Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector system and a method to assemble the same, wherein the electrical connector system comprises a shielding sleeve for the continuous shielding of a conducting element, as e.g. a cable.
  • US document no. 5,237,129 proposes to use contact elements in form of toroidal spring elements to establish electrical contact between the shielding of a cable and the shielding of a connector housing the cable is mounted to.
  • These spring elements are positioned inside of a metallic housing at a dismantled portion of the cable in electrical contact with the cable shielding.
  • the springs Upon assembly the springs are compressed in axial direction such that they expand in the radial direction thereby pressing against the cable shielding on one side and the inner wall of the metallic housing on the other side.
  • an electric connection between the cable shielding and the metallic housing is established.
  • connection elements culminated in sophisticated spring elements as e.g. presented in the European publication EP 2 109 201 A2 .
  • This document discloses a new kind of spring element which can be mounted inside of a metallic housing establishing an electrical connection to the shielding of a cable within a dismantled portion of the cable.
  • This new spring element is constructed in a very sophisticated way offering a large range of possible diameters for the cable as well as a large range of possible inner diameters of the housing.
  • the above described parts are examples of common solutions providing an electrical connection between the shielding of a power cable to an outer connecting element as e.g. the shielding of a connector housing.
  • the solution proposed in document US 4,547,623 constitutes a complicated assembly consisting of many parts.
  • the connecting parts are inflexible metallic rings which have to be fabricated within small tolerances and are therefore only applicable within a special designated assembly.
  • Documents US 5,237,129 and EP 2 109 201 A2 propose to establish the required connection by using spring elements which are more flexible. However, such elements are complicated in fabrication and expensive. Further, all prior solutions require at least one extra part to electrically connect the cable shielding to an outer shielding element. These solutions are therefore relatively complicated in assembly and error-prone. For these reasons, the above described solutions are in particular not optimal for the use in mass production.
  • US application US 2013/084 741 A1 describes an electromagnetic shielding device for electromagnetic shielding of a power transmitting arrangement adapted to house an electromagnetically shielded conducting element.
  • the electromagnetic shielding device has essentially the form of a sleeve and further includes a weakened portion, which is adapted to be contracted for establishing an electrical connection between the device and the shielding of the conducting element.
  • a shielding device needs to be contracted in general by using specific tools, such as crimping tools.
  • Subject matter of the present invention is to provide a new electrical connector system with an electromagnetic shielding sleeve which minimizes or eliminates the problems described above. It is a further object of the invention to provide an electromagnetic shielding sleeve with increased contact force between the shielding sleeve and the electromagnetic shielding of the inserted shielded cable. Further, the new shielding sleeve shall be secured within the housing of an electrical connector system, so that unintentional displacement of the shielding sleeve during the insertion of further components, such as terminals or the like is prevented. Still further, it is an object of the invention to achieve all the advantages with an inexpensive product, which can preferably be made out of a single piece of sheet metal.
  • an electrical connector system comprising a connector housing having a shield cavity formed therein; at least one shielding sleeve, adapted to be installed at least partially within the shield cavity, wherein the shielding sleeve comprises at least one contact lance provided with a spring portion and a contact portion, wherein in an uninstalled state, the spring portion extends radially outward from the shielding sleeve and the contact portion extends radially inward into the shielding sleeve; and at least one wedge element, adapted to surround at least parts of the shielding sleeve and to bend the at least one contact lance inwardly when the wedge element is installed.
  • such electromagnetic shielding sleeves are needed particularly to allow for continuously shielding of complex assemblies.
  • the cables need to be connected to signal or power contacts, the cables have to be dismantled to allow for an electrical connection.
  • the dismantled cable core and usually the power and/or signal contact are not electromagnetically shielded and thus, a shielding "bridge" is required.
  • the new electromagnetic shielding sleeve is particularly adapted to continue the shielding of the cables in such a case where the cables are mounted in a connector assembly or the like.
  • the shielding sleeve is further preferably formed from a single metal sheet by stamping, embossing, punching or the like.
  • the therein formed contact lances having spring portions that extends radially outward from the shielding sleeve and contact portions that extend radially inward into the shielding sleeve, allow to contact a shield of an e.g. electrical cable inside the shielding sleeve.
  • the spring portions can be bent inwardly so that the contact portions are pressed against the possible shield of a cable. This pressing will increase the contact force between the shielding sleeve and the electromagnetic shielding of an e.g. shielded cable significantly.
  • the wedge element is therefore arranged so that it bends at least one contact lance inwardly.
  • the wedge element preferably comprises a rigid material, such as a rigid plastic that is dimensionally stable, when surrounding at least parts of the shielding sleeve and bending the contact lance inwardly. Further, the wedge element is preferably able to withstand temperatures of up to 130°C, preferably up to 200°C, more preferably up to 250°C.
