Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical connector for connecting a shielded multiconductor cable to an electrical assembly placed inside a chassis.
- the electrical assemblies which, enclosed in these frames, consume electrical energy are usually supplied by electrical generators which are designed to deliver electrical currents whose voltage, current and / or frequency characteristics must meet well-defined conditions to allow these assemblies to function properly.
- electrical generators which are designed to deliver electrical currents whose voltage, current and / or frequency characteristics must meet well-defined conditions to allow these assemblies to function properly.
- Some of these electric generators such as those which deliver DC voltages of a few tens of volts for example, can be housed inside the same chassis as that which accommodates the consumer assembly which is supplied by these generators.
- other generators such as those which are known by the name of inverters for example, cannot take place inside the chassis in which the consumer assembly is located which they must supply, for the reason that these generators are often the source of relatively high high frequency electromagnetic radiation and therefore require solid shielding which makes them particularly heavy and bulky.
- this connector being made up of two parts of connector, the first of which, integral with a chassis, comprises an insulating body provided with housings into which are inserted contact elements of a first type (for example female), these contact elements being connected to the circuits of a generator assembly or of the consumer assembly contained in this chassis, and the second of which, fixed to one end of the multiconductor cable, comprises an insulating body provided with housings in which elements are inserted contact elements of a second type (for example male) intended to be brought into contact with the contact elements of the first type when these two connector parts are coupled to each other, these contact elements of the second type being connected to the conductive wires of the multiconductor cable.
- a first type for example female
- the second of which, fixed to one end of the multiconductor cable comprises an insulating body provided with housings in which elements are inserted contact elements of a second type (for example male) intended to be brought into contact with the contact elements of the first type when these two connector parts are coupled to each other, these contact elements of the second type
- the insulating body of the first connector part is provided with a first shielding element which, made of a conductive material, is electrically connected to the metal frame.
- the insulating body of the second connector part is provided with a second shielding element which, also made of a conductive material, is electrically connected to the shielding sheath of the cable.
- These two shielding elements are profiled so as to fit one into the other during the coupling of the two connector parts, this which ensures continuity of the shielding between the multiconductor cable and the metal frame.
- the present invention overcomes these drawbacks and proposes an electrical connector which, intended to allow the connection of a shielded multiconductor cable to an electrical assembly (generator or consumer of energy) enclosed inside a metal chassis, ensures the continuity of the shielding between this cable and this chassis, without requiring expensive shielding elements and requiring relatively high mechanical forces during the coupling and uncoupling operations of the two parts of this connector.
- the present invention relates to (see claim 1) an electrical connector allowing a multiconductor cable provided with a shielding sheath to be electrically connected to an electrical assembly placed inside a metal frame, this connector being consisting, on the one hand of a first connector part comprising an electrically insulating body provided with contact elements of a first type capable of being electrically connected to said electrical assembly, this body being intended to be secured to said chassis, inside thereof, opposite an opening made in an enclosure plate of this chassis, on the other hand of a second connector part comprising an electrically insulating body having a coupling face intended to be brought at least near the insulating body of said first part when these two parts are coupled to one another, the body of the second part also having faces adjacent to said coupling face, the latter insulating body being provided with housings into which are inserted contact elements of a second type intended to be connected to the contact elements of said first connector part when these two parts are coupled to each other, these elements second type contact being electrically connected to the conductors of said screened cable, said
- the connector which is shown in Figure 1 comprises two connector parts 10 and 11 which can be coupled to each other in a manner which will be indicated later.
- the connector part 10 comprises an insulating body 12, having the shape of a parallelepiped whose width e is relatively small compared to its length L and its height h. Thus, in the example described, this height h is substantially equal to five times the value of the width e.
- This body 12 is made of an insulating material having high mechanical strength and excellent electrical insulation for the contact elements, such as, for example, the acetal resin sold commercially under the name of "Delrin" (registered trademark) or else polycarbonate. commercially sold under the name of "Makrolon" (registered trademark).
- the insulating body 12 is provided with housings 13, of cylindrical shape, which, passing through the mass of this body, each open onto the two parallel faces 14 and 15 of this body which have for dimensions the values e and h indicated above.
