  • Publication number: 20100261389
    Abstract: There is provided a connection apparatus for an electronic component which is able to conveniently and rapidly perform attachment and detachment of a relay board without touching elastic contact points. The relay board is integrally formed by stacking a first cover, a relay sheet and a second cover. The relay board may be handled by picking up holding target sections which are formed on opposite end parts of the first cover without touching spiral contacts (elastic contact points). Further, when hold members are pivoted to be set in an open state by manipulating manipulation sections, the relay board may be mounted on a bottom surface of an mounting section, and when the hold members are pivoted to return to a hold state, the holding target sections are held by claw sections. Accordingly, the relay board can be conveniently and rapidly mounted and detached.

  • Publication number: 20090021924
    Abstract: Object A connection board is provided in which multiple external contacts of an electronic component and multiple spiral contacts on a board are arranged to highly accurately face each other, and the external contacts are actively guided to the spiral contacts, so as to reliably provide individual connections therebetween. Solving Means A connection board CB includes a relay board 20 having a plurality of spiral contacts 24A, 24B provided on both surfaces of the relay board 20, and a guide member 30 having a plurality of small holes 31 into which the spiral contacts 24A and a plurality of external contacts 2a provided on an electronic component 1 are respectively inserted in both directions. The relay board 20 and the guide member 30 are arranged to face each other. Small holes 31A provided in at least two or more corner portions from among the plurality of small holes 31 have a diameter smaller than a diameter of the residual plurality of small holes 31.
