Insulating body for pluggable connector
The object of the present invention is an insulating body ( 1 ) for a pluggable connector ( 10 ) intended to be connected to a junction block ( 100 ), said insulating body ( 1 ) comprising a housing ( 2 ) for conductive parts ( 11, 12 ) comprising a connection terminal ( 11 ) for a conductive wire intended to be connected to the pluggable connector ( 10 ), said housing ( 2 ) comprising a support portion ( 6 ) for the connection terminal ( 11 ) and being arranged to open on a side wall ( 3 ) of the insulating body ( 1 ) via an aperture ( 4 ) arranged on said side wall ( 3 ), the insulating body ( 1 ) comprising wedging means ( 7 ), said wedging means ( 7 ) being disposed in whole or in part within a portion of the housing ( 2 ) situated facing the support portion ( 6 ) of the housing ( 2 ).
1. An insulating body for a pluggable connector configured to be connected to a junction block, said insulating body comprising:
a housing for conductive parts comprising a connection terminal for a conductive wire configured to be connected to the pluggable connector,
said housing comprising a support portion for the connection terminal and being arranged to open on a side wall of the insulating body via an aperture arranged on said side wall,
the insulating body comprising:
wedging means of the connection terminal, said wedging means presenting a hemi-cylindrical shape being disposed in whole or in part within a portion of the housing situated facing a hemi-cylindrical shape of the support portion of the housing, both hemi-cylindrical shapes arranged for cooperating with the connection terminal and said wedging means being secured to a plate of the insulating body with a determined thickness arranged to bear on the side wall of the insulating body, wherein the thickness of the plate is determined so as to catch up the pitch of the junction block on which the pluggable connector is configured to be connected, and
tenons located on the side wall and orientated in a direction opposite the pluggable connector, the tenons configured to cooperate with mortises disposed on a wall of an adjacent pluggable connector.
2. The insulating body according to claim 1 , wherein the wedging means are removable.
3. The insulating body according to claim 1 , wherein the wedging means and the support portion of the housing present a contour with a determined shape configured to cooperate in a complementary way with a contour of the connection terminal.
4. The insulating body according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is linked to an upper wall adjacent to the side wall of the insulating body via a linking element so as to be movable between:
a first position wherein the wedging means are disposed outside the housing and the plate is disposed at a distance from the side wall of the insulating body, and
a second position wherein the wedging means are disposed in whole or in part within the housing and the plate bears on the side wall of the insulating body.
5. The insulating body according to claim 1 , wherein the linking element is linked to the upper wall by a pivot link.
6. The insulating body according to claim 1 , wherein the linking element comprises a tenon arranged to cooperate with a mortise disposed on the upper wall of the insulating body.
7. The insulating body according to claim 1 , wherein the plate comprises at least one tenon arranged to cooperate with at least one mortise disposed on the side wall of the insulating body.
8. The insulating body according to claim 1 , wherein the plate presents a contour of which shape is arranged to pass around the tenons protruding from the side wall of the insulating body.
9. A pluggable connector comprising an insulating body according to claim 1 and conductive parts including:
a connection terminal configured to the connection of a conductive wire, and
a connection socket configured to the connection of a connection terminal of a junction block,
the connection terminal being electrically linked to the connection socket.