  • An example material is polyamide which is preferably reinforced with glass fibers.
  • the electrical connector system comprises a shielded cable, wherein the shielded cable is preferably provided with a ferrule, electrically conductive connected with the shield of the shielded cable, wherein the shielded cable is at least partially arranged within the connector housing and wherein the at least one contact lance is bent inwardly so that the contact portion of the contact lance is pressed against the shield of the shielded cable and/or the ferrule, if the at least one wedge element is installed.
  • the wedge element is installed, when it at least partly surrounds the shielding sleeve and bends the at least one contact lance inwardly.
  • the wedge element is therefore at least partially arranged within the housing.
  • the contact force between the shield of the shielded cable and/or the ferrule and the contact portion of the contact lance is increased by pressing the contact portion against the shield of the shielded cable and/or the ferrule, so that the electrical conductive contact between the ferrule and the contact portion can be preserved up to a vibration level of at least 392.4 m / s 2 (40g) sinus, preferably of up to at least 490.5 m / s 2 (50g) sinus and most preferably up to at least 588.6 m / s 2 (60g) sinus.
  • vibration levels allow a safe contacting between the elements (i.e.
  • the vibration level can be determined according to PSA class V3 according to B217051, according RSA-Nissan 392.4 m / s 2 (40g) sinus power train whip profile acc 36-05-019, according to AK vibration profile severity 3 (LV214) and/or according to Volvo truck class 6 (121.6 m / s 2 (12.4g) RMS).
  • the shielding sleeve provides a secure shielding continuity even under harsh environments.
  • the at least one wedge element is arranged slidably on the shielded cable, wherein in the installed state, the at least one wedge element is preferably fixedly arranged, at least partially, within the connector housing.
  • the wedge element slidably on the shielded cable allows to pre-assemble the cable and the wedge element in advance. This is a typical requirement for the use in vehicles, since typically cable trees are pre-assembled, so that the plugging, mating or connecting of the electrical connector systems that correspond to the cable tree can be performed rapidly, and preferably manually without using specific tools.
  • the wedged element can be moved from an uninstalled state in the installed state by simply sliding it along the longitudinal axis of the shielded cable so that the wedge element is guided in the installed position.
  • the housing provides a cavity, for receiving further connector system components, such as terminals, cables, seals and/or the like.
  • the at least one wedge element is at least partially arranged within that cavity of the connector housing in the installed state.
  • the wedge element comprises at least one actuating means, wherein the at least one actuating means is adapted to contact the spring portion of the at least one contact lance and to bend the at least one contact lance inwardly when the wedge element is installed.
  • the contact lance has to be bent inwardly. This is preferably achieved by the actuating means.
  • one actuating means is sufficient to bend the at least one contact lance inwardly.
  • the actuating means of the wedge element is tubular.
  • Providing a tubular actuating means is advantageous, since the contact lances can be arranged in any suitable form around the shielding sleeve.
  • the actuating or bending of the contact lances can be performed with one single wedge element, so that different shielding sleeve can be assembled with one standardized wedge element.
  • different cable diameters can be continuously shielded with one shielding sleeve.
  • the shielding sleeve can be adapted to different cable diameters. Thus cables having different diameters can be shielded. Still further, using bendable contact lances, allows greater tolerances, so that manufacturing costs can be reduced.
  • the shielding sleeve comprises at least two contact lances, preferably at least four contact lances and most preferably at least six contact lances, wherein the wedge element comprises preferably a corresponding number of actuating means.
  • the wedge element comprises preferably a corresponding number of actuating means.
  • Providing several contact lances is advantageous, since the contact force is applied at different points, e.g. spread circumferential around the shielding and/or the ferrule of the cable. Further, a redundant contact can be achieved.
  • the contact lances circumferential around the shielding sleeve the cable can be centered within the shielding sleeve, due to the contact lances. Having a corresponding number of actuating means allows each contact lance to be actuated individually. However, it is also possible to actuate two or more contact lances with one actuating means.
  • the shielding sleeve further comprises at least one locking lance that preferably extends radially outward form the shielding sleeve and wherein the connector housing comprises at least one corresponding locking means, wherein the locking lance is adapted to engage with the locking means when the shielding sleeve is arranged within the shield cavity. Said engaging between the locking means and the locking lance of the shielding sleeve secures the shielding sleeve in the connector housing axially and/or radially.
  • the locking lances can protrude through the corresponding locking means and are preferably used to contact, for example, a housing, so that the shielding "bridge" is closed to provide a continuous shielding.
  • the connector housing comprises a terminal cavity, designed to receive at least one electrical terminal, and wherein the contact portion of the contact lance does not extend into the terminal cavity, before the at least one wedge element is installed to surround at least part of the shielding sleeve and to bend the at least one contact lance inwardly.
