Abstract: A frame unit that interfaces a chicklet and a printed circuit board includes at least one fixing member that fixes the frame unit to a PCB, and an opening that accepts and holds a chicklet therein. The frame unit accepts a chicklet such that electrical connections are formed between the chicklet and the PCB beneath the frame unit. The edge of the opening can flex and/or make conductive electrical contact with the chicklet, and fixing member(s) can make electrical contact to the PCB. A frame strip is also described, which may include multiple frame units which can be separated from the frame strip. Frame units and frame strips can facilitate chicklet placement within strict tolerances.

Abstract: The invention relates to a contact module for transmission of high-frequency signals, wherein the contact module comprises at least one electrically conductive contact element adapted for transmitting the high-frequency signals, a dielectric insulator at least sectionally surrounding the at least one contact element and an electrically conductive shielding housing at least sectionally surrounding the dielectric insulator with the at least one contact element inside, wherein the shielding housing is monolithically folded around the dielectric insulator. The invention further relates to a set comprising two such contact modules. The invention further concerns an electrical connector comprising at least one contact module and a connector housing. The contact module has an improved shielding performance, a simplified assembly and reduced number of components.

Abstract: A contact carrier includes at least one contact element and a molded carrier body fixing the at least one contact element at a fixing section thereof, wherein the contact element comprises a contact section for contacting a mating contact element along a contacting direction, the contact section being elastically deflectable relative to the carrier body against the contacting direction, and a stopping section that rests in a pre-tensioned manner against a resting section on the carrier body. Further disclosed are a corresponding method and a corresponding apparatus.

Abstract: An arrangement with a solenoid coil and a solenoid valve includes a yoke housing arranged in a housing. The yoke housing has a first yoke base and a second yoke base. The solenoid coil is arranged between the first yoke base and the second yoke base. The solenoid coil including a coil wound about a coil former. The coil former has a fixing member that fixes the coil former to the housing. The solenoid valve includes a valve housing with a valve base plate connected to the housing. A displaceably mounted valve closing member extends into the solenoid coil from the valve housing. At least one resilient member is provided on an outer face of the second yoke base on a side of the second yoke base remote from the solenoid coil. The resilient member rests on the valve base plate and is compressed thereby.

Abstract: A printed circuit board provided with an attachment which surrounds surface contacts of the printed circuit board that are to be contacted by a printed circuit board connector that covers the portion of the printed circuit board and edges of the printed circuit board around the surface contacts and includes recesses corresponding to the surface contacts assuring proper connection with contacts of a printed circuit board connector.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (1) provided with an attachement (3) which surrounds surface contacts (11) of the printed circuit board (1) that are to be contacted by a printed circuit board connector that covers the portion of the printed circuit board (1) and edges of the printed circuit board (1) around the surface contacts (11) and includes recesses (31) corresponding to the surface contacts (11) assuring proper connection with contacts (21) of a printed circuit board connector.

Abstract: A printed circuit board zero insertion force connector incorporating an actuating member, by which the printed circuit board zero insertion force connector can be moved from an assembly position permitting insertion or removal of a printed circuit board into a connecting position properly contacting the printed circuit board and/or vice versa, is made by means of an element which simultaneously serves to lock the printed circuit board to the arrangement containing the printed circuit board zero insertion force connector or to remove it therefrom.

Abstract: The PCB zero-insertion-force connector has a housing and two connector halves inside the housing. The connector halves can be swiveled toward each other and away from each other. In a mounting position, in which they are swiveled away from each other, the connector halves allow the insertion of a PCB which is to be brought connected with the PCB upon which the housing is mounted. In a connecting position, the connector halves are swiveled toward each other. The connector halves of the PCB zero-insertion-force connector are formed of a plurality of connector-half modules which are arranged in series alongside one another.

Abstract: The cuboid housing of the printed circuit board coupler is made from conducting material and it can be soldered directly to the printed circuit board. An inner conductor connection member is inserted into and insulated from the housing. The insulation is provided by a plastics part which is partially extrusion-coated on the inner conductor connection member at a region where connecting elements angle off from a plug-in element. The printed circuit board coupler can thus be soldered with the housing itself and with bends of the inner conductor connection member in a horizontal or vertical position on the printed circuit board by surface mounting.
