Vehicle Condenser Connector Noise Reduction Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional engine condensers in vehicles are limited by restrictive layout options and inadequate noise reduction performance, particularly when used to mitigate vehicular noise.
Innovation Solution
A condenser connector design that positions a condenser near the noise source, featuring a housing with an insertion part, a terminal, and a holder, where the condenser is mounted to the holder and in contact with the terminal, enhancing noise reduction by placing the condenser at the nearest possible location to the noise source.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a conventional engine condenser is used, then the layout is simple, but the noise reduction performance is insufficient and layout options are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the condenser with the connector housing into an integrated assembly. The condenser is mounted directly on the housing and positioned to be electrically connected to the terminal, eliminating the need for separate condenser installation and enabling optimal noise reduction at the noise source while maintaining layout simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing serves as an intermediary structure that simultaneously provides mechanical support for the connector and mounting for the condenser. This intermediary structure enables the condenser to be positioned optimally for noise reduction while maintaining the simplicity of the overall layout.
2Ease of operation
If the condenser is positioned away from the noise source, then the layout is easier, but the noise elimination performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the condenser mounting function with the connector housing, the design enables the condenser to be positioned at the optimal location near the noise source without complicating the layout. The integrated structure makes the complex positioning simple to achieve.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing is designed to serve multiple functions: providing structural support for the connector, mounting the condenser, and positioning the condenser optimally for noise reduction. This multi-functionality achieves both easy layout and superior noise elimination.

Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed herein is a condenser connector for a vehicle, in which a condenser is installed at a position which is nearest or virtually nearest to a noise source, thus effectively eliminating or reducing noise. The condenser connector includes a housing having an insertion part. One end of a terminal is connected to a wire, and the other end thereof is fitted into and secured to one end of the insertion part. A holder is fitted into and secured to the other end of the insertion part. A condenser has a contact terminal which is in contact with the terminal, and is mounted to the holder.