  • the terminal allows the electrical connection of the connector system to a corresponding counter connector.
  • a contact lance that does not extend into the terminal cavity reduces the risk of displacing the shielding sleeve during the insertion of the terminal.
  • the error rate during the assembly of the electrical connector system can be reduced.
  • the electrical connector housing further comprises at least one first guiding means for guiding the electrical terminal within the terminal cavity and preferably further comprises at least a second guiding means for guiding the shield of the shielded cable and/or the ferrule within the terminal cavity and even more preferably further comprises at least a third guiding means for guiding the wedge element within the connector housing.
  • these guiding means are formed as ribs that are orientated along the axial direction, wherein the axial direction is also the longitudinal direction of the terminal cavity. These guiding ribs help to guide the single components of the electrical connector system, i.e. the terminal, the shield of the cable and/or the ferrule and the wedge element to their final position in the installed state. Thus, the assembly of the connector system is facilitated.
  • the guiding means are formed as recesses that correspond to contours of the components of the electrical connector system.
  • the electrical connector system further comprises at least one cable stop, preferably comprising a strain relieve, wherein the cable stop is arranged adjacent to the at least one wedge element in longitudinal direction of the cable, to secure the at least one wedge element in longitudinal direction of the cable.
  • the cable is arranged slidably on the cable, it has to be secured in that axial direction in order to remain at that installed position. In this position, the wedge element bends the contact lances inwardly, to establish high contact forces between the shield and/or the ferrule and the contact portion of the contact lance. Securing the wedge element by means of a cable stop is advantageous, since different functions can be integrated in one part. Since cable stops and/or strain relieves are typically required, the number of parts can be reduced by integrating the securing functionality within the cable stop.
  • the wedge element is provided with a sealing member, which sealing member is preferably over-molded and arranged on the wedge element, preferably comprising at least two sealing lips, and wherein the sealing member seals the wedge element against the cable and against the connector housing so that the terminal cavity is sealed.
  • a sealed terminal cavity is a requirement for the electrical connector system to be used in vehicles or the like.
  • the connector system is protected from environmental influences, such as moisture, dust and other contaminants.
  • Providing a sealing member that is over-molded or arranged on the wedge element is advantageous, since multiple functions can be integrated into one part. Thus, the number of parts to be assembled can be reduced and the assembly of the connector system can be facilitated.
  • a method to assemble an electrical connector system comprising: providing a connector housing, wherein the connector housing has a shield cavity formed therein, providing at least one shielding sleeve, and installing the at least one shielding sleeve at least partially within the shield cavity, wherein the shielding sleeve comprises at least one contact lance provided with a spring portion and a contact portion, wherein in the uninstalled state the spring portion extends radially outward from the shielding sleeve and the contact portion extends radially inward into the shielding sleeve and providing at least one wedge element and installing the at least one wedge-element, preferably at least partially within the connector housing so that the at least one wedge element surrounds at least parts of the shielding sleeve and bends at least one contact lance inwardly.
  • Bending the at least one contact lance inwardly by means of the wedge element is advantageous, since the contact force of the contact between the shielding sleeve and the shield of the shielded cable or a ferrule can be increased. Further, the risk of displacing the shielding sleeve during the assembly of the connector system can be reduced.
  • the method to assemble an electrical connector system further comprises: providing a shielded cable, and preferably providing a ferrule on the shielded cable so that the ferrule is electrically conductive connected with the shield of the shielded cable and arranging the shielded cable at least partially within the connector housing, wherein the at least one contact lance is bent inwardly so that the contact portion of the contact lance is pressed against the shield of the shielded cable and/or the ferrule if the at least one wedge element is installed.
  • the contact between the contact portion of the contact lance and the shield of the cable and/or the ferrule allows shielding continuity of the electrical connector.
  • the ferrule is typically crimped onto the shield of the shielded cable, so that a defined surface is generated that can be contacted by the contact portion. This is in particular advantageous, if the shielded cable has a shield that comprises a mesh wire.
  • the method further comprises providing at least one cable stop and arranging the cable stop adjacent to the at least one wedge element in longitudinal direction of the cable, to secure the at least one wedge element in longitudinal direction of the cable; and preferably guiding the electrical terminal within the terminal cavity, using first guiding means provided within the connector housing so that the electrical terminal will not contact the shielding sleeve when it is arranged within the terminal cavity of the connector housing, before the at least one wedge element is installed to surround at least parts of the shielding sleeve and to bend the at least one contact lance inwardly. Avoiding a contact between the terminal and the contact lances is advantageous, since the shielding sleeve is less prone for unintentional displacement. Further, possible damages can be avoided. Therefore, the assembly method can be facilitated and is less error prone.
