Mounting method for mounting a circuit board in a housing and associated mounting tool

摘要

A mounting method for a circuit board. The circuit board is formed with pilot holes that are placed onto pilot pins of a tool such that the pilot pins protrude through and beyond the circuit board. Then the tool is displaced toward a circuit board holder of the housing whereupon the pilot pins engage with a form fit in corresponding centering holes of the circuit board holder. After fixing the circuit board in the housing, the tool is withdrawn by detaching the pilot pins from the pilot holes, the circuit board remaining in the circuit board holder. The tool has an upper plate with associated pilot pins and a lower plate with a housing holder for positioning the housing. The circuit board, with the pilot pins engaging the pilot holes, is displaced by moving the upper plate toward the lower plate.

1. A method of mounting a circuit board in a housing, the method which comprises:
providing a circuit board with at least one pilot hole and placing the circuit board onto a mounting tool having a number of pilot pins, wherein each of the number of pilot pins protrudes through and projects beyond the circuit board on a side facing away from the mounting tool; displacing the mounting tool toward a circuit board holder of the housing to cause the pilot pins or at least one of the pilot pins to engage in a corresponding centering hole of the circuit board holder; fixing the circuit board in the housing; and withdrawing the mounting tool by detaching each pilot pin from the corresponding pilot hole, with the circuit board remaining in the circuit board holder.
