Electrical component equipped with double pairs of contacts for enabling two different possible mountings on a printed circuit board

摘要

An electrical component is equipped with two alternative sets of electrically interconnected contacts for its electrical connection with its electrical environment. One of these sets of contacts is constituted by contacts (6) adapted to ensure electrical connection by simple pressure contact on respectively oppositely situated conducting spots (9), mechanical fastening means (12, 13) being also provided to fix the electrical component mechanically to a support (10) associated with said conducting spots. The other of these sets of contacts is constituted by contacts (7) adapted to be connected mechanically, particularly by welding, to respective conducting members or conducting spots.
