  • the shell is an integral plastic piece and includes latching means and a strain relief collar for holding the cable. The shell is fitted to the container in a simple direct, snap-on movement, in which the connector parts are mated, and the shell latched to the container.
  • a broad object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive mounting means for an electrical connector.
  • Another broad object is to provide such mounting means, which includes two separate members each having a connector part therein, which can be interconnected, for mating the connector parts, in the very simple step of moving the members together, and which include simple and effective latching means which normally, but releasably, hold the members together.
  • Another object is to provide, in mounting means of the general kind mentioned, a shell, which is one of the members, which is of simpleand inexpensive construction, of integral construction and including latching elements and a strain relief element for use in securing a cable in the shell.
  • a further and more specific object is to provide a shell as just referred to, which is a one-piece molded plastic member, and hence inexpensive, and which is separate from the counterpart member, being mounted to the latter solely by detachable latching elements.
  • a still further object is to provide mounting means for a connector, having novel and efficient means for securing a cable therein for securement to the connector, providing a strain relief feature and enabling the cable to be so secured to the connector when out of the mounting means and thereafter placing the connector part and cable in the mounting means.
  • An additional object is to provide a shell constituting .one member for mounting a connector, which is of such mechanical construction and design to render it particularly to molded plastic material, and hence of unusually inexpensive construction.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the mounting means with the connector in place therein;

  • the container or can 16 is provided with ears or lugs 34 forming latching elements, positioned at the open side of the container and on opposite ends thereof, for cooperation with latching elements of the shell or cable housing 18.
  • the shell or cable housing 18 is an integral or onepiece article, preferably of molded plastic material. For convenience, it may be referred to as having a top or main body portion 36, which with end elements form an arch, and with a side-opening notch 38 preferably at the midpoint of the arch.
  • the shell is also open at one or both sides 39 and 41 of the arch with preferably one of the open sides including the open end of notch 38 for insertion of a cable.
  • the closed end of the notch is an upstanding collar element or half-collar 40 which may have a reenforcing bead or flange 42.
  • the collar element may be generally circular and extends approximately half of a complete circumference, the notch 38 conveniently diverging outwardly for facilitating placing a cable 43 therein.
  • the cable is so placed in position by merely fitting it in the notch 38 sideways into engagement with the collar element 40, and securing it therein by fastening means illustrated by a cable tie 44 preferably of plastic, having a band portion 46 which incircles the cable and the collar element and held in tied position by suitable securing means 48.
  • the connector receptacle 22 is, of course, detachably held in the shell, and the cable can be secured to the connector receptacle when out of the mounting means and thereafter the connector receptacle and cable put into position by merely moving the components in sideways direction into the notch as referred to above. It is not necessary for the cable to be put into position linearly as by inserting the end of it through a hole.
  • the securement of the cable in the notch by the tie provides a strain relief as between the cable and the connector part.
  • the shell 18 may have a reenforcing flange 50 preferably only on one side, and longitudinally directed end elements 52, themselves having longitudinally directed extensions 54 as mounting ears for mounting in a panel opening (not shown).
  • the shell has what may for convenience be termed a lower open side.
  • Extending downwardly from the elements 52 are vertical end pieces 56 each having a closed end, transverse slot 58 which serves as a detachable locking means for receptacle 22.
  • Preferably strain relief slots 59 are provided.
  • Extending longitudinally inwardly from the lower edges of the end pieces 56 are horizontal elements 60 forming grooves or spaces 62 between themselves and the longitudinal extensions 52, longitudinally inline with the slots 58, for receiving end elements 64 of the plug receptacle 22 as referred to again hereinbelow.
  • Notches 65 are provided for strain relief in flexing the latching elements 66 as referred to again hereinbelow.
  • the shell 18 also includes latching elements 66 at the ends and extending downwardly, being for example immediately connected with the horizontal elements 60.
  • the latching elements 66 and the horizontal elements 60 both extend transversely the full width of the shell.
  • the latching elements 66 are flexible, each having a main, thin, or bladelike portion 68, a latching or locking shoulder 70, and a camming surface 72.
  • the lower side of the shell will be referred to as an open side, and the shell is applied or assembled to the container 16 by moving it downwardly with the open sides interfacing and the latching elements 66 engaging the latching elements 34 on the container and then snap into latching or locking position.
  • the latching elements 66 may be manually flexed outwardly for releasing them from the latching elements 34 for removing the shell from the container.
  • both of the latching elements 66 are flexible but if only one should be flexible, the shell can be latched and unlatched satisfactorily.
  • the connector receptacle 22 which as indicated above may be of conventional construction, at least in most part, has a male element 74 (FIG. 4) received in the female element 32.
  • the receptacle also includes a surrounding bead r flange 76, the end elements 64 of which (FIGS. 1 and 3) extend into the spaces 78 in the shell, and into the slots 58.
  • the engagement between this flange and the shell prevents relative sideways movement or displacement between the connector receptacle and the shell and more particularly it secures the shell itself against relative sideways displacement relative to the container 16, in view of the interengagement between the connector parts, which the shell is applied to or assembled with the container.
  • the male portion 74 extends generally through the open side of the shell and has contact elements engageable with the contact elements in the female portion 32 of the connector plug 20.
  • the receptacle 22 has the usual elements 80 for securement thereto of the conductors of the cable.
  • the connector receptacle being generally conventional in construction, as referred to above, may have slight modification in the flange 76 to cooperate with the spaces 78 and slots 58 in the shell.
  • the shell being of integral construction is very inexpensive, particularly in the fabrication steps thereof, i.e., molding, and it is efficient in its use in the mounting means, facilitating securement of the cable to the connector when out of the mounting means, and thereafter easily applying the cable and the corresponding connector part in the shell, with the further advantage that the shell can be easily applied to the container by a simple snap-on movement.
  • the shell can be easily detached from the container by simply flexing outwardly one or both of the latching elements 66.
  • the locking mechanism between the shell and the container, i.e., the latching elements 66, 34, is extremely simple, eliminating various devices hereintofore known which were relatively complicated and correspondingly expensive.
  • the shell and container are connected or assembled by direct movement toward each other.
  • the connector parts are so positioned relative to the open sides of the shell/container that the shell and container are spaced apart at their open sides.
  • the connector parts are thus disposed so that in that movement, attention is given to interengaging the connector parts without particular regard to whether the shell and container are to be connected.
  • the connector parts perform a guiding operation in putting the components together.
  • the shell surrounds what might be termed as interior in which the connector receptacle is disposed, and when the cable is positioned and clamped in the notch, its extended end is adjacent the connector part.
  • the arch formation of the shell adding a full transverse opening therethrough, adds to the simplicity of the shell, and corresponding low expense of manufacture thereof.
  • the shell is provided with notches 59 at the ends to provide strain relief as between the elements 56, 52, in response to flexing of the latching elements 66.
  • a connector including a pair of mating parts each having a plurality of contact elements
