Contacts and Connectors - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240047898 titled 'Contacts and Connectors

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a contact for electrically connecting two objects, where the contact includes a main body connected to the first object and a joint portion protruding towards the second object. The joint portion is joined to the second object using solder, and it has an anchor-shaped contour. The anchor shape defines a normal vector that extends in the opposite direction to the protruding direction of the joint portion.

• The contact is designed to connect two objects electrically.
• It consists of a main body connected to the first object and a joint portion protruding towards the second object.
• The joint portion is joined to the second object using solder.
• The contour of the joint portion is in an anchor shape, which defines a normal vector.
• The normal vector includes a component that extends in the opposite direction to the protruding direction of the joint portion.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Electrical connections in electronic devices.
• Circuit board assembly.
• Automotive wiring connections.
• Aerospace and aviation electrical systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Provides a reliable and secure electrical connection between two objects.
• Ensures proper alignment and stability of the joint portion.
• Reduces the risk of disconnection or damage to the electrical connection.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved electrical conductivity and signal transmission.
• Enhanced mechanical strength and durability of the connection.
• Simplified assembly process due to the anchor-shaped contour.
• Increased resistance to external forces and vibrations.

Original Abstract Submitted

a contact for electrically connecting a first object and a second object includes a main body adapted to be connected to the first object, and a joint portion protruding from the main body toward the second object. the joint portion is adapted to be joined to the second object via solder. a part or portion of a contour of the joint portion is formed in an anchor shape. the anchor shape defines a normal vector including a vector component extending in an opposite direction to a protruding direction of the joint portion.
