Electrical connector for coupling power leads to circuit boards

摘要

An electrical connector (100) for terminating heavy power leads on circuit boards includes a generally flat unitary member (101) of electrically conductive material. Near a midregion (105) of the flat member (101) there is a threaded aperture (106) for terminating one or more power leads. Interconnection between the flat member (101) and the circuit board is accomplished by a plurality of pin contacts (110) each of which has a compliant portion (112) for effecting frictional engagement with the board. The connector further includes at least one projecting studlike member (121) for counteracting shear stresses between the flat member (101) and the circuit board.