- housings 13, of cylindrical shape which, passing through the mass of this body, each open onto the two parallel faces 14 and 15 of this body which have for dimensions the values e and h indicated above.
- FIG. 1 only the face 14, which constitutes the coupling face of the connector part 10 is visible, while the face 15, which is located at the rear of the part 10, as can be seen. understand by referring to Figure 3, is not visible.
- each of the contact elements which are inserted into these housings 13 is of the female type and has a recessed part 30.
- each contact element 16 is connected, at its end situated on the side of the face 15, to a sheathed conductive wire 17 which establishes the electrical connection between this contact element and an electrical apparatus 18. It will be considered that this electrical apparatus is normally enclosed within a metal frame which has been partially represented in FIG. 1, this chassis, designated by the reference 19, serving both as a mechanical support and as a shield for this apparatus.
- the chassis 19, which is of parallelepipedal shape, comprises enclosure plates which ensure the delimitation of the interior space of this chassis.
- One, 20, of the four vertical enclosure plates of this chassis is pierced with a rectangular opening 21 facing which is disposed the part of the connector 10, this connector part being placed inside the chassis 19 and being made integral with this chassis by means of fixing of known type (not shown).
- the position of the connector part 10 is such that its coupling face 14 is flush with or slightly exceeds the plane of the enclosure plate 20, which allows the connector part 11 which is located outside the chassis 19 to be able to be connected to the connector part 10, in a manner which will be explained later.
- the connector part 11 which is shown in exploded form in this figure, comprises an insulating body 22, of rectangular shape, having substantially the same width e and the same height h as those of the insulating body 12 of the connector part 10, this insulating body 22 thus having two faces having each for dimensions e and h. Only one, 27, of these two faces is visible in FIG. 2.
- the other face, designated by the reference 23 in FIG. 3, constitutes the coupling face of the connector part 11, this face of coupling 23 being intended to come into contact, or at least in the immediate vicinity, of the coupling face 14 of the connector part 10 when these two parts 10 and 11 are coupled to one another.
- the insulating body 22 has four faces 40, 41, 42 and 43 which are adjacent to the coupling face 23 and two of which, 42 and 43, are oriented vertically in the figure, each of these two faces having for dimensions h and M, M denoting the length of the insulating body 22.
- the faces 40 and 41 are, respectively, the upper face and the underside of the insulating body 22.
- This insulating body 22 is made of an insulating material similar to that which constitutes the insulating body 12 of the connector part 10.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show that the insulating body 22 is provided, on its coupling face 23, with hollow insulating plugs 24, in number equal to that of the housings 13 of the insulating body 12, these hollow plugs being intended to come each to engage respectively in each of these housings 13 during the coupling of the parts 10 and 11.
- Each of these plugs 24 is pierced with a cylindrical cavity eu 25 in which engages, during the introduction of the plug into a housing 13, the contact element 16 which is located in this housing.
- Each cylindrical cavity 25 communicates with a housing 26 which, from the coupling face 23, passes through the mass of the insulating body 22 to open on the face 27 of this body which is opposite to the coupling face 23.
- This housing 26 is used to receive a contact element 28 ending in a rod 29 which, extending along the axis of the cylindrical cavity 25, is introduced into the recessed part 30 of the contact element 16 during the coupling the two connector parts 10 and 11.
- Each contact element 28 is connected, at its end situated next to the face 27, to each of the conducting wires 31 of a shielded multiconductor cable 32 (FIG. 1), the assembly of these conductive wires being disposed inside a shielding sheath 33 made of an electrically conductive material, this sheath itself being enclosed within an envelope 34 of insulating material.
- the connector part 11 which is shown in FIG. 2 further comprises two insulating covers 35 and 36 which, provided for dismantling, can be assembled to one another by means of screws 37.
- These two covers 35 and 36 which are each provided with a curved tab 38 which can be engaged in a stirrup 39 formed by molding on the insulating body 22, are intended to protect the end portion of the shielded multiconductor cable 32 on which the connector part 11, ensuring, as can be understood from FIG. 3, a reinforcement of the mechanical rigidity of this terminal portion, which reduces the risks of separation of the cable 32 and the connector part 11 during repeated operations of coupling and uncoupling of this part with the connector part 10.
