Definitions
- This invention generally relates to the art of electrical connectors and, particularly, to an electrical connector assembly having an improved structure that facilitates its manufacture.
- An electrical connector assembly typically includes some form of insulative, or dielectric, housing which supports a plurality of conductive terminals.
- the terminals typically have contact portions for engaging like portions of terminals of an opposing connector, along with tail portions for termination to either wires or to conductive traces on a printed circuit board or the like.
- One type of electrical connector assembly incorporates very thin terminals mounted in a dielectric housing with a metal shield surrounding part of the mating portion of the connector assembly.
- the terminals may be stamped and formed of conductive sheet metal.
- An example of such connector assembly is a right-angled connector that mounts to a printed circuit board and which mates with an opposing connector.
- This connector includes a forwardly projecting mating end extending generally parallel to the circuit board, and a terminal body portion that supports tail portions that project rearwardly from a rear face of the housing.
- a metal shell surrounds the forwardly projecting mating end of the connector.
- the tail portions are bent generally at right angles downwardly for connection to an appropriate conductive circuit on a printed circuit board.
- one method of manufacture involves stitching the terminals one at a time into the rear terminating face of the housing. This process is very slow and results in low terminal retention.
- the walls of the connector housing must be made very thin. Stitching of the terminals in such a housing may result in either bending of the terminals or breaking of the housing walls, both of which are undesirable.
- stitched terminals must have a minimum stiffness to prevent their buckling during insertion.
- the stiffness results in terminals having a considerable thickness and because the tail portions are left unprotected, they are often bent or displaced from their proper relative positions for connection to the conductive circuits on the printed circuit board.
- Another method of manufacture involves the molding of a housing over all the terminals.
- One problem with this approach is hat ' long portions of the terminals are contained within the molded housing, and this results often in quality problems and low quality yields because the terminals are difficult to support in their desired spacing.
- the flow of plastic into the mold is done with such force that often the terminals may shift their position.
- Another problem is the terminal tail portions are not adequately supported.
- the present invention is directed to solving .these various problems and providing a unique structural combination which is simple and efficient to manufacture and provides considerable support for the terminals of the c nnector assembly.
- a general object of the invention is to provide a new and improved electrical connector of the character described that facilitates the manufacture thereof.
- the connector assembly includes a pair of terminal modules, each supporting different sets of terminals that are insert molded in the modules.
- the molding of these terminal modules reduces alignment problems and facilitates the support of the terminals within each module.
- the use of two, interengaging terminal modules allows more freedom in the width a ⁇ d ocation of the terminals.
- a metal shell extends around portions of the modules to form a- subassembly.
- a dielectric body is molded about portions of the terminal modules and a portion of the shell, i.e., the subassembly, to hold the modules and shell together as a single unit. . ⁇
- the terminals of the terminal modules have contact portions that are enclosed within the metal shell and tail portions that extend outwardly from the modules to engage ⁇ appropriate conductive circuits on a printed circuit board.
- Both the metal shell and the molded housings of the terminal modules may have locking projections molded by the body to facilitate holding the shell and modules in assembly.
- Complementary interengaging positioning members are provided on the two terminal modules that maintain the modules in proper relative positions in the subassembly.
- the housing of one module may include a polygonal mounting post that is received within a complementary shaped hole in the other module.
- the modules cooperate to form a combined connector housing With two forwardly projecting mating portions.
- the metal shell serves as a shroud that ' s ⁇ rrounds these mating portions.
- the terminal modules bach include a forwardly projecting cantilevered leaf, and together the two modules cooperatively define a mating portion of the connector assembly.
- the leaves are spaced from each other to form a receptacle therebetween for receiving a plug portion of an opposing connector.
- the cantilevered leaves have interior opposing faces, and the terminals contact portions are exposed on these faces. Locating means, such as notches or recesses, are provided on the cantilevered leaves that engage the outer shell to hold the leaves in their respective positions.
- the terminals have tail portions v • r :> projecting from the rear faces of the housings of th ⁇ terminal modules.
- the housings include retention portions that are partially molded about the tail portions to hold the tail portions in proper relative positions.

- FIGS. 5 and 6 show the two terminal modules 30, 32 separated from each other.
