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 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 a rear wall.
  • An outer conductor is fixed to the housing through the rear wall.
  • An insulating dielectric is disposed inside the outer conductor.
  • An inner conductor is located inside the dielectric.
  • A ground spring is connected to the outer conductor and has a contact point portion that contacts the enclosure.
