Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical connector, such as a motorized vehicle connector, and also to a connector assembly comprising such an electrical connector.
- Motorized vehicles comprise electrical circuits for powering motors, light bulbs, electronic devices, etc. These electrical circuits include electrical cables and connectors.
- Such connectors may include a front plate or grid movable between a preassembly position, for protecting male terminals, and a closed position, allowing the coupling of the male terminals with corresponding female terminals provided on a complementary or counterpart connector.
- Front plate of this type are used to protect the male terminals, which are formed as thin projecting pins, when the electrical connector is not coupled with a complementary electrical.
- thin projecting pins it is meant pins having for example a diameter smaller than 1,5 mm.
- the front plate In the preassembly position, the front plate is located near the front end of the electric male terminals, protects them and prevents them from being deformed or damaged when they are not inserted in respective female terminals, or when the connector and its counterpart are being plugged in together.
- the front plate When the connector is coupled with a complementary connector, the front plate is moved to a closed position against the front face of the housing of the connector so that the male terminals engage the respective female terminals of the complementary connector.
- WO 2007/042534 discloses a connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the present invention relates to an electrical connector according to claim 1.
- the protection and the centering of the terminals are both carried out by a single element, i.e. the front plate, cooperating with the housing.
- the front plate is movable relative to the housing in a plane parallel to the front face of said housing, which enable to correctly position the male terminals relative to corresponding female terminals.
- the dimensioning tolerances of the connectors may therefore be enlarged and the terminals may be shaped as desired without worrying about the centering problem.
- the present invention may also other optional features, considered either independently or in combination, of the electrical connector corresponding to claims 2 to 10 and the connector assembly corresponding to claims 11 to 13.
- the terms “front”, “rear”, “frontward”, “rearward” are defined relative to an assembly direction A represented by an arrow in Figures 1 , 3 and 4 .
- the assembly direction A is the direction in which the electrical connector is coupled with a complementary connector, as it will be described later.
- the connector assembly 1 comprises an electrical connector 2 for carrying male terminals 4 and a complementary electrical connector 6 for carrying female terminals (not shown).
- the electrical connector 2 comprises mainly a housing 8 for receiving and maintaining male terminals 4 and a front plate 34 or grid, the function of which is further explained below.
- the complementary connector 6 comprises a housing 48 and a casing 60.
- the housing 8 comprises a plurality of longitudinal cavities 10 having respective axes parallel to the assembly direction A and for receiving respective male terminals 4, as shown on Figures 3 and 4 .
- Each cavity 10 comprises a front opening 12 provided in the front face 14 of the housing 8 for the passage of the front end 16 of respective male terminals 4.
- the front end 16 of a male terminal is connected to an electrical cable 18 inserted in a cavity 10 through a rear opening of said cavity.
- the male terminals 4 are maintained in the respective cavities 10 by primary retaining means cooperating with a retaining seat 20 provided on each terminal 4.
- the primary retaining means comprise, for each terminal 4, a first and a second elastic lances 22 and 24 projecting on opposite walls of a cavity 10 towards the center of said cavity and in direction A towards the front opening 12.
- the surface of each lance 22 and 24 has a tooth 26 which clicks inside the retaining seat 20 of the terminal 4.
- the tooth 26 has a profile designed for allowing the insertion of the terminal 4 past the lances 22 and 24 in the assembly direction A and for preventing the withdrawal of said terminal 4 in the opposite direction.
- each tooth 26 comprises a rear face 28 having a smooth slope and a front face 30 defining a stop preventing the withdrawal of the terminal 4.
- a gap 32 is provided between each lance 22, 24 and the respective wall of the cavity 10 from which the lance 22, 24 projects.
- This gap 32 allows the lances 22, 24 to elastically deform towards the wall from which each lance projects during the insertion of the terminal 4.
- the lance shape is then restored toward a position in which it is less (or not) stressed and deformed.
- the terminal 4 is then retained inside the cavity 10. It is to be noted that when the terminal 4 is not fully or incorrectly inserted in the cavity 10, the lances 22, 24 remain deformed and project inside the gaps 32.
- the terminal 4 is then retained inside the cavity 10.
- the front plate 34 is mounted on the front face 14 of the housing 8.
- the front plate 34 comprises a plurality of apertures 36 facing the front openings 12 of the cavities 10 and allowing the passage of the front ends 16 of the terminals 4.
- the front plate 34 is arranged to protect the front ends 16 of the terminals 4 when the connector 2 is not coupled with a complementary connector 6 and during the plugging of the connector 2 and its counterpart or complementary connector 6. To this end, the front plate 34 is movable between a preassembly position, shown in Figures 3 and 4 , for protecting the terminals 4, and a closed position (not shown), permitting the mating of the male terminals 4 with the corresponding female terminals carried by the complementary connector 6. In the preassembly position, the apertures 36 surround the front extremity of the front ends 16 of the terminals 4, and, in the closed position, the front plate 34 is placed against the front face 14 of the housing 8 and the front ends 16 of the terminals project frontward from said plate 34.
- said front plate comprises guiding means provided on the rear face of the front plate 34.
- the guiding means are for example formed by two tabs 37 per aperture 36, said tabs 37 defining a substantially funnel-shape under and around each aperture 36, as shown in Figure 4 . Therefore, when the front extremity of a terminal 4 meets a tab 37, the later guides said front extremity towards the corresponding aperture 36.
- a slight clearance is provided between the front ends 16 of the terminals 4 and the apertures 36 of the front plate 34 in order to enable movement of said front plate 34 relative to the terminals 4 between the preassembly position and the closed position.
