Receptacle Connector Cable Clamping Module Offset Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing receptacle connectors with cable-clamped structures fail to securely clamp network cables of varying diameters, especially when the cables are offset, due to compressible springs or complex engaging structures that may not ensure consistent contact.
Innovation Solution
A receptacle connector with a cable-clamped structure featuring a pair of clamping members and an adjustable cable clamper, where the cable clamper is positioned by a positioning structure after clamping, ensuring the cable is clamped between the members, even if offset, using a pivoted design with a pressing portion and positioning portions that adjust to different cable diameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple engaging structures are added to ensure cable contact, then contact consistency is improved, but the parts of the connector are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning structure serves multiple functions: it positions the cable clamper relative to the first clamping member, ensures consistent contact with the cable, and provides a simple adjustment mechanism. This multi-functionality achieves contact consistency without adding multiple separate engaging structures
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning structure allows adjustment of the cable clamper's position parameter, enabling it to adapt to different cable diameters and offset conditions. This parameter adjustment capability provides contact consistency through a single adjustable component rather than multiple fixed structures
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively secures network cables of different diameters, ensuring reliable electrical connection and clamping, even when the cables are offset, by adjusting the clamper position to maintain contact and pressure, thus enhancing the stability and versatility of the connector.
Implementation Method 1
the cable clamper is pivoted to the first clamping member; the pressing portion presses the cable with the first positioning portion positioned in the second positioning portion of the first clamping portion

AI summary
A receptacle connector with a cable-clamped structure of the invention includes a housing, an electrical module and a cable clamping module. The electrical module is disposed in the housing and includes a circuit board, a plurality of contacting terminals and a plurality of prick type terminals. The circuit board is disposed in the housing. The contacting terminals and the prick type terminals are disposed on the printed circuit board. The cable clamping module includes a first clamping member, a second clamping member and a cable clamper, wherein the first clamping member engages the second clamping member, and the cable clamper is pivoted to the first clamping member. A cable extends through the first clamping member and the second clamping member engaging the first clamping member, the cable clamper presses the cable with the first positioning portion positioned in the second positioning portion of the first clamping portion.
