ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

The conector has two or more legs (2,3) with their major axes either parallel or perpendicular to one another, and their lower ends tapered. The legs are provided for insertion into mounting holes in the board, the cross-section of each leg having major and minor axes respectively greater and less than the mount-ing hole dia. The legs are pref. diamond shaped. Contact wires are secured in grooves in the plastics connector by ultrasonically melting the material adjacent to the wire and allowing it to resolidify. The wires may either enter plated holes in the circuit board, or be bent parallel to the board surface and soldered there.
