POWER CONNECTOR HAVING AN EMI ENCLOSURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040756 titled 'POWER CONNECTOR HAVING AN EMI ENCLOSURE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a power connector that includes a housing with a socket to receive a power plug. The connector also has an electrical component that generates heat and is connected to a power contact in the socket. An EMI (electromagnetic interference) enclosure is coupled to the housing and provides EMI shielding for the electrical component. The EMI enclosure has walls that define a chamber where the housing, power contacts, and electrical component are received. The EMI enclosure includes a flap that extends into the chamber and is thermally coupled to the electrical component to dissipate heat.

  • The power connector includes a housing with a socket to receive a power plug.
  • An electrical component that generates heat is held by the housing and connected to a power contact in the socket.
  • An EMI enclosure is coupled to the housing and provides EMI shielding for the electrical component.
  • The EMI enclosure has walls that define a chamber where the housing, power contacts, and electrical component are received.
  • The EMI enclosure includes a flap that extends into the chamber and is thermally coupled to the electrical component to dissipate heat.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Power connectors for electronic devices, such as laptops, desktop computers, or mobile devices.
  • Industrial power connectors for machinery or equipment that generate heat.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Heat dissipation in power connectors, which can prevent overheating and potential damage to the electrical component.
  • EMI shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure proper functioning of the electrical component.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability and durability of power connectors.
  • Enhanced safety by preventing overheating and potential electrical failures.
  • Reduced electromagnetic interference for better performance of electronic devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

a power connector includes a housing having a front wall including a socket configured to receive a power plug. the power connector includes an electrical component held by the housing being electrically connected to a power contact in the socket. the electrical component is a heat generating component. the power connector includes an emi enclosure coupled to the housing. the emi enclosure has walls defining a chamber. the housing, power contacts, and electrical component are received in the chamber. the walls of the emi enclosure provide emi shielding for the electrical component. the emi enclosure includes a flap extending from a wall of the emi enclosure into the chamber having a flap thermal interface thermally coupled to the electrical component to dissipate heat from the electrical component.