- module 30 will be referred to as the "top” module
- module 32 will be referred to as the “bottom” module, although it will be understood that these positions merely occur in the embodiment illustrated and that the terminal modules may be utilized in "right” and “left” and other orientations in connectors of the invention.
- the shell 16 may be stamped and formed from sheet metal and complementary interengaging locating means are provided between the shell 16 and the two module cantilevered portions 44 to hold the portions spaced from each other.
- the module cantilevered portions 44 have notches 46 molded, or otherwise formed therein at the distal (free) ends thereof. (FIG. 5.)
- the shell 16 is also preferably formed with inwardly bent locating tabs 48 which move into notches 46 when the shell is positioned over the cantilevered portions 44.
- the notches 46 preferably include shoulder portions 46a formed therewith (FIG. 4) that engage the locating tabs 48 to maintain the cantilevered portions 44 in their relatively spaced positions.
- the shell tabs 48 are preferably biased inwardly and thereby exert a compressive force thereon that assists in maintaining the cantilevered portions 44 in place within the shell 16 in both mated and unmated conditions.
- the metal shell 16 may further include a dove-tail configured seam 50 that maintains the shell in its shroud configuration as it fits over the two cantilevered portions 44 of the terminal modules 30, 32.
- the shell is preferably coined as at 52, in order to expand the metal shell in a localized area so as to provide a tight fit at the dove-tail seam.
- Spring arms 54 are stamped and formed out of the sides 16a of the shell 16 and will engage the shield of an opposing connector inserted into the receptacle defined by the cantilevered portions of the two terminal modules and the shell 16.
- the shell 16 may include a pair of retainers, that are illustrated as vertical projections 56 that are formed on opposite sides of the seam 50 and along the rear portion of the shell. These retainers 56 are received in a key, or slot, 58 formed in the top terminal module housing 34.
- the body portion 18 that is preferably molded over the shell and terminal modules covers the shell retainers 56 to not only hold the shell to the assembly, but also to assist in holding the seam 50 together.
- the housing portion 34 of the top terminal module 30 may include a pair of upwardly projecting locking projections (shown as posts 60) which are surrounded by the body portion 18 as seen in FIGS. 1 and 7, to further facilitate holding the terminal module in place within the connector.
- the terminals 36 of the top terminal module 30 include contact portions 36a which are exposed on an inside face 62 of the cantilevered portion 44.
- the terminals are preferably stamped and formed of thin sheet metal and, during molding of housing 34 about the terminals, part of the contact portions 36a are embedded in the inside face of the cantilevered portion so that the contact portions are preferably flush therewith.
- Terminals 36 have body portions 36b that preferably extend at an angle to their contact portions 36a as seen in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the terminals 36 each end in a tail portion 26 as described above for connection to circuits on a circuit board.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 also show plastic material 64 interspersed between the body portions of adjacent terminals.
- a transverse support bar 66 (FIG. 6) may be provided by molding a bar-like member across the rear of all of the tail portions of the top terminal module in order to add support thereto during the insert molding process.
- This support bar 66 facilitates the forming of the terminals as they are formed so that their tail portions may align with the tail portions of the bottom module terminals.
- the support bar 66 maintains the terminals in the spacings in which they are formed, and portions 64 of the support bar 66 and housing fill the intervening spaces 64 between the terminals with housing molding material.
- the intervening spaces may be filled with molding material before the terminals are formed so that the top set of terminals and support bar may be moved during the bending thereof as a single unit.
- the housing material 64 that lies between the terminal may affect the impedance of the connector because the housing material will typically have a dielectric constant greater than 1. The dielectric material will increase capacitive coupling between terminals, which will tend to lower the impedance of the connector.
- the terminals 38 of the bottom terminal module 32 also have contact portions 38a that are partially embedded in cantilevered portion 44 of the module 32. Surfaces of the contact portions 38a are exposed and are disposed substantially flush with the inside surface 62 of the cantilevered wall.
- the lower terminals 38 have their body portions 38b extend at angles to their contact portions 38a, with the body portions terminating in the tail portions 26.
- the plastic housing 34 of the bottom terminal module 32 is molded over portions of the terminals and has what may be considered as a large support bar 68 which surrounds part of the terminal body portions 3,8 to support and hold the terminals, especially the tail portions, in place in the bottom terminal module and the overall connector.
