  • Patent number: 7081011
    Abstract: Contacts are provided wherewith attachment to a board can be made with adequate attachment strength, without requiring soldering, which can be easily removed from the board without causing damage to occur. Parts of wiring rounds 37 positioned at the extreme diagonally lower right point on a printed circuit board 31 are clamped from above and below by the upper portion of a wiring round side contact part W, indicated by solid lines, facing on a slit 39 positioned at the extreme diagonally lower right point in a base 19, and by the lower portion of a wiring round side contact part W indicated by broken lines. The part of the wiring rounds 37 is clamped by the wiring round side contact part W, by spring forces that operate in directions to tighten that part, which spring forces develop in the upper portion and the lower portion of the wiring round side contact part W.

  • Publication number: 20010041467
    Abstract: A terminal 1 is equipped with elastic legs 3a, 3b having ridges on the feet 19a, 19b thereof, and is equipped with two elastic arms 5a, 5b extending to either side of legs 3a, 3b at an angle somewhat less than perpendicular with respect thereto. Upon insertion of terminal 1 into terminal insertion hole 17 on board 9, legs 3a, 3b become constricted and the tips of arms 5a, 5b come in contact with wiring lands 15. Upon complete insertion of terminal 1 in board 9, elasticity causes the two constricted legs 3a, 3b to become splayed outward, the ridges of feet 19a, 19b catching on the rim of terminal insertion hole 17. Furthermore, the arms 5a, 5b, being bent upward, an elastic force therefrom acts so as to cause the ridges of legs 3a, 3b to press against board 9, securing terminal 1 tightly to board 9.
