Description
La présente invention est relative à un connecteur pour câble plat blindé, c'est-à-dire, un câble de section rectangulaire aplatie comportant dans une matrice isolante une pluralité de rubans conducteurs de section aplatie disposés parallèlement en une ou plusieurs rangées entre deux nappes conductrices formant plans de masse et s'étendant sur la majeure partie de la largeur du câble.The present invention relates to a connector for shielded flat cable, that is to say, a cable of flattened rectangular section comprising in an insulating matrix a plurality of conductive tapes of flattened section arranged in parallel in one or more rows between two layers. conductive forming ground planes and extending over most of the width of the cable.
De tels câbles sont utilisables dans de nombreuses applications où il est nécessaire d'assurer un blindage efficace des conducteurs d'un câble vis-à-vis de l'environnement extérieur, tant pour éviter de perturber l'environnement extérieur par des signaux parasites en provenance du câble que pour protéger les conducteurs du câble de signaux parasites en provenance de l'extérieur.Such cables can be used in many applications where it is necessary to ensure effective shielding of the conductors of a cable against the external environment, as much to avoid disturbing the external environment by parasitic signals in from the cable only to protect the cable conductors from extraneous signals from the outside.
De tels câbles blindés doivent naturellement pouvoir être raccordés à des éléments de structures tels que par exemple des circuits imprimés et la présente invention a précisément pour objet un connecteur permettant d'assurer un tel raccordement.Such shielded cables must naturally be able to be connected to structural elements such as for example printed circuits and the present invention specifically relates to a connector for ensuring such a connection.
On connaît d'après US-A-4 619 487 un connecteur comprenant une fiche et une embase aptes à être réunies par des moyens de verrouillage, la fiche comportant un corps isolant muni d'évidements de réception et de retenue des conducteurs du câble, un capot de recouvrement dont la paroi intérieure au moins est conductrice entourant ledit corps, des évidements étant prévus entre ledit capot et le corps de fiche pour la réception des nappes conductrices formant plan de masse dudit câble.Known from US-A-4 619 487 a connector comprising a plug and a receptacle capable of being joined by locking means, the plug comprising an insulating body provided with recesses for receiving and retaining the cable conductors, a cover hood whose inner wall at least is conductive surrounding said body, recesses being provided between said cover and the plug body for receiving the conductive sheets forming the ground plane of said cable.
La présente invention se propose de réaliser un connecteur de ce type permettant d'assurer une continuité de l'effet de blindage entre le câble et la structure à raccorder, en particulier au niveau de l'embase du connecteur.The present invention proposes to produce a connector of this type making it possible to ensure continuity of the shielding effect between the cable and the structure to be connected, in particular at the level of the connector base.
A cet effet, le connecteur selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement par le fait que l'embase comporte un corps isolant apte à être engagé dans la fiche et comportant des contacts aptes à venir en contact avec les conducteurs du câble logés dans ladite fiche, ledit corps d'embase comportant sur au moins une partie de sa longueur une enveloppe conductrice apte à venir au contact de la paroi intérieure du capot du corps de fiche.To this end, the connector according to the invention is essentially characterized by the fact that the base includes an insulating body capable of being engaged in the plug and comprising contacts capable of coming into contact with the conductors of the cable housed in said plug, said base body comprising over at least part of its length a conductive envelope capable of coming into contact with the inner wall of the cover of the plug body.
On comprend qu'en position assemblée, on réalise une continuité de blindage entre les nappes conductrices du câble, la paroi intérieure conductrice du capot de la fiche et l'enveloppe conductrice de l'embase jusqu'à la structure, telle qu'une carte de circuit imprimé dans laquelle sont engagées les extrémités libres des contacts intérieurs de l'embase.It is understood that in the assembled position, a shielding continuity is produced between the conductive layers of the cable, the conductive inner wall of the cover of the plug and the conductive envelope of the socket to the structure, such as a card circuit board in which are engaged the free ends of the interior contacts of the base.
De manière à accroître le contact entre les nappes conductrices du câble et la paroi intérieure du capot de la fiche, il est avantageux de prévoir des moyens élastiques, tels que des ressorts à lame ou des pièces d'appui en élastomère, logés dans les cavités du corps de fiche et pressant les nappes formant plans de masse du câble contre la paroi intérieure conductrice du capot.In order to increase the contact between the conductive layers of the cable and the inner wall of the cover of the plug, it is advantageous to provide elastic means, such as leaf springs or elastomer support parts, housed in the cavities plug body and pressing the plies forming ground planes of the cable against the conductive inner wall of the cover.
De préférence, les extrémités des nappes formant plan de masse du câble logé dans la fiche sont repliées sur elles-mêmes, l'appui élastique s'effectuant dans la zone repliée.Preferably, the ends of the plies forming the ground plane of the cable housed in the plug are folded back on themselves, the elastic support being effected in the folded area.
