CONNECTOR SEATING DETECTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17971890 titled 'CONNECTOR SEATING DETECTION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a connector seating detection system that can detect whether a connector is properly seated in a port.

  • The device has a port with port communication contacts.
  • A connector seating sensor is located near the port.
  • A connector seating detection subsystem is connected to the sensor.
  • When a connector is not properly engaged with the port communication contacts, an unseated connector signal is generated.
  • When a connector is properly engaged with the port communication contacts, a seated connector signal is generated.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Data centers
  • Telecommunications
  • Industrial automation

Problems Solved

  • Ensures proper connection of connectors
  • Prevents data loss or signal interference

Original Abstract Submitted

A connector seating detection system includes a device having a port that includes at least one port communication contact. A connector seating sensor is located adjacent the port. A connector seating detection subsystem is coupled to the connector seating sensor. When a connector is positioned in the port while not engaging at least one port communication contact by a threshold amount, the connector seating detection subsystem receives an unseated connector signal from the connector seating sensor and, in response, generates an unseated connector indication. When a connector is positioned in the port while engaging at least one port communication contact the threshold amount, the connector seating detection subsystem receives a seated connector signal from the connector seating sensor and, in response, generates a seated connector indication.
