- the present invention relates to electrical connectors of the type comprising an insulating housing pierced with parallel passages for receiving electrical terminals and a retention plate insertable in the housing to a front position in which it is retained, said plate being pierced with holes reception of the terminals, distributed along the same network as the passages and extending forwards by elastic fingers for retaining the terminals by snap-fastening, the fingers having a shape adapted to that of the passages so as to be able to penetrate the passages and be retained there in the position where they hold the terminals when the retention plate is in said front position.
- a description of a connector of this kind can be found in document FR-A-2626720 by the applicant.
- connectors of the above type are widely used, both in the case where the housing is rectangular and has terminals distributed in a rectangular or staggered network, as in the case of a so-called round housing. .
- These connectors can have a relatively simple constitution and allow high densities of distribution of the terminals.
- the current connectors of the above type have drawbacks.

- the plate is extended, beyond the solid part 22, by sets of locking fingers 28 thickened at their free end and the elasticity of which tends to keep them in a position where their end, constituting snap-on spouts, delimits a section smaller than that of the terminal barrel.
- Each set will generally have two diametrically opposite fingers 28.
- the two fingers associated with a hole will generally be oriented at 90 ° from the fingers associated with the adjacent holes, in the case of a square or rectangular network.
- Each terminal 16 has a step, which in the illustrated case is formed by the flank facing towards the front of a collar 30.
- the part of the barrel of the terminal placed in front of the collar has a smaller diameter, sufficiently small so that '' it is possible to introduce the terminal beyond of the shoulder of the hole 26.

- the section further carries a pawl 38 intended to engage in a longitudinal slot 40 of the housing.
- the longitudinal development of the light is such that the pawl can move freely between a rear position ( Figure 3) where it retains the retention plate in a position where the fingers are free and allow the insertion and removal of the terminals and a position corresponding to the support of the plate against the transverse partition 14 of the housing 10.
- the housing is advantageously formed to allow to flex easily the section carrying the pawl and the lug with the finger.
- a rear notch 42 is provided in the side wall 18. It allows to press with the finger on a fraction of the section which can be provided with a flange.
- Figures 3 and 4 show two diametrically opposite sections, facilitating the release by clamping the sections between two fingers.
- the connector is then generally completed by sliding a grommet made of flexible material in the skirt of the plate and by blocking it with a cap, screwed for example onto a thread of the side wall 18 of the housing.

Description
La présente invention concerne les connecteurs électriques du type comprenant un boîtier isolant percé de passages parallèles de réception de bornes électriques et une plaque de rétention insérable dans le boîtier jusqu'à une position avant dans laquelle elle est retenue, ladite plaque étant percée de trous de réception des bornes, répartis suivant le même réseau que les passages et se prolongeant vers l'avant par des doigts élastiques de retenue des bornes par encliquetage, les doigts ayant une forme adaptée à celle des passages de façon à pouvoir pénétrer dans les passages et à y être retenus dans la position où ils maintiennent les bornes lorsque la plaque de rétention est dans ladite position avant. On pourra trouver une description d'un connecteur de ce genre dans le document FR-A-2626720 de la demanderesse.The present invention relates to electrical connectors of the type comprising an insulating housing pierced with parallel passages for receiving electrical terminals and a retention plate insertable in the housing to a front position in which it is retained, said plate being pierced with holes reception of the terminals, distributed along the same network as the passages and extending forwards by elastic fingers for retaining the terminals by snap-fastening, the fingers having a shape adapted to that of the passages so as to be able to penetrate the passages and be retained there in the position where they hold the terminals when the retention plate is in said front position. A description of a connector of this kind can be found in document FR-A-2626720 by the applicant.
