Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the PIN and pad lengths are extended to ensure connection reliability, then the connector can accommodate manufacturing tolerances and assembly variations, but the signal quality deteriorates due to increased resonance and signal loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying the excess length of PIN and pad components to find the optimal balance. Through simulation and experimentation, the patent identifies specific length ranges (PIN excess: 0.5-2.0mm, pad excess: 0.3-1.5mm) that maintain connection reliability while minimizing signal degradation, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and signal quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustment capabilities through adjustable positioning structures that allow the excess portions of PIN and pad to be configured based on specific application requirements. This dynamic configuration enables the system to adapt to different signal frequency ranges and connection scenarios, optimizing both reliability and signal quality for each case.
2Loss of substance
If the excess portion of PIN and pad is reduced to minimize material costs and improve signal quality, then material costs decrease and signal loss is reduced, but the connector becomes more sensitive to manufacturing tolerances and assembly variations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses parameter changes to identify optimal length thresholds that reduce material usage while maintaining robustness. By analyzing the relationship between excess length and tolerance sensitivity, the patent determines that specific length ranges (PIN: 0.5-2.0mm, pad: 0.3-1.5mm) provide sufficient margin for manufacturing variations without excessive material consumption, thus resolving the contradiction between cost efficiency and manufacturing precision.
3Ease of operation
If the excess portion of PIN and pad is extended to ensure adequate connection coverage, then assembly ease is improved, but signal transmission performance deteriorates due to resonance and insertion loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the excess length parameters to achieve the minimum required for easy assembly while preventing signal degradation. Through systematic analysis, the patent establishes that PIN excess lengths of 0.5-2.0mm and pad excess lengths of 0.3-1.5mm provide adequate coverage for assembly ease without exceeding the threshold that causes resonance and insertion loss, thus resolving the contradiction between assembly ease and signal transmission performance.
