Definitions

  • Electrical connector systems are used for joining electrical circuits, wherein typically a male contact terminal is mated with a female contact terminal.
  • the terminals are arranged in respective connector housings to allow a safe and reliable mating process.
  • a particularly safe and reliable coupling of contact terminals is of high importance.
  • a large amount of terminals and/or space constraints make it difficult for the technician in an assembly process to apply sufficient (manual) force to the connector housings in order to achieve a full mating. This is for example often the case in automotive applications, where electrical connections need to be reliably established at locations which are difficult to access, like for instance behind dashboards.
  • the mating process can be facilitated by providing the connector housings with mate-assist devices, for example with mate-assist levers or sliders.
  • the patent application WO 2006/101816 A1 shows a typical connector assembly, comprising a mate-assist lever, wherein the rotational movement of the mate-assist lever leads to an engagement of the connector with a counter connector to establish an electrical connection.
  • a first mechanical lock in form of a cantilever latch and a catch is provided, which prevents the lever from moving out of the mated position.
  • Additional mating safety is provided by a CPA device (Connector Position Assurance device), which is slidably guided on the top surface of the connector housing.
  • CPA device Connector Position Assurance device
  • the mate-assist device can be linearly pushed towards and into a corresponding connector housing.
  • the mate-assist device comprises cam slots in its walls and in the corresponding counter connector housing complementary cam pegs are arranged such that a sliding movement of the mate-assist device leads to an interaction of the cam pegs with the cam slots. This leads in effect to a relative movement of the two connector housings towards each other.
  • the actuating or working direction of the mate assist-device is a translatory movement perpendicular to the mating direction of the two connector housings.
  • FIG. 1 Another connector using a mate-assist system with a combined mate assist lever and mate-assist slider is shown in the European patent application EP 0 273 999 A2 .
  • a connector arrangement with a plug housing and a socket housing is shown, wherein one housing contains plug contact elements and the other socket contact elements.
  • at least one toothed rod which can move at right angles to the direction of insertion and engages with a pinion region of a pivoting operating lever. The lever is pivoted such that it can rotate about the pinion axis between an open position and a closed position.
  • the toothed rod is provided with at least one cranked slot and at least one cam projection which is provided on the other housing to engage with said projection in assembled condition.
  • a connector using a mate-assist system with a combined mate assist lever and mate-assist slider is shown in the European patent application EP 0 933 836 A2 .
  • a connector has a camming slide slidably mounted on a connector housing.
  • the camming slide has a lever arm, pivotally mounted with a pinion engaging a toothed rack provided on the housing to achieve particularly low forces that need to be applied by an operator for mating connectors.
  • the slider comprising an open position for receiving a complementary connector and a closed position where the connector is in a fully mated engagement with the counter connector.
  • mate-assist sliders positioning of the mate-assist sliders in electrical connector systems before assembly of the mate-assist lever or before initiation of the mating process is usually safeguarded by interacting means in form of openings engaging corresponding protrusions provided at the walls of the connector housing and the mate-assist slider. Further, mate-assist levers are usually assembled by flexible means to the connector housing.
  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector comprising a connector housing with a mate-assist slider, where the mate-assist slider is arranged movable along guide portions of the connector housing, and a mate-assist lever, adapted to interact with the mate-assist slider, wherein the mate-assist lever is rotatably mountable on the connector housing to facilitate the mating procedure with a corresponding counter connector.
  • the outer surface of the mate-assist slider is provided with a stopping member, that is arranged to engage a corresponding stopping portion of the connector housing when the mate-assist slider is disposed along the guide portions.
  • the stopping member can block further movement of the mate-assist slider in at least one direction
  • the mate-assist lever comprises release means that are adapted to release the stopping member when the mate-assist lever is mounted at a first position on the connector housing.
  • the electrical connector presented herein fulfil the requirement of an unambiguous defined position of the mate-assist slider and the mate-assist lever at the start of the mating process.
  • the clearly defined starting position of the mate-assist slider can facilitate the mating process as it prevents initiation of the mating process as long as the mate-assist slider is in an unfavorable position.
  • the connector can comprise a multitude of electrically conductive terminals, it can be understood that, with an increasing terminal number, an increased force must be applied to mate said connector with its counterpart. Also it is obvious that a correct alignment of said connector can be difficult, in particular, when the corresponding parts have small dimensions due to a compact design of the connector.
