Making contact in a force-optimized manner between electrical loads and printed circuit boards

摘要

A contact adapter for making contact in a force-optimized manner between an electrical load and a printed circuit board includes an electrically conductive contact element and an electrically non-conductive support structure. The electrically conductive contact element is configured to make an electrical contact between the printed circuit board and the electrical load. The support structure has a first supporting surface, which is configured to bear against a carrier plate of the printed circuit board. In this case, the contact element is integrated into the support structure in such a way that a first force exerted on the contact element by the electrical load is transferable to the carrier plate of the printed circuit board via the first supporting surface.

1. A contact adapter for making contact in a force-optimized manner between an electrical load and a printed circuit board, comprising:
an electrically conductive contact element, which is configured to make an electrical contact between the printed circuit board and the electrical load; and a support structure including (i) an electrically non-conductive material, and (ii) a first supporting surface, which is configured to bear against a carrier plate of the printed circuit board, wherein the electrically conductive contact element is integrated into the support structure in such a way that a first force exerted on the electrically conductive contact element by the electrical load is transferable to the carrier plate of the printed circuit board via the first supporting surface; wherein the electrically conductive contact element has a first interface with the printed circuit board and a second interface with the electrical load; and wherein the support structure has a second supporting surface, which is arranged such that the first force acting on the second interface of the electrically conductive contact element is absorbed by the second supporting surface and is transferred to the first supporting surface.
