Electric connector housing with improved contact stops and electric connector comprising said housing
View Patent ↗This housing includes an assembly of sockets each provided to receive a contact by engaging along a (Z) axis, wherein each socket of the assembly is essentially defined by at least two opposite axial lateral walls and includes two elastic locking latches extending in an essentially axial manner from two respective opposite transverse walls. At least one bar acting as a limiting stop with regard to the insertion of the contact in the socket is provided on the front end of each socket, said bar being formed in such a way that the axial projection thereof is located between the latches and does not interfere therewith.
1. An electric connector housing, which comprises an assembly of sockets each provided to receive a contact by engaging along a (Z) axis, each socket of the assembly being at least partially defined by at least two opposite axial lateral walls, and comprising two locking elastic latches extending generally axially from two respective opposite transverse walls,
characterized in that each socket comprises, on the side of its front end, at least one bar forming a stop for limiting the insertion of the contact in the socket, which is formed so that its axial projection is situated between latches and does not interfere with the latches.
2. The electric connector housing which comprises an assembly of sockets each provided to receive a contact by engaging along a (Z) axis, each socket of the assembly being at least partially defined by at least two opposite axial lateral walls, and comprising two locking elastic latches extending generally axially from two respective opposite transverse walls,
characterized in that each socket comprises, on the side of its front end, at least one bar forming a stop for limiting the insertion of the contact in the socket, which is formed so that its axial projection is situated between latches and does not interfere with the latches, further characterized in that said bar connects the two opposite lateral walls adjacent to transverse walls.
3. The electric connector housing according to claim 1 , further characterized in that each socket of the assembly is provided with two such bars forming stops, which extend parallelly.
4. The electric connector housing according to claim 1 , further characterized in that over at least one axial section, at least one of the two latches has a width about equal to the width of socket.
5. The electric connector housing according to claim 1 , further characterized in that at least one of the two latches is connected to respective transverse wall by its rear end, comprises a hook piece which projects towards the (Z) axis of socket from its front end side which is free, and has a maximum width on the side of its rear end.
6. The electric connector housing according to claim 1 , further characterized in that each socket of the assembly is symmetrical relative to an axial plane (XZ) extending between the two latches.
7. The electric connector housing according to claim 1 , further characterized in that it is molded of one plastic piece.
8. The electric connector comprising a housing according to claim 1 , and contacts engaged in the respective sockets of said housing.
9. An electrical connector housing comprising a plurality of sockets, wherein each socket is adapted to receive a contact by engaging along a (Z) axis, wherein each socket is at least partially defined by two opposite axial lateral walls, and wherein the housing further comprises two locking elastic latches at each socket extending generally axially from two respective opposite transverse walls, wherein each socket comprises, on a front end, at least one bar forming a stop for limiting insertion of the contact into the socket, wherein the at least one bar is formed having an axial projection situated in an area generally between the latches which is forwardly spaced from ends of the latches and which does not interfere with the latches.
10. The electric connector housing according to claim 9 further characterized in that the bar connects the two opposite lateral walls adjacent to transverse walls.