A l'heure actuelle, on utilise très largement des connecteurs du type ci-dessus, aussi bien dans le cas où le boîtier est rectangulaire et comporte des bornes réparties suivant un réseau rectangulaire ou en quinconce que dans le cas d'un boîtier dit rond. Ces connecteurs peuvent avoir une constitution relativement simple et permettent des densités élevées de répartition des bornes.At present, connectors of the above type are widely used, both in the case where the housing is rectangular and has terminals distributed in a rectangular or staggered network, as in the case of a so-called round housing. . These connectors can have a relatively simple constitution and allow high densities of distribution of the terminals.
En contrepartie, les connecteurs actuels du type ci-dessus présentent des inconvénients. Ou bien la plaque de rétention n'assure que la retenue des bornes dans un sens (la retenue dans l'autre sens étant prévue par des moyens distincts), ou bien les doigts élastiques assurent seuls la retenue. La première solution complique la réalisation. La seconde permet difficilement d'arriver à une retenue énergique des bornes dans une position longitudinale précise.In return, the current connectors of the above type have drawbacks. Either the retention plate only ensures the retention of the terminals in one direction (the retention in the other direction being provided by separate means), or else the elastic fingers alone provide the retention. The first solution complicates the realization. The second hardly makes it possible to arrive at an energetic retention of the terminals in a precise longitudinal position.
On connaît également (US 3 638 165) un connecteur électrique comportant un isolant percé de passages de réception de bornes et une plaque de rétention. Cette plaque est fixée rigidement à l'isolant. Un jeu est nécessaire entre les doigts de la plaque et la paroi de chaque passage. Il n'y a pas à proprement parler d'encliquetage des doigts sur les bornes.There is also known (US 3,638,165) an electrical connector comprising an insulator pierced with terminal receiving passages and a retention plate. This plate is rigidly attached to the insulation. A clearance is necessary between the fingers of the plate and the wall of each passage. Strictly speaking, there is no snap of the fingers on the terminals.
La présente invention vise notamment à fournir un connecteur électrique du type ci-dessus défini, garantissant la rétention des bornes de contact de façon efficace et précise, et cependant très simple.The present invention aims in particular to provide an electrical connector of the type defined above, guaranteeing the retention of the contact terminals efficiently and precisely, and yet very simple.
Dans ce but elle propose notamment un connecteur selon la revendication 1.To this end, it notably proposes a connector according to claim 1.
Grâce à cette constitution, les moyens de rétention des bornes sont en totalité sur la plaque de rétention , les passages du boîtier n'ayant qu'un rôle de confirmation de l'encliquetage.Thanks to this constitution, the terminal retention means are entirely on the retention plate, the passages of the housing having only a role of confirming the latching.
Lorsque l'on recherche une densité de répartition des contacts aussi élevée que possible, il est avantageux de disposer les doigts de retenue de contacts adjacents dans des orientations différentes. Lorsque par exemple les bornes sont réparties suivant un réseau carré, il est avantageux de munir chaque trou de deux doigts opposés, les doigts équipant un trou déterminé étant orientés à 90° des doigts équipant les quatre trous adjacents.When looking for a contact distribution density as high as possible, it is advantageous to have the adjacent contact retaining fingers in different orientations. When, for example, the terminals are distributed in a square network, it is advantageous to provide each hole with two opposite fingers, the fingers equipping a determined hole being oriented at 90 ° from the fingers equipping the four adjacent holes.
Dans un but de simplification, la plaque de rétention peut comporter des moyens permettant de la verrouiller directement sur le boîtier isolant en position avant : on évite ainsi la nécessité d'organes supplémentaires de verrouillage. En conséquence, dans un connecteur selon une réalisation avantageuse, la plaque de rétention est munie de moyens de verrouillage qui coopèrent avec la paroi latérale d'une cavité ménagée dans le boîtier isolant pour recevoir la plaque. Ces moyens permettent d'interdire le recul de la plaque par rapport au boîtier à partir de la position avant, pour laquelle la plaque est en appui contre une cloison transversale, pouvant être regardée comme le fond du boîtier.For the sake of simplification, the retention plate may include means allowing it to be locked directly on the insulating housing in the front position: this avoids the need for additional locking members. Consequently, in a connector according to an advantageous embodiment, the retention plate is provided with locking means which cooperate with the side wall of a cavity formed in the insulating housing to receive the plate. These means make it possible to prohibit the backward movement of the plate relative to the housing from the front position, for which the plate is in abutment against a transverse partition, which can be viewed as the bottom of the housing.
