Interconnection device for a double sided PCB

摘要

Circuits on opposite sides of a double sided printed circuit board are interconnected using an elongated conductive pin passing through a hole 42 in the PCB from a first side to a second side of the board. The pin may include a flattened head portion 48 for connection to a conductive pattern 32 on the first side of the PCB and a pointed end for connection to a conductive pattern 34 on the second side of the PCB. The head may be H shaped (figure 3) or rectangular (figure 5). The connections between the pin and the conductors on the PCB may be made by reflow or wave soldering.
