CONTACT GASKET, SSD CASE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18159975 titled 'CONTACT GASKET, SSD CASE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an SSD case with a contact gasket made of a conductive material that is elastic and placed in a space to make contact with both the upper and lower cases. The contact gasket consists of a lower case contact part that touches the lower case and an upper case contact part that extends from the lower case contact part and touches the upper case. One of these contact parts is fixed to the lower or upper case, while the other has a contact protrusion that touches the opposite case.

  • The patent describes an SSD case with a conductive contact gasket that ensures proper electrical contact between the upper and lower cases.
  • The contact gasket is made of an elastic conductive material, allowing it to maintain contact even under pressure or vibrations.
  • The lower case contact part touches the lower case, while the upper case contact part extends from it to touch the upper case, creating a continuous electrical path.
  • One of the contact parts is fixed to its respective case, while the other has a contact protrusion that touches the opposite case, further enhancing the electrical connection.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in the manufacturing of solid-state drives (SSDs) to ensure reliable electrical contact between the upper and lower cases.
  • It can also be used in other electronic devices that require a secure and stable electrical connection between different components.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The contact gasket solves the problem of unreliable electrical contact between the upper and lower cases of an SSD or other electronic devices.
  • It addresses the issue of potential signal loss or interruptions caused by poor contact between the cases.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The conductive contact gasket ensures a consistent and reliable electrical connection, improving the overall performance and reliability of the SSD or electronic device.
  • The elasticity of the contact gasket allows it to adapt to different pressures and vibrations, maintaining contact even in challenging environments.
  • The fixed attachment of one contact part and the contact protrusion on the other part enhance the stability and durability of the electrical connection.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is an SSD case which includes a contact gasket formed of a conductive material having elasticity and provided in a space so as to be brought into contact with an upper case and a lower case. The contact gasket includes a lower case contact part that makes contact with the lower case and an upper case contact part that extends from the lower case contact part and makes contact with the upper case. One of the lower case contact part and the upper case contact part is fixedly fastened to the lower case or the upper case in contact therewith, and a contact protrusion that protrudes toward the lower case or the upper case such that an end is brought into contact with the lower case or the upper case is formed on the other one of the lower case contact part and the upper case contact part.
