Abstract:
A display apparatus in which a height of an AC socket protruding to a rear side of a printed circuit board is reduced and a power cord is provided to be in close contact with a product to provide a display apparatus in which a creeping distance is increased to prevent the printed circuit board from being damaged by a high voltage or a stroke of lightning.
Abstract:
A signal transmission system including: a first connector apparatus, and a second connector apparatus that is coupled with the first connector apparatus. The first connector apparatus and the second connector apparatus are coupled together to form an electromagnetic field coupling unit, and a transmission object signal is converted into a radio signal, which is then transmitted through the electromagnetic field coupling unit, between the first connector apparatus and the second connector apparatus.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a circuit board apparatus includes providing a circuit board that has a socket with at least one plated through-hole and providing a connector that has a housing with first and second connector interfaces that have, respectively, at least first and second connector contacts. The first connector interface opens into an interior of the housing such that there is a vapor path through the first connector interface and interior of the housing to the second connector contact at the second connector interface. The first connector contact is inserted through the resilient seal and into the plated through-hole such that the resilient seal intimately seals around the first connector contact to provide a barrier at the first connector interface into the vapor path.
Abstract:
An exemplary miniature support has upper and lower spaced-apart engagement surfaces each having at least a portion that are parallel to each other. Two supports each with an end supporting the upper engagement surface and another end supporting the lower engagement surface. The two supports have a spring-like property so that the upper and lower engagement surfaces can repeatedly move between an uncompressed state when not engaged to provide an interconnection and a compressed state when engaged between two opposing boards to provide an interconnection between the boards. The connector is preferably made using 3-D printing and may be integrally made as part of a board also made using the same 3-D printing. The support may have upper and lower engagement surfaces and at least one of the at least two supports that are conductive to establish connectivity between the upper and lower engagement surfaces.
Abstract:
A plastic component with at least one electrical contact element has a plastic body and at least one electrical strip conductor, by which the electrical contact element can be electrically connected. Provisions are made for the plastic component to be manufactured by a combined injection molding and metal casting method, in which the plastic body is manufactured by an injection molding method and the at least one electrical strip conductor is manufactured by a metal casting or metal injection molding method one after another. The component formed last is molded onto the component formed first. Further, a method for manufacturing a corresponding plastic component is described.
Abstract:
A modular electrical system for controlling a liquid crystal display (LCD) contained within a chassis. The system may include a backplane in communication with a power module and video module through connectors on the back plane and respective connectors on the modules. The system may also include a timing and control board (TCON) that is in communication with the backplane via conduction lines that are provided to carry power, video signals, etc., to the TCON. Guides may be provided to ensure proper alignment of the power module and video module with the backplane. In some embodiments, the power module and video module may include input and output connectors that facilitate connection of multiple displays in a daisy chain fashion.
Abstract:
A removable video module for a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) contained within a chassis and having a timing and control board (TCON) with a board edge connector and an access opening in the chassis. The module preferably having a video input connection and means for generating a Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) video. The video module also preferably has a board edge connector adapted to connect with the board edge connector on the TCON, where the video module is adapted to fit through the access opening to connect with the TCON. Other embodiments may utilize a backplane where the video module and a power module are adapted to connect with the backplane and electrically communicate with the rest of the display. Outputs for either the video signal, power supply, or both may be provided so that a plurality of displays may be daisy-chained together.
Abstract:
A circuit board has a socket with at least one plated through-hole. A connector includes a housing that has first and second connector interfaces with, respectively, at least first and second connector contacts. The first connector interface opens into an interior of the housing such that there is a vapor path through the first connector interface and the interior of the housing to the second connector contact at the second connector interface. A resilient seal is located at the first connector interface. The first connector contact extends through the resilient seal and into the plated through-hole. The resilient seal intimately seals around the first connector contact and provides a barrier at the first connector interface into the vapor path.
Abstract:
A reduced length memory card is provided. The memory card, comprising a memory circuit, a housing for said memory circuit, said housing defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end and insertable into a port of a digital device, and opposing sidewalls between the first end and the second end, and a plurality of electrical contacts in electrical communication with said memory circuit, said contacts exposed through apertures formed in a bottom surface of the housing extending between the first end and the second end, wherein the memory card is electrically compatible with a Secure Digital (SD) standard, and wherein a length of the card extending between the first end and the second end is less than a width of the card extending between the opposing sidewalls. The memory could comprise an extraction ridge along the first end of the card and exposed when the card is inserted into the port of the digital device.
