Abstract

An electrical connector in which preselected terminals (16) are shunted. Contact portions (108) of the terminals (16) are aligned with a shunt bar (113, 113 min ) and are resiliently deformable from positions engaging the shunt bar (113, 113 min ) in an unmated condition of the connector to positions spaced from the shunt bar (113, 113 min ) in a mated condition of the connector by mating engagement with a complimentary connector. The shunt bar (113, 113 min ) comprises a bridge portion from which asymmetrically spaced contact lugs (116, 117, 116 min , 117 min ) depend. Two shunt bars (113, 113 min ) are located in tandem in back-to-back relation in a housing (15) so that alternate contact tongues (108) are aligned with respective contact lugs (116, 117 min , 116 min , 117) on respective shunt bars (113, 113 min ).

生産ができるものでなければならない。 Therefore, a method has been proposed in which a pair of connectors to be assembled (or fitted) is shunted between predetermined terminals. According to the conventionally proposed methods, in order to realize a data link by combining connectors, there was a drawback that the flow dividing mechanism had to be manually removed before combining the connectors. The construction of such devices must be simple, reliable in operation, and capable of mass production using mass production techniques.

いる。 According to the invention, the connecting portion is spaced apart from the flow diverter from a position in which it engages the flow diverter when the connectors are not mated, and in order to engage the contact portion of a complementary connector when the connectors are mated. It is designed to be able to elastically deform into position.

従つてコネクタを組合せる前に分流装置を何ら
操作する必要がなく、組立体全体を複雑化する必
要もない。 Therefore, there is no need to manipulate the flow divider in any way before assembling the connectors, and there is no need to complicate the overall assembly.

接触部分に関して側方に延長する架橋部分を有し

るように形成される。 Preferably, the flow diverter device includes an integrally formed flow diverter rod with a bridging portion extending laterally with respect to the contact portion formed as a tongue, and contact lugs spaced apart from each other, the flow diverter having a predetermined contact portion. It extends laterally with respect to the bridging portion toward each contact tongue and is configured to engage the contact tongue when the connector is not assembled.

従つて、離隔した予定の端子のみを分流すれば
よく、中間の端子は分流されない。 Therefore, it is only necessary to shunt the terminals that are scheduled to be spaced apart, and the intermediate terminals are not shunted.

さらに具体的に述べると、接触ラグは架橋部分

ができる。 More specifically, the contact lugs are asymmetrically located along the bridge section, with additional diverter bars similar to the first shunt bar juxtaposed with a 180° rotation with respect to the first shunt bar. be done. With such a structure, the contact lugs are aligned alternately with the contact lugs of each flow diverter rod. In this way, the contact tongues can be divided in various combinations.

分流棒には識別装置を形成し、分流棒をハウジ

きる。 The diverter rod can be formed with an identification device to ensure that the diverter rod is only received in a predetermined position direction when the diverter rod is received in the housing.

接触舌片は好ましくは折返えされてその後方に
延長する自由端を各接触ラグと整列するようにす
る。 The contact tongue is preferably folded back so that its rearwardly extending free end is aligned with each contact lug.

コネクタを組合せて係合する間に舌片は折返え
し線を中心に回動するので、自由端が分流棒の接
触ラグから離隔する程度は接触部分の変位の程度
よりも大きくなる利点が得られる。 Since the tongue pivots around the fold line during mating and engagement of the connectors, the advantage is that the degree to which the free end is separated from the contact lug of the flow diverter rod is greater than the degree of displacement of the contact portion. It will be done.

A conductor connection similar to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,860,318, ie, a slotted upright wire receptacle 106, is connected to the body 107 by a neck. From the front end of the body portion 107, a contact portion having a step portion 109 at its free end, that is, a lower contact piece 108 is folded back in the opposite direction. A locking lance 110 is stamped from the base and locking ears 111 each stand upright from opposite edges of the base. When assembling the terminal into the housing, the terminal is inserted into the housing from the rear of the housing until the edges of the body reach the lower areas of the rear faces of two adjacent barriers and the locking lance 110 is inserted into the locking groove. Once springing into 87, the terminal can no longer move in either direction. At this point, contact tongue piece 1
08 will be exposed on the combination surface.

The connector does not insert properly into the panel. Change the position of the same connector by 180° and
Receiving the mold projection in the T-slot provides a significantly more stable structure. When the connectors are mated, the contact tongues 108 of the two connectors engage each other, separating the stepped ends 109 of the terminals from the contact lugs 116, 117 of the flow diverter rod, while simultaneously closing the ground shield of each connector. Since the contact surfaces 79 and 67 of the cable are engaged with each other, the exposed electric wire and contact are qualitatively surrounded by the shield regardless of the direction in which the cable is pulled out, and a braided shield with braid can be realized.
