Definitions

  • This invention relates to connectors for use with flat ribbon cables which include a large number of spaced apart, parallel conductive wires retained within a flexible insulative sheath.
  • Flat ribbon cables are used extensively in the wiring of printed and other intricate electrical and electronic circuits. Such cables greatly simplify the interconnection of circuits in electrical processes employing a multitude of independent signal lines. In addition, by grounding alternate wires in each cable, electrical interference or cross talk between adjacent signal lines can be greatly diminished.
  • Various types of connectors have been devised for electrically terminating ribbon cables. Typically, such connectors include a dielectric housing retaining a plurality of slotted terminals. The housing accommodates one end of a cable and individual connector wires therein are received by the slotted terminals which in turn engage conductive elements in a mating electrical header. Examples of such flat ribbon cable connectors are disclosed in U.S. Patents Nos. 3,768,067; 4,076,365; 4,094,566 and in French Patent No. 2,361,759.
  • the object of this invention is to provide an electrical connector that improves signal density by uniquely terminating a pair of multi-wire ribbon cables.
  • the invention is concerned with an electrical connector composed of a dielectric housing that defines an internal cavity, cable openings for receiving the ends of a pair of flat ribbon cables with alternate ground and signal wires, and conductor openings for receiving conductor elements to be connected to the conductive wires in the flat cables.
  • Located in the cavity is a first grounding bus for electrically connecting together the alternate ground wires in one of the cables and a second grounding bus for electrically connecting together the alternate ground wires in the other cable.
  • Also retained within the cavity are a plurality of electrically isolated coupling elements each operative to electrically connect one of the conductor elements with a different one of the alternate signal wires in the two cables.
  • a ground output means connects the first and second grounding busses to at least one conductor element so as to connect all of the ground wires to a circuit common outside the connector.
  • the first and second busses are connected together within the cavity so as to permit commoning of both busses via a single conductor element.
  • the dielectric housing comprises a pair of identical mating parts separated by'a divider that divides the cavity into first and second cavity portions that each receive one of the individual flat cables that enter one end of the housing in a longitudinally parallel relationship.
  • the conductor elements enter conductor openings in the opposite end of the housing and connect with the coupling elements which are arranged in rows extending transversely to the cables.
  • the coupling elements in the first cavity portion are positioned to connect with the alternate signal wires in one of the cables and the coupling elements in the second cavity portion are positioned to connect with the alternate signal wires in the other cable.
  • a row of ground contacts extending parallel to the row of coupling elements therein and longitudinally spaced therefrom.
  • both the coupling elements and the ground contacts include piercing portions that penetrate the insulative sheath on the cables so as to make electrical contact with the conductive wires embedded therein.
  • Such a connector may also include a stress relief mechanism that will accommodate different gauged flat ribbon cable.
  • the stress relief mechanism comprises elongated rods located within the cavity adjacent the cable openings so as to forcibly engage the received cables along contact lines extending transversely to the retained conductor wires.
  • a body portion 16 that forms one half of a connector housing.
  • the body 16 includes side walls 17 with upper surfaces 18, a bottom wall 19 and an end wall 20 that define an open-sided cavity 21.
  • An opposite end wall 22 is recessed to form an opening 23 for receiving an end of a flat ribbon cable.
  • the cavity 21 also accommodates contacts that connect to the individual conductive wires in the cable.
  • a pair of projections 24 Extending out of one of the surfaces 18 are a pair of projections 24 having re-entrant latch surfaces 25.
  • a pair of openings 26 are formed in the opposite side wall 17 and each includes a projecting catch 27.
  • the projections 24 of one body portion 16 are forced into the openings 26 of an identical body portion 16.
  • the projections 24 are sprung outwardly by engagement with the catches 27 and after passing therebeyond spring back inwardly producing engagement between the latching surfaces 25 and the undersurfaces 28 of the catches 27.
  • a pair of identical body portions 1 6 are latched together to form a composite connector housing. Proper alignment between mating halves is enhanced by engagement between a pin 29 on one body portion and an accommodating cavity 30 on the other.
  • Figs. 2 to 4 there is shown in greater detail the body portion 16 illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • a rod 32 (Fig. 13) made of a suitable rigid material such as steel.
  • an upper surface 33 of the rod 32 forcibly engages so as to provide stress relief to a received flat cable upon assembly of a complete connector.
  • a plurality of conically shaped conductor openings 35 for accommodating entry into the cavity 21 of conductor pins in a compatible circuit board header (not shown).
  • the inner and smaller ends of the conductor openings 35 communicate with contact chambers 36 formed in the cavity 21 by parallel, spaced apart isolating walls 37 extending out of the bottom wall 19.
  • a plurality of auxiliary chambers 38 slightly offset from the chambers 36 are formed by spaced apart recesses in the bottom wall 19.
