotated to move the high dwells of cams 42 into engagement with cam follower surfaces 36 of upper contacts 34, the rotation of shaft 46 also brings the high dwell of the cam 42 adjacent contact 74 into engagement with cam follower surface 84, forcing contact 74 into engagement with the cut-back shielding 70 on each of the cables 20. With the cam in a fully operated position as shown in FIG. 7, the shielding is pinched between contacts 72 and 74 with the teeth 78 .and 82 of the contacts digging into the shielding to assure good physical and electrical contact with the shielding.
