ELECTRIC CONNECTOR
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an electric connector, in particular an electric connector comprising an insulating outer case defining a number of axial cavities, and a number of electric terminals housed respectively inside the cavities and retained therein by primary retaining means.
BACKGROUND ART
Known electric terminals of the above type comprise a cover element designed to snap onto the case, and which provides for determining and, if necessary, completing insertion of the terminals inside the respective cavities, as well as for further ensuring retention of the terminals inside the cavities.
According to a first known solution, the cover element is hinged to the case and movable between a first open position permitting insertion of the terminals inside the respective cavities, and a second closed position adjacent to and preventing withdrawal of the terminals.
According to a further known solution, the cover element presents a number of through cavities permitting passage of the terminals, and is connectable to one end of the case in a first, or preassembly, position wherein the cavities of the cover element face those of the case and permit insertion of the terminals, and a transversely-offset second, or assembly, position wherein the cavities of the cover element are offset in relation to those of the case and prevent withdrawal of the terminals.
According to a further known solution, similar to the previous one, the assembly position of the cover element is not offset transversely in relation to the preassembly position, and the terminals are retained inside the respective cavities by the cover element in the assembly position interacting with the primary retaining means to prevent them from being detached from the respective terminals.
Electric connectors of the type briefly described above present several drawbacks.
Firstly, the cover elements of known connectors seriously complicate design, as well as increasing overall size and cost.
Secondly, in the event incomplete insertion results in a relatively serious positioning error - of roughly a few millimeters - of one or more terminals, the above known cover elements are capable of detecting the error by interacting with the terminals and so
preventing correct connection to the case, but fail to provide for forcing the terminals into the correct insertion position.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric connector designed to overcome the above drawbacks typically associated with known connectors.
According to the present invention, there is provided an electric connector comprising an insulating case having a number of axial cavities; a number of electric terminals having respective deformable portions for connection to respective cables, and locked inside respective said cavities by respective retaining means; and a cover element designed to snap onto the end portion of said case from which said cables project, for determining and, if necessary, completing insertion of said terminals inside the respective said cavities; characterized in that said cover element is connected to said case by moving it axially towards the case; said cover element presenting a number of thrust portions cooperating with respective locating means formed in the connecting portion of each said terminal; and a number of seats open on one side of said cover element and housing respective said electric cables.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates an electric connector.
The terms "top", "bottom", "front", "rear" and similar in the following description and claims are used purely for descriptive purposes, and are in no way limiting. Connector 1 comprises an insulating case 2 defining a number of side by side through axial cavities 3, and a number of electric terminals 4 for connection to respective cables 5 and housed inside respective cavities 3. More specifically, case 2 is molded from thermoplastic material, is substantially in the form of a parallelepipedon, and is defined by a top wall 6, a bottom wall 7 and two lateral walls 8.
Cavities 3 (Figure 3) are arranged in one horizontal row, and are separated by vertical longitudinal inner walls 9 of case 2 equally spaced in relation to one another and in relation to lateral walls 8.
Each cavity 3 communicates externally of connector 1 through a front opening 10 permitting insertion of a male electric terminal 11 (shown partially in Figure 2) forming part of a complementary connector (not shown) , and through a rear opening 12 permitting insertion of terminal 4 inside the cavity.
Each cavity 3 presents inner ribs 13 for guiding a respective terminal 4; and a flexible retaining element 14 designed to snap onto terminal 4 and lock it inside cavity 3. Element 14 is known and therefore not described in detail.
Terminals 4 (Figure 5) are formed in one piece from conductive sheet metal by means of blanking, pressing and bending operations. Each terminal 4 substantially comprises a box type contact body 15 having a contact blade 15a cooperating with a respective male terminal 11; and a deformable connecting portion 16 for connection to respective electric cable 5. In order of increasing distance from contact body
15, connecting portion 16 comprises a first pair of tabs 17 clamped onto the exposed end portion of cable 5; a second pair of tabs 18 clamped onto the end portion of
the insulating sheath 19 of cable 5; and a third pair of tabs 20 not deformed onto cable 5, but extending upwards parallel to each other on either side of cable 5.
Finally, connector 1 comprises a cover element 25 (hereinafter referred to simply as a "cover" for the sake of simplicity) which can snap onto the rear end portion 30 of case 2 , from which cables 5 project, by means of an axial motion towards case 2 (Figures 3 and 4) . Cover 25 presents a number of substantially semicircular seats 26 open on the bottom side of the cover and designed to receive cables 5 of terminals 4. Seats 26 are defined laterally and at the top by respective substantially U-section walls 27 extending axially from cover 25 and engaging the inlet portion of respective cavities 3 of case 2 (Figure 2) so as to cooperate axially with tabs 20 of terminals 4 in the event of incomplete insertion of the terminals.
Case 2 and cover 25 present guide and retaining means for mutual connection. More specifically, from the top side of cover 25 there extends an axial dovetail appendix 28 longer than walls 27 and which cooperates with a corresponding guide groove 29 formed in the top wall 6 of case 2.
Also, from bottom wall 7 of. case 2, at each inner wall 9, there originate respective retaining teeth 34 designed to snap onto respective flexible U-shaped brackets 35 extending axially from the bottom side of cover 25.
At opposite ends, cover 25 presents respective retaining teeth 39 designed to snap onto respective flexible U-shaped brackets 40 extending from lateral walls 8 of case 2. 5 Connector 1 is assembled as follows.
Firstly, terminals 4 are inserted inside respective cavities 3 through openings 12, in the course of which, retaining elements 14 are flexed upwards (with reference to Figure 2), and upon completion of which, 10 retaining elements 14 snap back to the undeformed position behind respective contact bodies 15, thus preventing withdrawal of the terminals.
Cover 25 is then positioned facing the rear end of case 2 (Figure 3) and moved axially towards case 2 so 15 that appendix 28 engages guide groove 29, thus ensuring correct alignment of case 2 and cover 25. Cables 5 are then inserted upwards into respective seats 26, and cover 25 is pushed axially into the full assembly position (Figure 4) wherein walls 27 are substantially 20 adjacent to the third pair of tabs 20 of each terminal 4.
In the event any one of terminals 4 has not been inserted correctly inside the respective cavity, walls
27, during assembly of cover 25, contact tabs 20 of the
„# 25 terminal which is thus pushed axially into the correct position wherein it is engaged by element 14.
The advantages of connector 1 according to the present invention will be clear from the foregoing
description.
In particular, by virtue of being moved axially towards the case, cover 25 ensures all the terminals are positioned correctly inside the respective cavities by exerting axial thrust on the terminals, even in the event of relatively serious positioning errors. Also, by virtue of the cover simply contacting adjacent tabs 20 axially, and no other parts of the terminal or case 2, connector 1 is straightforward in design, compact and cheap to produce.
Clearly, changes may be made to connector 1 as described and illustrated herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention.
