Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing assembly for an electrical connector and to a connector assembly.
  • the invention further relates to a connector assembly that comprises a housing assembly according to the invention and a mating connector.
  • a connector position assurance element also known as CPA
  • CPA connector position assurance element
  • a housing assembly for an electrical connector comprising a housing having a receptacle for receiving at least parts of a mating connector, at least one connector positon assurance element (CPA) for securing the position of the mating connector in the receptacle, and at least one CPA-actuator that is operationally coupled to the CPA for driving the CPA from a locking position to a release position, wherein in the release position, the CPA is moved away from the receptacle in relation to the locking position, and wherein the at least one CPA is spring-biased into the locking position.
  • CPA connector positon assurance element
  • the CPA With the CPA-actuator, the CPA can easily be transferred from the locking position to the release position. Hence, removal of the mating connector from the receptacle is facilitated. Due to the CPA being spring-biased into the locking position, the safety of the connection between the housing assembly and the mating connector is increased. Due to the spring bias, the CPA may be moved automatically into the locking position when no external force is applied on the CPA-actuator.
  • At least one elastically deflectable spring member may be integrated in the CPA for generating the spring bias.
  • the CPA itself is configured as a spring member.
  • the CPA is preferably made from steel, in particular spring steel.
  • the CPA at least partially clasps the housing.
  • the CPA thereby preferably encompasses more than 180° of a cross-section of the housing, wherein said cross-section is viewed perpendicular to an axis of the receptacle.
  • the CPA may be captively connected to same. Furthermore, when the CPA encompasses or clasps the housing about more than 180°, it may interact with the mating connector at at least two positions, which may be arranged diametrically to each other across the receptacle.
  • the CPA and the CPA-actuator are combined unitarily with each other.
  • the CPA and the CPA-actuator preferably form a unit.
  • the unit comprising the CPA and the CPA-actuator is preferably captively connected to the housing. Due to this arrangement, the handling of the housing assembly may be facilitated since the loss of the CPA may be prevented. This is beneficial compared to housing assemblies where the CPA is a separate part.
  • the CPA is preferably configured as a clip, the clip having at least one leg with a locking section that at least partially extends into the receptacle in the locking position.
  • the clip is a U-clip with two legs which extend from a common ground or base. The two legs are preferably spaced apart from each other, particularly diametrically, across the receptacle. Thereby, each of the legs may interact with a mating connector at its locking section in order to block the movement of the mating connector in the locking position.
  • the clip may also have the shape of a C-clip, an E-clip, a circclip or another shape that serves the same purpose.
  • the at least one locking section is preferably basically straight. At least the locking section of a leg may be slidably seated in a groove on the housing, at least in the locking position.
  • the locking section preferably extends perpendicular to an axis of the receptacle.
  • the axis of the receptacle is preferably a longitudinal axis of a basically longitudinally shaped receptacle.
  • the axis may also define a receiving direction of the receptacle along which a mating connector may be received. Hence, said receiving direction is identical to an insertion direction of the mating connector.
  • the CPA is preferably movable along a CPA moving direction on the housing.
  • Said CPA moving direction is preferably perpendicular to the axis of the receptacle.
  • At least the locking sections of the legs are preferably parallel with the CPA moving direction.
  • the at least one leg has preferably at least one sliding section that is configured to slide along an outer surface of the housing at least during a transition between the release position and the locking position.
  • Said sliding section is preferably arranged at an end facing away from the ground of the CPA.
  • the locking section is preferably arranged between the sliding section and the ground.
  • the two sliding sections of both legs may be inclined towards each other.
  • At least a section of the outer surface of the housing is inclined with respect to the CPA moving direction, wherein the inclined section and the CPA are configured for converting a sliding movement of the sliding section along the inclined section during a transition from the locking position to the release position into a movement of the locking section further away from the receptacle.
  • a mating connector can easily be released by simply moving the CPA along the moving direction.
  • the housing preferably has a basically round cross-section that is to say, an essentially circular or elliptic cross-section.
  • This round shape may provide the inclined sections. Moving the CPA along the CPA moving direction during the transition from the locking position to the release position may lead to sliding of the sliding section along the round surface, wherein a distance from a contact point of the sliding section with the housing to a diameter of the cross-section that runs parallel with the CPA moving direction increases. Said distance is measured perpendicular to said diameter.
  • the CPA widens when the sliding sections slide along the housing and the distance between the two sliding sections increases. IN the locking position, the sliding sections are closer together than in the release position.
  • the housing is preferably provided with at least one groove for each leg for guiding at least a part of the CPA. Said groove preferably extends perpendicular to the axis of the receptacle and basically parallel with the CPA moving direction.
  • the direction in which the locking sections move away from each other during transition from the locking position to the release position is preferably perpendicular to the axis of the receptacle and to the CPA moving direction.
  • At least one joint portion is provided on the CPA-actuator, the joint portion connecting the CPA and the CPA-actuator with each other, wherein the CPA-actuator further comprises at least one lever member of which at least an output portion is arranged between the joint portion and at least an abutment section, preferably a shoulder, of the housing for abutting the CPA-actuator on the housing.
  • the abutment section may support the lever member such that the lever member may pull the CPA from the locking position to the release position.
  • the CPA-actuator is biased against the abutment section by the spring bias.
  • the output portion may always be in contact with the abutment section.
  • the joint portion preferably forms a hinge for the at least one lever member.
  • the lever member may thereby rotate around a rotational axis.
  • the output portion of the at least one lever member preferably have a lever surface extending around the at least one joint portion with a gradually changing distance from the joint portion.
  • the CPA actuator comprises two lever members which are spaced apart from each other, in particular spaced apart from each other perpendicular to the axis of the receptacle, and which are interconnected by at least one lever handle for operating the CPA-actuator.
  • the at least one lever handle may be configured for covering the CPA at least in parts in the locking position.
  • the lever handle may be configured for covering a ground of the CPA.
  • the at least one lever handle may be configured for being fixated to the housing in the locking position. Therefore, the lever handle may be provided with at least one latching element.
