Abstract
A connector for retaining a cable end portion having a deformable outer covering comprises a locking sleeve, and a shell having a bore for receiving the cable and a plurality of longitudinal slots which define a plurality of angularly separated and radially deflectable fingers, each finger having V-shaped thread on its inner surface whereby mounting of the sleeve onto the shell deflects the fingers radially inward and the thread into gripping relation with the cable covering axial faces of the thread and radial faces of the fingers, respectively, resisting rotation and axial movement of the cable in the bore.
Description
- This invention relates to an electrical connector having means for axially positioning and retaining a coaxial-type cable within the connector.
- The primary object of this invention is to provide a retention arrangement for semi-rigid coaxial-type cable that will eliminate the need of soldering operations to terminate a cable end portion to a connector which is common practice in the electrical connector industry. Such retention would eliminate the need for gold plating a stainless steel body, thus reducing cost.
- In accord with the invention, a slotted connector shell defines a plurality of radially deflectable fingers with each finger including cable gripping teeth. A locking sleeve is disposed around the cable an end portion of which is positioned for termination in the shell, forward axial movement of the locking sleeve camming the fingers radially inward and into gripping relation with the outer covering of the cable.
- An advantage of the invention is a crimp sleeve which may be easily inserted about a connector shell and driven into seated engagement by use of simple tools and yet provide a firm gripping retention which positions the end face of the cable for mating.
- One way of carrying out the invention as described in detail below with reference to the drawings which illustrate specific embodiments in the invention, in which:
- FIGURE 1 is an exploded view of a connector assembly.
- FIGURE 2 is the connector assembly of FIGURE 1 when assembled.
- FIGURE 3 is a view taken along lines III-III of FIGURE 2.
- FIGURE 4 is an exploded view of an alternate connector assembly embodiment of this invention.
- FIGURE 5 is the view of the connector assembly of FIGURE 5 when assembled.
- FIGURE 6 is a view taken along lines VI-VI of FIGURE 5.
- Turning now to the drawings, FIGURES 1-3 and 4-6, respectively, show connector assemblies having an arrangement for gripping the flexible outer covering of a coaxial-type cable to axially position the cable end in the connector, prevent rotation of the cable relative to the connector and retain the cable end portion within the connector assembly whereby to provide a reliable solderless termination.
- FIGURE 1 shows a connector assembly, generally indicated at 10 positioned for assembly about a primary axis 'A' to a cable 12, the cable being of the type comprising a semi-rigid conductive jacket or
outer covering 14, adielectric layer 16 and a center conductor 18 (see FIGURE 3), the connector assembly including alocking sleeve 20, acoupling nut 30 rotatably mounted to the outer periphery of the sleeve and having thread 28 for connecting to a complementary connector (not shown), and ashell 34, the locking sleeve being configured to be fit about the cable end portion and mounted to the rearward end portion. - The
shell 34 is generally cylindrical and has a forward portion 36, a rearward portion 38 defining an opening 44 somewhat larger in diameter than a diameter defining the outer covering of the cable end portion, and abore 40 extending between the ends of the shell. The rearward end portion 38 of theshell 34 includes aninner surface 42, atransverse end face 46, and a plurality of slots 48 extending longitudinally inward from the end face to define a plurality of radiallydeflectable fingers 50 and a plurality ofradial faces 49. - The
locking sleeve 20 includes a generallycylindrical body 22 and anannular flange 24 havingendwall 26 extending radially inward therefrom, theinner surface 23 of the body being defined by a diameter wD8 slightly smaller in size than a diameter "E" defining the outer periphery of the rearward end portion, whereby the sleeve may be interference mounted onto the rearward end portion 38. Theflange 24 defines apassage 25 which communicates with the interior cavity of the body and has a diameter slightly greater than that of the cable outer diameter to be slidably fit thereover. - To retain the cable end portion within the connector assembly the
fingers 50 define a plurality of gripping portions 52 which extend radially inward from theinner surface 42 for gripping into theouter covering 14 of the cable when the cable end portion is inserted into thebore 40. As shown, the gripping portions comprise a helical screw thread of the type having a V-shaped cross-section and which, but for the slots 48, would form a continuous helix which spirals axially rearward from theend face 46 to a location on theinner surface 42 of the shell axially inward of the slot ends. Mounting of the sleeve onto the rearward end portion 38 drives thefingers 50 radially inward and the gripping portions 52 thereof into the outer covering of the cable. The thread form, by virtue of its V-shape extends between opposite radial faces defining the finger and provides a pair of axial faces 53 which prevent axial movement of the cable end relative to the bore. The radial faces prevent rotational movement of the cable and relative to the bore. - The
end wall 26 ofannular flange 24 forms a limit on the inward axial advance oflocking sleeve 20 about the rearward end portion 38 of the shell. - Tapered
surfaces 47 onend faces 46 offingers 50 define a cam which, when the fingers are driven against the locking sleeve, deflects the fingers radially inward. A washer 32 serves to seal around the shell and adjacent the locking sleeve. - FIGURE 2 shows a completed assembly wherein the
locking sleeve 20 has been inserted over the rearward end portion 38 and thebody 22 driven longitudinally inward of theend face 46 to drive thefingers 50 radially inward. The cable end portion is shown partially in section to show penetration of the V-shaped thread 52 into theouter covering 14. Further,endwall 26 ofsleeve 20 is abuttingend face 46 ofshell 34. - FIGURE 3 is an end view in section showing the thread form 52 biting into the outer covering 14 of the cable. As noted, the axial faces 53 and
radial faces 49 not only serve to retain within thebore 40 of the connector but prevent axial and angular movement of the cable relative thereto. - FIGURE 4 shows an alternate embodiment including a
locking sleeve 54 and ashell 64 including acoupling nut 62 rotatably mounted to its outer periphery. The locking sleeve includes a generallycylindrical body 56 having aninner surface 57 and anannular flange 58 extending radially inward to define apassage 59 and an inner endwall 60. Theshell 64 is generally cylindrical slots/fingers or spacing could be other than shown depending on the gripping desired.
