AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Repeated contact between the guide pin and the threads of the engaging screw will damage the threads, which in turn makes it difficult or impossible to screw the threads into the connector bore
Also, the guide pin is arranged to have some slight movement, which results in some tilting movement, which in turn affects the guiding function of the part

Embodiment Construction

[0026] In one embodiment the invention includes a connector arrangement or assembly 10 comprising two connector parts 12, 14 of the general type described above. The connector components 12, 14 cooperate to interconnect, for example, cable wires with a panel using interconnecting pins corresponding to each wire and pin-receiving portions, the panel including, for example, receptacles and tubes well known to those skilled in the art. Socket or edge mounted connector parts. In the present invention, the guides of the connector parts are integral with the fasteners so that the connector parts can be securely aligned with each other and repeatedly connected without damage while using minimal spacing in the area adjacent to the connectors. These and other aspects and features of the invention are described in detail below.

[0027] A connector part as described above may be provided on the end of a cable, or on a circuit board, panel, backplane, transceiver or any other location w...

Abstract

The connector shell for a connector component of a connector arrangement for a wire cable comprises a housing; the housing being provided with at least one first guiding element having an axis for guiding the housing along a second guiding element of a mating connector component of the connector arrangement upon coupling with the mating connector component; and at least one fastening element associated to the at least one first guiding element and substantially aligned with the axis of the at least one first guiding element for engagement with the second guiding element of the mating connector component.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mating electrical connector components, and more particularly to a guide and connection system for connecting, for example, a cable connector to a mating connector on, for example, a circuit board, panel, backplane or the like. Background technique [0002] Cables comprising multiple wires, or pairs of wires, are typically terminated in connectors for forming a connection between those wires and a mating connector, for example, associated with a circuit board, faceplate, backplane, another cable, radio transceiver, etc. reliable connection. The cable connector may include components for securing the connector to the cable, separating and confining individual wires or pairs of wires, feeding and securing the wires to header and receptacle connector elements. Cable connectors of this general type and connectors normally connected to such connectors are disclosed in EP-A-0 074 205, EP-A-0 0311 041, EP-A-0 670 082 and EP-A...