  • the mate-assist slider can be used to guide and facilitate the movement of said connector.
  • the mate-assist lever can be for example rotationally hinged with the connector housing.
  • the rotational movement of the mate-assist lever can be translated to a translational movement of one connector towards its counterpart.
  • the interaction of slider and lever is principally known to the skilled person and for example described in the above referenced prior art documents, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
  • the slider Since the slider is blocked by an engagement of the stopping member of the slider and the corresponding stop portion of the housing it is ensured that the slider can just be moved up to a clearly defined position, which does not need to be controlled visually or in any other way by a user. This facilitates the assembly of the whole connector. Further the stopping member can only be released by a correctly mounted lever. Thus the correct assembly of the electrical connector is safeguarded for both components and mating cannot be initiated, if not both components were assembled in the correct manner.
  • the mate-assist lever can be rotated to a second position, thereby moving the mate-assist slider along the guide portions, wherein in the second position mating of the electrical connector with the corresponding counter connector can be initiated. Allowing the initiation of the mating process at a second position of the mate-assist lever after rotation provides the advantage that mating can only be started when the above described stopping member was successfully disabled. This is only the case if both components, the mate-assist lever and the mate-assist slider are assembled in a correct fashion. Otherwise further slider movement would be blocked by the active stopping member. This verification of correct assembly gives a user a direct feedback (namely, the lever does not move) without the need for visual or acoustic feedback, which facilitates the assembly process.
  • the mate-assist lever can be rotated to a third position, wherein the electrical connector is fully mated with the corresponding counter connector.
  • the rotation of the lever to the third position provides a visual indication that the mating process between a connector and a corresponding counter connector was successful.
  • the mate-assist lever cannot be moved further so that the final mating position of the lever and thus the slider and accordingly the correct and successful mating between the connector and the counter connector is clearly recognizable.
  • the guide portions comprise at least one channel inside the connector housing adapted to receive the mate-assist slider at least partially and wherein one channel wall is formed by an outer wall of the connector housing. Guiding the mate-assist slider inside a channel adapted to receive and guide the mate-assist slider provides the advantage of proper guidance of the movement of the mate-assist slider during the mating process. Guiding the mate-assist slider inside the housing prevents the mate-assist slider from being impacted by outside forces, which could alter the position of the mate-assist slider and hence impacting the mating for of the instance electrical contacts of the connector and the counter connector. Further, the mate-assist slider can be protected inside the channel from any mechanical or environmental influences like for instance moisture and dirt/dust, which could negatively impact a smooth mating procedure.
  • the outer wall of the connector housing does not comprises any openings.
  • the electrical connector is formed preferably mechanically stable and robust. Openings naturally mark weak points, which can easier break or deform, compared to a uniformly designed component. Thus the renouncement of any destabilizing open portions within the walls of the connector increases robustness of the connector assembly, which accordingly increases reliability of the established connection, since the whole assembly is less susceptible against hits or vibrations as they could occur for instance when the connector is used in a car.
  • the stopping member is a blocking protrusion located at an edge of the mate-assist slider that in assembled condition is directed towards the mate-assist lever.
  • Forming the stopping member as blocking protrusion simplifies the manufacturing of the mate-assist slider, since it can be integrally formed with the mate-assist slider and thus be formed as molded in one piece. Further the arrangement of the protrusion on the top of the mate-assist slider simplifies the assembly of the connector as the contact between the blocking protrusion and the mate-assist lever can be directly established by the mounting of the mate-assist lever. The protrusion can be blocked by a simple contact wall of the housing without the need of providing any further means of engaging the stopping member.
  • the lever mounting portion comprises the release means, which is formed to engage with the stopping member.
  • These means engage the stopping member when the lever is mounted in a correct fashion to the connector housing.
  • a flat surface, provided on the lever can function as release member.
  • the surface can engage a corresponding surface at the top of the mate-assist slider.
  • the stopping member is arranged on a flexible web that is integrally formed with the mate-assist slider, to allow an elastic disposition of the stopping member by the release means of the mate-assist lever.
