AUTOMATIC POWER DISCONNECT METHOD

摘要

Coupling an electrical connector to a printed circuit board (PCB) involves disposing forms of conductive bonding agent on the PCB, pressing spring-loaded power pins of an electrical connector towards a surface of the PCB, heating the forms of conductive bonding agent, thereby at least partially melting the forms, pressing the spring-loaded power pins into the melted forms of conductive bonding agent, and holding the power pins in the forms until the forms have cooled enough to form a bond that holds the power pins, thereby forming an electrical connection between the one or more pins and the PCB. The spring-loaded power pins are configured to automatically lift away from the surface of the PCB when the bond is weakened.

主权项

1. A method of coupling an electrical connector to a printed circuit board (PCB), the method comprising:
securing at least a portion of a housing of an electrical connector to a printed circuit board (PCB), the electrical connector comprising one or more spring-loaded power pins; disposing one or more forms of conductive bonding agent on the PCB; pressing one or more spring-loaded power pins of the electrical connector towards a surface of the PCB; heating the one or more forms of conductive bonding agent, thereby at least partially melting the one or more forms of conductive bonding agent; pressing the one or more spring-loaded power pins into the at least partially melted one or more forms of conductive bonding agent; and holding the one or more spring-loaded power pins in the one or more forms until the one or more forms have cooled enough to form a bond that holds the one or more pins, thereby forming an electrical connection between the one or more pins and the PCB; wherein the one or more spring-loaded power pins are configured to substantially automatically lift away from the surface of the PCB when the bond is at least partially weakened.
