Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electrical connectors comprising two housing elements intended to be assembled to make an electrical connection, each housing element comprising compartments each intended to receive an electrical contact member connected to an electrical conductor.
  • a housing element in the compartments are inserted female electrical contact members, while in the compartments of the other housing element are inserted male electrical contact members, these, during assembly housing elements, inserted into the female members to provide the electrical connection.
  • Each electrical contact member has an element which, with an element provided in the compartment, allows it to be locked in the latter. It is therefore understandable that the electrical contact members must be engaged in the housings according to a determined otherwise, either they do not fit in said housings and do not provide a good electrical connection, or else oppose the assembly of the housing elements.
  • each compartment comprises, on its internal face intended to cooperate with the face of the electrical contact member provided with the groove, a longitudinal rib so that if the electrical contact member is suitably engaged in the compartment, the rib is housed in the groove and on the contrary, if said contact member is poorly presented, it abuts against said groove.
  • Locking devices must be provided to block the electrical contact member in the compartment so that, in addition to the rib, locking pins have to be produced, which complicates the manufacture of the mold for the production of the element. housing.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a connector which overcomes these drawbacks and which opposes the engagement of the electrical contact members in the corresponding compartments when said members are not presented correctly.
  • the invention relates to electrical connection members comprising two complementary housing elements, each consisting of a body having a series of compartments each with an opening for introducing an electrical contact member, each compartment having a locking member intended to cooperate with a member complementary to the electrical contact member to ensure the fixing of the latter in the compartment, means being provided to oppose the installation in the compartment of said electrical contact member if the latter is not presented oriented in the normal position, said member being characterized in that in each compartment, on the side of the opening for introducing the contact member, there is provided a web forming a ramp and connected to a lug by a steep, said complementary lug of the electrical contact member is formed by a hole in one of the faces of said electrical contact member, and having a sufficient dimension e to allow the passage of the veil and the lug, said electrical contact member having a wall situated above the face provided with the hole intended to cooperate with the lug, said wall comprising at its free end an opening for a dimension greater than the width of the web and less than the width of said lug.
  • the ramp facilitates guiding, on the other hand, when engagement is carried out, the contact member being turned upside down, the free edges adjacent to the opening abut against the lug the ramp being housed in the opening, so that it is absolutely impossible to insert said member in the compartment. It is understood that such a device offers great security for the mounting of connectors.
  • the lug assumes the shape of an inverted pyramid trunk which ensures very good locking of the connection member in the compartment of the housing element.
  • the invention finds a very interesting application in particular for electrical contact members of the so-called “hermaphrodite” type which both form a male or female member and constitute two by two of the complementary members, one then being turned upside down, without upside down compared to the other.
  • an electrical connector element comprising a part 1 of a housing intended to cooperate with a complementary part shut up not shown here.
  • This part 1 comprises a series of compartments 2 intended to each receive a contact member 3.
  • the contact member 3 is, in the example shown, of the hermaphrodite type, that is to say that it is intended to cooperate with an identical connection member housed in the complementary part and turned upside down. .
  • the contact member 3 is made from an elastic metal strip, good conductor of electricity and suitably cut and folded to present at one end means 4 for enclosing an electrical conductor.
  • the contact member 3 is folded to form a channel 5 of rectangular section having a floor wall 6 pierced with a hole 7, two side walls 8 and 9 and two flaps 10 and 11 extending parallel to the floor and which have a notch at their free end to form a U-shaped opening 12.
  • the floor wall 6 has an extension 13 folded towards the inside of the channel 5 and terminated by an elastic tongue 15 after bending with a hairpin 16.
  • connection members 3 When two connection members 3 are presented facing each other, one being turned upside down, the extension 13 and the floor 6 of each of them engage between the extension 13 and the elastic tongue 15 on the other.
  • the compartment 2 of part 1 has an elastic tab 20 provided with a lug 17 which is intended to cooperate with the hole 7 of the floor 6, and to facilitate the establishment of the member 3, an inclined ramp 18 is provided which extends to the vicinity of the corresponding edge of one of the ends of part 1.
  • the lug 17 has a dimension greater than that of the opening 12 and is connected by a web 19 forming a ramp. This lug assumes the shape of an inverted pyramid trunk with rectangular bases and has a steep side of the opening for introducing the contact member 3.
  • connection member 3 When the member 3 is engaged in the compartment 2 (see FIGS. 1, 5, 6 and 7) the extension 13 is guided by the ramp formed by the web 19 and the tab 20 being elastically deformed, the connection member 3 is placed so that the lug 17 enters the hole 7, the locking of said connection member 3 being thus ensured.
  • the free end of the lug 20 is inclined in order to provide a space between the floor 6 and said lug 20 to allow, for example to insert the end of a tool such as a screwdriver in order to be able to disassemble the connection member 3 of the housing 2.