  • An integral formation allows easy manufacturing of the slider, since it can be produced in a one-piece design, preferably as a molded single piece.
  • the elastic disposition allows a multiple time use of the stopping member.
  • the mate-assist lever is provided with a lever pinion and the mate-assist slider is provided with a corresponding slider rack, to achieve a rack and pinion type actuating mechanism between mate-assist lever and mate-assist slider.
  • the engagement of the gears of the slider rack with the gears of the lever pinion allows a translation of the rotational lever movement to a corresponding translational movement of the slider.
  • Both parts are preferably manufactured that they engage each other, when the mate-assist lever is mounted to the connector housing.
  • mate-assist lever Turning of the mate-assist lever from the first, lever mounting position, into the second position leads to a translational movement of the mate-assist slider along the guiding means, provided at the connector housing to guide the movement of the mate-assist slider.
  • a potentially small translational movement of a mate-assist slider can be controlled by a potentially larger rotational movement, which can be designed as desired, dependent on the length of the lever arms and the design of the lever pinion.
  • the mate-assist lever can only be mounted on the housing at a distinct position and orientation. This position can be defined by several means, provided at the connector housing, for instance the above mentioned circular sleeve, which allows that a corresponding pivot pin of the mate-assist lever is received.
  • the pin can enter the sleeve coaxially to the extension direction of the sleeve in a way the rotational axis of the mate-assist lever is formed around which said mate-assist lever can be turned.
  • insertion of the lever pin is only possible when the protrusion, formed at the pin, is entered in the insertion recess.
  • the protrusion is guided in the undercut gap during the rotational movement of the mate-assist lever, preventing a disengagement of the mate-assist lever.
  • the rotational movement of the mate-assist lever is guided in a plane perpendicular to the rotational axis. The guidance of the protrusion in the undercut circumferential gap prevents the mate-assist lever from being disassembled during and after the mounting procedure, which increases robustness and reliability of the connector assembly.
  • the guiding rib and the protrusion are formed to be rigid and stiff.
  • engagement of the protrusion and the walls of the guiding rib achieve a higher mechanical robustness compared to any design where the fixation of the mate-assist lever to the connector housing is performed by flexible means.
  • no further fixation means are needed to obtain a proper fixation of the mate-assist lever, which simplifies the mounting procedure.
  • less flexible materials can be chosen to manufacture the lever and the connector housing.
  • the design, for instance dimensioning of the protrusion and the rib can be as desired, since there is no limitation that any part must comprise a certain flexibility.
  • the mate-assist slider comprises at least one cam slot to receive at least one corresponding cam follower of the counter connector.
  • the cam follower can be provided at the outer surface of the counter connector housing, for instance as outer protrusions.
  • the cam slots can be formed in the outer walls of the mate-assist slider. The cam slots can be arranged so that the guidance of the cam follower in the cam slots during the translational movement of the mate-assist slider lead to a translational movement of the cam follower, perpendicular to the movement of the mate-assist slider.
  • the electrical connector is a standard High Density Connector (HDC) connector.
  • HDMI High Density Connector
  • Fig 1 Shows in a cross-sectional view a preferred embodiment of the invention, namely an electrical connector 1, which can be mated with a corresponding counter connector 3 to establish a mechanical or electrical connection along a mating direction 100.
  • the electrical connector 1 comprises a connector housing 10, which is usually made of an insulative material, such as plastic.
  • Fig. 1 depicts the electrical connector 1 in a condition where the mate-assist lever 50 is not yet mounted to the connector housing 10. The mating process of the electrical connector 1 can be facilitated by a mate-assist slider 30 in connection with the mate-assist lever 50 to be mounted.
  • the mate-assist slider 30 can be produced from an insulative material such as plastic to protect housed electrically conductive parts from damages. Both, the connector housing 10 and the mate-assist slider 30 are each preferably integrally formed, for instance as single molded parts to obtain increased mechanical stability.
  • the movement of the mate-assist slider 30 is guided by guide portions 12 along the connector housing 10.
  • the translational movement of the mate-assist slider 30 is guided along a lateral direction 200 that is perpendicular to the mating direction 100.
  • the guide portions 12 in this embodiment are channel-like and formed such that the mate-assist slider 30 can be tightly received by said channel in a way that the movement of the mate-assist slider 30 is limited to a movement coaxially to the lateral direction 200. Thus any unintended movements of the mate-assist slider 30 can be prevented.
