Abstract

This interconnection module ( 10 ) between a connection cord and a connection panel comprises a pair of spring-loaded conductive pins ( 12 ) and a molded body ( 14 ) in which a portion of said pair of pins ( 12 ) is embedded. At least one of the ends ( 121, 122 ) of each pin ( 12 ) projects from the body ( 14 ) and the body ( 14 ) forms a hollow volume making the module ( 10 ) clippable.

Claims (23)

1. An interconnection module between a connection cord and a connection panel, said interconnection module comprising:

a pair of spring-loaded conductive pins; and

a molded body in which a portion of said pair of pins is embedded,

at least one of the ends of each pin projecting from said body and said body forming a hollow volume making said module clippable,

wherein said body comprises a first face in which said portion of said pair of pins is embedded, two laterally opposed faces orthogonal to said first face and two flanges opposed to said first face, each of said flanges having a notch, the two notches facing each other and being symmetrical with respect to each other.

2. The interconnection module according to claim 1 , wherein the pins of said pair of pins are connected to each other by a bridge welded on each pin, said bridge being embedded in said body.

3. The interconnection module according to claim 1 , wherein the pins of said pair of pins are connected to each other through a compression contact force applied by an electrical contact component arranged around the pins, said component being embedded in said body.

4. The interconnection module according to claim 1 , wherein said body is made of plastic.

5. A connection cord comprising:

at one end a latch; and

a latch protecting means arranged around said latch,

wherein said end of said connection cord is equipped with an interconnection module, said interconnection module having:

a pair of spring-loaded conductive pins; and

a molded body in which a portion of said pair of pins is embedded,

at least one of the ends of each pin projecting from said body and said body forming a hollow volume making said module clippable, said interconnection module being clipped on said end,

wherein said end is equipped with an interconnection module, having a pair of spring-loaded conductive pins; and a molded body in which a portion of said pair of pins is embedded, at least one of the ends of each pin projecting from said body and said body forming, a hollow volume making said module clippable,

wherein said body has a first face in which said portion of said pair of pins is embedded, two laterally opposed faces orthogonal to said first face and two flanges opposed to said first face, each of said flanges having a notch, the two notches facing each other and being symmetrical with respect to each other,

wherein said notches rest against said latch protecting means.

6. An assembly comprising;

on one hand, a connection panel having at least one input terminal; and

on the other hand, at least one connection cord according to claim 5 connected to said at least one input terminal;

wherein said connection panel comprises a pair of connection pads corresponding to said input terminal and in that said pair of pins is in contact with said pair of connection pads.

7. The assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said connection pads are made of a material comprising gold.
