Definitions

  • a solderless electrically insulated connector has an insulating body including a base portion and a cover portion.
  • the cover portion includes a depressible member and a resilient metal contact element fixedly retained therein for movement with respect thereto.
  • the base portion is longitudinally grooved to accept insulated electrically conductive wires therein. Both the base portion and the cover portion are provided with a first locking means for locking the base and cover portions together.
  • the present invention relates to electrical connectors and, more particularly, to insulated connectors for interconnecting insulated electrically conductive wires.
  • Solderless connectors of which we are aware generally comprise multiple elements, e.g., an insulating body having a separable cover and base portion, and a separable contact element; or are of the clamshell type wherein the cover and base portions are hinged together with a contact element affixed therein, e.g., molded within the cover or the base portion.
  • the separable-element connector relies only upon the insulating base and cover portions to retain and lock the wires therein and maintain the electrically conductive contact element in position.
  • the separableelement connector suffers from the further disadvantage of having its separable constituent elements susceptible to being lost or misplaced thus rendering it inconvenient during installation thereof.
  • the clamshell type connector also generally relies upon the insulating base and cover portions to retain and lock the wires and the contact element in position.
  • Other known forms of connectors rely only upon the friction between the base and cover portions of the insulating body or housing for retaining them together.
  • the electrical contact element is generally forced into engagement with the conductive cores of the wires being connected together by means of a conventional pliers, for example.
  • the contact element includes means for cutting through the insulation on the wires to be connected together, and for forming an electrically conductive path or bridge between the cores of the wires.
  • the contact element distorts the base portion of the housing so that when the cover portion is applied or closed the single locking means common to the base and cover portion of the connector unit fails to make a properly secure lock.
  • an electrically conductive connection is made, it may easily come apart or be come exposed, thereby causing a danger to personnel or providing a low resistance leakage path to ground.
  • the contact element becomes exposed and the connector must be scrapped.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a solderless electrically insulated connector in which the electrical connection between wires inserted therein is made after the insulating housing of the connector has been securely locked in a closed position.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a solderless electrically insulated connector having a base portion and a cover portion including a depressible electrical contact element therein in which the electrical contact element is provided with means for independently locking the base and cover portions together.
  • solderless electrical connector of the present invention comprises, in brief, an insulating body member having first and second portions, the body member including first means for locking the first and second portions together.
  • the first portion includes means for receiving a plurality of insulated elec trically conductive wires therein.
  • the second portion includes a contact element movable between a first position and a second position for providing common electrically conductive engagement with a plurality of insulated electrically conductive wires positioned within the receiving means, the contact element including means for fixedly engaging the first portion upon movement thereof to said second position after said first and second portions have been locked together by the first locking means, thereby providing a second means for locking the first portion and the second portion together.
  • FIG. I is an exploded perspective view of the electrical connector of the present invention shown in an open condition
  • FIG. 2. is an enlarged top view of the connector depicted in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the connector taken substantially along line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the connector in a closed condition with the depressible cover member in a first or extended position, taken substantially along line 4-4 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the connector in a closed condition with the depressible cover member in a second or depressed position, taken substantially along the line 5-5 of FIG. 2.
  • Connector 10 includes a slotted, relatively thin, resilient flat metallic contact element l2 and an insulating body member 14.
  • the body member 14 is a unitary structure and includes a cover portion 16 and a base portion 18 integrally joined together by a contiguous longitudinally extending hinge 20 along the full length of one side of the connector.
  • the insulating body member is preferably molded in a known manner from a synthetic polymeric material, e.g., high-impact polypropylene, although other suitable materials having adequate insulating and strength characteristics upon being molded or otherwise formed, may be employed as will occur to those skilled in the art.
  • the hinge of the preferred embodiment may be formed with reduced thickness as shown in FIG. 3 so as to provide increased flexibility facilitating repeated opening and closing of the cover portion 16 relative to the base portion 18.
