Electronic Prototyping - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17849305 titled 'Electronic Prototyping

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes electronic prototyping platforms.

  • The platform includes an electrically insulative substrate with visible orientation features on both sides.
  • It has three mounting holes, each bordered by an electrical conductor associated with data transmission, electrical ground, and electrical power.
  • The substrate also has an edge connector tab with three exposed electrically conductive contacts.
  • These contacts are connected to the data conductor, ground conductor, and power conductor, and are insulated from each other.


Original Abstract Submitted

The description relates to electronic prototyping platforms. One example can include an electrically insulative substrate having generally opposing first and second major surfaces and that includes an orientation feature that is visible on both of the first and second major surfaces. The example can include a first mounting hole through the substrate that is bordered by a first electrical conductor associated with data transmission. The example can also include a second mounting hole through the substrate that is bordered by a second electrical conductor associated with electrical ground, and a third mounting hole through the substrate that is bordered by a third electrical conductor associated with electrical power. The example can also include an edge connector tab defined by the substrate and having three exposed electrically conductive contacts that are coupled to the data electrical conductor, the ground electrical conductor, and the power electrical conductor and insulated from one another.
