Definitions

  • a sealed electrical connector including a connector body containing a plurality of contacts and a Cable boot mounted over a tapered projection on one end of the body.
  • the projection is formed with channels aligned with the Contact passages.
  • the conductors of the cable lie in these channels.
  • Keyways are formed in the projection which receive keys formed on the inner wall of the boot to restrain the boot from rotation relative to the connector body, and hence prevent twist ing of the cable conductors. Integral sealing ribs are formed on the front and rear portions of the boot.
  • a sealed electrical connector including a connector body and a boot of elastic pliant material mounted on one end of the body.
  • the body has a plurality of contact passages extending therethrough and rearwardly extending projection which extends into an enlarged cavity in the end of the boot.
  • The. insulatedconductors of thecable which extends into the boot lie in these channels and are connected to, the contacts in the contact passages.
  • one or more longitudinally extending grooves are formed in the outer surface'of the projection. Longitudinally extending ribs extend inwardly from the wall of the cavity in the boot and slidably engage, in the grooves to restrain the boot from rotation relative to the connector body.
  • the enlarged cavity normally found between the end of the connector and the boot is essentially eliminated by the present invention due to the fact that the projection on the rear of the connector body extends into the cavity in the boot to substantially fill the. cavity, thereby minimizing any entrapped air within the boot.
  • FIG. I is a partial vertical sectional-view through a mounting member containing the connector member of the present invention.
  • FIG Z is a partial vertical longitudinal sectional view of the connector body ;of the present invention.
  • FlG.-3 is an elevational view showing the rear of the connector body
  • FIG. 4 is an elevational view showing the front of the connector body
  • FIG. 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the boot employed in the connector of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is an elevational view showing the front of the boot.
  • FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the connector body and the boot, with the boot being shown in partial section to illustrate the details of the interior structure thereof.
  • FIG. I in detaiLthere is illustrated a cover plate I0 for a housing, not shown, containing the computer of a anti-skid control system.
  • the housing contains a printed circuit board 12 on which there is mounted a header.l4 which has a plurality of out wardly extending pin contacts 16 on the exposed end thereof.
  • three of such contacts are employed, only one beingvisible in FIG. I. It will be appreciated however that a larger or fewer number of contacts may be utilized. Typically, three or four contacts are used.
  • An externally threaded cylindrical boss 18 is formed on the plate 10 coaxial with the header [4.
  • a cylindrical bore 20 extends through the boss.
  • the end of the header extends into one end of the bore.
  • the electrical connector member of the present invention generally designated 22, extends into the other end of the bore.
  • the connector is retained in the bore by means of a coupling nut 24.
  • This nut is formed with a radially inwardly extending annular flange 26 which engages a thrust washer 27 abutting a sealing bushing 28 that engages a rearwardly facing shoulder 30 on the connector. Threading of the nut 24 on the boss 18 urges the sealing bushing 28 into engagement with end of the boss, and urges the connector into the bore toward the header 14.
  • the connector member 22 comprises an elongaged generally cylindrical insulator body 32 and a cable boot 34. Except for the contacts mounted in the body, the body and the boot each consist of a unitary mass of molded elastic pliant material which is chemically resistant to hostile environments and varying temperature conditions. Any thermoplastic elastomer', such as polyurethane polyether, for example. could be utilized as the material for the connector parts. it will be appreciated. however, that other elastomers could be utilized if they possess the required characteristics of resiliency, flexibility, and softness to produce effective seals when configured in accordance with the present invention.
  • thermoplastic elastomer' such as polyurethane polyether, for example.
  • the diameter of the body 32 is slightly less than the diameter of the bore 20 to allow the body to be slidably mounted within the bore.
  • the lower portion of the body is cut out to provide a downwardly facing flat surface 36 which extends from a forwardly facing shoulder 38 to the front face 40 of the body.
  • the surface 36 cooperates with a flat raised section 42 on the bottom of the bore 20 in the plate 10 to provide polarization of the connector with respect to the header l4 and also nonrotatably mount the connector in the plate.
  • the raised section 42 also forms a shoulder 44 which provides a stop engage-able by the shoulder 38 on the body 32 thereby limiting movement of the connector 22 into the bore 20.
  • the connector body 32 is provided with a plurality of axially aligned longitudinally extending contact passages 50, which extend from the front face 40 of the body to the rear face 52 thereofThree of such passages are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, corresponding in number to the pin contacts 16 in the header 14.
  • a socket contact 54 is positioned in each passage which is mateable witha pin contact 16 when the connector member 22 is fully mounted within the bore 20 in plate [0.
