Definitions
- ABSTRACT A one-piece molded hermaphroditic electrical connector for a multi-conductor cable.
- the connector includes a plurality of contacts, each of which are front releasable and rear removable.
- the contacts are selfretaining within the one-piece molded housing so that the contact does not unseat during mating.
- the housing further includes a molded-in projection and slot that engage a corresponding slot and projection in another identical housing, when mated therewith, to retain the two housings together.
- This invention relates to a hermaphroditic electrical connector for connecting together two multiconductor cables. This case is related to case ELC 72/25 entilted Hermaphroditic Contact filed concurrently herewith.
- the structure of the insulator housing is relatively complex, requiring a high degree. of molding skill.
- the contact utilized in this housing was not sufficiently supported in the connector housing to provide a desired degree of mating reliability.
- the contact surfaces of the mating contacts were free standing and thus it was uncertain as to whether or not mating of the contacts would occur.
- the end of the contact that retains the contact within the connector may disengage, upon mating or after frequent matings, causing the contact to dislodge and prevent a proper electrical connection.
- Another example of spring type contacts may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 2,891,103 entitled Detachable Block" issued June 16, 1959 to R. C. Swengel.
- the retaining end of the contact is on the side opposite the mating surface of the contact and mismating of the contacts will cause release of the contact from the connector housing.
- This invention is a hermaphroditic electrical connector that provides secure retention for rear removable contacts and a latching mechanism which secures each half of the connector together once mated.
- the invention is a one-piece hermaphroditic connector housing 20 characterized by several rectangular fingers 25, each having mounted thereon a portion of a hermaphroditic contact that is retained within the housing by the resilient action of one end portion 13 of the contact 10 that has an end 7 that engages a groove 33 in the housing 20.
- the hermaphroditic connector is further characterized by the fact that. the contacts 10 retained within the connector are selfretained, front releasable and rear removable and the connector includes means 28,29 to retain two identical housings 20 in mated relationship.
- the hermaphroditic electrical connector for a multi-conductor cable that incorporates the principles of this invention comprises: a one-piece molded insulating block 20 having a front face 21, a rear face 22, a plurality of axially aligned passages 26 extending through said insulator 20 from said front face 21 to said rear face 22, and a plurality of axially aligned and nonround forwardly extending fingers 25 arranged in spaced relationship and extending from said front face 21, each of said fingers 25 having a pair of slots 27 in one side thereof that communicates with the passage 23, 26 and is adapted to receive a portion 11 of a contact 10, the spaces 40 between adjacent fingers 25 adapted and sized to mate with the fingers of a second identical connector; a plurality of electrical contacts each having a first end portion 14, 16, 18 for receiving an electrical conductor and a resiliently compressible folded section 11,12 which includes a shaft portion 11 and an opposite mating surface 12 which terminates in a second end portion 13, each of said contacts 10 mounted in
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a hermaphroditic electrical connector embodying the principles of this invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the connector and contacts therein in the mated position.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an electrical contact used in combi nation with the one-piece molded housing.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a hermaphroditic electrical connector wherein each half of the connector assembly is identical.
- the hermaphroditic connector 1 comprises: a one-piece molded housing 20 having a plurality of electrical contacts removably mounted therein.
- the housing includes: a front face 21; a front face 22; a plurality of forwardly extending fingers that extend from the front face 21 to the rear face, each of said fingers 25 having a pair of slots 27 therein that extend the entire length of the finger 25; a plurality of parallel passages 26, each of which communicate with the slots 27 in the fingers 25; and a groove 33 in the front face 21 of the housing for receiving one end 13 of the contact 10.
- the housing 20 can be fabricated without the groove 33, it is preferred to have a groove 33 to provide more secure engagement of one end 7 of the contact 10 with the forward face 21 of the housing 20. It is the engagement of one end 7 of the contact 10 with the groove 33 that prevents inadvertent dismounting of the electrical contact 10 from its position in the connector housing 20.
- Each of the housings 20 have at least one finger 25 that includes on one side thereof a lateral projection 29. It is a function of this lateral projection 29 to seat itself in the slot 28 of an identical mating connector 2.