- these two covers which are arranged on either side of this end portion of the cable 32, as seen in Figure 3 , prevent, when they are joined together, that the stripped end of the shielding sheath 33 of this cable does not undergo, during handling of this cable, deformations capable of causing involuntary contacting of the conducting wires 31 with each other by means of this sheath 33.
- FIGS 3 and 4 allow to understand that, during a coupling operation of the two connector parts 10 and 11, each of the hollow plugs 24 of the part 11 engages respectively in the free space of each of the housings 13 of part 10, that is to say in the region of the housing which is not occupied by the contact element 16 which is in this housing, while, simultaneously, each of the rods 29 respectively penetrates into each of the recessed parts 30 of the contact elements 16.
- the housings 13, the plugs 24 and the contact elements 16 are dimensioned so as to provide a small clearance between each housing and each hollow plug inserted in this housing and between each hollow plug and each contact element 16 introduced in this fi che hollow.
- the hollowed out parts 30 and the rods 29 are produced in such a way that the introduction of a rod 29 into a hollowed out part 30 takes place with a slight friction of the surfaces of these parts which are brought into contact. It can be observed, by comparing Figures 3 and 4, that, at the end of the coupling operation of the two connector parts 10 and 11, the coupling faces 14 and 23 of these two parts are in the immediate vicinity one from the other.
- these two parts are provided with a locking device constituted, in the example described, by a hooking lug 45 (FIG. 1) which, made of a material similar to that constituting the insulating body 22, is fixed, in a flexible manner, to the upper face 40 of this body 22, this tab 45 being provided with an opening 46 into which engages, when the two connector parts 10 and 11 are coupled to each other, a lug 47 formed by molding on the upper face of the connector part 10.
- the tab 45 is integral with an actuating tongue 48 which, when the two connector parts 10 and 11 are coupled to one another, allows the operator to lift tab 45 to release the lug 47 of the opening 46 and thus release the connector part 11 so that it can then be uncoupled from the part 10.
- Another locking device similar to that which has just been described, is also provided on the lower face 41 of the connector part 11.
- Figures 1 and 2 also show that the side face 42 of the insulating body 22 of the second connector part is coated with a sheet 50 which, made of an electrically conductive material, is provided with a recess 51 in which can be engaged, when the cover 35 is dismantled, the stirrup 39 which protrudes on this face 42.
- the recess 51 is dimensioned so that the engagement of the stirrup 39 in this recess takes place with a very low clearance, so that the sheet 50 cannot move on the face 42 on which it has been applied.
- this sheet 50 is chosen to be thin enough so that, once applied to the face 42, it does not hinder the introduction, into the stirrup 39 of this face, of the curved tab 38 of the cover 35, this introduction, which aims to secure the cover 35 with the insulating body 22, further having the effect of preventing the release of the sheet 50 of this stirrup.
- the sheet 50 which has thus been positioned on the lateral face 42, has a free part 52 which, from the face 27 of the insulating body 22, extends beyond this body, that is to say at right of the body 22 shown in FIG. 3, so as to take place, in the interior space between the two insulating covers 35 and 36, against the internal face of the cover 35.
- This free part 52 is electrically connected to the shielding sheath 33 of the cable 32, this connection operation, carried out by welding, being carried out, either after the sheet 50 has been engaged, by its recess 51, in the stirrup 39 of the face 42, that is, on the contrary, before this sheet is engaged in this recess.
- the sheet 50 which has been engaged in this stirrup also has a flexible part 53 which, as can be seen in FIG. 3, extends along the insulating body 22, to the left of it, that is to say substantially in the direction of the first connector part 10, when the second connector part 11 is positioned with a view to being coupled to this first connector part.
- a flexible part 53 which, as can be seen in FIG. 3, extends along the insulating body 22, to the left of it, that is to say substantially in the direction of the first connector part 10, when the second connector part 11 is positioned with a view to being coupled to this first connector part.
- this flexible part 53 has, near its end 54, an end portion 55 which has been slightly bent, in a direction having the effect of moving this end 54 away from the plane P of the lateral face 42, this terminal portion 55 forming with this plane P an angle B ⁇ less than eighty ten degrees. In a more particularly advantageous embodiment, this angle B ⁇ has a value practically equal to forty five degrees. Furthermore, as can be understood with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the flexible part 53 has a length such that, when the connector part 11 is moved to be coupled to the connector part 10, the end portion 55 of this flexible part comes into contact with the enclosure plate 20 a little before the coupling operation of the two connector parts is completed.