  • Each contact terminates an insulated wire 56 of a cable 58 which extends through a passageway 60 in the boot 34.
  • the contact is shown as being of the closed barrel type, the barrel being crimped onto the wire. Otlier termination techniques may obviously be utilized.
  • Means are integrally formed on the connector body 32 for retaining the contacts 54 therein.
  • Such means comprises an annular flange 60 which extends radially inwardly from the wall of each contact passage 50.
  • the flange is sufficiently resilient and pliant to allow the contact to pass therethrough when it is inserted into the rear of the contact passage.
  • Each contact is formed with an annular recess 62. The depth of the recess and the radial dimension of each flange 60 are such that the flange will have a snug fit in the recess to hold the contact against appreciable longitudinal movement rel ative to the connector body.
  • a central relatively rigid projection 64 extends from the rear face 52 of the connector body 32. This projection is tapered to provide a frustoconical outer surface 66. [t is noted that the contact passages 50 are circumferentially spaced about the body 32 adjacent to the outer periphery of the body. A plurality of channels 68 are formed in the outer surface of the projection 64. Each channel is aligned with a respective contact passage 50. Each channel 68 is sufficiently deep to receive an insulated wire 56 therein, without the wire extending above the outer surface 66 of the projection. It is noted that the bottoms of the channels 68 are curved to accommodate the insulated wires.
  • a plurality of grooves or keyways 70 are also formed in the outer surface of the projection 64. These grooves are disposed alternately with respect to the channels 68.
  • the grooves have a rectangular cross section. The bottom of each groove is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body 32.
  • the channels 68 and grooves 70 extend to the end of the projection 64.
  • the passageway 60 in the boot 34 terminates in an enlarged cavity 72 which has a frustoconical wall complementa'ry to the frustoconical outer surface 66 of the projection 64.
  • a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs or keys 74 extend inwardly from the wall of the cavity 72. These ribs are aligned with the groove 70 and have a configuration complementary to the grooves so that when theboot 34 is mounted over the projection 64 on the body 32 the ribs 74 will be slidably engaged within the grooves.
  • the depth of the grooves 70 and the radial distance of the ribs 74 are sufficiently great to prevent relative rotation between the cable boot and the body 32 when the rotational force imparted by the coupling nut 24 is imposed upon the boot in the assembly illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the insulated wires 56 will not be twisted when the coupling nut is rotated to fixedly mount the connector 22 in the plate 10.
  • the projection 64 on the body 32 substantially completely fills the cavity 72 in the boot 34, thus minimizing any entrapped air within the boot.
  • This latter seal is in effect a secondary seal for the contacts.
  • the primary seal for the contacts is provided by means of a plurality of integral longitudinally spaced annular sealing ribs 78 formed on the forward portion of the boot 34 which surrounds the projection 64. These ribs are deformable and are dimensioned so as to have an interference fit with the wall of the bore 20, thereby producing an intimate mechanical contact and labyrinth seal between the boot and the wall of the bore 20.
  • the tapered projection 64 junctions as a wedge urging the ribs 78 outwardly into tight sealing engagement with the wall of the bore 20 when the forward end of the boot is forced into the bore by the coupling nut.
  • a plurality of annular longitudinally spaced integral ribs 80 are formed on the wall of the passage 60 adjacent to the rear portion of the boot 34. These ribs have an interference fit with the insulation on the cable 58, thereby providing a rear seal between the boot and the cable. Thus. the total assembly is completely sealed when the coupling nut is tightened on the boss 18.
  • the receptacle contacts 54 are crimped to the exposed ends of the wires 56.
  • the boot 34 is then forced over the cable 58 leaving the contacts and the ends of the Wires 56 exposed.
  • the contacts are then forced into the contact passages 50 in the connector body 32 by pressing them into the passages from the rear of the body.
  • the conductors will then lie in the channel 68.
  • the forward end of the boot 34 is then pushed over the projection 64 on the body 32.
  • the connector member thus formed is then inserted into the bore 20 with the flat surface 36 aligned with the flat raised section 42 of the bore. thereby properly polarizing the connector.
  • the connector member is pushed into the bore until the shoulder 38 thereon engages the shoulder 44 in the bore.
  • the sealing ribs 78 surround the projection 64, the projection provides a relatively rigid support for the ribs. assuring that the ribs remain in interference lit with the wall of the bore 20.
  • a completely sealed assembly is provided. with a minimum of entrapped air within the boot 34. and relative rotation between the cable and the connector body 32 is prevented during rotation ofthe coupling nut due to the inter-engagement between the ribs 74 and the grooves 70 on the boot and connector body. respectnely.
