ELECTRONIC APPARATUS IMPROVED IN DURABILITY OF SOLDER JOINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240347945 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS IMPROVED IN DURABILITY OF SOLDER JOINT

The abstract describes an image capturing apparatus with an HDMI flexible circuit, an HDMI connector, a plug, a main base, and a reinforcing member. The HDMI connector and the HDMI flexible circuit can move in a direction orthogonal to the mounting surface between the main base and the reinforcing member.

HDMI flexible circuit with mounting surface
HDMI connector mounted on the mounting surface
Plug for insertion and removal
Main base with mounting portion parallel to the mounting surface
Reinforcing member covering the HDMI connector from the opposite side
Movement of HDMI connector and flexible circuit in orthogonal direction
Minimum clearance between reinforcing member and HDMI connector

Potential Applications: - Image capturing devices - Electronic devices with HDMI connectivity

Problems Solved: - Secure mounting and movement of HDMI components - Protection of HDMI connector during use

Benefits: - Improved durability and reliability - Enhanced user experience with secure connections

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Image Capturing Devices with Secure HDMI Connectivity" This technology can be used in digital cameras, camcorders, and other imaging devices to ensure stable HDMI connections, improving overall performance and user satisfaction.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the reinforcing member enhance the durability of the HDMI connector? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond image capturing devices?

Original Abstract Submitted

an image capturing apparatus includes an hdmi flexible circuit having a mounting surface, an hdmi connector mounted on the mounting surface of the hdmi flexible circuit, a plug being capable of being inserted therein and removed therefrom, a main base having a mounting portion substantially parallel to the mounting surface, and a reinforcing member that includes part covering the hdmi connector from an opposite side to the mounting portion in a direction orthogonal to the mounting surface and is fixed to the main base. the hdmi connector and the hdmi flexible circuit can move in the direction orthogonal to the mounting surface between the main base and the reinforcing member. in the direction orthogonal to the mounting surface, a minimum clearance between the reinforcing member and the hdmi connector is smaller than a minimum clearance between the reinforcing member and the hdmi flexible circuit.