Les revendications dépendantes définissent encore d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses.Dependent claims further define other advantageous features.
La plupart des connecteurs existants exigent l'utilisation d'un outillage pour démonter un connecteur et ôter une borne ou plusieurs. Dans un mode avantageux de réalisation de l'invention, le connecteur est rendu démontable sans utilisation d'outil. Pour cela, le tronçon comporte une partie décalée circonférentiellement du cliquet et de l'ergot et la paroi du boîtier présente une échancrure de passage de la partie décalée, permettant d'exercer sous cette partie une force de flexion vers l'intérieur à l'aide du doigt.Most existing connectors require the use of tools to disassemble a connector and remove one or more terminals. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the connector is made removable without the use of a tool. For this, the section has a circumferentially offset portion of the pawl and the lug and the wall of the housing has a notch for passage of the offset portion, allowing to exert under this portion an inward bending force to the help with your finger.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un mode particulier de réalisation, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif. La description se réfère aux dessins qui l'accompagnent, dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 montre, en perspective, une embase suivant un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention ;
- la figure 2 est une vue éclatée de l'embase de la figure 1 ;
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe de l'embase de la figure 1 suivant un plan passant par l'axe et traversant le cliquet de retenue temporaire, la plaque étant partiellement insérée ;
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe de l'embase suivant un plan passant par l'axe et par l'ergot de verrouillage, la plaque étant en position avant.
- Figure 1 shows, in perspective, a base according to a particular embodiment of the invention;
- Figure 2 is an exploded view of the base of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of the base of Figure 1 along a plane passing through the axis and passing through the temporary retaining pawl, the plate being partially inserted;
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of the base along a plane passing through the axis and the locking pin, the plate being in the front position.
Le connecteur représenté schématiquement sur les figures est une embase dont les bornes de contact sont constituées par des broches réparties suivant un réseau carré. Mais l'invention serait aussi bien appliquable à une fiche et/ou à un connecteur muni de bornes constituées par des douilles. Bien que l'invention présente un intérêt particulier dans le cas de bornes décolletées, elle est également appliquable au cas de bornes fabriquées par découpe et roulage de feuillard.The connector shown schematically in the figures is a base, the contact terminals of which consist of pins distributed in a square network. However, the invention would also be applicable to a plug and / or to a connector provided with terminals constituted by sockets. Although the invention is of particular interest in the case of low-profile terminals, it is also applicable to the case of terminals manufactured by cutting and rolling of strip.
