BOARD-MOUNTED CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURES

摘要

A board-mounted circuit breaker assembly for an electronic equipment enclosure includes a printed circuit board having a plurality of quick-connect terminals and a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker includes a housing and a plurality of quick-connect terminals that are at least partially recessed into a portion of the housing to reduce the overall “z”-height of the circuit breaker. The quick-connect terminals on the circuit breaker are adapted to mechanically and electrically connect to the quick-connect terminals on the printed circuit board.

主权项

1. A circuit breaker-equipped electronic equipment enclosure, comprising:
(a) an electronic equipment enclosure; (b) electronic equipment mounted within the electronic equipment enclosure; and (c) a board-mounted circuit breaker assembly, mounted within the electronic equipment enclosure and utilized in relation to the electronic equipment, including
(i) a printed circuit board having a plurality of quick-connect terminals disposed on a mounting surface thereof, and(ii) a plurality of circuit breakers, each having a housing and a plurality of quick-connect terminals, wherein the quick-connect terminals are adapted to mechanically and electrically connect to the quick-connect terminals on the printed circuit board, and are each at least partially recessed into a portion of the housing to reduce the overall height of the circuit breaker above the mounting surface.
