A DAMPER FOR A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17962927 titled 'A DAMPER FOR A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus, system, and method for a damper for a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) in a solid-state drive (SSD). The damper is designed to contact the PCBA, the enclosure of the SSD, and damp shock impulses applied to the SSD.

  • The invention involves a damper specifically designed for a PCBA in an SSD.
  • The damper is configured to absorb shock impulses and protect the components of the SSD.
  • The damper makes contact with both the PCBA and the enclosure of the SSD to effectively dampen shocks.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in various electronic devices that require protection from shock impulses, such as laptops, tablets, and other portable electronic devices.

Problems Solved

The damper helps prevent damage to the components of the SSD caused by shock impulses, increasing the durability and reliability of the device.

Benefits

- Enhanced protection for the PCBA in an SSD - Increased durability and reliability of electronic devices - Improved performance under harsh conditions

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized by manufacturers of electronic devices to enhance the durability and reliability of their products, potentially leading to increased customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art related to shock-absorbing mechanisms for electronic devices may exist, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does the damper impact the overall size and weight of the SSD?

The article does not address how the addition of the damper may affect the physical characteristics of the SSD, such as size and weight.

What materials are used in the construction of the damper?

The materials used in the damper's construction are not specified in the abstract.


Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a damper for a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). One example apparatus can include a PCBA of a solid state drive (SSD) and a damper configured to contact the PCBA, contact an enclosure of the SSD, and damp shock impulses applied to the SSD.
