Definitions
- This invention relates to electrical connectors and more particularly to cable to board power connectors.
- Cable to board power connectors are know in the art. Such connectors may be adapted to relatively high power uses while other such connectors may be specifically adapted to lower power uses. Other similar connectors may be adapted for signal transmission. The user is required, therefore, to keep a relatively large stock of cable to board connectors for different uses.
- a modular cable to board connector in which various configurations can be selected depending on the user's needs.
- Each element of this electrical connector comprises a plurality of axial segments positioned in parallel, side by side relation and wherein a transverse passageway extends through said axial segments.
- a rail is positioned in said transverse passageway, and latching means are used to fix this rail to at least one of said axial segments.
- the segments may be a high power module, a low power module or a signal module.
- Guide modules are also provided on each of the opposed ends of the assembly.
- Fig. 1 is a front view of disassembled segments of a preferred embodiment of a board receptacle of the present invention
- Fig. 2 is an end view of the segment shown in Fig. 1
- Fig. 3 is a front view of disassembled segments of a preferred embodiment of a cable plug of the present invention
- Fig. 4 is an end view of the disassembled segments shown in Fig. 3;
- Fig. 5 is a front view illustrating the assembly of two segments shown in Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 6 is an end view of a partially assembled receptacle as shown in Fig. 1 ; and Fig. 7 is a top plan view of a receptacle and plug as would result from the assembly of the segments shown in Fig. 1 - 4.
- the board receptacle would be comprised, for example, of a guide module 10, a high power module 12, a low power module 14 and a signal module 16.
- a guide module 10 a high power module 12, a low power module 14 and a signal module 16.
- the high power module, low power module and signal module would each have contact receiving apertures such as, for example, respectively at apertures 26, 28 and 30.
- One important consideration would be power requirements, and the type of power modules and number of power modules might be selected based on such requirements.
- a second guide module would ordinarily be positioned to the opposed side of guide module 10 when the receptacle is assembled as will be described hereafter.
- the board receptacle would be comprised, for example, of a guide module 32, a high power module 34, a low power module 36 and a signal module 38.
- Each of these modules would have locking features as, for example, 40, 42, 44 and 46.
- the high power module, low power module and signal module would each have contacts as is, for example, respectively shown at contacts 48, 50 and 52.
- adjacent segments as, for example, modules 12 and 14 initially slide together in the direction of the arrows. It will be understood that all adjacent segments slide together in a similar way to obtain a structure as, for example, as shown in Fig. 6.
- the guide module 10 has a recess 54 and the high power module 12, low power module 14 and signal module 16 have respectively slots 56, 58 and 60 which are aligned to produce a passageway shown generally at 62.
- a locking rail 64 is positioned in the passageway 62.
- a plug shown generally at numeral 92 will be assembled to engage the receptacle shown generally at numeral 94 which is assembled in the way described above.
- a cable to board connector has been described which may be assembled from modular components which may be high powered module, low powered module or signal module so that the specific needs of the user may be accommodated.
