Junction component for connecting an electrical lead to a conductor of a printed circuit board

摘要

The junction component fixed on a PCB (13) has a base part (11) and a connection part (12), the connection part (12) having a slot (4) suitable for accepting an electrical lead (10). The base part (11) is embedded into the PCB (13) and is connected with a conductor of the PCB. The electrical lead (10) is connected to the connection part (12). At the place of connection, the orientation of the electrical lead is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the PCB (13). The direction in which the electrical lead is moved to connect it to the connection part (12) is substantially parallel to the plane of the PCB (13) and the base part (11) comprises a base plate (1) with tab(s) (8a-8c) bending out from it. The tab or tabs protrude into openings (17) formed in the PCB (13). The connection part (12) has an orientation substantially in or parallel to the plane of the base plate (1).
