  • Patent number: 12580119
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (20) for electrically isolating and mechanically stabilizing a plug-in coil element (10), wherein the plug-in coil element (10) has a coil (13) having a winding body (30), a first coil end (15) and a second coil end (16), as well as a first connecting element (11) for electrically connecting to a connecting element along a plug-in direction (S), and a second connecting element (12) for electrically connecting along the plug-in direction (S), wherein the winding body (30) has a first winding body end (31) and a second winding body end (32), and the first coil end (15) is formed to be spaced from the first winding body end (31), and the second coil end (16) is formed to be spaced from the second winding body end (32), wherein the first connecting element (11) is connected to the first coil end (15), and the second connecting element (12) is connected to the second coil end (16), moreover having protruding from a housing opening (39) to the outside, a sheathing portion (21)

  • Publication number: 20260056429
    Abstract: This disclosure provides an electrical connection structure of one or more segments of intelligent dimming films, which specifically comprises a dimming film body, a flexible circuit board and a control unit. Among them, U-shaped long grooves are designed between the independent circuits of the flexible circuit board, and ventilation holes are set on the conductive adhesive film layer connecting the dimming film body and the flexible circuit board. The design of the electrical conduction structure of the dimming film of this disclosure not only uses ACF conductive adhesive lamination instead of solder paste welding technology to avoid the risk of circuit false soldering, but also performs special design on FPC and ACF conductive adhesive to improve the operating stability of the dimming film and avoid the risk of short circuit and open circuit caused by line connection.

  • Publication number: 20250374440
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming an electrical and mechanical connection arrangement of at least two flexible PCBs or flexible PCB segments, each consisting of a composite of a base insulating layer, an electrically conductive structure, in particular conducting tracks, and a cover insulating layer. The top insulating layer is exposed or removed in a section of the connection area in order to obtain contact surfaces. Using reinforcement and positioning layers and after correct positioning by means of positioning marks, a joining and laminating step is carried out in order to achieve a secure and flexible connection.
