Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly adapted to receive a wire or wire pin and establish a solderless or weldless electrical connection between the wire or pin and an electrical contact.
  • -A form of connector assembly for wires or pins comprises an insulating housing having an open-ended cavity to one wall of which is rigidly secured one end of an electrical contact arranged to extend transversely of the cavity towards the opposite wall.
  • a wire or wire pin is secured in the cavity by passing the wire or pin between the free end of the contact and the adjacent cavity wall, the contact being sufliciently resilient to permit the wire or pin to pass.
  • the wire or pin is held against extraction from the cavity by the resilience of the contact urging the wire or pin against the cavity wall.
  • the contact is made stiffiy resilient so that a high contact force is applied to the wire or pin.
  • a high contact force means that a high force will have to be applied to the wire or pin to insert it into the cavity and this is a disadvantage.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an electrical connector having camming means in a passageway of housing means and on an electrical contact in the passageway to cam the electrical contact into tighter engagement with a contact element in electrical engagement with the electrical contact upon movement of the electrical contact toward the entrance of the passageway.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision of commoning the electrical contacts in the passageways of the housing means.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide means for releasably mounting the housing in a supporting rail.
  • an electrical connector assembly comprises an insulating block formed with a cavity opening into a face thereof, an electrical contact element having a part extending towards the cavity opening retained in the cavity but movable therein towards and away from the cavity opening and a camming projection on a Wall of the cavity to engage the contact part on movement of the contact towards the cavity opening and urge the contact part towards the opposite wall of the cavity.
  • FIGURE 1 is an end elevational view of an embodiment of a connector assembly according to the invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a side elevational view of part of the connector assembly of FIGURE 1;

  • Two blocks 1 are shown (see FIGURE 2) secured side-'by-side in a channel-shaped mounting rail 4 by means of slots 5 which receive inwardly turned ends 6, 6a of the rail 4 in snap-in engagement, this will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
  • the blocks 1 have an open side 7 and a closed side 8, the closed side 8 of one block 1 covering the open side 7 of the adjacent block 1.
  • An opening 9 extends from a face of the block 1 into each cavity 2, where a shoulder 10 is formed.
  • Camming projections 11 extend inwardly of the cavity from opposite walls 12.
  • the cavities 2 are arranged in two parallel end-to-end pairs, the cavities 2 of each pair being in communication through a channel 13 and each pair of cavities 2 being in communication through a channel 14 connecting the channels 13.
  • the contact element 3 formed from a resilient metal strip is located in each cavity 2.
  • the contact element 3 - is of generally U-shape, comprising a pair of arms 17, 18 joined by an integral Web 19 in which an aperture 20 is formed.
  • the arms, 17, 18 each have a curved portion 21, the curved portions 21 being directed inwardly toward each other and free end port-ions 22.
  • a longitudinally extending depression 23 is formed in each arm 17, 18 at the curved portion 21, the open sides of the depressions 23 facing each other to define a guideway.
  • the depressions 23 also act to increase the rigidity of the arms 17, 18 adjacent the curved portions 21.
  • the contact elements 3 are inserted in their respective cavities 2 through the open side 7 of the block 1 and are located so that the projections 12 extend into the curved portions 21 of the arms 17, 18.
  • the contact elements 3 are free to move towards and away from the openings 9 but are restrained from passing through them by engagement of the webs 19 with the shoulders 10.
  • a connector strip 16, secured to the arm 18 of each of the four contact elements 3, is seated in the channel 14.
  • a wire pin 24 having a ferrule portion 25 crimped to the bared end of an electric wire (not shown) and a contact portion 26 is inserted into the cavity 2 through the opening 9.
  • the contact portion 26 passes through the aperture 20 in the web 13 of the contact element 3 and between the curved portions 21, the depressions 23 guiding and keeping the conatct portion 26 centrally between the arms 17, 18.
  • the resilience of the material of the arms 17, 18 holds the curved portions 21 firmly in contact with the contact portion 26 to establish good electrical contact.
  • Blocks 30 of electrically insulating material open on both sides 31, 32 have pins 33 on side 31 and complementary recesses 34 in the side 32 to enable the blocks 30 to be secured together to form a unit as shown in FIGURE 3.
  • the pins 33 and recesses 34 may be arranged so that they polarize the blocks 30 with respect to each other.
  • a cover plate '35 having apertures 36 to receive the pins 33 closes the open side of one end block 30 and a similar cover plate (not shown) having pins to fit in the recesses 34 closes the open end of the other end block 30.
