  • Publication number: 20220263254
    Abstract: A first alternative of the application first defines a one-piece metal blank that will make it possible to produce a connector sub-assembly ready to be directly crimped to an insulated and shielded cable, prepared beforehand. A second alternative of the application first defines a pre-assembled connector sub-assembly that incorporates front and rear crimping portions with different electrical and/or mechanical characteristics, and which is ready to be directly crimped to an insulated and shielded cable, prepared beforehand. Either of the two alternatives makes it possible to minimize assembly steps and associated risks such as those due to the processes of fitting together a great many components according to the prior art.

  • Patent number: 10601165
    Abstract: An angled multicontact connector comprises at least two angled contacts, an insulative angled body made of an insulative material, a conductive angled body made of a conductive material, a conductive material cap adapted to be fixed to the cable and to close the conductive angled body around the angled contacts. The insulative angled body includes at least one groove open toward the outside, each groove being adapted to receive at least in part the rear end of one of the angled contacts. The angled multicontact connector further includes an insulative material part adapted to be removably fixed to the insulative angled body to retain the rear end of the angled contacts not received in a groove and to separate each rear end from the rear end of any other angled contact, and from the conductive cap when the conductive cap is in a position closing the conductive angled body.

  • Publication number: 20170214171
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel angled electrical connector of the multicontact type intended to be mounted on a cable including a plurality of insulated conductors. The invention essentially consists in configuring the insulator to allow mounting of the contacts by insertion from the rear and to allow the removable fixing of a single insulating part the function of which is both to retain, i.e. to immobilize, the contacts transversely to the axis of the rear portion of the insulator, to insulate the contacts from one another, and also to insulate the contacts that are nearest the outside of the bend in the connector, i.e. the longest contacts, from the conductive cap that with the conductive body forms a shielding assembly. The invention concerns also the assembly process of the connector.
