  • the invention relates generally to electrical connector assemblies. More particularly, the invention relates to an electrical connector assembly with a lever mechanism to securely mate and un-mate the connectors with a reduced mating force as a cover housing is rotated.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,217,354 appears to disclose an electrical connector with an actuating lever that is pivotally mounted to one side of the connector assembly.
  • the actuating lever includes a cam groove.
  • a slide member is mounted on the actuating lever and moves linearly as the actuating lever pivots.
  • the slide member includes a cam follower projection that engages in the cam groove of the actuating lever.
  • the slide member also has a second cam groove.
  • the second side of the connector assembly has a second cam follower projection that engages in the second cam groove of the slide member.
  • the slide member moves linearly relative to both sides of the connector as the cam follower projections engage the cam grooves, and the connector sides mate and un-mate in response to the lever action.
  • the '354 patent fails to disclose means with which to suitably align the entire connector assembly during the mating action while simultaneously guarding against actuation of the cam mechanism when the connector is not properly mated.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,938,458 appears to disclose an electrical connector assembly with an actuating lever pivotally mounted to a first connector.
  • the actuating lever has a cam groove formed therein.
  • a second connector has a cam follower projection to engage in the cam groove of the actuating lever.
  • the connectors are mated and un-mated in response to the rotation of an actuating lever.
  • the '458 patent fails to disclose means with which to suitably align the connectors prior to engaging the cam system as well as to overcome higher mating forces required by multi-pin and multipart connectors.
  • 5,681,175 is another example of an electrical connector that appears to employ a camming system for mating and unmating a pair of electrical connectors.
  • the '175 patent discloses a lock slide member mounted on one of the housings and movable along a path transverse to the mating axis.
  • the lock slide member includes one cam track, while the other housing has a cam follower projection. As the lock slide member is moved, the cam follower projection projects into the cam track, and the connectors are mated.
  • the '175 patent employs a camming system, it fails to disclose means with which to suitably align the connectors during the mating process, and further fails to disclose a mechanism to overcome higher mating forces required in multi-pin and multipart connector applications.
  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly and method for establishing and maintaining electrical contact between conductive members to be joined by employing a lever mechanism and cam system to securely mate and un-mate the connectors with a reduced mating force as a cover housing is rotated.
  • the present invention provides a simple, powerful, and inexpensive electrical connector assembly to securely and confidently join male and female electrical connector structures to ensure electrical continuity and complete electrical circuits.
  • the task of securely and reliably joining multi-pin electrical connectors presents a difficult challenge as the number of pins increases and the corresponding required mating forces likewise increase. With large forces necessary, an alignment error of the male and female structures may result in inordinately high stress on the individual pins resulting in cracked conductors or damaged insulators, as well as pushed pins that fail to meet and join a corresponding receptacle. These maladies then result in faulty or intermittent connections and greatly increase product costs as extensive troubleshooting may be required to detect the faulty assembly once the product is assembled.
  • No previous connector assembly employs a lever-type connector assembly with a slide cam housing employing cam groove-cam follower projections coupled with floating projection guides to ensure the mating forces are applied along the proper mating axis and are substantially constant during the mating process.
  • the present lever-type electrical connector assembly invention reduces required connecting mating forces by employing a connector structure that includes two cam follower projections.
  • the housing assembly includes a base housing for receiving the connector structure.
  • the base housing includes a pivot anchor and a guide channel for receiving legs of the slide cam housing.
  • the slide cam housing includes a generally rectangular projection guide to accommodate a cover housing projection.
  • the slide cam housing also has a pair of first and a pair of second cam grooves on the slide cam legs that receive first and second pairs of cam follower projections that are part of the connector.
  • the cover housing is pivotally mounted on the base housing.
  • the present invention eliminates alignment errors while simultaneously reducing the required mating forces by means of a lever assembly and camming system that provides a dual action mechanical assist to establish an intimate electrical connection between male and female connector structures.
  • the present invention employs a novel projection guide geometry that results in mating forces that are substantially constant throughout the mating operation.
  • the method of the present invention allows users to securely and reliably mate connectors with large numbers of pins and high mating forces, while at the same time preventing alignment errors, eliminating intermittent connections, and improving reliability of the overall product.

  • the present invention extends the functionality of current electrical connector assemblies by properly and consistently aligning multi-pin connectors and joining the structures with reduced mating forces. Once joined, the electrical connector assembly of the present invention is secured using the slide cam housing to ensure that the connection does not loosen or otherwise disconnect over time. This has many advantages over prior assemblies such as those providing simple cam slides, because the dual action mechanical assistance provided by the present invention significantly reduces the required mating forces while providing improved alignment consistency and reliability by way of the slide cam legs and the novel geometry of the pivot point.

Abstract

L’invention concerne un connecteur électrique de type levier permettant de réduire les forces d'accouplement de connexion nécessaires pour relier des connecteurs mâles et femelles. Ce connecteur emploie un premier connecteur pourvu de porte-à-faux de galets de came (116), un logement de base (130) pourvu de glissières de guidage (133), d’un logement de came coulissant (120) pourvu de rainures à came (152) et de pistes de guidage de la partie en porte-à-faux (122) et un logement de couvercle (110) monté de manière pivotante sur le logement de base (130), le logement de couvercle (110) étant doté d’une partie en porte-à-faux du logement de couvercle (112). Lorsque le logement de couvercle tourne d’une position ouverte à une position fermée, il fait entrer la partie en porte-à-faux du logement de couvercle dans la piste de guidage de la partie en porte-à-faux. Cette action déplace le logement de came coulissant dans la glissière de guidage. Lorsque le logement de came coulissant se déplace d’une position ouverte à une position fermée, il fait entrer les parties en porte-à-faux du galet de came dans les rainures à came, entraînant de ce fait le premier connecteur dans le logement de base jusqu’à une position connectée.