  • the upper surface of the base portion 18, as best viewed in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes two parallel, longitudinally extending wire-receiving grooves or channels 22 and 24 adapted to receive therein a pair of insulated wires 26 and 28, having therein electrically conductive cores and 27, respectively.
  • the grooves 22, 24 are spaced from one another to define a dividing wall portions 25 extending the full length of the base portion 18.
  • Groove 22 as shown in FIG. 1, also extends the full length of the base portion 18.
  • Groove 24, however, is provided with a wire-stop wall or abutment 30 proximate one end thereof which functions to insulate and provide a stop for the terminal end of wire 28 inserted therein.
  • the grooves 22 and 24 include thin partitions 32, 34 and 36 which are adapted to grasp the insulation of the wires 26 and 28 inserted therein, thereby retaining them in position within their respective grooves.
  • a transverse slot 38 is provided in the base portion 18 and is preferably centrally disposed with respect to the opposed longitudinal extremities of the base portion. The transverse slot 38 extends through each of the grooves 22 and 24 as well as through the wall portion 23 between the grooves 22 and 24 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) and functions as a guide for the contact element 12 when the connector is being installed, as will be more fully explained hereinafter.
  • U-shaped groove 42 Partially circumscribing one lateral end 39 of the transverse slot 38 proximate the non-hinged sidewall 40 of the base portion 18, is an arcuate U-shaped groove 42.
  • Groove 42 is adapted to receive therein a complementary U-shaped projection 44 provided on the cover portion 16 when the cover portion 16 is closed relative to the base portion thereby functioning to increase the length of the leakage path between the contact element 12 and the exterior of the connector when the contact element 12 is depressed into the transverse slot 38 during installation of the connector as will be explained below.
  • a pair of spaced, hook-shaped protrusions 46 are formed within sidewall 40 of base portion 18 to function as one portion of a first locking means, the other portion of which comprises a pair of spaced, complementary, hook-shaped protrusions 48 extending from the inner surface 49 of the depending sidewall 51 of cover portion 16.
  • Hook-shaped portions 48 are adapted to cooperate with the hook-shaped protrusion 46 to securely lock the cover portion to the base portion when the former is in a closed condition with re spect to the latter.
  • the cover portion 16 is provided with an elongated, transversely oriented depressible member 50.
  • the member 50 is integral with respect to the cover portion 16 by virtue of it being joined to the cover portion by a continuous encircling membrane or flexible web 52, extending between the member 50 and the interior wall surface 53 of a central recess 55 disposed within the cover portion 16.
  • the flexible web 52 has a reduced thickness relative to that of the remaining cover portion 16 so as to facilitate displacement of the depressible member 50 relative to the cover portion 16, that is, between a first non-depressed position as shown in FIG. 4, and a second depressed position as shown in FIG. 5. It will be noted that in the second or depressed position of member 50 as shown in FIG. 5, the flexible web 52 assumes a taut condition and the depressible member 50 is seated substantially within the central recess 55 such that its upper surface does not extend beyond the upper surface of the cover portion.
  • the depressible member 50 preferably is provided with a narrow transverse groove 54, which is adapted to receive and retain the contact element 12 therein.
  • the contact element 12 which preferably is fabricated from a suitable resilient metallic material such as, for example, phosphorbronze, brass, or copper so as to provide good electrical conductivity, is provided with slots 56 and 58 thereby forming leg portions 60, 62 and 64.
  • the transverse or lateral width dimension of each slot 56, 58 is chosen to be slightly less than the diameter of the electrically conductive cores 25, 27 in each of the wires 26, 28 to be received within grooves 22 and 24 and for this reason, leg portions 60 and 64 are adapted to flex slightly in an outwardly or lateral direction when the contact element is forced into engagement with the wire cores 25, 27 as will be more fully explained.
  • the slots 56 and 58 are in alignment with grooves 22 and 24, respectively, when the cover portion 16 is closed relative to base portion 18.
