ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH VIBRATION DAMPENER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014594 titled 'ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH VIBRATION DAMPENER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electrical connector assembly that includes an electrical terminal attached to a wire cable, a connector housing with a cavity for the terminal, and a resilient damping element between the terminal and the cavity wall. The damping element is designed to reduce the amplitude and/or change the frequency of vibratory mechanical energy transmitted to the terminal through the wire cable.

  • The electrical connector assembly includes an electrical terminal, connector housing, and damping element.
  • The terminal is attached to a wire cable and is placed inside the cavity of the housing.
  • A resilient damping element is positioned between the terminal and the inner wall of the cavity.
  • The damping element is configured to reduce the amplitude and/or change the frequency of vibratory mechanical energy transmitted to the terminal.
  • The vibratory mechanical energy is transmitted through the wire cable attached to the terminal.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in various electrical connector applications, such as automotive connectors, aerospace connectors, and industrial connectors.
  • It can be beneficial in environments where vibratory mechanical energy is present, such as in vehicles, machinery, or equipment.

Problems Solved:

  • Vibratory mechanical energy transmitted through the wire cable can cause damage or interference to the electrical terminal.
  • This technology solves the problem by reducing the amplitude and/or changing the frequency of the vibratory mechanical energy, protecting the terminal from potential damage or interference.

Benefits:

  • Improved reliability and durability of electrical connectors by reducing the impact of vibratory mechanical energy.
  • Enhanced performance and functionality of electrical systems by minimizing the effects of vibration on the electrical terminal.
  • Increased lifespan of connectors and reduced maintenance requirements due to reduced wear and tear caused by vibratory mechanical energy.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electrical connector assembly includes an electrical terminal attached to a wire cable, a connector housing defining a cavity in which the electrical terminal is disposed, and a resilient damping element disposed intermediate the electrical terminal and an inner wall of the cavity. the damping element is configured to reduce the amplitude and/or change the frequency of vibratory mechanical energy transmitted to the electrical terminal in the electrical connector through the wire electrical cable attached to the terminal.
