Abstract

A device for connecting an electric wiring harness to the rear of an electrical connector, includes two half-shells configured to be assembled and to receive within them at least one cable of the electric wiring harness, a rear clamping nut designed to compress the two half-shells radially around the cable, a longitudinal body designed to hold the two half-shells axially, a front clamping nut designed to hold the longitudinal body around the electrical connector, wherein each one of the two half-shells includes an inner pad made of an elastomeric material, configured to be in contact with the cable, and an outer jacket made of a rigid material, at least partially enveloping the inner pad and configured to be in contact with the rear clamping nut.

Claims (17)

1. Device for connecting an electric wiring harness to a rear of an electrical connector, comprising:

two half-shells configured to be assembled and to receive within them at least one cable of the electric wiring harness,

a rear clamping nut configured to compress the two half-shells radially around the cable,

a longitudinal body configured to hold the two half-shells axially,

a front clamping nut configured to hold the longitudinal body around the electrical connector,

wherein each one of the two half-shells comprises:

an inner pad made of an elastomeric material, configured to b e in contact with the cable, and

an outer jacket made of a rigid material, at least partially enveloping the inner pad and configured to be in contact with the rear clamping nut.

2. The device for connecting according to claim 1 , wherein the inner pad comprises at least one groove adapted to receive the cable.

3. The device for connecting according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric material of the inner pad comprises a hardness defined according to a coefficient of adhesion of the cable and/or environmental conditions.

4. The device for connecting according to claim 2 , wherein the groove of the inner pad has a geometry defined according to a geometry of the cable so that, combined with the hardness of the elastomeric material, the cable is compressed and held in traction.

5. The device for connecting according to claim 1 , wherein the rigid material of the outer jacket is electrically conductive.

6. The device for connecting according to claim 1 , wherein the rear clamping nut comprises an inner conical portion and wherein the two half-shells comprise an outer conical portion, complementary with the inner conical portion of the rear clamping nut.

7. The device for connecting according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal body comprises, on an inner wall, a lug forming a protrusion, against on the half-shells, and forming an axial abutment.

8. The device for connecting according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal body comprises, on an inner wall, at least one protruding portion pressing on the rear clamping nut and forming a retaining claw.

9. The device for connecting according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two half-shells comprises, on a rear face, an anti-rotation cavity adapted to receive an anti-rotation tool, during the tightening of the rear clamping nut.

10. Aircraft turbine engine, comprising at least one device for connecting according to claim 1 .
