Definitions

  • the invention relates to a male electrical connector, intended to cooperate with a female electrical connector and comprising a short-circuit device of said male connector, in particular in pre-use or in pre-installation.
  • the invention relates to an improvement of this type of connector. It provides a male electrical connector, for example crimped at the end of the connections from said electrical or electronic circuit, comprising a temporary short-circuit member between said terminals, and typically a shunt. Thus, by shorting said terminals or plugs or male connection tabs, no electric current can pass through the corresponding connection, and therefore in the electronic or electrical circuit to which it is connected.
  • a male electrical connector for example crimped at the end of the connections from said electrical or electronic circuit, comprising a temporary short-circuit member between said terminals, and typically a shunt.
  • the invention therefore relates to a male electrical connector comprising at least two electrically conductive tabs or plugs, intended to be inserted in a female connector comprising corresponding connection terminals. It further comprises an electric shunt intended to short-circuit said plugs or tabs when the male connector is not inserted or connected in the female connector, and the action of which is neutralized when said connector is inserted or connected in the female connector .
  • the shunt is mobile, in particular in translation, and is capable of translating between at least two positions, under the action of plugging the male connector into the female connector, respectively a first position in which said shunt is in contact with electrically conductive plugs or tabs, so as to establish a short circuit between said plugs or tabs, and a second position, in which the shunt is no longer in contact with said plugs or tabs, thus neutralizing the short circuit action.
  • this shunt is constituted by a leaf spring, made of an electrically conductive material, substantially in the shape of a W, and the central tip of which is clearly longer than the lateral wings which define it.
  • each of the plugs or tabs has on its face or its surface opposite the other tab a projection, intended to cooperate with the free end of each of the lateral wings of the W-shaped shunt, in order to object to its removal from the connector.
  • the shunt still plays its role of short circuit, said shunt being neutralized only by plugging in or inserting the male connector as much as possible within the female connector.
  • the electrically conductive metal plugs or tabs are coated with an insulating coating, in particular of plastic material, by overmolding, defining in the vicinity of the external surface of each of the lateral wings constituting the shunt in W, projections capable of inducing the withdrawal of said wings out of contact with metal plugs or tabs during the insertion or connection of the male connector in the female connector, by action of said female connector on the central tip of said W, inducing descends or translates the entire shunt in a direction opposite to the direction of connection of the male connector within the female connector.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation in summary perspective of the male electrical connector according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a sectional representation of said male electrical connector in a slightly more advanced version.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic perspective representation of one of the male electrical plugs or tabs of said male connector.
  • the connector (1) comprises two electrically conductive elements, respectively (4, 6) and (5, 7). These elements are for example made of copper and extend parallel to each other beyond the connector itself, in order to be able to plug into a female connector, comprising corresponding terminals or sockets provided for this purpose.
  • These conductive elements or plugs (4, 5) are covered at their base (6, 7) with an insulating plastic material and this by overmolding, this material being for example polyamide 6.6 or phenylene polysulfide, these materials being in no way limiting.
  • a shunt (8) made of an electrically conductive material, in particular in the form of a metal strip with spring effect, is put in place by simple insertion as can be seen on Figures 1 and 2.
  • This shunt (8) has a general shape in W, and is defined by two lateral wings (10,11) and a central tip (9), extending widely beyond the free end said side wings (10) and (11).
  • said lateral wings (10) and (11) have a spring effect, inducing their spacing with respect to the central tip (9), so that in the absence of any constraint, the dimension of the shunt (8 ) is chosen so that the lateral wings (10) and (11) come into contact with the base (6,7) of the conductive plugs (4) and (5), as can be seen on the figure 2.
  • the free ends of the lateral wings (10) and (11) of the shunt (8) are bent (12,13) one towards the other, so as to form a support zone, in order to cooperate with a respective shoulder (14,15) formed within said bases (6) and (7) of the conductive plugs (4) and (5), so as to avoid any withdrawal of the shunt (8) from the male connector.
  • the overmolding performed on said conductive elements (4,5,6,7) is carried out so as to, on the one hand, provide a free space (17) and (18) under the lower zones of the shunt (20) and (21), and on the other hand, confer such an inclination, in abutment with said lateral wings (10) and (11), so that during the translation of the shunt (8) in the direction indicated by the arrow F, said lateral wings (10) and (11) move away from the electrical conductors (6) and (7), in order to neutralize the effect of shunt or short-circuit.
  • the intermediate level A can be omitted. To do this, it suffices to increase the length of the tip (9) relative to the lateral wings (10) and (11), so that it ends at level 0 , that is to say at same plane as the free end of the conductive tabs or plugs (4) and (5).
  • the shunt (8) when the male connector is disconnected from the female connector, the shunt (8), by its elastic return effect, returns to its initial place and rises until the ends (12) and (13) lateral wings (10) and (11) abut against the shoulders (14) and (15) of the bases (6) and (7) of the conductive plugs (4) and (5). Its short circuit function is then reactivated. This therefore results in a reversible short-circuit shunt.
  • the shunt can easily be retracted if the need is not necessary.
  • the connector thus produced allows, while having a possible short circuit, to generate only a very small footprint, particularly suitable for electronics and microelectronics or the automotive industry in particular.