  • Each adjacent pair of chambers 36 and 38 forms a composite chamber that receives a coupling contact as described more fully hereinafter.
  • a stud 41 extends out of the bottom wall 19 in each of the auxiliary chambers 38.
  • a recess extending transversely to the isolating walls 37 forms another chamber 43 for receiving a grounding bus in a manner described below.
  • a plurality of studs 44 for securing the grounding bus in place.
  • the step 40 separates that portion of the housing 16 defining the chambers 36 and the remainder of the housing. For this reason one portion of the housing 16 has a narrow profile that is compatible with conventional connector headers while the remainder of the housing 16 has a wider profile that facilitates its use in a composite connector that accepts a pair of flat ribbon cables as described hereinafter.
  • Figs. 5 to 7 illustrate a coupling element 46 used in the connector body 16 shown in Figs. 1 to 4.
  • the coupling element 46 comprises a rear portion 47 formed by spring contacts 48 adapted to receive a conductor pin and a forward portion 49 including an upright signal contact 51 having edges 52 adapted to pierce the insulative sheath of a cable and contact a conductive wire retained therein.
  • Formed in a flat base 54 of the front portion 49 is a retainer hole 55 that receives the stud 41 shown in Figs. 2 and 4.
  • the rear and front portions 48 and 49 of the coupling element are joined by a vertically oriented segment 53.
  • Figs. 8 to 10 are views illustrating a grounding bus 57 used in the connector body 16 shown in Figs. 1 to 4.
  • the bus 57 comprises an elongated flat base 58 with a plurality of retaining holes 56 that receive the studs 44 shown in Figs. 2 and 4. Extending from one edge of the base 58 are a plurality of equally spaced apart ground contacts 59. Prior to insertion in the body 16, the contacts 59 are bent vertically to the base as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 10.
  • Each of the ground contacts 59 has upper terminal portions 61 adapted to pierce the insulative sheath on flat ribbon cable and engage the conductive wires retained therein.
  • a plurality of equally spaced apart ground output contacts 62 extend from the opposite edge of the base 58 in locations between each pair of the ground contacts 59.
  • the ground output contacts 62 are also bent vertically and include upper terminal portions 63 adapted to pierce a flat cable.
  • one of the ground output contacts 62 is selected to provide an external ground connection. All non-elected ground output contacts 62 are then rendered ineffective, preferably by being sheared from the base 58. To facilitate this operation the base 58 is provided with notches 60 between each pair of the ground output contacts 62.
  • FIG. 11 there is partially depicted the connector body 16 after mounting of coupling elements 46 (Figs. 5 to 7) and the grounding bus 57 (Figs. 8 to 10) within the cavity 21.
  • the rear portion 47 of each coupling element 46 (Fig. 5) is received in a chamber 36 (Fig. 2) while the front portion 49 thereof is received by an adjacent chamber 38.
  • the difference in height between the chambers 36 and 38 is accommodated by the vertical segments 53 (Fig. 6) that join the front and rear portions of the elements 46.
  • Securing the mounted elements 46 in position are the studs 41 (Fig. 2) which are received by the openings 55 in the bases 54 of all elements.
  • the base 58 of the grounding bus 57 (Fig. 8) is mounted in the chamber 43 (Fig.
  • ground contacts 59 on the grounding bus 58 and the signal contacts 51 on the coupling elements 46 are uniformly shifted with respect to each other along the length of the bus base 58 such that each ground contact 59 is directly between a spaced apart pair of adjacent signal contacts 51.
  • the preselected ground output contact 62 that was not removed from the grounding bus bars 58 is directly aligned with the first signal contact 51 a in a direction transverse to the base 58 of the grounding bus 57. It will be noted that any of the removed ground contacts 62 (Fig. 8) would have been similarly aligned with a signal contact 51 had it not been removed from the bus 57.
  • a flat ribbon cable 71 is received by the cavity 21 in the body portion 16.
  • the cable 71 is formed of a suitable electrical insulation material that encapsulates a plurality of longitudinally parallel conductive wires 72.
  • the components within the body portion 16 are positioned such that one set of alternating wires 72 in the cable 71 aligns with the signal contacts 51 while the other alternate wires 73 align with the ground contacts 61.
  • the cable 71 is forced against the contacts 51 and 59 causing the contact edges 52 and 61 (Figs. 7, 8) to pierce the insulative sheath on the cable and electrically engage the conductive wires embedded therein.
  • each of the signal wires 72 will be electrically connected to a different one of the signal contacts 51 and each of the ground wires 73 will be connected to a different one of the ground contacts 59.
  • the end signal wire 71 a will make electrical contact with both the preselected ground output contact 62 and the signal contact 51 a thereby connecting that contact to the base 58 of the grounding bus 57.
