Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a contact carrier module for at least one contact element which includes at least one housing for this element of contact, said housing comprising a locking element of said element of contact, and a folding flap hinged to said module around a hinge region and indicating, in a folded position, a locking of the contact element by the locking element, said folding flap has an external face opposite to the contact element, a recess adjoining the hinge region, an internal face directed towards the contact element and a locking finger allowing a secondary locking.
- Said locking finger constitutes a stop relative to to a surface of the contact element which prevents movement of the flap towards the folded down position until the contact element is fully inserted into the contact carrier module.
- the folding flap is constituted by a finger elastic ( Figure 7, item 56) which is folded down so as to immobilize two terminals both when inserting the insulating bodies into a housing.
- the elastic finger is arranged on a face opposite to that of the latches 50A for immobilizing the element of contact.
- the subject of the present invention is a contact carrier module which not having the aforementioned drawback.
- the contact carrier module according to the invention is characterized in what, as long as the contact element is not completely inserted in the module contact holder, the recess of the flap constitutes a stop which prevents insertion of the contact carrier module in a housing and, in that when the contact element is completely inserted in the contact carrier module, the flap can be moved to a folded position in which the recess no longer prevents the insertion of the contact carrier module in a housing.
- the hinge region is a thinned region of which a distal end connects substantially in the middle of a proximal side of the folding flap.
- the module can include a plurality of housings for a plurality of contact elements, and a folding flap common to at least some of said housing.
- the invention also relates to a connector comprising a housing module holder and at least one module as defined above, the module holder box having an upper face having a flat region against which comes block said abutment region when the flap is not in its position folded down.
- a contact carrier module designated by the general reference 10 has a side wall 14 in which separating elements 12 determine housings 11 of substantially rectangular shape which are intended to receive contact elements designated by the general reference 1.
- separating elements 12 determine housings 11 of substantially rectangular shape which are intended to receive contact elements designated by the general reference 1.
- this region 71 extending on the one hand downwards by locking latches 73, one per housing 11, these latches each carrying a locking finger 75, and on the other hand upwards by hinge regions 76, also one per housing 11, these regions 76 being thinner than region 71 and joining substantially in the middle of the base 100 of a folding flap 77 which has on an internal face 78 facing the contact element 1, a lug 79 serving firstly to indicate that the contact element contact 1 is correctly inserted, and on the other hand secondary locking as well as will be shown later.
- the base of the locking lever 77 has a region stop 80 which adjoins the hinge region 76 and which is directed towards the outside of the contact carrier module.
- a contact element designated by the general reference 1 has a front part 2 ending in an end region 21 and having two faces side 24 facing the separating element 12 and a side face 22 facing towards the folding flap 77.
- a rear face 25 separates the front part 22 from the region lock detection 3.
- the region 3 has an opening 32 delimited by the rear face 25, the transverse face 31 of an intermediate region 33 and a face front or bottom 42 of region 4 which extends rearward through an element 5 intended to receive the end of a cable 6.
- the side face 22 of the front part 2 has a region of recess 23 to allow locking of the latch 73 by means of his finger 75.
- the housings 11 are limited to the front part of the module by a stop region 85 which partially closes the housings 11 at their lower part.
- FIGS. 3A to 3C The insertion of a contact in the contact carrier module and of the module in a module-carrying case is illustrated in FIGS. 3A to 3C.
- the contact element 1 is incompletely inserted and its lateral face 22 limits the movements of the finger 79 of the flap 77.
- it is impossible to force further the insertion of the contact carrier module into the housing 9 since the recess 80 is located outside the flap by relative to the connection zone between the hinge region 76 and the flap 77.
- This step 80 then comes into abutment against the upper face of the wall 93 of the housing 9 causing a straightening of the folding flap 77, straightening that allows the flexibility of the hinge 76.
- This straightening by pivoting is limited by the presence of finger 79 which prevents the detachment 80 from emerging from the face upper 94 ( Figure 3B).
- the flap folding 77 is common to all contact elements 1, only after insertion complete of all of the contact elements 1 of the contact carrier module, that the folding flap 77 can be completely erased in opening 32. In this position, the recess 23 is snapped into the finger 75 of the latch 73.
