Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an electrical connector comprising a housing for receiving and fixing a housing insert, the housing insert with a wire fixture disposed inside the housing insert, a sealing member disposed at an end of the housing relative to a plug direction and at least one electrical wire received and positioned by the wire fixture and extending through the sealing member.
- Current plastic materials used in connector bodies are not developed for an increased performance with regard to an electromagnetic interference (EMI). They permit the electrical field to radiate out of the connector housing. Hence mutual coupling or cross talk between communication links can be increased.
- It is known to provide an electrically conductive shield for reducing cross talk effects between communication links and to improve the EMI performance of a connector. In
EP 0 742 683 A1 a flexible conductive sheet as an EMI shield is disclosed. An electronic device is shielded against electromagnetic interference using the flexible conductive sheet forming a shield barrier or enclosure. The sheet is composed of electrically insulating polymer material exposed on the surface of at least one face of the sheet. - Such devices and connectors have to be initially designed and constructed such that EMI shields can be inserted inside of housings or arranged outside of housings. Hence, retrofitting existing connector designs with improved EMI performance is usually not possible.
- Therefore, the object underlying the invention can be seen as consisting in specifying an electric connecter with improved EMI performance and which can be upgraded subsequently without changing the initial design of the connector.
- This object is achieved by means of the respective subject-matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are subject-matter of respective dependent claims.
- According to one aspect, an electrical connector is provided. The electrical connector comprises a housing for receiving and fixing a housing insert inside an inner portion.
- Furthermore, the electrical connector comprises the housing insert with a wire fixture disposed inside the housing insert. A sealing member is disposed at an end of the housing of the electrical connector relative to a plug direction.
- At least one electrical wire is received and positioned by the wire fixture and is extending through the sealing member, wherein at least one of the components of the electrical connector comprises a material with properties for dampening an electrical field strength created by the at least one electrical wire.
- Due to the materials with properties for dampening an electrical field strength, the EMI performance of the electrical connector can be improved. The already existing parts of the electrical connector may be replaced by components composed of alternative materials without redesigning corresponding components.
- The EMI may be reduced by increasing the dielectric constant and loss tangent of at least one of the components of the electric connector. Preferably, the dielectric constant is higher than 2. For example the housing, the housing insert, the wire fixture and/or the sealing member may be manufactured with a modified material composition such that the dielectric properties are allowing stronger dampening effects with regard to the electric field.
- Preferably, the electrical connector can be a terminal connector or header, Ethernet connector, high voltage connector, electronics control unit connector and the like. Furthermore, this approach can be implemented in all products those have to consider electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). For example, cable isolation layers and shrinkage tubes may be provided with such materials, too.
- According to one embodiment, the sealing member is composed of a ferrite mixture for dampening the electrical field strength. Thus, ferrite powder may be blended with a polymer for manufacturing an elastic sealing member for sealing the inner portion of the housing and the electrical wires against environmental influences.
- The ferrite powder blended with polymer may be suitable for injection molding in order to enable a fast and reliable manufacturing process of the sealing member.
- As an alternative or an addition, ferrite powder may be added to the materials of the housing, housing insert or to the wire fixture during their manufacturing process in order to improve corresponding EMC abilities of the said components.
- In a further embodiment, the housing and/or the housing insert are composed of a thermoplastic or a thermoplastic compound comprising a higher permittivity and permeability than Polybutylene terephthalate material (PBT). Since the PBT is frequently used for manufacturing housings of connectors and other electrically insulating components, the EMC of such components may be improved by using materials with a higher permittivity and permeability.
- By increasing the permittivity or permeability dielectric losses can be created inside the electrical connector. The dielectric losses can be adjusted with regard to the loss angle or a loss tangent.
- In order to increase the dielectric losses, the components of the electric connector dielectric loss materials such as Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) ceramics can be utilized as addition to the materials for manufacturing.
- In another embodiment, the housing and/or the housing insert are composed of a conductive plastic or conductive plastic compound. Thus, the components surrounding the electrical wires may act as a Faraday shield blocking electromagnetic fields. Preferably, the parts composed of the conductive plastic may be grounded by electrical connection with corresponding electrical wires.
- By using conductive plastics for EMI shielding, a uniform shielding capability may be provided. Moreover, the shielding can be applied to components with complex geometries. For example, the electrical connector may comprise an additional metal shield which may not necessarily cover the whole connector without affecting the EMI performance.
- In a further embodiment, a ferrite core is disposed inside the housing or inside the housing insert for reducing the electrical field strength. Thus, it is possible to take advantage of the available space inside the inner portion of the housing or inside the housing insert.
- Preferably, the ferrite core may be shaped to fit the available space. Moreover, dependent on the design of the electrical connector a plurality of ferrite cores may be disposed inside the connector housing and/or the housing insert. Thus, it is possible to provide individual ferrite cores for each electrical wire, for example.
- In another embodiment, the ferrite core is fixed inside the housing or the housing insert by a circumferential portion of the wire fixture. The ferrite core may encompass the wire fixture at least partially.
- The wire fixture may comprise structural shaping such as recesses or grooves for receiving the ferrite core positively. Thus, the ferrite core may be fixed inside the housing or the housing insert preventing impacts or damage to the ferrite core during assembly.
- According to another embodiment, the housing comprises at least one latch disposed at an external face of the housing. Thus, the electrical connector may be plugged into a corresponding terminal and fixed inside the terminal preventing unintentional disconnection. Preferably, the housing insert is positively attached to the housing of the electrical connector. The wire fixture may be positively connected to the housing insert.
- In a further embodiment, the housing insert comprises a length extending the housing single-sided against the plug direction of the electrical connector. Hence, the haptic of the electrical connector may be improved due to increased overall length. Moreover, since the length of the housing insert is increased, the housing insert may comprise additional space for receiving a ferrite core.
- In another embodiment, the sealing member is a ferrite core. Application dependent the elastically formed sealing member may be replaced by a static ferrite mixture. Additionally or alternatively, the sealing member may comprise a lower thickness enabling additional space for arranging a ferrite core beside the sealing member.

housing insert 6 is positively arranged. Thus, thehousing 2 and theinsert 6 are forming one unit and a basic shape of theelectrical connector 1. According to the shown embodiment, thehousing insert 6 is extending thehousing 6 opposite to a plug direction P. - On a side of the
housing 2 opposite to the extending housing insert 6 a sealingmember 8 is provided. The sealingmember 8 is composed of an elastic material and is suitable for sealing theelectrical wires 10 against dust and humidity. - The
