BOARD CONNECTOR AND DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18291741 titled 'BOARD CONNECTOR AND DEVICE
The abstract of this patent application describes a board connector designed to be mounted on a circuit board inside a metal enclosure. The connector includes a housing with an open receptacle, an outer conductor fixed to the housing, an insulating dielectric, an inner conductor, and a ground spring connected to the outer conductor. The ground spring has a contact point portion that resiliently contacts the enclosure.
- The board connector is mounted on a circuit board inside a metal enclosure.
- The connector includes a housing with an open receptacle and an outer conductor fixed to the housing.
- An insulating dielectric is disposed inside the outer conductor, along with an inner conductor.
- A ground spring is connected to the outer conductor and has a contact point portion that contacts the enclosure.
- The contact point portion of the ground spring has a curved surface shape projecting towards the enclosure.
Potential Applications: - Telecommunications equipment - Industrial machinery - Automotive electronics
Problems Solved: - Ensures secure and reliable electrical connections in harsh environments - Provides grounding for the circuit board within a metal enclosure
Benefits: - Enhanced durability and reliability of electrical connections - Improved performance in challenging conditions - Easy installation and maintenance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Rugged Board Connector for Harsh Environments" This technology can be used in telecommunications equipment, industrial machinery, and automotive electronics to ensure secure and reliable electrical connections in harsh environments.
