Definitions

  • ABSTRACT [73] Assignee: AMP Incorpo t d, H i b p
  • a zero entry connector system is disclosed having male and female connectors which require very small [22] July 1973 force for mating.
  • One of the connectors is provided [21] Appl. No: 380,316 with a camming means which acts on the other connector to effect a relative transverse motion therebetween to bring the contacts therein into mating en- [52] Cl 339/75 339/184 M gagement.
  • Each contact of one member is the active [51] Int.] Cl HOlr 13/54 Contact and has the form of a resilient leaf While each [58] he d of Search 339/74 184 contact of the other portion is the passive contact and has the form of a fixed and relatively rigid pin.
  • the [56] References cued male and female connectors are mated in the conven- UNITED STATES PATENTS tional manner but no engagement of the contacts oc- 3,209,302 9/1965 Uberbacher 339/92 M curs until after the connectors have been fully mated 3, 183 2/1 69 Feeser et a]...
  • the present invention relates to a zero entry connec tor system and in particular to a connector system in which a plurality of contacts are engaged by first bringing together male and female members of the system with substantially no force since the contacts are not engaged and then moving the members transversely with respect to one another to bring the respective contacts into full engagement.
  • a further example of a low insertion force connector is the position-and-lock jack disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,145,067.
  • This jack system includes two portions which can be mated with substantially no insertion force and then cammed relative to each other by camming means 29.
  • this system suffers from the defect that there is a great deal of effort required to properly align the jack portions for final mating as well as the possibility of breaking off the male contact or even effecting improper initial mating since there is no adequate guide for the jack members.
  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,315,212 and 3,594,698 disclose connector arrangements in which contacts carried by first and second mating block members are moved relative to one another by means of an intermediate third block which is cammed transversely with respect to the other two block portions. Both of these arrangements are rather complex in nature and have a substantial number of parts which greatly increases the production costs and assembly requirements.
  • the subject zero entry connector system includes a female connector and a male connector receivable therein.
  • One of the connectors is provided with passive contacts and the other connector is provided with active contacts.
  • the passive contacts are rigid pins fixedly mounted in the connector while the active contacts have a resilient blade extending from the connector in cantilever fashion.
  • Cam means are provided on one of the connectors for effecting relative transverse movement between theconnectors. The connectors are initially mated in the normal manner without the contacts engaging. There is substantially no connection force during this initial mating movement. The connectors are then moved transversely with respect to one another by the cam means to bring the contacts into good electrical and mechanical engagement.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of the subject zero entry connector system
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing the subject zero entry connector system mated but not yet latched;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing the subject zero entry connection system mated and latched;
  • FIG. 4 is a transverse fragmental sectional view taken along line 44 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the cam latch of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of the active or resilient contact of the present invention.
  • the subject zero insertion force connector assembly includes a male or plug connector 10 and a receptacle or a female connector 12.
  • the male or plug connector 10 is an integral member having a substantially rectangular mounting portion 14 surrounding a contact carrying portion 16.
  • the mounting portion 14 has outwardly directed mounting flanges 18 at opposite ends thereof with openings 20 therein for the passage of bolts or other locking means'( not shown) to secure the plug to a panel or the like (also not shown).
  • a profiled cam reactor surface 22 which, in this instance, is formed by a first annular bore 24, a conical counter bore 26 and an intermediate arcuate portion 28 defining an arcuate shoulder 30 between it and bore 24.
  • a rigid connector pin 38 (the passive contact) is fixed in each of the contact bores 34 with its forward end extending into the counter bore 36 but not projecting be yond the mating face 40 of the male connector block. The other end of the pin is connected to an electrical lead (not shown) by any conventional means.
  • the receptacle or female connector 12 includes a contact block 42 having an integral, outwardly directed, annular flange 44 and a strain relief housing 46.
  • the housing is assembled with the block with annular recess 48 in the housing grippingly engaging flange 44. Screws 50 secure the parts of the housing together to hold cable 52 therein.
  • the block 42 includes a forwardly directed hood or annular flange portion 54 which defines a profiled, and preferably polarized, opening into which the contact carrying portion 16 is inserted.
  • a plurality of contact bores 56 are formed in contact block 42 and receive therein a resilient contact 58 (the active contact).
  • the resilient contact includes a resilient blade portion 60 which extends beyond the mating face 62 of the contact block and a connection portion 64 adapted to be fixed to a lead 66 of cable 52 by any conventional means such as crimping.
  • a bead 68 is formed on the free end of blade portion 60.
  • a first bore 70 is formed'towards one end of the contact block 42 with a counter bore 72 in communication therewith. Atleast one resilient latching member 74 extends from an edge of the first bore 70 into the counter bore 72.
  • the latching member 74 includes a latching projection 76 on the free end thereof directed radially inwardly with respect to bore 70.
  • a cam member 78 is mounted in the first bore 70.
  • the cam member 78 includes a first cylindrical portion 80 with a second cylindrical portion 82 integrally connected to one end thereof forming an annular shoulder 84 therebetween.
  • a lever 86 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first cylindrical portion 86.
  • the opposite end of the second cylindrical portion 82 has an ar cuate cam groove 88 formed therein defining a pair of spaced shoulders 90, 92. Shoulder 88 is normally engaged with the projection 76 of latching means 74.
  • the free end of the second cylindrical member has a cam and latching extension 94 formed by a cam surface 96 and a latching projection 98.
  • a first earn stop 100 is integrally formed on housing 46 at a position where it will be engaged by handle 86.
  • a second cam stop 102 is integrally formed within counter bore 72. The first and second cam stops are preferably spaced apart a distance equalling one quarter turn of the cam member.
  • a transverse shoulder 104 is formed by a flange 106 or by a recess (not shown) within the hood 54 at the opposite end of the contact block 42 from the cam member 78.
  • the operation of the subject zero entry connector system will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
  • the male connector 10 is inserted within the hooded opening 54 of the female connector 12 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • This opening is polarized by the location of the cam member 78 and shoulder 104 in the female connector and the cam reactor surface 22 and flange 32 on the male connector thereby preventing mismating of the connectors.
  • the rigid contact pins 38 are not engaged by the blade portion 60 of the resilient contacts 58. Therefore the only force required to insert the male connector into the female connector is the force required to overcome the sliding friction between the mating peripherical surfaces of the connectors themselves.
  • the engagement of flange 32 and shoulder 104 serves a further function, namely, to prevent over travel of the connectors during the transverse move ment.
  • the flange 32 and shoulder 104 limit the relative transverse movement between the connectors.
  • the blades 60 of the resilient contacts 58 projecting from the face 62 cannot be damaged by being bent out of position.
  • the cam member 78 also serves a further function to its polarizing and relative transverse movement functions.
  • the cam and latching extension 94 is positioned to allow insertion of the male connector into the hood 54.
  • the cam latching extension 94 will bar entry of the male connector 10 into the hood 54.
  • the cam groove 88 serves to drive the latching member 74 outwardly when the cam member 78 is rotated to the latching position (see FIGS. 2 and 3). This action of the cam groove 88 allows for the removal of the cam member 78 from the contact block 42 should this be desired. Of course the cam member cannot be removed when the connectors are mated since the latching projection 98 would then engage shoulder 30.
  • strain relief housing is shown with the cable entering at an angle of approximately 45. It is clear that the entrance angle of the cable may be changed to any desired angle, the invention not being limited to a particular angle.
  • the subject zero insertion force connector system can be applied to other combinations of connectors than the cable to plate connection shown, such as cable to cable, etc., since the invention lies in the way the connection is made rather than the specific entities being connected.