- This clearance is small enough for allowing the front plate 34 to drag the male terminal when it moves parallel to plane P, so that the guidance of the male terminals by the front plate is optimized.
- the front plate 34 and the housing 8 comprise releasable mutual fixing means.
- These mutual fixing means comprise locking rods 38 extending frontward from the front face 14 of the housing 8.
- the housing 8 comprises for example four locking rods 38, each one of which being provided at a corner of the front face 14.
- each locking rod 38 comprises a fork made of two teeth 40. These teeth cooperate respectively with the front face and rear face of the front plate 34 around the opening 42 for interlocking with the front plate 34 and maintaining the front plate 34 in the preassembly position.
- Such mutual fixing means are for example described in FR-2 778 502 .
- the openings 42 are dimensioned so that a clearance 44 is provided between the locking rods 38 and the corresponding openings when the front plate 34 is maintained in the preassembly position.
- the clearance 44 is designed so that the front plate 34 is movable in a plane P parallel to the front face 14, i.e. a plane perpendicular to the assembly direction A.
- the front plate 34 is movable both in a direction according to the length of said plate and in a direction according the width of said plate. Therefore, in the preassembly position, the front ends 16 of the terminals 4, which are located in the apertures 36, follow the movements of the front plate 34.
- the front plate 34 further comprises means for maintaining the position of the front plate 34 relative to the complementary connector 6 in the plane P while plugging the connector 2 with a complementary connector 6. These means also enable the repositioning of the front plate 34 in its preassembly position when the connectors 2 and 6 are unplugged in. As shown in Figure 1 , these means comprise at least an anchoring device 46 and at least an abutment projection provided on a wall of the housing 48 for receiving the anchoring device 46. The anchoring device 46 penetrates in the housing 48 during the coupling of the connector 2 with the complementary connector 6 and prevents the movement of the front plate 34 relative to the complementary connector 6.
- the anchoring device 46 comprises an arm 50 extending frontward from the front plate 34.
- the arm is for example disposed on a side of the front plate 34 near a corner thereof.
- the arm 50 comprises an elastic branch 52 and a rigid branch 54 linked together as shown in Figure 3 .
- Figures 5A and 5B illustrate an example of arm 50 and the way the arm 50 engages the housing 48.
- the front plate 34 and the housing 8 are brought closer to the complementary connector 6, here a female connector, comprising the housing 48 and the casing 60.
- the front plate 34 remains floating but maintained by the locking rods 38 on the housing 8 while the connector and its counterpart or complementary connector are brought closer. Parts of the connector and its counterpart connector may help to guide them during this first approach step.
- the connector and its counterpart connector are close enough so that at least one arm 50 can interact with at least one notch 58 provided on the housing 48.
- the chamfered end 59 of the arm 50 is guided into the notch 58 as shown on Figure 5A .
- the four arms 50 help to self-center the front plate 34.
- the male and female terminals are still not interacting with each other and the front plate 34 is still floating with regard to the housing 8, but the front plate begins to be referenced with regard to the housing 48 and consequently with regard to the female terminals.
- Each elastic branch 52 further comprises at least one tooth 56 and each notch 58 comprises at one the abutment projections 49.
- the housing 48 is provided with the casing 60 of the complementary connector 6.
- the housing is for example a locking plate 62 as shown in Figure 1 .
- a locking plate 62 is known from the man of the art and is movable between a preassembly position and a closed position and is arranged to determine correct engagement of the female terminals in the complementary connector 6 and prevent release of said female terminals from the complementary connector 6 when the terminals are correctly engaged therein.
- Such a locking plate 62 further prevents the coupling of the complementary connector 6 with a connector 2 if the locking plate 62 is not in the closed position.
- Such a locking plate 62 being known, it will not be further described here.
- the arms 50 clicks into the notches 58 when the protrusions or tooth 56 of the anchoring devices 46 pass behind the abutment projections 49 of the housing 48. Indeed, each protrusion 56 is elastically pushed behind the projection 49 thanks to the elastic branch 52.
- the front plate 34 is then secured to the housing 48 and is no longer floating with regard neither to the housing 8 of the connector 2 or the housing 48 of the complementary connector 6. At this stage the front ends 16 are in alignment with the apertures 17 of the locking plate 62, in a waiting position, in which the front ends 16 does not mate the female terminals, but the connector 2 and the complementary connector 6 are locked together.
- the male terminals 4 follow the movement of the front plate 34. They are then precisely centered relative to the corresponding female terminals because the front plate 34 is centered and maintained relative to the complementary connector 6. At this stage the front plate 34 and the locking plate 62 are located face to face, close to each other. The male terminals are therefore easily and correctly positioned relative to the corresponding female terminals.
- the locking rods are actuated by a locking device (not shown) so as to make the front plate 34 free to come closer to the housing 8. Then the connector 2 and the complementary connector 6 can be further plugged in. While the connector 2 and the complementary connector 6 are further brought together, the male and female terminals are guided by the front plate 34 in the apertures 17 and can mate without any risk of damages.
- the elastic branch 52 pushes the rigid branch 54 in abutment against an edge of the notch 58 so that the front plate 34 is firmly maintained relative to the complementary connector 6 in order to prevent relative movement of the front plate 34 relative to the complementary connector 6 in the plane P.
- the abutment projection 49 has a smooth slope, enabling the passage of the tooth 56 during the insertion of the arm 50 in the notch 58, and an abutment surface resisting to the passage of the tooth 56 during the withdrawal of the arm 50 from said housing 48.
- the above described connector 2 and connection device 1 are particularly simple to produce and to use, the protection of the terminals and the centering of said terminals being both carried out by a single element, i.e. the front plate 34.
- the connector is less fragile and easy to handle.
