CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18563446 titled 'CONNECTOR
The abstract describes a connector with multiple terminals, wires, a housing with an opening, and a cover that includes a vent covered by a breathable film. The cover body has an inner wall surrounding the film and an outer wall surrounding the cover body's edge. The inner wall has a discharge port for communication, and the outer wall has a discharge port for communication orthogonal to the Z-axis direction.
- The connector has multiple terminals and wires for electrical connections.
- The housing includes an opening covered by a cover with a vent and a breathable film.
- The cover body has inner and outer walls, with discharge ports for communication in different directions.
- The inner wall allows communication between inside and outside in a direction orthogonal to the Z-axis.
- The outer wall allows communication between inside and outside in a direction orthogonal to the Z-axis.
Potential Applications: - Electrical connectors in various electronic devices - Automotive wiring systems - Industrial machinery connections
Problems Solved: - Ensures proper ventilation within the connector - Prevents moisture buildup - Protects the terminals and wires from environmental factors
Benefits: - Improved reliability of electrical connections - Enhanced durability of the connector - Reduced risk of short circuits
Commercial Applications: Title: "Ventilated Connector for Enhanced Electrical Connections" This technology can be used in various industries such as electronics, automotive, and manufacturing for reliable and durable electrical connections.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the breathable film in the cover contribute to the overall functionality of the connector?
- The breathable film allows for ventilation while protecting the internal components from environmental factors.
2. What advantages does the design with inner and outer walls with discharge ports offer compared to traditional connectors?
- The design allows for improved communication and ventilation within the connector, enhancing its performance and longevity.
Original Abstract Submitted
A connector according to the present disclosure is provided with a plurality of terminals, a plurality of wires, a housing including a tubular portion having an opening, and a cover for covering the opening by being inserted into the tubular portion. The cover includes a cover body having a vent, and a breathable film for covering the vent. The cover body includes an inner wall surrounding an outer periphery of the breathable film and an outer wall located on an outer peripheral side of the inner wall and surrounding an outer peripheral edge of the cover body. The inner wall includes an inner discharge port allowing communication between inside and outside of the inner wall in a direction orthogonal to a Z-axis direction. The outer wall includes an outer discharge port allowing communication between inside and outside of the outer wall in a direction orthogonal to the Z-axis direction.
