ELECTRICAL SOCKET ASSEMBLY Filed Aug. 30, 1952 III II I
lNvENToR: WILLIAM H. FLANAGAN JR.
BY Wan 0 ATTORNEY.
Patented 1 2 l and is provided with an inwardly crimped portion ELECTRICAL SOCKET ASSEMBLY William H. Flanagan, Jr., Newton, Mass., assignor to United-Carr Fastener Corporation, Cambridge, Mass., a corporation of Massachusetts Application August 30, 1952, Serial No. 307,297 Claims. (Cl. 339-217) This invention relates generally to electrical sockets, and has particular reference to a socket adapted to re- 1cekive and make electrical contact to a test probe or the The object of the invention is to provide a socket of this general type which is economical to assemble and is readily adapted for mounting onto a test panel or the like.
A further object of the invention is to provide a socket in which inner and outer conductors are separated by a resilient insulating member and are self-retained thereon.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a socket assembly having a center conductor and an enclosing insulating member which has interlocking means to prevent relative axial movement therebetween, with an outer conducting shell disposed about the insulating member with means thereon retaining the interlocking means in engagement.
Other objects of the invention will, in part, be obvious, and will, in part, appear hereinafter.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a socket member embodying the features of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a view of the socket member of Fig. l as seen from the right end;
gig. 3 is a view in section taken on line 33 of Fig. 2; an
Fig. 4 is a view in section similar to Fig. 3 in which the socket is assembled onto a test panel, with a lead wire connected thereto and a test probe inserted therein.
Referring to the drawing, there is illustratedsocket 10, which is adapted for assembly into atest panel 12 or the like, to receive and make electrical contact to an inserted test probe 14.
The socket comprises generally acenter conductor 16, aninsulating member 18 disposed about the center conductor, and anouter conducting shell 20 disposed about the insulating member.
Thecenter conductor 16 comprises a series of longitudinally extendingresilient arms 22 at one end, forming acentral aperture 24 to receive the test probe 14, and aterminal portion 26 at the other end to receive anelectrical lead wire 28. Intermediate the arms and the terminal portion, aperipheral recess 30 is provided in the center conductor, which extends an appreciable distance longitudinally thereon.
The insulatingmember 18 is preferably formed of a resilient organic plastic such as nylon, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, or the like, which is sufliciently resilient to permit assembly thereof, but has suflicient strength to retain the parts in assembly as will appear hereinafter.
The insulating member comprises generally a cylindrical arm-enclosingportion 32 having aninternal cavity 34 receiving thearms 22, and anend portion 36 disposed about the portion of the center conductor having therecess 30. Theend portion 36 is provided with a restrictedopening 38 extending from the end of the insulating member to the central cavity, thereby forming an internal peripheral flange-like portion 40 seated in therecess 30 of the center conductor. At the opposite end of the insulating member, a radially extendingflange 42 is pro- .vided for a purpose to appear hereinafter.
Theouter shell 20 is disposed about thecylindrical armenclosing portion 32, and has a radially extendingflange portion 44 at one end disposed against theflange 42 of the insulating member. The other end of the outer shell terminates about theend portion 36 of the insulating mem- 46, which protrudes into the end portion about therecess 30 in the insulating member. The outer surface of the outer shell is preferably provided withthreads 48, to permit anut 50 to be assembled thereon.
In the illustrated construction, the interlockingflangelike portion 40 of the insulating member and therecess 30 of the center conductor prevent longitudinal movement therebetween, and the inwardly crimpedend 46 of the outer shell both retains the flange-like portion in the recess and retains the outer shell in assembly thereon.
The various parts of illustrated socket assembly are easily assembled, since the resiliency of the plastic insulating member permits the flange-like portion of the insulator to be snapped over an end of the center conduc tor to seat in the recess, and thereafter, the assembly of the outer shell and the crimping of the end thereof about the flange-like portion retains the parts in secure assembly, with no additional retaining rings or collars being necessary.
As illustrated in Fig. 4, the socket is easily assembled into a test panel opening by means of thenut 50, so that the panel is gripped between the nut and theflange 44 on the end of the outer shell. Theradial flange 42 on the insulating member prevents accidental shorting between the outer shell and the inner conductor by an inserted test probe, and also cooperates with the crimpedend 46 in preventing axial movement between the insulating member and the outer shell.
Since certain obvious modifications may be made in the device without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained herein be interpreted in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