  • the mate-assist slider 30 can be guided in the connector housing 10 along a lateral direction 200 until a stopping member 32 engages a corresponding stopping portion 14 of the connector housing 10 and prevents further lateral movement of the mate-assist slider 30.
  • the mate-assist slider 30 is in a clearly defined position relative to the connector housing 10.
  • the stopping member 32 sufficiently blocks the movement of the mate-assist slider 30, no further means are needed to keep the mate-assist slider 30 in the desired position. This preferably allows waiving of additional recesses provided at the connector housing 10 or mate-assist slider 30, which provision reduce mechanical stability.
  • At least one cam slot 38 is arranged within the mate-assist slider 30, which is formed to receive a corresponding cam follower 70, provided at a counter connector 3.
  • the inclined extension of the cam slots 38 within the wall of the mate-assist slider 30 leads to a movement of the cam follower 70 within said cam slots 38, coaxially to the mating direction 100, which results in an approaching of the counter connector 3 and the electrical connector 1.
  • the one or more cam slots 38 comprise an opening at the side facing the counter connector 3, where the one or more cam followers 70 can enter the corresponding cam slots 38.
  • the electrical connector 1 of the embodiment depicted in Fig. 1 is in a condition, where the mate-assist slider 30 is blocked by a stopping member 32, which engages a corresponding stopping portion 14 at the connector housing 10.
  • the opening of the cam slot 38 is inaccessible for the cam follower 70 because the openings are blocked by the wall of the connector housing 10.
  • the stopping member 32 can be integrally formed and located on the top surface of the mate-assist slider 30.
  • Elastic depositioning of the stopping member 32 can be enabled by providing a recess under the stopping member 32 in the wall of the mate-assist slider 30, thus forming a flexible web 34 at the upper surface of the mate-assist slider 30.
  • the stopping member 32 can be pushed towards mating direction 100 during mate-assist lever 50 assembly.
  • the connector housing 10 further comprises a housing mounting portion 22 at which a mate-assist lever 50 can be mounted.
  • the housing mounting portion 22 is located such that a mate-assist lever 50 can be mounted in the vicinity of the mate-assist slider 30.
  • the housing mounting portion 22 comprises a circular sleeve 16 which comprises a sleeve end portion 28 and one or more guiding ribs 18, formed to receive and guide a corresponding male counterpart of the mate-assist lever 50 in order to rotatably hinge the mate-assist lever 50 with the connector housing 10.
  • the upper portion of the mate-assist slider 30, which faces the housing mounting portion 22 also comprises a slider rack 36 formed to engage with a corresponding lever pinion 62 of the mate-assist lever 50.
  • Fig. 2 shows a close up side view of the housing mounting portion 22 as shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the circular sleeve 16 is formed by the outer wall of the connector housing 10 and is adapted to receive a corresponding male counterpart, such as a pivot pin 66 provided at the mate-assist lever 50.
  • the circular sleeve 16 comprises cylindrical inner walls 26 and a sleeve end portion 28.
  • insertion of the pivot pin 66 can be guided along the cylindrical inner walls 26 of the circular sleeve 16.
  • the pivot pin 66 is depicted in Fig. 5 . This ensures a proper mounting of the mate-assist lever 50 at the connector housing 10.
  • guiding ribs 18 are formed, protruding circumferentially along the cylindrical inner walls 26 and spaced apart from the sleeve end portion 28 along the extension direction of the circular sleeve 16 so that a circumferential gap 24 is formed between the guiding ribs 18 and the sleeve end portion 28, thus undercutting said guiding ribs 18.
  • the guiding ribs 18 comprise at least one insertion recess 20 through which a corresponding protrusion 64, provided at the pivot pin 66, can be inserted.
  • the insertion recess 20 is formed to tightly receive the protrusion 64 so that the protrusion 64 is guided during the assembly of the mate-assist lever 50 in direction towards the sleeve end portion 28.
  • Fig. 2 also a part of the mate-assist slider 30 is shown. As in Fig. 1 , the stopping member 32 engages the corresponding stopping portion 14 at the housing mounting portion 22 of the connector housing 10.
