Definitions
- European connector EP 358 562 discloses a connector comprising housing elements, one of which carries on its periphery a plurality of elastic blades electrically connected together as well as to the corresponding housing element, these blades coming to rest against the other housing element during connection. These blades are held on the corresponding housing element using a backing plate.
- the aforementioned connector has a relatively high number of parts.
- the blades which are generally produced in a metal strip, can be damaged, if necessary, under the effect of strong mechanical stresses.
- US Patent 6,139,350 describes a device comprising a cable connector capable of being engaged in a corresponding plug.
- the plug comprises two pairs of locking hooks able to cooperate with recesses in the cable connector.
- US Patent 5,509,823 describes a connector comprising a base body on which elastic tabs are produced. The latter have a relatively small width.
- Patent application FR 2 693 845 describes a shielded electrical connector comprising two housings. This connector does not have a tab made in the thickness of a cylindrical wall of a connection part.
- Patent application EP 1 098 397 describes an electrical connector of the cylindrical type with a circular cross section.
- the present invention aims in particular to provide an improved connector. It relates to an electrical connector comprising a housing comprising: a first housing element provided with at least a first male, respectively female connection part, a second housing element provided with at least a second female connection part, respectively male, able to cooperate with the first connection part, at least one of the first and second connection parts comprising at least one elastically deformable tab made in one piece with the connection part corresponding, in the thickness of a cylindrical wall of this connection part, which wall defines a single cavity and has, in cross section, at least one side in line segment, the tab extending, in cross section, on said side, characterized in that the tab has, in cross section, a width greater than half the length of said side.
- the structure of the connector is thus simplified and its cost can be reduced.
- the connector can have greater robustness, compared for example to the connector described in patent EP 358 562 in which the contact blades can have lower mechanical resistance, being produced in a metal strip.
- connection part come to be applied, due to their elasticity, to the other connection part by exerting a substantial stress therein, thus allowing good grounding of the two elements. case during the com exion.
- connection parts The stress exerted by the tab (s) of one of the connection parts on the other connection part allows, due to the resulting friction, a robust maintenance of the housing elements between them.
- the play between the latter can be reduced considerably and it has been found that the connector has quite satisfactory resistance to vibrations under difficult conditions of use, for example in the aeronautical field.
- the ground connection is in fact carried out mainly by axial stop between the two housing elements when they are connected. This configuration is generally called "shell-bottoming".
- connection part comprises on the aforementioned straight line side a single elastically deformable tab, with only two slots on either side of this tab, the invention makes it possible to limit possible leaks linked to interference from electromagnetic radiation through slots, compared to a connector having a relatively high number of tabs and therefore corresponding slots, like the connector described in US Pat. No. 5,509,823.
- a tab which has a relatively large width can offer a relatively high number of contact points due to the presence of microscopic irregularities on the tab, generated during manufacture, by machining or molding for example.
- the elasticity of the tab depends to a large extent on its thickness, its height and the material from which this tab is made, and not on its width.
- the elastic force developed by the tab is a function of the width of this tab.
- the cylindrical wall has, in cross section, two sides in line segment substantially parallel, in particular having a substantially rectangular cross section.
- Each tab can be obtained for example by cutting the cylindrical wall or, alternatively, being obtained, if necessary, from the molding of the housing element.
- the elastically deformable tab or tabs extend over a major part of the height of the connection part.
- the elastically deformable tab may have a free end remote from the base of the corresponding connection part.
- the tab or tabs comprise, on one face which is applied to the other connection part, at least one relief. The presence of this relief allows the tab to be applied to the other connection part with a relatively high stress.
- the relief can be located on an inside face of the tab when the connection part is of the female type or, alternatively, can be located on an outside face of the tab when the connection part is of the male type.
- the relief is adjacent to this upper edge or, at least, is located near the latter.
- the ground connection between the housing elements can be established at the start of the connection so that the first electrical contact is made at the shielding and not at the level of the connected conductors carried by the housing elements.
- the relief is in the form of a rib extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tab.
- the rib may extend over the entire width of the tab.
- one of the connection parts has two facing tabs.
- Each tab may have a substantially planar shape, preferably rectangular.
- Each leg may extend on one side in a straight line, between the two ends of this side.
- the elastically deformable tab is applied to a substantially flat wall of the other connection part.
- connection parts may comprise two neighboring cavities separated by an intermediate wall.
- the housing elements can be made of electrically conductive material so as to shield the housing.
- the housing elements can be made of metal, for example aluminum.
- the housing elements can be made of plastic, metallized or containing a conductive filler, in which case these can be made by molding for example.
- the conductors which are mounted in the housing elements can be of the coaxial type.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents and partially, in perspective, a connector housing according to the invention
- FIGS. 2 and 3 schematically and partially illustrate, in section along II-II, the elements of the housing in FIG. 1, with two successive connection stages
- the Figure 4 shows schematically and partially, in perspective, a variant implementation of the invention.
- FIG. 1 a first housing member 1 and a second housing member 2 of an electrical connector, intended to be assembled to form a shielded housing.
- the housing elements 1 and 2 are made of aluminum and are intended to receive conductors retained in insulating blocks, not shown.
- the housing element 1 comprises two female connection parts 3 each formed by a cylindrical wall of axis X of substantially rectangular cross section, each wall defining a single cavity 9.
- connection part 3 has on two opposite sides 3 a of the rectangle two elastically deformable tabs 5 facing each other, which extend along the axis X over a major part of the height of the connection part 3.
- the legs 5 have a substantially rectangular shape with two parallel side edges 5a and an upper edge 5b.
- connection part or cylindrical wall 3 has slots 8, located on either side of a tab 5.
- Each tab 5 has, in cross section, a width greater than half the length of the corresponding side 3a.
- These elastically deformable lugs 5 each have on their inner face 4 a rib 6 transverse to the axis X, adjacent to the upper edge 5b and extending over the entire width of the lug 5.
- the tabs 5 are produced by cutting out the cylindrical wall of the connection part 3.
- connection part 3 comprises on either side of the lugs 5, two wall portions 7 having in cross section a substantially U-shape, which give the connection part 3 a satisfactory robustness.
- the housing element 2 comprises two male connection parts 10 capable of each engaging respectively in a cavity 9 of a female connection part 3 of the housing element 1.
- connection parts 10 are each formed by a cylindrical wall of substantially rectangular cross section.
- a ground connection is thus obtained before the conductors, not shown, carried by the housing elements are connected.
- the tabs 5 are slightly separated from their rest position so that they exert a relatively high stress on the cylindrical wall of the connection part 10, thus ensuring a ground connection satisfactory between the housing elements 1 and 2.
- each connection part 3 comprises a single pair of legs 5 facing each other.
- connection parts 3 ′ may have two pairs of legs 5 facing each other.
- connection part 3 ′ is of the male type and the ribs 6 are located on the outside face of the legs.
- connection part 3 has an intermediate wall 13 defining two separate cavities 9 for receiving conductors.
- Each tab 5 has, in cross section, a width greater than half the length of the side extending between the wall 13 and a side opposite this wall 13.
- the housing elements 1 and 2 each have two separate connection parts, respectively 3, 3 'and 10.
- connection parts comprise a different number of connection parts.
- these can each comprise a single connection part.
- the elastically deformable legs may include reliefs other than a rib, in particular bosses.
- connection parts may have a cross section other than rectangular.
- the cross section can be substantially trapezoidal for example.
