  • Device for coupling a PLC bus
    Patent number: 9634415
    Abstract: In order to facilitate the vertical placement of modules (104, 106) within a PLC (100) and thus decrease the size of the PLC (100) without reducing the capability of the PLC (100), modules (104, 106) of the PLC (100) each includes a printed circuit board (PCB) (200, 202, 204), a spring loaded pin connector (214) supported by and in electrical communication with a first surface (206, 208) of the PCB (200, 202, 204), and a receptacle (216) supported by and in electrical communication with a second surface (206, 208) of the PCB (200, 202, 204). The spring loaded pin connector (214) and the receptacle (216) are in electrical communication with each other via the PCB (200, 202, 204).
