  • Patent number: 5022870
    Abstract: A retainer for insert-retaining a plurality of pin terminals includes a ferrite member having an aligned arrangement of through holes formed at insertion positions of the pin terminals and a resin member covering one surface of the ferrite member. The resin member also has an aligned arrangement of holes for receiving the pin terminals. The ferrite member functions as a filter element to reduce noise. Thin portions are formed along the inner circumferential surfaces of resin member defining the holes. The thin portions are deformed or fractured by the insertion of the pin terminals, and then each deformed or fractured portion is sandwiched between the inserted pin terminal and the inner circumferential surface to thereby elastically engage the pin terminal, resulting in the retainer being secured to the pin terminals in a manner which prevents the terminals from shifting in position.

  • Patent number: 4883920
    Abstract: In the chip type component installation structure wherein chips are arranged to be joined by solder to a fitting pattern provided on a printed substrate, resist films are set separately in the space of the fitting pattern in order to reduce the quantity of solder. The resist films are set in the space of the fitting pattern separately, so that the structure provides a lesser quantity of solder to join and fix chips, a continuous solder band over the fitting pattern, and a lesser but sufficient quantity of the solder. The structure prevents cracks and breakages of chips due to the expansion and contraction of solder, increases the polarity of solder against chips and electrodes, shortens the soldering time, and increases the reliability of chip installation work.