- the projection 29 is shaped so that it may be forced past the surface 41 and into the slot 28 upon mating. By application of sufficient axial force in a direction to separate both halves 1 and 2 of the connector assembly, the projection 29 will snap out of the slot 28 and allow the connector to be separated. In normal use, the seating of the lateral" projection 29 into the slot 28 retains the connector assembly in its mated position.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a partial cross-sectional diagram of the hermaphroditic electrical connector illustrated in FIG. 1 in mated relationship. This figure illustrates how the rectangular fingers 25 mate with each other to form a single rectangular structure or block of material that may be readily mounted to a structure.
- the electrical contact is retained within the housing 20 by engagement of the free end 7 with the groove or slot 33 in the forward face 21 of the housing and by engagement of the contact flange 14 with an internal shoulder 24 of the housing 20. It can be readily appreciated from this figure that, because of the particular shape of the contact 10, when pressure is applied to the mating surfaces 12 and the curved portion 6 touches the shaft portion 11, the free ends of the contact 7, which are on the same side of the contact as the mating surfaces 12, will extend toward the mating surface and away from the passage 23. Therefore, the forces applied to the contact and upon mating results in the deflection of the free end 7 of the contact 10 in a direction that provides secure retention of the contact from rearward movement.
- FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of an electrical contact 10 that can be used with the hermaphroditic electrical connector to accomplish the objects of this invention.
- the contact 10 comprises: a conductor receiving portion 14,15,16,17,18 and a resiliently compressible folded section 11,12.
- the folded section includes a shaft portion 11 and an opposite mating surface 12 which terminates in an end portion 13 having a retaining end 7. It is a function of the retaining end 7 to engage the front face 21 of the connector housing 20 and prevent rearward movement of the contact 10 after it is inserted into the housing 20.
- the retaining end 7 of the contact 10 engages the slotted groove 33 in the front face of the housing 21.
- the conductor receiving portion of the contact 10 includes one or more crimpable or compressible porretain tions 14,16,18 that are crimped into the incoming conductor (not shown). It is the function of the forward most of these flanges 14 to engage an internal shoulder 24, FIG. 2 within the housing 20 so as to prevent further forward movement of the contact 10 when it is inserted into the rear of a passage 26 in the housing 20. Obviously, the rear end of the contact 10 may be moditied in a manner that would make it most adaptable to the type of incoming conductor and cable.
- the contacts 10 are demountably mounted within the housing 20 by insertion from the rear face 22.
- the end portion 13 is compressed within the passage 23 until it reaches the forward face and then springs open.
- the contact 10 is prevented from further forward movement by engagement of the flange 14 with the internal rearwardly facing shoulder 24.
- the end 7 of the portion 13 seats in the groove or slot 33 in the forward face 21 of the insulator 20. In the absence of a slot 33 the end 7 would engage the forward face 21 and prevent rearward movement.
- the contacts 10 are easily removed from the housing 20 by employing a forward force to the contact 10 and then depressing the end portion 13, with a suitable tool, so that the contact will pass through the passage 23 upon application of a rearward force to the contact, e.g., by pulling on an attached conductor or on the rear of the contact itself.
- the fingers 25 of one half are aligned with the openings 40 between fingers 25 of the other half and the connector simply pressed together.
- the mating surfaces 12 of the contacts 10 engage each other to complete the electrical circuitry while the projections 29 snap into the grooves or slots 28 to retain the assembly in mated relationship.
- the connector halves 1 and 2 remain in the mated relationship until a sufficient separating force is applied in a manner that will force the lateral projection 29 from its position in the slot 28.
- a hermaphroditic electrical connector for a multiconductor cable comprising:
- a one-piece molded insulating block having a front face, a rear face, a plurality of axially aligned passages extending through said insulator from said rear face to said front face and a plurality of axially aligned and nonround'forwardly extending fingers arranged in spaced relationship and extending from said front face, at least one of said fingers having a pair of slots in one side thereof that communicates with a respective passage and is adapted to receive a contact, the spaces between adjacent fingers adapted to receive the fingers of a second identical connector;
- each of said contacts having a first conductor receiving end portion and a resiliently compressible folded section which includes a shaft portion and an opposite mating surface which terminates in a second end portion, each of said contacts mounted in a portion of a respective passage with said conductor receiving portion disposed in said passage and said shaft portion extending into said pair of slots in said finger so that contact is mounted in said housing with said mating surface of said contact exposed on one side of said finger, each of said second end portions of said contacts having an end that engages a housing shoulder to prevent rearward movement of said contacts with respect to said housing;
