Connector Shielding Sleeve Extension for Manual Disassembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing cylindrical electrical connectors with conductive shielding sleeves are difficult to disassemble manually due to the shielding sleeve being housed within the metal housing, making it hard to remove, and this difficulty leads to deformation and deterioration of the sealing sleeve.
Innovation Solution
The conductive shielding sleeve is designed to extend partially outside the housing when fully mounted, allowing for easy manual removal, and a configuration with a lip and groove facilitates proper positioning of the sealing sleeve and clamping ring for improved sealing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the conductive shielding sleeve is housed within the metal housing, then the electromagnetic shielding is provided and the structure is compact, but the disassembly becomes difficult and manual removal is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive shielding sleeve is extracted partially from the metal housing by extending its outer end beyond the housing exterior. This allows users to manually grasp and remove the shielding sleeve for disassembly, while maintaining electromagnetic shielding when installed. The shielding function is preserved during operation, but accessibility is improved for maintenance.
2Volume of stationary object
If the conductive shielding sleeve is housed within the metal housing, then the structure is compact, but the sealing sleeve cannot be properly positioned and deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive shielding sleeve is preliminarily positioned with its outer end extending beyond the housing exterior, creating a predetermined accessible location. This preliminary positioning enables the sealing sleeve to be properly located adjacent to the shielding sleeve during assembly, preventing deterioration and ensuring proper sealing function.

AI summary
A connector comprises a housing, a connector body disposed in the housing, a conductive terminal disposed in the connector body, and a conductive shielding sleeve. The conductive shielding sleeve is disposed in the housing such that at least a part of an outer end of the conductive shielding sleeve extends to an exterior of the housing when the conductive shielding sleeve is fully mounted in the housing.
