Abstract: A holding member, for an electronic component inserted into a through hole provided in an electronic circuit board which includes a plate-shaped base that is fixed to the electronic component, a first leg and a second leg. The first leg extends from the base, and is inserted into the through hole. The first leg has a catch that projects laterally and outwardly with respect to an inserting direction in which the first leg is inserted into the through hole and locked with an edge of the through hole after the first leg is inserted. The second leg extends from the base and is inserted into the through hole together with the first leg. The second leg elastically deforms when the second leg comes into contact with an inner surface of the through hole, presses the first leg to an opposite side inner surface of the through hole, and elastically holds the catch in a state in which the catch is locked with the edge of the through hole after the second leg is inserted.

At least one of the upper jaw left wall, the upper jaw right wall, the upper jaw front wall, the lower jaw left wall, the lower jaw right wall, and the lower jaw front wall includes a substantially planar anvil contact surface.
Abstract: The invention relates to a modular electric cross connector for producing an electrically conductive connection, in particular of electric contacts (20) of relay sockets, comprising a carrier (100) and an electric bridge (200) partially received on/in the carrier (100), by means of which bridge the electrically conductive connection can be produced, wherein the carrier (100) can be mechanically connected by means of a mechanical plug connection to at least a second electric cross connector (1).
Abstract: A surface mount electrical connector for mounting to a substrate comprising a housing and a contact carried by the housing, the contact comprising a retention section held by the housing and a tine configured for mounting to a surface of the substrate wherein the tine extends from the retention section and wherein the tine lies inside an outer contour line of the housing is disclosed. A method of connecting a surface mount electrical connector to a substrate comprising the steps of providing a housing carrying a contact, the contact having a tine within a projected footprint of the housing on the substrate, attaching the housing to the substrate, inserting a jig into an opening of the housing, and bending the tine toward the substrate is disclosed.
Abstract: A bolt assembly has a bolt body which includes a threaded portion and a shank; a head; a ring; and a shear zone. The head is configured to transmit rotary motion to the threaded portion through the shank. The ring is disposed on the shank and has a ring thread and a tab configured to ensure continuity between the ring thread and the threaded portion. The shear zone joins the shank to the threaded portion and a complementary recess, disposed on the threaded portion, is engageable with the tab to ensure rotation locking of the ring in relation to the threaded portion.
Abstract: A connecting module for a mobile communication terminal includes a housing, a first connecting terminal member, and a second connecting terminal member. The first connecting terminal member is provided in an upper region of the housing for electrically connecting to connecting terminals of a universal serial bus memory. The second connecting terminal member is provided in a lower region of the housing for electrically connecting to an input/output device. The second connecting terminal member has a different length than the first connecting terminal member.
Abstract: A card edge connector for electrically connects a mother board with a daughter board. The card edge connector includes an upper card edge connector with an insulating housing provided with a daughter board receiving recess. Latch arms extend from the insulating housing at both ends of the daughter board receiving recess. Each of the latch arms has a holding arm extending substantially parallel to a support arm. The holding arm is connected to the support arm by a folded portion. At least a portion of the support arm is divided into a first support section and a second support section. The first support section and the second support section each has an inclined portion extending diagonally away from the holding arm.
Abstract: A solar module having a housing and a solar element is described, wherein the housing comprises a connecting element, which is connected to the contact surface of the solar element in an electrically conductive manner. Furthermore the connecting element is connected to electrical connection sockets, by means of which connecting conductors may be connected. A contact element which is biased against the contact surfaces of the solar elements is arranged between the connecting element and the contact surfaces of the solar element as a contact element. As a result of this, soldered, clamped or screwed connections between the solar element and the connecting element are unnecessary. A simple and cost-effective automated production of the solar module is thus made possible.

Abstract: An electronic control device according to the invention is disclosed for controlling the internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, for fault recognition with an irregular running determination unit and with an injection quantity correction unit, a defined group of cylinders being associated with a lambda probe, the injection quantity of a cylinder to be investigated of the defined group is adjusted in the direction of lean by a differential adjustment value associated with an irregular running differential value, and the injection value of at least one of the remaining cylinders, which are associated with the same lambda probe, is correspondingly adjusted in the direction of rich, so that in total a predetermined lambda value of this group of at least approximately 1 is reached. Homogeneous operation is thus ensured. The differential adjustment values may, for example, relate to the injection quantity itself, the injector stroke or the injection time.
