Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a conventional communication connector without cushion is used, then the structure is simple, but the twisted wires cannot be cut evenly affecting transmission performance
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion part is pre-installed in the communication connector at a position between the wire-accommodating space and the elastic locking tab. This preliminary placement of the cushion creates a predetermined cutting surface that guides the blade during the cutting operation, ensuring that twisted wires are cut evenly without requiring complex external cutting fixtures or procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The cushion part acts as an intermediary element between the blade and the twisted wires during cutting. It provides a uniform surface that the blade contacts, distributing the cutting force evenly across all twisted wires. This intermediary cushion prevents direct contact between the blade and the wires, ensuring consistent cutting depth and angle across multiple wires simultaneously.
2Manufacturing precision
If cushion parts are added to achieve even cutting, then the cutting precision improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion part is integrated with the abutting part to form a single combined component. This merging of the cushion function and the abutting function into one piece reduces the total number of separate components. The combined structure maintains both the cutting guidance function (cushion) and the positioning function (abutting) without requiring additional separate parts, thus improving cutting precision while minimizing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The cushion part serves multiple functions: it provides a cutting surface for even wire cutting, acts as a positioning element for the wires, and works in conjunction with the abutting part for structural support. This multi-functionality means that one component (the cushion) performs several roles that would otherwise require multiple separate parts, thereby improving cutting precision without proportionally increasing device complexity.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an improved structure of communication connector with cushion, including a body, electrically conductive terminals, an elastic locking tab, a wire-accommodating space, at least one cushion part and at least one abutting part. The body has an accommodating space, and the accommodating space has an opening. The electrically conductive terminals are disposed side by side on one side of the body, and each of the electrically conductive terminals extends into the accommodating space. The elastic locking tab is disposed on another side of the body opposite to the electrically conductive terminals. The wire-accommodating space communicates with the accommodating space, and an opening of the wire-accommodating space is disposed at the other end of the body. The at least one cushion part is disposed on the other end of the body. A position where the at least one cushion part is disposed is between the wire-accommodating space and the elastic locking tab. The at least one abutting part is disposed on the other end of the body. A position where the at least one abutting part is disposed is adjacent to the second opening. Through the above, after the twisted wires in the transmission line are arranged to be crimped, the excess twisted wires can be cut off evenly.