  • Each of a plurality of conductor pins 74 on a mating header (not shown) will be connected by one of the coupling elements 46 to a different one of the signal wires 72 which would be used to transmit signals.
  • a conductor pin 74a would connect an external common to all of the ground wires 73 via grounding bus 57, the grounding contacts 59, the selected ground output contact 62, the end signal wire 72a and the first signal contact 51 a.
  • Fig. 12 is a plan view of a divider part 77 used with a pair of the body portions 16.
  • the upper surface 78 of the divider 77 defines three rows of recesses 79a, 79b and 79c.
  • each of the recesses is positioned to receive the insulation piercing portions 52, 61, 63 of one of the contacts 51, 59 or 62.
  • the bottom surface of the divider 77 defines an identical set of recesses 79 as shown in Fig. 12. Extending from opposite edges of the divider 77 are shoulders 81 that are received by accommodating recesses 82 (Fig. 1) in the body portion 16.
  • Fig. 13 depicts a preferred form of complete connector 85 according to the invention.
  • the complete connector 85 includes a body portion 16a shown in section and a mating body portions 16b shown in elevation.
  • Each of the body portions 16a and 16b is identical to the body 16 shown in Figs. 1 to 4 and engagement between the body portions is along their open sides which are thereby closed.
  • the bodies 16a and 16b define a composite cavity that is separated into a first cavity portion 21 a within the body 16a and a second identical cavity portion within the body 16b by the divider part 77.
  • the divider recesses 79a are aligned with and receive the signal contacts 51
  • the recesses 79b are aligned with and receive the ground contacts 59
  • one of the recesses 79c is aligned with and receives the selected ground output contact 62.
  • the upper surface of the divider 77 is identical to the lower surface shown in Fig. 13 and similarly receives contacts in the body 16b. Entering openings in the connector 85 formed between the recessed end walls of the parts 16a and 16b and the divider part 77 is a pair of flat cables 71 a and 71 b.
  • the piercing portions 52, 61 and 63, respectively, of the signal contacts 51, the ground contacts 59 and the ground output contact 62 extend perpendicular to a planar region occupied by the cable 71 a.
  • the cable 71 a is pierced by the piercing portions in response to relative movement between the cable 71 a and the body portion 16a in a direction transverse to that planar region.
  • the end signal wire 72a contacts both the selected ground output contact 62 and the directly aligned first signal contact 51 a while the partially cutaway ground conductive wire 73 is electricaly connected to the ground contact 59.
  • the remaining wires in the cable 71 a are alternately connected to either ground contacts 59 or signal contacts 51 as described above.
  • Strain relief for the cable 71 a is provided by its forcible engagement between a transverse rib 86 on the divider 77 and the upper surface 33 of the transverse rod 32. Appropriate stress relief for cables of different gauge can be selected by merely selecting a rod 32 of suitable diameter. It will be appreciated that the cable 71 b is identically stress relieved and electrically interconnected within the body portion 16b by contact piercing portions (not shown) that are disposed vis-a-vis the piercing portions in the body portion 1 6a.
  • Figs. 14 to 16 are schematic views of a grounding element 91 for electrically connecting the grounding bus 57 in the body portion 16a to the identical grounding bus (not shown) in the body portion 16b.
  • the element 91 is a flat plate 92 formed with a suitable electrically conductive spring material. Slots 93 extend from opposite edges of and divide the plate 92 into a pair of bifurcated sections 94. The bifurcated sections are bent away from the plate 92 to form spring clips 95 having ends 96.
  • the plate 92 of the element 91 Prior to assembly of a complete connector, the plate 92 of the element 91 is press fitted into notches 97 (Fig. 2) framed in the side walls of the body portions 16. The arms 95 extend slightly into the cavities 21 and the ends 96 enter the chambers 43 (Fig. 2).
  • any of the coupling element 46 can be employed as a ground output terminal.
  • the grounding bus 57 is a flat conductive strip including an elongated base portions 58.
  • a plurality of spaced apart ground contacts 59 extend from one edge of the base 58 while a plurality of spaced ground output contacts 62 extend from the opposite edge thereof.
  • each of the ground output contacts 62 would be in alignment with one of the retained signal contacts 51.
  • the particular ground output contact that will be aligned with the signal contact 51 associated with the selected coupling element 46 is determined. All other output contacts 62 are then sheared from the base plate 58. For example, in the connector illustrated in Fig. 11 only the end ground output contact 62 remains effective and all other ground output contacts have been sheared along lines joining the slots 60 in the base portion 58. Thus, the end coupling element 51 a is connected to the bus 57 and serves as a ground output terminal. It will be obvious that a grounding bus providing a ground output to any of the other coupling elements 47 could be similarly formed by appropriate choice of a ground output contact 62 aligned therewith and similar removal of all other ground output contacts from the base plate 57.