- the housing 34 of the bottom terminal module 32 preferably includes a pair of cavities, or recesses, 69 which may become filled with the material of the molded body portion 18 when the body portion 18 is formed. These recesses 69 and the posts 60 of the top terminal module 32 cooperatively provide means for engaging and anchoring the body portion to 18 to the connector.
- the plastic support portions 64, 66 and 68 of the module housings provide complete support for the tail portions 26, of the terminals 36, 38.
- the connector body portion 18 is molded over the same to form the connector as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As seen best in FIGS. 2 and 7, the molded body portion 18 provides further support for the body portions 36b and 38b of the thin terminals.
- This molded body portion 18 is also important because it interacts with the retainers 56 of the outer shell 16 and prevents the shell from moving, or rotating, with respect to the two terminal modules 30, 32 during the assembly process and during mating cycles with an opposing connector.
- the body portion 18 also supports the tail portions of the terminals in their orientation on the connector subassembly (i.e., the terminal modules) and may maintain the ends of the tail portions in a coplanar arrangement for surface mounting to a circuit board. As illustrated best in FIG. A, the tail portions of the terminals of both first and second terminal modules lie in a common plane in opposition to the surface of the circuit board. Additionally, the terminal tail portions 26 of the terminals of the top terminal module 30 lie between adjacent terminal tail portions 26 of the bottom terminal module 32.
- the terminal modules 30, 32 may include additional notches, or irregular openings 110 that provide the modules with an irregular configuration. These openings 110 are filled with material from which the body portion 18 is formed, and they assist in holding the two terminal modules together as a single unit.
- the bottom terminal module 32 may also be formed with a recess, or notch 58 (FIG. 5) like that of the top terminal module, which receive a tab or projecting portion 56 of the metal shell 16. (FIG. 7.)
- FIGS. 4-6 show that the body portions 36b of terminals 36 are held by the top terminal module housing 34 so that they lie in a common plane.
- the body portions of the terminals of the two terminal modules 30, 32 lie in two different, spaced-apart planes. As shown in the drawings these two planes are vertical planes. It is desirable in many electrical connectors to be able to vary the impedance and capacitance of the connector. However, this often is very difficult due to the high density and
- FIG. 11 illustrates how the connectors of the invention are made.
- the sets of terminals 36, 38 may be stamped and formed from a blank of metal, illustrated as a carrier strip 90.
- the two sets of terminals 36, 38 may be stamped at different locations on the carrier strip 90 as shown.
- the terminal modules 30, 32 are formed next, with each set of terminals being inserted into two respective molds. Molten plastic, or another dielectric or insulative material is then injected into the cavities of the molds, and this material contacts and flow around desired portions of the terminal sets 36, 38 in a desired manner.
- the terminals are divided into two different sets, each of which has a reduced number of terminals compared to all of the terminals in the connector. Thus, the terminals may be spaced closer together and better retained in place during the molding process and their cantilevered structure will not adversely affect the forming of the connector, because it is held in place.
- the terminal modules 30, 32 may be separated from a common, or individual carrier strips, and then assembled together with their respective projections and cavities mating with each other.
- the outer metal shell 16 is then applied to the terminal module cantilevered portions 44 to form a connector subassembly.
- the subassembly is subsequently inserted into a mold and the connector housing body portion 18 is molded over parts of the modules 30, 32, the shell 18 and the terminals 36, 38.
- the body portion 18 may, as illustrated, extend down to the lower level of the terminal tail portions 36, 38b so as to maintain them in a common place to facilitate the mounting of the connector on a circuit board.
- an exterior, or second shell 91 may then be applied that is at least partially supported by the body portion 18 and which extends around both the body portion 18 of the connector and its interior shield 16.
- the present invention may be utilized to maintain the terminals of a differential pair terminal set in proper alignment to ensure proper capacitive coupling among the terminals, which will tend to lower the impedance of the terminals through the connector.
- a pair of differential signal terminals 38a lie along the surface of the bottom terminal module.
- differential signal terminals it is meant that the two terminals will carry the same magnitude of voltage, but of different polarity, i.e., +0.5 and -0.5 volts. These two terminals are spaced apart from each other and from an associated ground terminal 36a (FIG.
