Abstract

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a receptacle for receiving a complementary mating connecting device. A shutter is pivotally mounted on the housing for pivotal movement in an angular range between a closed position blocking the receptacle and an open position allowing mating of the complementary mating connecting device. The shutter includes a pivot shaft insertable transversely into a bearing hole in the housing. The bearing hole has a given width and a restricted mouth of a width less than the given width. The pivot shaft has a major cross-dimension for rotation in the bearing hole and a minor cross-dimension for insertion through the restricted mouth to allow the pivot shaft to be inserted transversely into the bearing hole.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 31 October 2003 (31.10.03); original claims 1 to 11 replaced by new claims 1 to 5 (3 pages)]
1. An electrical connector (10), comprising: a dielectric housing (12) having a receptacle (26) for receiving a complementary mating connecting device (28); a plurality of conductive terminals (14) mounted on the housing and having contact portions (66) exposed in the receptacle for engaging appropriate contacts of the mating connecting device; a shutter (36) pi vo tally mounted on the housing by pivot means (42,46) providing pivotal movement of the shutter in an angular range (C) between a closed position blocking the receptacle (26) to prevent inadvertent engagement of foreign objects with the contact portions of the terminals and an open position allowing mating of the complementary mating connecting device; said pivot means including a bearing hole (42) in the housing, the bearing hole having a given width (W) and a restricted mouth (54) of a width (Wl) less than said given width, and a pivot shaft (46) on the shutter (36) and pivo tally positionable in said bearing hole
(42), the pivot shaft having a major cross-dimension (D) less than said given width (W) of the bearing hole (42) but greater than the width (Wl) of said restricted mouth (54) whereby the shutter can pivot between said closed and open positions, and the pivot shaft (46) having a minor cross-dimension (T) less than the width (Wl) of said restricted mouth (54) to allow the pivot shaft to be inserted into the bearing hole and rotated so that the major cross- dimension of the shaft is aligned with the restricted mouth to prevent the shaft from moving out of the bearing hole; stop means (40,40a,48) to prevent pivotal movement of the shutter (36) beyond said angular range (C) after the pivot shaft (46) is inserted into the bearing hole (42); and 14
anti-overstress means (40) to allow said stop means (40a) to resiliency yield if excessive forces are applied to the shutter in an attempt to pivot the shutter (36) beyond said angular range, at least a portion (40) of said anti-overstress means being formed by a portion of said stop means.
2. The electrical connector of claim 1 wherein said shutter (36) is elongated and including a pair of said bearing holes (42) and a respective pair of said pivot shafts (46) at opposite ends of the shutter.
3. An electrical connector (10), comprising: a dielectric housing (12) having a receptacle (26) for receiving a complementary mating connecting device (28); a plurality of conductive terminals (14) mounted on the housing and having contact portions (66) exposed in the receptacle for engaging appropriate contacts of the mating connecting device; a shutter (36) pivo tally mounted on the housing by pivot means (42,46) providing pivotal movement of the shutter in an angular range (C) between a closed position blocking the receptacle (26) to prevent inadvertent engagement of foreign objects with the contact portions of the terminals and an open position allowing mating of the complementary mating connecting device; stop means (40,40a,48) to prevent pivotal movement of the shutter beyond said angular range (C) after the pivot shaft (46) is inserted into the bearing hole (42); and anti-overstress means (40) to allow said stop means (40a) to resiliently yield if excessive forces are applied to the shutter (36) in an attempt to pivot the shutter beyond said angular range. 15
4. The electrical connector of claim 3 wherein said stop means includes a flexible arm (40) on the housing (12) having a stop surface (40a) for engaging a stop shoulder (48) on the shutter (36), the flexible arm being yieldable to form part of said anti- overstress means.
5. The electrical connector of claim 3 wherein said shutter (36) is elongated and including a pair of said bearing holes (42) and a respective pair of said pivot shafts (46) at opposite ends of the shutter.