- this angle a has a value close to about twenty degrees, so that the value of sin est is practically equal to 0.4.
- the force G with which the flexible part of the sheet 50 is applied to the enclosure plate 20 must have a value sufficient to allow good contact to be ensured between this sheet 50 and this plate 20. However, this force should not not exceed a certain limit value above which the coupling operation of the two connector parts 10 and 11 would prove difficult for the operator.
- this sheet 50 is made of steel and thus has a modulus of elasticity practically equal to 25,000 daN / mm2.
- this sheet has a thickness practically equal to 0.1 mm and a width b (FIG. 2) practically equal to 45 mm, while the flexible part 53 of this sheet has a length practically equal to 16 mm.
- the displacement f undergone by the end 54 of the flexible part 53 is substantially equal to 4.5 mm.
- the sheet 50 achieves excellent continuity between the shielding sheath 33 of the cable 32 and the enclosure plate 20 which participates in the shielding of the metal frame 19.
- the terminal portion sheet 50 can be provided with notches 57 which, practiced at regular intervals and oriented in a direction perpendicular to the end of this terminal portion, allow a better distribution of the contact force along this end.
- the conductive sheet 50 can naturally be made of a conductive material, other than steel, capable of undergoing small elastic deformations and of resuming its initial shape after the disappearance of the bending force.
- this sheet could be made of a copper alloy with beryllium.
- the thickness of this sheet is practically equal to 0.2 mm.
- the lateral face 43 of the insulating body 22 is also provided, as can be seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 , of a sheet of conductive material 60, this sheet being analogous to sheet 50 and being mounted in a similar manner to that of this last sheet.
- the upper 40 and lower 41 faces of the insulating body 22 each have a width e which is relatively small, this width being close to five millimeters in the example described. Consequently, the surface of each of these two faces is relatively small and, therefore, it is not necessary to provide these faces with sheets of conductive material, the sheets 50 and 60 being indeed sufficient to ensure the continuity of the shielding of electrical circuits against the effects of external electromagnetic radiation.
- the insulating body 22 can have a shape in which the four faces 40, 41, 42 and 43 which are adjacent to the face of coupling of this body each have significant dimensions, that is to say at least equal to fifteen millimeters for example.
- each of these four faces with a sheet of conductive material, some of these sheets, such as that which is designated by the reference 80 in Figure 5, which can be cut so as to leave uncovered the locking devices which are provided on the faces on which these sheets are arranged.
- the electrical connector which is shown in FIG. 5 is more particularly intended for ensuring the connection of a shielded multiconductor cable having a circular section.
- each of the sheets of conductive material may have a shape different from that which is shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.
- the sheet 50 which is mounted on the face 42 of the connector part 11 comprises, near its end 54, an end portion 55 which is folded so that its cross section is practically in the shape of a U, this U having two branches 70 and 71 oriented substantially in a direction parallel to the plane of the face 42, these two branches being joined by a base 72 which, when the two connector parts 10 and 11 are coupled comes into contact with the plate pregnant 20.
- the terminal portion 55 of the sheet 50 has a cross section which also has the shape of a U, but with this difference that the two branches 70 and 71 of this U are oriented substantially in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the face 42. It can be seen, in FIG. 7, that the branch 70, which is the furthest from the end 54 of the sheet 50, is in fact folded almost four- twenty-ten degrees relative to the rest of this sheet, and that the branch 71, which is parallel to this branch 70, comes into contact with the external face of the enclosure plate 20 when the two connector parts 10 and 11 are coupled .
- the terminal portion 55 of the sheet 50 has a cross section which has substantially the shape of a V, this V having two branches 70 and 71 which form an angle ⁇ between them whose value is between 60 ° and 75 °.
- the branch 71 which is closest to the end 54 of this sheet 50 forms with the enclosure plate 20, when the two connector parts 10 and 11 are coupled, an angle D ⁇ whose value is included between 15 ° and 25 °.
