  • Stud and a support for fixing an electronic component to a printed circuit board
    Patent number: 4631639
    Abstract: A stud and support arrangement are provided for supporting and fixing electronic components on integrated circuit boards. Studs are provided having an abutment for accurately positioning the integrated circuit and facilitating soldering thereof. The stud has a semi-open structure for receiving the lug of an electric component. The lug is soldered to the stud. The electronic component may be easily separated from the integrated circuit because the semi-open structure enables each lug to be unsoldered and removed, one-by-one, thus alleviating the need to unsolder all lugs at one time.
