Base for electronic circuit board connection to component - has wedge-shaped pegs or balls movable along rails for combinatorial linking of plug and socket pins

摘要

The pins (9) of a plug (3) providing connections to a circuit board are linked with the pins of a socket (2) providing connections to an electrical or electronic component, via a plne (6) in which conductive pegs (11) can be moved between spaced positions along rails (12). The number of positions on each rail is one more than the number of pins. The connectors (2, 3) are hinged together (7) and secured by a catch (8b) on the socket engaging with a slotted bracket (8a) formed on the plug (3). ADVANTAGE - Variable combinations between circuit board and component are possible.