Le connecteur comprend un boîtier 10 et une plaque de rétention 12, l'un et l'autre en matériau isolant, par exemple en matériau thermo-plastique ou thermo-durcissable renforcé par des charges, telles que de la fibre de verre.The connector includes a
Le boîtier 10 représenté peut être regardé comme ayant une cloison 14 percée de passages de réception des bornes 16 (dont une seule est représentée) et une paroi latérale arrière 18 délimitant une cavité de réception de la plaque de rétention 12. Le connecteur étant une embase, il présente de plus un manchon avant 20 portant des moyens de fixation d'un connecteur complémentaire et qui, dans le cas illustré, sont constitués par un filetage. Dans la cloison 14, qui constitue le fond sont ménagés des passages étagés régulièrement répartis de réception des fûts des bornes.The
La plaque de rétention 12 comporte de son côté une partie massive 22 en forme de disque destinée à s'appuyer contre la cloison 14 du boîtier et une jupe arrière 24.The
La partie massive 22 est percée de trous 25 de réception de bornes, ayant la même répartition que les passages. Chacun des ces trous présentent un épaulement 26 dirigé vers l'arrière et destiné à constituer une butée pour la borne correspondante. La plaque est prolongée, au-delà de la partie massive 22, par des jeux de doigts de verrouillage 28 épaissis à leur extrémité libre et dont l'élasticité tend à les maintenir dans une position où leur extrémité, constituant des becs d'encliquetage, délimite une section inférieure à celle du fût des bornes. Chaque jeu comportera généralement deux doigts 28 diamétralement opposés. Pour autoriser une densité élevée de répartition des trous et des bornes, les deux doigts associés à un trou seront généralement orientés à 90° des doigts associés aux trous adjacents, dans le cas d'un réseau carré ou rectangulaire.The
Chaque borne 16 présente un redan, qui dans le cas représenté est formé par le flanc tourné vers l'avant d'une collerette 30. La partie du fût de la borne placée en avant de la collerette présente un diamètre inférieur, suffisamment faible pour qu'il soit possible d'introduire la borne au-delà de l'épaulement du trou 26. Chaque borne comporte de plus une gorge à profil en V, destinée à l'encliquetage des becs terminaux des doigts 28. La paroi avant de la gorge constitue un épaulement d'accrochage des becs terminaux des doigts 28. La distance entre cet épaulement et le redan correspond à la distance entre l'épaulement du trou et l'emplacement des becs.Each
La plaque de rétention 12 est munie de moyens de verrouillage coopérant avec la paroi latérale 18 du boîtier. Ces moyens comprennent un tronçon circonférentiel de la jupe arrière, délimité par des fentes 32, parallèles à la direction d'insertion. Le tronçon 32 comporte un ergot 34 destiné à s'encliqueter dans une rainure circonférentielle 36 du boîtier (figure 2).The
Le tronçon porte de plus un cliquet 38 destiné à s'engager dans une lumière longitudinale 40 du boîtier. Le développement longitudinal de la lumière est tel que le cliquet peut se déplacer librement entre une position arrière (figure 3) où il retient la plaque de rétention dans une position où les doigts sont libres et autorisent l'insertion et l'enlèvement des bornes et une position correspondant à l'appui de la plaque contre la cloison transversale 14 du boîtier 10. Pour permettre le retrait de la plaque 12 jusqu'à la position montrée en figure 3 ou son retrait complet sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser un outil, le boîtier est avantageusement constitué pour permettre de fléchir aisément le tronçon portant le cliquet et l'ergot avec le doigt. Pour cela, une échancrure arrière 42 est ménagée dans la paroi latérale 18. Elle permet d'appuyer avec le doigt sur une fraction du tronçon qui peut être munie d'un rebord.The section further carries a
En général, on prévoira, au lieu d'un seul tronçon destiné au verrouillage, plusieurs tronçons également répartis. Les figures 3 et 4 montrent deux tronçons diamétralement opposés, facilitant le dégagement par serrage des tronçons entre deux doigts.In general, there will be provided, instead of a single section intended for locking, several sections equally distributed. Figures 3 and 4 show two diametrically opposite sections, facilitating the release by clamping the sections between two fingers.
La mise en place des bornes alors que le boîtier et la plaque de rétention sont dans la position montrée en figure 3, puis l'assemblage du connecteur en poussant la plaque de rétention jusqu'à la position montrée en figure 4 ressortent clairement de la description qui précède, de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de donner une énumération détaillée des étapes nécessaires. Le connecteur est ensuite généralement complété en faisant glisser un passe-fils en matériau souple dans la jupe de la plaque et en le bloquant à l'aide d'un capuchon, vissé par exemple sur un filetage de la paroi latérale 18 du boîtier.The installation of the terminals while the housing and the retention plate are in the position shown in FIG. 3, then the assembly of the connector by pushing the retention plate to the position shown in FIG. 4 is clear from the above description, so that it is not no need to give a detailed enumeration of the necessary steps. The connector is then generally completed by sliding a grommet made of flexible material in the skirt of the plate and by blocking it with a cap, screwed for example onto a thread of the
