13 results about "Low insertion force" patented technology

Low insertion force (LIF) is a technology used in integrated circuit sockets that are designed so the force required to insert or remove a package is low. Initially, the LIF connectors were designed as a cheaper alternative compared to zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors, to facilitate programming and testing of equipment. Compared with standard IC sockets, they achieve a lower friction force between the contacts of the device and the socket, making insertion and removal of the device easier, while at the same time eliminating the need for the complex mechanism that is used in ZIF sockets.

Quick connector with low insertion force holding element

PendingDE102025128440A1CouplingsLow insertion forceClassical mechanics
A connector (10) for coupling a tube (12) to a receptacle comprises an end piece (14) formed at the end of the tube (12), which is arranged such that it can be inserted into the receptacle in an assembly position and slid into a latched position. A retaining element surrounds the receptacle and has first and second legs (62) that extend into the receptacle. The legs (62) each have a cross-section with a first minor axis that is smaller than a second major axis. The end piece (14) engages the minor axis of the legs (62) and presses the legs (62) into a spread state, while the end piece (14) slides from the assembly position into the latched position. In the latched position, the legs (62) retract into a relaxed state and are engaged in a groove (13, 50) in the end piece.

Vertical Module Connector with Pin-Clamp Mechanism

PendingUS20260112829A1Coupling device connectionsCoupling device engaging/disengagingDIMMLow insertion force
Systems and techniques for vertical module connectors with pin-clamp mechanisms are described. An example module connector includes two cross-members, with each cross-member including at least one row of pins. Upon insertion, the pins are arranged to make electrical contact with pins on a memory module (e.g., a dual in-line memory module (DIMM)). The module connector also includes a clamping mechanism (e.g., a hinge assembly) that closes a first cross-member against or towards a second cross-member in response to or after insertion of the memory module. The module connector further includes a locking mechanism to maintain a closed state of the two cross-members and provide electrical contact between the row of pins on each cross-member and pins on the memory module. The described module connector allows for the insertion of memory modules with increased pins without reduced insertion force.

Quick plug adopting Y-shaped sealing

According to the quick plug adopting Y-shaped sealing, the Y-shaped sealing ring made of a high phenyl material is adopted to replace a traditional sealing structure, and the excellent sealing performance and the low insertion force characteristic under the high-pressure and wide-temperature working condition are achieved. Due to the pressure self-tightening design of the Y-shaped sealing ring, when the system pressure rises, a lip of the Y-shaped sealing ring is further attached to a matching surface, and the sealing effect is enhanced; the high-phenyl material endows the sealing ring with good elasticity retention capacity and medium resistance within the range of-70 DEG C to 100 DEG C, and sealing failure caused by low-temperature hardening and high-temperature softening is avoided; meanwhile, the friction coefficient of the Y-shaped structure is low, the insertion force in the insertion and extraction process is remarkably reduced, the operation hand feeling is improved, the insertion and extraction service life is prolonged, the overall structure is simple and reliable, and the connector is suitable for application scenes such as liquid cooling servers with strict requirements for sealing performance and temperature adaptability.
