Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an electrical connector, more particularly, to an electrical connector for use in the data communications industry.
- There is a requirement to protect the equipment from which an open data link-line extends to prevent spurious and potentially damaging electrical signals being conveyed along the link-line to the equipment, as a result of misconnection or electrical strays.
- Accordingly, it has been proposed to shunt preselected terminals of an interface connector. A disadvantage of some prior proposals is that the shunting mechanism must be manually removed prior to mating of the connector to establish the data link.
- In addition, it is important that the resulting construction is simple and reliable in operation and adapted for manufacture by mass production techniques.
- In one prior proposal described in U.S. Patent 4,224,486, an electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a front, mating face and a rear, wire connecting face, a plurality of terminals mounted in the housing with wire connecting portions at the wire connecting face and contact portions at the mating face, and electrical shunt means mounted in the housing aligned with contact portions.
- Although the shunt means is disengaged by the action of mating the connector without manual intervention, a cam member must be provided on the housing of the mating connector to effect such disengagement. This requires additional space and contributes to an increase in the complexity, cost and size of the connector assembly.
- According to the invention, the contact portions are resiliently deformable from positions engaging the shunt means in an unmated condition of the connector to positions spaced from the shunt means in a mated condition of the connector by mating engagement with contact portions of a complimentary connector.
- Any need for manipulation of the shunt means prior to mating is thereby avoided without a need to increase the overall complexity of the assembly.
- Preferably, the shunt means comprises a one-piece shunt bar having a bridge portion extending transversely of the contact portions which are formed as tongues, a plurality of mutually spaced contact lugs extending transversely of the bridge portion towards respective preselected contact tongues for engagement therewith in an unmated condition of the connector.
- Accordingly, only, spaced preselected terminals need to be shunted, with intermediate terminals being bridged.
- More specifically, the contact lugs are asymmetrically located along the bridge portion, and an additional, similar, shunt bar located in tandem relation to and orientated at 180° with the first mentioned shunt bar, the arrangement being such that alternate contact tongues are aligned with respective contact lugs on respective shunt bars. This permits various combinations of contact tongues to be shunted.
- Coding means may be provided on the shunt bars to ensure that receipt of the shunt bars in the housing in only one predetermined orientation or combination of orientations is possible.
- Preferably, the contact tongues are reversely bent with rearwardly extending free ends aligned with the respective contact lugs.
- As the tongues pivot about the axis of their fold line during mating engagement, the displacement of the ends away from the contact lugs of the shunt bar is advantageously greater than the displacement of their contact portions.
- An example of a connector according to the invention, will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector with orthogonal cable lead out;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the connector with axial cable lead out;
- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the connector;
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4-4 of Figure 1 of a pair of similar connectors aligned for mating;
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the connector pair of Figure 4 after mating;
- Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view showing a terminal housing of the connector in greater detail;
- Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal housing taken along line 7-7 of Figure 3; and,
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of a bush for use with the connector.

lower cover parts 11 and 12, respectively, of insulating plastics material, upper and lower cableclamping ground shields housing 15 forterminals 16 and awire stuffer 17. Arear cap 18 is provided for attachment to the cover where axial cable lead out is not required. - As shown particularly in Figures 3 and 6, the upper and
lower cover parts 11 and 12 are each moulded in one piece of plastics material and comprise box-like constructions open at a front having respectively,base walls opposite side walls rear walls arms web hinges 29 and 30 (as shown particularly in Figure 5).Panel mounting ribs shoulders slot 36 in onearm 27 for receiving a T-bar 37 in theother arm 28 having, respectively, canted lead-insurfaces recess 41. A transverse shield-locatingrib 42 extends across the cover interior in parallel relation to a locatinglip 42 stepped back from the front end. - The
side walls 24 of thelower cover part 12 are also rebated towards a front end to provide a terminal having receivingrecess 44 and a pair of terminalhousing locating studs 45 upstand from the base wall adjacent the front end.Frangible portions 46 are provided in the side walls of both upper and lower cover parts to permit optional cable lead out directions. Cable receivingrecesses Cap 18 has a locatingboss 53 with aperipheral groove 54 receiving the lips of therecesses - The
upper shield 13 is stamped and formed from a single piece of sheet metal and comprises abase panel 61 from opposite sides of which dependflanges 62 havinglatching apertures 63 on each side of acable receiving recess 64. Abraid contacting tab 65 depends from a rear of the panel and a forwardly extendingportion 66 is stepped and extends to a bifurcated contact portion having contact tabs with enlarged, upturnedcontact surfaces 67 at their front ends. - The
