Base for carrying surface mounted device - has inbuilt clips to locate device and connect it electrically to PCB

摘要

The base (I) is of electrically insulating material fitted with spring clips (K). These form contacts points (L) at the bottom of the base and can be soldered onto a p.c.b. The electronic component (B), which is of the surface mounting type, is placed on top of the base and upshed under the free ends of the spring clips. These clips then hold the component (B) in position and also make the connection between it and the printed circuit. USE/ADVANTAGE - Development testing of circuits. Surface mounting devices can easily be changed.
