Solution Overview

Problem

High frequency connectors face signal attenuation issues due to dielectric loss when insulation glue is used to route wires across high frequency electronic components on circuit boards, affecting signal transmission characteristics.

Innovation Solution

A high frequency connector design featuring a component protecting member with a case body and positioning pins that creates a containing space to isolate the electronic component from dielectric media, ensuring optimal signal transmission by blocking insulation glue and maintaining the dielectric medium around the component.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If insulation glue is used to route wires across high frequency electronic components, then wire routing flexibility is improved, but signal transmission characteristics deteriorate due to increased dielectric loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire routing flexibilityVSAvoidsignal transmission characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the circuit board area into two distinct zones: a first area without components where wires are routed, and a second area with high frequency electronic components. This segmentation prevents wires from crossing over sensitive components, eliminating the need for insulation glue while maintaining signal integrity. The circuit board is effectively partitioned to separate signal transmission paths from component mounting areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary structure (the first area without electronic components) that serves as a dedicated wire routing zone. This intermediary space acts as a buffer between the wires and the high frequency components, allowing flexible wire routing without direct contact or proximity to sensitive components, thus avoiding dielectric loss issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If wires are configured across high frequency electronic components to meet circuit board requirements, then circuit board layout flexibility is improved, but dielectric loss increases due to insulation glue coverage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit board layout flexibilityVSAvoiddielectric loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board is segmented into a first area for wire routing (without components) and a second area for high frequency electronic components. This spatial segmentation allows the wires to be routed flexibly in the first area without needing to cross over components in the second area, eliminating the requirement for insulation glue and preventing associated dielectric losses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by creating a specific zone (first area) with different functional properties - it is designated as a component-free zone optimized for wire routing. This local area has the quality of being free from electronic components, allowing wires to pass through without exposure to dielectric materials, while the rest of the board maintains normal component distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A high frequency connector includes a case, a circuit board, a component protecting member and a cable. The circuit board is configured in the case and includes an electronic component and a plurality of solder pads. The component protecting member includes a case body and is configured on the circuit board. One side of the case body has an opening, and a containing space is formed between the opening and the inner face of the case body. A crossing structure is formed by the outer surface of the other side of the case body. When the component protecting member is configured on the circuit board, the component protecting member covers the electronic component in the containing space to maintain the transmission characteristics of the electronic component.
