Terminal for electrical and mechanical connection to a printed circuit board

摘要

The present invention relates to a terminal for creating a quick, simple and inexpensive mechanical and electrical connection to a PCB that can be easily removed and replaced. This terminal can be fixedly connected, mechanically and electrically, to a PCB by the forces created by the compressive force of the opening in the PCB and the resilient nature of the terminal. The terminal generally comprises a first and a second end. The first end may include two legs which are inserted into an opening in the PCB. The second end may include at least one projection for engaging a housing or other similar structure. <IMAGE>
