LOW PROFILE CABLE ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18564221 titled 'LOW PROFILE CABLE ASSEMBLY

The abstract describes a cable assembly consisting of two cables with conductors and insulators, as well as a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB has cable pads for each conductor to be in electrical communication with.

• The first conductor and insulator bend at least 30 degrees near the PCB first cable pad.
• The second conductor bends at least 30 degrees near the PCB second cable pad.
• The second insulator bends near the PCB second cable pad less than the second conductor does.

Potential Applications: - This cable assembly could be used in various electronic devices that require precise and reliable connections. - It can be utilized in telecommunications equipment, computer hardware, and other electronic systems.

Problems Solved: - Provides a secure and efficient way to connect cables to a PCB. - Ensures proper electrical communication between the cables and the PCB.

Benefits: - Improved reliability and durability of cable connections. - Simplifies the assembly process for electronic devices. - Reduces the risk of signal interference or loss.

Commercial Applications: - This technology could be valuable for manufacturers of electronic devices looking to enhance the quality and performance of their products.

Questions about the Cable Assembly: 1. How does the bending of the conductors and insulators near the PCB pads affect the overall performance of the cable assembly? 2. What are the specific industries or applications that could benefit the most from this innovative cable assembly design?

Original Abstract Submitted

A cable assembly is disclosed. The cable assembly includes a first cable including a first conductor and a first insulator, a second cable including a second conductor and a second insulator, and a printed circuit board (PCB). A PCB first cable pad is disposed on the PCB, and the first conductor is in electrical communication with the PCB first cable pad. A PCB second cable pad is disposed on the PCB, and the second conductor is in electrical communication with the PCB second cable pad. The first conductor and first insulator each bend at least 30 degrees proximate the PCB first cable pad, the second conductor bends at least 30 degrees proximate the PCB second cable pad, and the second insulator bends proximate the PCB second cable pad less than the second conductor does proximate the PCB second cable pad.
