Capacitor Holder Groove Structure for Flexible Board Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing semiconductor storage devices face challenges in improving design flexibility due to the need for precise alignment and fixation of capacitors, which complicates the design process when capacitors of varying dimensions are used.
Innovation Solution
The semiconductor storage device incorporates a holder with annular-shaped grooves that engage with edges of a board notch, allowing adjustable positioning of capacitors, reducing the need for redesigning the notch and holder even when capacitor dimensions change.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the capacitor is precisely aligned and fixed using traditional socket or soldering methods, then the connection reliability is improved, but the design flexibility and adaptability to varying capacitor lengths deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is divided into a body portion and a groove structure, where the groove can engage with different edges of the notch. This segmentation allows the same holder to accommodate capacitors of varying lengths by engaging with different edges, maintaining both connection reliability and design flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed with a universal groove structure that can engage with either the first edge or the second edge of the notch depending on the capacitor length. This multi-functionality allows a single holder design to serve multiple capacitor configurations without requiring frequent changes in socket sizes or soldering processes
2Adaptability or versatility
If the holder structure is changed frequently to adapt to varying capacitor lengths, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holder incorporates a universal groove structure that can engage with different edges of the notch, allowing a single holder design to adapt to varying capacitor lengths. This eliminates the need for multiple holder configurations or frequent changes in socket sizes, reducing device complexity while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The groove structure is designed to be dynamically engageable with different edges of the notch based on the capacitor length. This dynamic engagement capability allows the holder to adapt to varying capacitor configurations without requiring physical changes to the holder structure itself, simplifying manufacturing
3Adaptability or versatility
If the notch or holder configuration is altered to accommodate different capacitor lengths, then the adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing precision and consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is segmented into a body portion and a groove structure that can engage with different edges of the notch. This segmentation maintains consistent manufacturing dimensions for the holder body while allowing the groove to adapt to different capacitor lengths, preserving manufacturing precision and consistency
Solution Approach 2:
The groove structure is designed to engage partially with different edges of the notch depending on the capacitor length. This partial engagement approach allows adaptability to varying capacitor lengths while maintaining consistent manufacturing precision for the holder's primary structure, avoiding the need to alter the entire holder configuration
