CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275175 titled 'CONNECTOR
The patent application aims to achieve a height reduction in a connector (F) with a female terminal fitting and a housing.
- Female terminal fitting includes a tab inserting portion for inserting a tab of a male terminal fitting and a first resilient contact piece to contact the tab.
- Housing includes a terminal accommodation chamber for the tab inserting portion and a deflection allowance space for resilient displacement of the contact piece.
- The deflection allowance space is formed within the upper wall portion of the housing.
Potential Applications: - Electrical connectors - Automotive wiring systems - Industrial machinery
Problems Solved: - Reducing the overall height of connectors - Ensuring proper contact between terminals - Allowing for resilient displacement of contact pieces
Benefits: - Space-saving design - Reliable electrical connections - Durable construction
Commercial Applications: Title: "Height-Reducing Connector for Efficient Wiring Systems" This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, electronics, and telecommunications for compact and reliable wiring solutions.
Prior Art: Research into similar connector designs and height-reducing technologies in the field of electrical connectors can provide valuable insights into the novelty of this innovation.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in connector technology, materials science, and miniaturization techniques to enhance the performance and efficiency of this height-reducing connector.
Questions about Height-Reducing Connector: 1. How does the deflection allowance space contribute to the resilience of the contact piece? The deflection allowance space allows for the contact piece to move freely, ensuring reliable contact with the tab.
2. What are the key differences between this height-reducing connector and traditional connectors in terms of design and functionality? This height-reducing connector focuses on minimizing overall height while maintaining robust electrical connections, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
It is aimed to achieve a height reduction. A connector (F) is provided with a female terminal fitting () and a housing (). The female terminal fitting () includes a tab inserting portion (), into which a tab () of a male terminal fitting () is inserted, and a first resilient contact piece () exposed on an outer surface of the tab inserting portion () and configured to resiliently contact the tab (). The housing () includes a terminal accommodation chamber () for accommodating the tab inserting portion (). A deflection allowance space () for allowing a resilient displacement of the resilient contact piece () is formed within a thickness range of an upper wall portion () defining the terminal accommodation chamber (), out of the housing ().
