Electrical Connector Assembly with Segmented Shielding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrical connector assemblies with different specifications are difficult to separate and combine conveniently, making them inefficient for individual or combined use.
Innovation Solution
The electrical connector assembly features a first metal casing with a first accommodating cavity for a USB type C signal connector and a second metal casing with a fixing portion attached to the first casing, allowing easy separation and combination of the connectors, with the second casing wrapping the periphery of a radio frequency signal connector for improved shielding and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If multiple electrical connectors of different specifications are accommodated in the same shielding casing, then the shielding effect is improved, but the ease of separation and combination of connectors deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The shielding casing is divided into multiple independent cavities, each accommodating a different electrical connector. Each cavity is separated by partition walls, allowing connectors to be independently accessed, removed, or installed while maintaining the overall shielding structure. This segmentation enables convenient separation and combination of connectors while preserving the shielding effect.
2Stability of the object's composition
If electrical connectors of different specifications are fixed together, then the stability of the assembly is improved, but the adaptability to different usage scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connector assembly incorporates movable connectors within the shielding casing. Connectors can be dynamically adjusted between different positions or removed entirely based on usage requirements. The casing includes guiding structures and fixing mechanisms that allow connectors to be securely positioned when needed while enabling easy reconfiguration for different application scenarios.
3Device complexity
If multiple electrical connectors are integrated into a single assembly, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of manufacture and assembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The shielding casing is divided into modular sections with standardized interfaces. Each electrical connector can be manufactured and tested independently, then assembled into the casing using standardized mounting procedures. This modular segmentation simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing parallel production of different connector types while maintaining a unified final assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The shielding casing is designed with universal mounting structures and standardized cavity dimensions that can accommodate different types of electrical connectors. The same basic casing design and assembly procedures can be used across multiple product variants, simplifying manufacturing processes while maintaining the ability to integrate different connector types as needed.

AI summary
An electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting to a chip module, includes a first metal casing having a first accommodating cavity, a first electrical connecting base received in the first accommodating cavity, a second metal casing having a second accommodating cavity, and a second electrical connecting base received in the second accommodating cavity. The second metal casing includes a fixing portion fixed to an outer surface of the first metal casing, and the second metal casing is fixed onto a circuit board. The first and second electrical connecting bases mate with first and second mating plugs. The first and second mating plugs are configured to transmit signals of different specifications. It is convenient to separate or combine the first electrical connecting base and the second connecting base.
