Device for fixing a jack connector on a mobile phone circuit board

摘要

The spring contact provides both mechanical support and electrical connection for the jack socket The retaining element comprises a component (3) cut from sheet metal and folded into a U-shape. The U-shaped extends around a channel (4) formed around three sides of the insulating body (1) of the jack plug base. Each side of the U comprises a fin which extends around the insulating body and down towards the surface of the printed circuit board. Each side ends in a folded foot (8) which is attached to the printed circuit board. The central section of the sheet metal element includes a projecting lamella (10) which has a folded section (15). This folded part is intended to fit into a corresponding recess (2) formed in the insulating base.
