Solution Overview

Problem

The existing coaxial connectors require separate insulating parts for assembly, complicating the manufacturing and assembly processes.

Innovation Solution

A coaxial connector design where the insulating part is integrated with the coding housing, allowing the outer and inner conductor parts to be inserted from the plug-side end, eliminating the need for a separate insulating part and simplifying production and assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a separate insulating part is used for assembly, then the structural integrity and electrical insulation are ensured, but the manufacturing and assembly processes become complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing and assembly processVSAvoidnumber of separate parts
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The insulating part is merged with the coding housing to form a single integrated component. The housing is designed with an integrated insulating part that includes a receiving space for the conductor parts and coding features, eliminating the need for separate insulating components and simplifying the assembly process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If multiple separate parts are used, then the functional requirements are met, but the production time and assembly steps increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction and assembly efficiencyVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The housing and insulating part are combined into a single injection-molded component, reducing the number of assembly steps. The integrated design allows conductor parts to be directly inserted into the housing's receiving space without requiring separate insulating part assembly, thereby reducing production time and improving manufacturing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The invention relates to a coaxial plug connector comprising an inner conductor part (12), an outer conductor part (10) and an insulating part (26) made of a dielectric material that holds the inner conductor part (12) in a coaxial manner in relation to the outer conductor part (10). A coded housing (14) in which the outer conductor part (10) and the inner conductor part (12) are arranged, is provided. Said coaxial plug connector comprises a plug-sided end (16) for connecting to a complementary coaxial plug connector. According to the invention, the insulating part (26) is embodied as a single piece with the coded housing (14).
