Transducer housing employing crimped leads

摘要

A transducer housing consists of a first and a second section. The first section contains an internal hollow into which a transistor header is mounted. The header, as mounted in the first section, is firmly secured within the section by means of a locking ring or other arrangement. Located in the internal hollow of the first section is a printed circuit board which has a plurality of apertures on the surface thereof each of which communicates with an extending tubular post on the opposite surface. Leads from the header are directed through the apertures in the printed circuit board and extend into the tubular posts. The second housing section is emplaced on the first section and contains a series of hollow metal tubular connectors or posts. These are inserted over the metal tubular posts of the header containing the leads and are crimped so that the posts of the transistor header as well as the leads are connected both electrically and mechanically to the tubular posts extending from the second housing section. Based on the above noted configuration, the housing sections serve to hold the transducer as mounted in the header in a firm and fixed position while enabling installation and interconnection of the transistor header in a rapid and simple manner based on the fact that the leads emanating from the header are crimped internally within the housing sections.