De manière à favoriser le contact entre l'enveloppe conductrice de blindage de l'embase contre la paroi intérieure du capot de la fiche, l'enveloppe peut avantageusement présenter une ou plusieurs parties en saillie telles que des pattes découpées dans l'enveloppe et qui se trouvent comprimées lors de l'engagement de la fiche sur l'embase.In order to favor the contact between the conductive shielding envelope of the base against the interior wall of the cover of the plug, the envelope can advantageously have one or more projecting parts such as tabs cut out of the envelope and which are compressed when the plug is engaged on the base.
Des éléments d'appui élastiques, tels que des ressorts à lame peuvent également être avantageusement prévus dans le corps de fiche pour presser élastiquement les conducteurs du câble maintenus dans le corps de fiche contre les contacts de l'embase lorsque la fiche est engagée sur l'embase pour former le connecteur.Elastic support elements, such as leaf springs may also advantageously be provided in the plug body for resiliently pressing the cable conductors held in the plug body against the contacts of the base when the plug is engaged on the 'base to form the connector.

La fiche 6 comporte un corps isolant 8 destiné à recevoir les rubans conducteurs 3 du câble, le corps 8 étant recouvert par un capot 9, conducteur ou de préférence réalisé en une matière plastique munie sur sa paroi intérieure 10 d'un revêtement métallique.The
Comme on le voit sur les figures 2 et 4, le câble est introduit par une ouverture d'extrémité 11 du capot de la fiche et sa matrice isolante est sectionnée parallèlement aux faces principales du câble de manière à séparer les nappes de blindage 4 et 5 et les conducteurs 3. Les conducteurs 3 qui, comme on le voit sur la figure 3 sont dénudés sur une partie de leur longueur, pénètrent dans le corps de la fiche puis sont repliés à partir d'une zone de rebroussement d'une paroi 12 du corps isolant du conducteur, la partie dénudée s'étendant dans un évidement 13 réalisé entre la paroi 12 et la paroi intérieure 10 du capot, l'extrémité non dénudée des conducteurs 3 étant engagée dans des évidements en forme de fente 14 du corps du capot. Les parties dénudées des conducteurs 3 sont repoussées vers l'extérieur par des ressorts à lame 15 s'appuyant sur les parois 12.As seen in Figures 2 and 4, the cable is introduced through an end opening 11 of the cover of the plug and its insulating matrix is sectioned parallel to the main faces of the cable so as to separate the
Les nappes de blindage 4 et 5 du câble non dénudées sur l'une de leurs faces sont introduites dans l'orifice 11 du capot dans un évidement 16 de section sensiblement en forme de L ménagé entre le capot et le corps 8 de la fiche, l'extrémité de chacune des nappes 4 et 5 étant repliée sur elle-même à partir d'une zone de rebroussement. Pour assurer un appui élastique de chacune des nappes conductrices 4, 5 contre la paroi intérieure conductrice 10 du capot, il est prévu des organes élastiques tels que des ressorts à lame 17 ou des pièces d'appui en élastomère 18 logés dans des cavités du corps de fiche.The
L'embase 7 illustrée à la figure 3 comporte un corps isolant 19 apte à être engagé dans les évidements 13 du corps de fiche et contenant des contacts 20 aptes à venir, comme illustré sur la figure 3, en contact avec les conducteurs 3 du câble.The
Le corps d'embase 19 comporte au moins sur ses faces principales et sur une partie de sa hauteur, à partir de l'extrémité libre des contacts 20, une enveloppe conductrice 21 fixée sur des saillies 22 du corps 19, l'enveloppe 21 présentant des pattes découpées 23 faisant saillie vers l'extérieur et aptes à être pressées élastiquement contre la paroi intérieure 10 du capot de la fiche lorsque cette dernière est engagée sur l'embase comme illustrée à la figure 4.The base body 19 comprises at least on its main faces and over a part of its height, from the free end of the
L'immobilisation des éléments de connecteur est assurée par encliquetage, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, par engagement de cliquets 24 en saillie extérieurement du capot 9 de la fiche dans des orifices 25 prévus à cet effet dans la paroi de l'embase.The immobilization of the connector elements is ensured by snap-fastening, as can be seen in FIG. 5, by engagement of
Comme on s'en rend le mieux compte à l'examen de la figure 4 qui illustre la connexion d'un câble tel que celui de la figure 1 à une carte de circuit imprimé C par l'intermédiaire d'un connecteur selon l'invention réalisé par assemblage d'une embase selon la figure 3 et d'une fiche selon la figure 2, on obtient une continuité électrique de plans de masse entre le câble et la carte de circuit imprimé assurant un parfait blindage vis-à-vis de l'extérieur. En effet, les nappes 4 et 5 du câble sont en contact avec la paroi intérieure conductrice 10 du capot, puis la continuité de plan de masse est assurée par l'intermédiaire de l'enveloppe conductrice 21 de l'embase dont les extrémités 21' sont comme on le voit sur la figure 4 enfichées dans la carte de circuit imprimé C.As is best seen on examining FIG. 4 which illustrates the connection of a cable such as that of FIG. 1 to a printed circuit board C via a connector according to the invention produced by assembling a base according to FIG. 3 and a plug according to FIG. 2, an electrical continuity of ground planes is obtained between the cable and the printed circuit board ensuring perfect shielding with respect to outside.
