Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If individual conductors are inserted into holes with radial components in the insulating body, then electrical contact can be achieved, but the assembly process becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The insulating body is divided into a connecting part and a contacting part that can be assembled separately. The connecting part contains axially parallel channels for easy conductor insertion, while the contacting part contains the insulation displacement terminals. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function, making assembly straightforward.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting part is prepared in advance with axially parallel channels that guide conductors directly into position. This preliminary structuring eliminates the need for complex radial insertion operations during final assembly, significantly reducing assembly time while ensuring reliable electrical contact when the contacting part is attached.
2Adaptability or versatility
If complex hole geometries are used in the insulating body, then conductor accommodation is possible, but insertion becomes difficult and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The insulating body is segmented into two functional parts: the connecting part with simple axially parallel channels for conductor insertion, and the contacting part with insulation displacement terminals. This segmentation simplifies the overall device complexity while maintaining the ability to accommodate multiple conductors efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of creating complex holes in a single insulating body to achieve both conductor accommodation and electrical contact, the invention inverts the approach by using simple axial channels in the connecting part and adding the contacting part with terminals separately. This reverse engineering approach simplifies the structure while achieving the same functional goals.
