Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional connector adaptors experience poor contact due to uneven forces during assembly, leading to center pin deviation and slow assembly speed.

Innovation Solution

Incorporation of locating columns and through-holes in the connector circuit board design, allowing for precise alignment and fixation of the center pin within the conductive layers without requiring manual adjustment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the position of the center pin is checked repeatedly during fastening to minimize deflection, then contact precision is improved, but assembly speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Locating columns are pre-installed on the board to establish precise positional guidance for the center pin before fastening occurs, eliminating the need for repeated position checks during assembly while ensuring accurate alignment with the conductive contact range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Through-holes serve as intermediary positioning features that guide the fastening process and maintain center pin alignment, acting as a mechanical reference system that eliminates the need for manual position verification during assembly

AI summary

A connector circuit board has multiple positioning connector adaptors, a circuit board and multiple fixing parts. The positioning connector adaptor has a casing, an insulator, a center pin and a board. The insulator is mounted in the casing. The center pin is mounted through the insulator. One side of the board is connected to one end of the casing, and the center pin is mounted through the board. The board has two through-holes and two locating columns. The two through-holes penetrate through the board. The two locating columns are mounted on one side of the board, and the two locating columns protrude away from the casing. The circuit board is connected to the positioning connector adaptors and comprises multiple apertures. Each of the locating columns is mounted through one of the apertures. The fixing parts are mounted through each of the through-holes.
