Patent

CA 2161690

Mounting arrangement for mounting an electrical compo- nent on a printed circuit board. The component is provided with at least one electrical terminal pin which extends in parallel re- lationship with conductive legs projecting from an underside of the component. The terminal pin is so spaced from the legs and so shaped or profiled that it is deflected laterally from the nor- mal position thereof as it moves into a plated through-hole in the printed circuit board while the conductive legs slidingly engage respective further plated through-holes. The shaping of the ter- minal pin allows the pin to return to its normal position relative to the conductive legs and thereby co-operate with the printed circuit board to retain the component securely in position when the component becomes fully mounted.

L'invention concerne un agencement pour le montage d'un composant électrique sur une plaquette à circuits imprimés. Le composant est pourvu d'au moins un plot de contact électrique disposé parallelement à des pattes conductrices faisant saillie depuis le bas du composant. Le plot de contact est espacé des pattes et il est formé ou profilé de manière à ce qu'il soit dévié latéralement de sa position normale à mesure qu'il pénètre dans le trou traversant métallisé de la plaquette à circuits imprimés, alors que les pattes conductrices s'engagent en glissant dans les trous traversants métallisés correspondants. La forme du plot de contact lui permet de retourner vers sa position normale par rapport aux pattes conductrices et de coopérer ainsi avec la plaquette à circuits imprimés pour retenir le composant fermement en position lorsque le composant est complètement monté.
