Clip contact for easy installation of printed circuit board PCB

摘要

In some embodiments, a power terminal is in electrical connection to a power supply terminal, and a printed circuit board is supplied with a board to power contact. Bringing the board to power contact together with the PCB contact causes an electrical connection between the power supply and the PCB. In some embodiments the electrical connection resists disconnection from the PCB contact without requiring an external force on the PCB. In some embodiments the PCB-to-power-contact and the PCB contact are brought together in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the PCB. In some embodiments the PCB-to-power-contact includes fingers with grasp the PCB contact on two sides.

主权项

1. A method of mounting a printed circuit board (PCB) to a power supply comprising:
pushing the PCB into a position on a mounting U; simultaneously engaging mechanically a PCB-to-power-contact connected to the PCB to a PCB contact connected to said mounting and electrically connecting said PCB-to-power-contact to said PCB contact; fixing a location of said PCB contact with respect to said mounting; locating a power supply terminal separate from said fixing of said PCB contact; and joining said PCB contact to said power supply terminal with an adaptor element.
