Embodiment Construction

[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to accompanying drawing, wherein Fig. 1-4 has provided the first connector or receptacle connector 12 installed on the panel 14; Fig. 5-8 has provided and installed on the second panel 18 The second connector or plug connector 16. The two connectors 12 and 16 can be assembled as shown in FIG. 9 . After the connectors are assembled, the two panels are closely juxtaposed to each other as shown in FIG. 10 . Although this description refers to electrical connectors, it is not difficult to understand that the term "connector" here and in the claims is not limited to electrical connectors, and this concept in the present invention is also applicable to other connectors, such as optical fiber connectors, etc.

[0025] Based on the foregoing recognition, reference is first made to FIG. 1, wherein the receptacle connector 12 includes a housing 20 preferably made of an insulating material such as plas...

Abstract

A connector panel mounting system includes first and second panels each having a given thickness between respective insertion surfaces and mating surfaces thereof and an opening with a locating notch in an edge of the opening. First and second connectors each include dielectric housings insertable from the insertion surfaces of the respective panels to insertion positions into the respective openings. Each housing has an outwardly extending locating flange for passing through the locating notch of the opening in the respective panel as the housing is inserted thereinto. The housing of each connector is movable from its insertion position to a mounted position whereat the locating flange thereof abuts the mating surface of the respective panel. The housing of each connector has a recess aligned with the locating notch of the opening in the respective panel when the housing is in its mounted position. When the connectors are mated through the openings in their respective panels, the panels can be juxtaposed, with the locating flange of each connector mounted on its respective panel passing through the locating notch of the opposite panel and into the recess of the housing of the other connector.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to electrical connector products, and more particularly to a system for mounting an electrical connector assembly through a pair of side-by-side panels. Background technique [0002] Panel mounted electrical connectors typically include an insulative housing housing a plurality of electrically conductive terminals, and the housing also includes a mechanism for mounting the connector to a panel. Panel-mounted connectors can often be mounted through the panel with other electrical devices, such as another electrical connector, which is then mounted to a second panel, circuit board, cable or individual wire. [0003] The insulating housing is insertable along an axis from one surface of the panel into an insertion position in the opening in the panel. The housing has at least one radially extending positioning flange which can pass through the positioning portion of the opening when the housing is inserted. The ho...