  • Each block has three parallel arranged cavities 2 each communicating by means of an opening 9 with one face of the block 30.
  • the cavities 2 are each formed with shoulders and projections 11 on opposite walls 12.
  • a contact element 37 for the cavities 2 of the blocks is substantially the same as the contact element 2 but has a curved extension 38 forming a continuation of the free end portion 22 of one of the arms 17, 18.
  • the extension 38 engages the adjacent wall 12 of the cavity 2 tangentially and extends to meet the opposite wall 12 at the junction of the wall 12 with an end wall 19 of the cavity 2.
  • the extension 3-8 acts to urge the contact element 37 towards the opening 9 bringing the arms 17, 18 into engagement with the camming projections 11 which urge the arms 17, 18 towards each other thereby increasing the contact force on a wire or wire pin 24 inserted between the arms 17, 18.
  • the contact elements 37 are joined together by webs 40 to form a strip of contact elements as shown in FIG- URE 5.
  • each strip is inserted into a selected cavity 2 of a block 30.
  • Further blocks 30- with cavities 2 thereof in communication are then successively passed along the strips until each contact element 37 is located in the selected cavity 2 of an appropriate block, the blocks 30 being secured together by engaging the pins 33 of one block in the recesses 34 of the adjacent block.
  • the contact elements 37 forming any one row need not all be connected by webs 40, the row may be made up from two or more individual strips.
  • a block 30 having a side closed over at least the extent of the appropriate cavity is used as the succeeding block.
  • the succeeding block 30 is formed with a closed side to cover all three cavities of the preceding block 30.
  • a block 30 having a closed side may be used to form the first block of a unit.
  • All the blocks 30 may have slots 5 to receive the ends 6 of a mounting rail 4, or, as shown in FIGURE 4, the slots 5 may be omitted from some of the blocks 30, the blocks 30 without slots 5 being held to the rail 4 by engagement with blocks 30- with slots.
  • FIGURES 6 and 7 illustrate in detail the mounting concept and block 1 of FIGURES l and 2 will be relied on for purposes of illustration.
  • a lower edge of the block is stepped by a downward projection 42 presenting a shoulder 43 arranged to engage a lower end 6 of the channel 4 while an upper shoulder 45 of the block engages the upper end 6a of the channel.
  • a pair of legs 47, 48 project downwardly from the block 1 spaced apart by the width of the open mouth of the channel.
  • One leg 47 is adjacent the projection 42 and a short slot 5 extends between the shoulder 43 and leg 47 to increase the effective length of the leg 47.
  • Lower surfaces of the block 1 are tapered upwardly and outwardly from shoulders 43 and 45 to provide access to the edges of the rail for a lever for removing the blocks.
  • the legs 47 and 48 are provided on their remote sides with detents 49, 50 positioned to engage ends 6, 6a of the channel between them and the associated shoulders 43, 45, lower sides of the detents 49, 50 tapering downwards and inwards to faciiltate insertion into the channel by camming action.
  • leg 47, below detent 49 is inclined downwards and inwards at 51 to the base of the channel where it is integrally joined to strut 52 which registers against the channel base.
  • the leg 48 extends downwardly from the detent 50 in slightly outwardly inclined manner at 53 and opposite detent 49 is inclined inwards at 54 towards the channel base where it is integrally joined to the strut 52.
  • the strut 52 and legs 47, 48 are so dimensioned relative to the channel that in the position shown, the relaxed position of the strut 52 would be lower than the channel base and to this end the relaxed dimension between the shoulder of detent 49 and the adjacent end of the strut 52 in the direction of the channel depth is larger than the space between end 6 and the channel base.
  • the detent 49 is hooked under end 6 and the block 1 is rotated about the end 6 clockwise to engage strut 52 against base of the channel. Further movement flexes leg portion 51 and simultaneously a camming action of end 601 on the lower side of detent 50 moves the block leftwards to deflect leg portion 48.
  • the legs are deflected towards each other, between the strut and the block, to permit passage of the detents past edges of the opening to the rail section until the strut abuts the base of the rail section, which serves to straighten the strut and urge the detents outwards.
  • the detents Once the detents have penetrated below edges of the rail they snap outwards under the resilient action of the legs which is substantially stiffened by the action of the strut. As a result the detents engage tightly beneath To remove a block and overcome the retention forces,
  • a lever 55 to the right in FIGURE 7 such as a screwdriver blade, is inserted below shoulder 45 and rotated counterclockwise to effect deflection of legs 47 and 48 towards each other to clear one of the detents with its shoulder from the edge of the rail.
