Connector Converter Board Layout to Prevent Signal Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing connector converters experience signal interference during operation, which affects their performance.
Innovation Solution
The connector converter design includes a digital signal board and a power source board positioned side by side with output interfaces in between, electrically connected via pin headers. The connecting wire has a metal plate embedded in the digital signal board, secured with UV adhesive, to enhance stability and prevent signal interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the digital signal board and power source board are integrated in the same connector converter, then the device can perform both signal conversion and charging functions, but signal interference occurs between the digital circuit and power source circuit
Solution Approach 1:
The connector converter is divided into two independent boards: a digital signal board for signal conversion and a power source board for charging. These boards are positioned side by side and space apart from each other, allowing each to function independently without signal interference while maintaining dual functionality within a single device
2Volume of moving object
If the digital signal board and power source board are positioned close together to save space, then the device size is reduced, but signal interference between the two boards increases
Solution Approach 1:
The digital signal board and power source board are arranged side by side in a planar configuration rather than stacked vertically, creating spatial separation in the horizontal dimension. This dimensional arrangement reduces signal interference while maintaining compact overall device size
3Device complexity
If the connecting wire is directly connected to the digital signal board without additional components, then the device structure is simpler, but connection stability and signal integrity are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
A metal plate is introduced as an intermediary component between the connecting wire and the digital signal board. The metal plate is embedded in the digital signal board and provides a stable, shielded connection point that improves signal integrity and connection reliability without significantly increasing overall device complexity