lower shield 14 is also stamped and formed from one piece of sheet metal stock and comprisesflanges base panel 71, cable receiving apertures 73 and 74 being provided in such flange and being defined by inturnedcable gripping lips 75 on respective opposite sides of each aperture.Braid connecting tabs 76 are pushed out of the base panel adjacent each aperture.Latching detents 77 are provided on the flanges for receipt in thelatching apertures 63 where the upper shield is applied to the lower shield. A forwardly extending portion of the base panel is provided with a pair ofstud receiving apertures 78 and the front of the base panel is bifurcated and stepped to providecontact surfaces 79 for establishing electrical connection with thecontact surfaces 67 of the shield of a mating connector half, as shown in Figure 5. - The
terminal housing 15 is moulded in one piece of plastics material and comprises afoot 80 supporting aterminal platform 82 extending between forward, mating and rear, wire connecting faces of the housing. A series ofparallel channels 83 extend forwardly across the wire connecting platform at the wire connecting face defining between them undercutterminal supporting ribs 84.Parallel locking grooves 87 extend rearwardly in alignment with the ribs from the front of the platform.Side walls hood 91. The side walls have canted leadingedges 92 extending from locations adjacent theplatform 82 to locations adjacent the front end of the hood. Pairs of aligned downwardly extendingslots slots slots Slots ribs 84 in alignment with the respective slots in the side walls. - Adjacent the rear of the
housing 15, longitudinally extending portions of the side walls are formed with vertical locatingribs 99, 101 and laterally extendingside wall portions 90, 90' define forwardly facingmounting shoulders 105, 105' for abutment with the edges of a panel aperture. Vertically extendingguide channels - Each
terminal 16 is stamped and formed from a single piece of sheet metal stock and comprises an upstanding slotted wire-receivingbarrel portion 106 similar to that described in our U.S. Patent No. 3,860,318 connected by a neck to abody portion 107 from a front end of which extends a reverselybent contact tongue 108 formed with astep 109 at a free end. Alocking lance 110 is pushed out from the base and locking ears 111 upstand from respective opposite edges of the base. The terminals are assembled with the housing by insertion from the rear until their locking lances resile into thelocking slots 110 when side edges of the body portion will be located in the undercut areas under adjacent rear surfaces of the adjacent barrier walls, preventing further movement of the terminals in any direction. Thecontact tongues 108 will then be exposed at the mating face. -
Identical shunting bars apertures contact lugs Tabs shunting bars 113, 113' are located in respective alignedslots tabs 118, 118' are received in theshorter slots contact lugs - The
stuffer 17 is moulded in one piece of stiffly flexible plastics material with a series ofinternal partition walls 123 defining wire receiving passageways extending between outer and inner wiregripping lip pairs 121 and 124 to a cylindrical barrel receiving portion having a cylindrical wire engaging projection 125 similar to that described in our U.S. Patent No. 4,186,984. Vertical guidingribs 126 extend on respective opposite ends. - In assembling the connector, the
terminals 16 are inserted into thehousing 15 as described above and theshunting bars 113, 113' are then inserted into the slots to shunt desired alternate terminals. - A hinged
bush 127 is applied to a stripped shieldedcable 128 in whichshielding braid 129 has been reversely bent to extend rearwardly across a waisted supporting ferrule to clamp the braid and the individual insulated cable wires located in the stuffer passageways shown in Figure 3. The stuffer is then urged downwardly guided by the cooperation of theribs 126 and thegrooves - The lower ground shield may be heat staked or otherwise secured in the cover with the
studs 45 registering withinapertures 78. Theterminal housing 15 terminating the wires is then assembled with the lower ground shield, the exposed braid portion being urged between theresilient lips 75 supported by the ferrule to establish electrical contact with the cable shield and ground. Atab 76 also engages the braid. Theupper ground shield 13 is then applied to thehousing 15 with the contact surfaces inserted under thehood 91 on opposite sides of an axial rib and to the lower ground shield so that the latchingdetents 77 are received inapertures 63 when the tab 55 will also engage the cable (with axial lead out) or the lips of acable receiving recess 64. - The upper cover is then applied to the
terminal housing 15 and to the lower cover (with therear cap 18 omitted where axial lead out is desired) the locatingribs 99, 101 on the terminal housing cooperating with the grooved lugs 47. - On inserting the connector in a panel aperture, the
shoulders 33 of the mountingribs 31 snap behind the edges of the panel aperture on the other side of the panel preventing withdrawal while theshoulders 105, 105' abut the edges on the rear side preventing over insertion. An identical connector rotated through 180° is mated with the mounted connector by the T-bar being received in the T-slot providing a remarkably stable structure. On mating, thecontact tongues 108 of the two connectors interengage depressing the stepped ends 109 out of engagement with the contact lugs 116, 117 of the shunting bars and the contact surfaces 79 and 67 of respective connector shields engage so that the ground shields substantially completely surround the exposed wires and the contacts irrespective of cable lead out direction providing braid-to-braid shielding. - The connector assembly is relatively inexpensive to manufacture in relation to its versatility and reliability of operation providing both reliable electrical characteristics and mechanical mating and mounting characteristics.
