VERBINDER FUER EINE GEDRUCKTE LEITERPLATTE.

摘要

A printed circuit board connector (11) comprises a housing (12) with terminals (13,111) each having a mating portion (34); an anchoring post (32,112) with a compliant portion (33,113); and a resilient contact (35,55) trapped against the surface of a printed circuit board (37) by receipt of the compliant portion (33,113) in an unplated through-hole (36). The compliant portion (33,113) may comprise a strip-form post (112) split to form limbs (115,115') which have been pushed out in opposite directions, relatively away from each other, parallel to the plane of the slit (123) to lie in adjacent parallel planes and subsequently pushed relatively towards each other across the plane of the slit (123) to bring portions of their oppositely facing rolled surfaces adjacent the slit (123) into partially overlapping face-to-face engagement. Remote edge portions (118,118') of the respective limbs (115,115') are engageable with the internal periphery of a through-hole during insertion therein to force the limbs (115,115') further together with progressive sliding engagement of the rolled surfaces across each other further into overlapping engagement