  • the leg portions 60, 62 and 64 are generally parallel to one another and are provided with sharpened edges along the length of the slots 56 and 58 to facilitate cutting into the insulation on the wires 26 and 28 during the installation of the connector as will be more fully explained below.
  • the edges of slot 58 are slightly bent out of the plane of the contact element toward the wire-stop wall 30, as shown in FIG. 2, thereby providing means for axially retaining the insulated wire 28 received within groove 24, i.e., for resisting pullout forces exerted on the wire in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wire. As best seen in FIGS.
  • the contact element 12 preferably is provided with a first pair of tangs 66 adjacent the upper edge thereof, and a second pair of tangs 58 located on the outer edges of leg portions 60 and 64.
  • the first pair of tangs 66 is adapted to fixedly retain the contact element 12 within the transverse groove 54; hence, within the depressible member 50. It is contemplated that the contact element 12 will be inserted in groove 54 when the connector is manufactured and that the cover portion 16 and the base portion 18 will be integrally molded as a unitary structure so that a mechanical installing the connector will not have to be concerned with missing or loose elements at the time of the installation thereof.
  • the upper surface 70 of depressible member 50 is preferably curved slightly to conveniently mate with the jaws of a conventional pliers, I
  • the lower pair of tangs 68 of resilientcontact element 12 will be forced respectively into embedding engagement with the opposed walls 39, 41 of transverse slot 38 by the action of the electrically conductive cores 25 and 27 of wires 26 and 28, causing the outer leg portions 60, 64 to flex laterally thus fixedly retaining the contact element 12 relative to the base portion 18. Since the flexible web 52 is made taut when the member 50 is depressed to its second position as explained above and as shown in FIG. 5, the action of the second pair of tangs 68 engaging the base portion 18 serves to define a second locking means securely locking the cover portion 16 to the base portion 18.
  • the cover portion 16 will be fixedly retained relative to the base portion 18 through the first pair of tangs 66 embedded within the member 50, the second pair of tangs 68 embedded within the base portion 18, and the taut connection provided by the flexible web 52 between the member 50 and the cover portion 16.
  • further means for restraining the wire 28 received within groove 24 may be provided. These may include a pair of obliquely extending wall portions 72 extending toward the wire stop-wall which are adapted to grasp the insulation of the wire 28 inserted into groove 24; and a protrusion 74 which may be provided on the inside surface of cover portion 16 as shown in FIG. 2 and which is adapted to exert holding pressure on the wire 28 inserted into groove 24 when the cover portion 16 is closed and locked relative to the base portion 18.
  • the connector of the present invention may be employed to form an electrically conductive connection between the two electrically conductive cores 25 and 27 of wires 26 and 28, respectively, as follows.
  • the connector 10 is normally in the completely opened condition, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 and the contact member 12 is retained within transverse groove 54, as mentioned earlier.
  • the wire 26, having an electrically conductive core 25, to which a connection is to be made, is inserted into groove 22.
  • a second wire 28, having an electrically conductive core 27, is inserted into groove 24 and pushed forward until its free or terminal end abuts against stop-wall 30. The insulation need not be removed from the wires 26, 28.
  • the cover portion 16 of the connector 10 is then closed relative to the base portion 18 and locked together via the first locking means comprising the cooperatively engaging hook-shaped protrusions 46 and 48.
  • a downwardly directed force is applied against the depressible member 50 sufficient to cause it to be movably displaced from its -first extended or nondepressed position (FIG. 4) to its second, depressed position as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the present invention discloses a relatively inexpensive, solderless, electrically insulated connector of relatively simple, but rugged construction.
  • a preferred embodiment has been described above, it will be understood that many variations and modifications hereof may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the invention.
  • the preferred embodiment described above is useful for making a tap connection between an insulated wire extending completely through the housing and at least one other insulated wire terminating within the housing.
  • the connector 10 of the present invention may obviously be modified by eliminating the abutment or wire stopwall 30 located within groove 24, thus providing an electrical connector suitable for interconnecting at least a pair of electrically conductive wires extending completely through the body member 14.
