Definitions

  • the above mentioned document describes a connector housing or shroud which is utilized to . lock and position an array of terminal pins in a pre-determined pattern.
  • each aperture in the housing is provided with spring elements in at least two opposite sides.
  • the mutual spacing and arrangement of said spring elements in relation to terminal pin cross section are such that, once inserted, a press-fit locking of the terminal pins is obtained.
  • This implementation according to the invention permits such a housing to be press-fitted as an integral unit over an array of terminal pins. Prior to this operation, however, said terminal pins may be press-fit or jointed by soldering to an electrical or electronic circuit, such as a printed circuit board. Subsequently, when said housing is located over the terminal pin array, each pin is individually gripped by the corresponding recess in the housing and held in position.
  • recess stands for aperture and its spring elements.
  • Figure 2a shows a simple version of one recess located in the bottom of a housing. Its two relatively thin side-walls form two spring elements which are integral with the plastic material of the housing. The thickness of these elements is T. These spring elements 1, 1' extend over the length of the aperture 9 and parallel to the surface of the bottom. The spacing X between the walls 1, 1' is slightly smaller than the lateral size of the terminal pin 2 to be inserted, as shown in figure 2b. Here a terminal pin 2 having a square cross section is inserted into the recess.
  • the spring elements are parallel to the bottom surface of the housing. They can, however, also be positioned at an angle to the bottom surface of the housing. Also, the spring elements can be parallel or crossed with respect to each other and simultaneously at an angle to the bottom.
  • Figure 5d shows an example of two parallel spring elements at an angle to the longer end of the bottom surface. It is obvious that an increased length of spring elements, which 'are mutually parallel or crossed, can be used to influence the forces occurring during insertion of the terminal pin and to obtain a better compensation of position tolerances.
  • the second housing 4' can be positioned at the other side of the printed circuit board in press-fit engagement with the array of projecting pins. If required, a distance between the bottom of the housing 4' and the printed circuit board can be maintained. It is obvious that the present housing in figure 7b of the invention constitutes an improvement over the known arrangement according to figure 7a. The need for the known spacing element 11, as indicated in figure 7a, is now eliminated.
