Attachment having a module and an electronics atachment

摘要

An adapter arrangement for electrically connecting an upwardly directed first contact on a horizontal printed circuit board assembly with a generally upwardly directed second contact on an electronics module mounted on the PCB assembly, including a rigid adapter housing adapted for mounting on one end of the module, which housing contains a generally vertical conductor having a lower end connected by a downwardly directed lower terminal with the PCB assembly first contact, and an upper end connected by a generally downwardly-directed upper terminal with the electronics module second contact, characterized in that the lower adapter terminal is vertical, and the upper adapter terminal is downwardly inclined by an acute angle relative to the vertical. In a second embodiment, the adapter is sectional and includes upper and lower sections. In a third embodiment, an auxiliary adapter section is connected between the upper adapter section and the electronics module.

主权项

1. A connector arrangement for electrically connecting an electronics module with a printed circuit board assembly, comprising:
(a) a horizontal general-planar printed circuit board assembly (3) including at least one upwardly directed first contact (31; 371); (b) a vertical generally-rectangular electronics module (2) mounted on said printed circuit board assembly, said electronics module having a first end (281) provided with at least one generally upwardly directed second contact (22); (c) adapter means (1) mounted on said electronics module first end for electrically connecting together said printed circuit board and said electronics module, said adapter means including a rigid housing (14) formed of insulating material, said adapter means housing containing at least one generally vertical conductor (C) having:
(1) a lower end connected by a vertical lower terminal (11) with said printed circuit board assembly first contact and(2) an upper end connected by an upper terminal (12) with said electronics module second contact, said adapter upper terminal and said electronics module second contact each being inclined by an acute angle (α) relative to the vertical; (d) module mounting rail means (34) for mounting said electronics module on said printed circuit board assembly; and (e) bus bar means (35) arranged in said electronics mounting rail for supplying electrical energy to each first contact (31) on said printed circuit board assembly.
