Le moulage du dispositif de connexion a, de préférence, des protubérances de formes allongées métallisées sur les surfaces de contact, destinées à recevoir des connecteurs 23 ayant des lames flexibles pouvant avantageusement être réalisés en matériau isolant métallisable.The molding of the connection device preferably has protuberances of shapes elongated metallized on the contact surfaces, intended to receive connectors 23 having flexible blades which can advantageously be made of insulating material metallizable.

Le détail d'un moulage d'un dispositif de maintien d'un composant volumineux tel qu'un transformateur 3 selon un second mode de réalisation est représenté sur la figure 6. Ce moulage comprend des plots 19 métallisés destinés à réaliser un bon contact électrique avec des sorties 18 dudit composant, des languettes 17 de maintien disposées sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan du support 8 et comportant vers une extrémité 31 opposée à la seconde face 10 du support des ergots 17 d'accrochage pour maintenir ledit composant. Par exemple, les sorties 18 peuvent être avantageusement en contact par brasure avec les plot 19. Les plots peuvent avoir des formes diverses et être avantageusement en forme de puits. Ils peuvent aussi de participer au maintien et à l'immobilisation du composant.The detail of a molding of a device for holding a bulky component such as a transformer 3 according to a second embodiment is shown in Figure 6. This molding includes metallized studs 19 intended to make good electrical contact with outlets 18 from said component, holding tabs 17 disposed substantially perpendicular to the plane of the support 8 and comprising towards an end 31 opposite the second face 10 of the support of the lugs 17 for hooking to hold said component. Through example, the outputs 18 can advantageously be in solder contact with the studs 19. The studs can have various shapes and advantageously be in the form of a well. They can also participate in the maintenance and immobilization of the component.

La figure 7 montre le moulage dans le support d'un dispositif de maintien d'un composant électronique tel qu'une diode électroluminescente. Ce moulage comporte une ouverture 32 entre la première et la seconde faces 9 et 10 du support 8, une métallisation 33 de la seconde face permettant une brasure 34 des sorties de la diode électroluminescente par l'arrière dans une position où la partie éclairante 35 est visible du coté de la première face réfléchissante 9.FIG. 7 shows the molding in the support of a device for holding a component electronic such as a light emitting diode. This molding has an opening 32 between the first and the second faces 9 and 10 of the support 8, a metallization 33 of the second face allowing soldering 34 of the outputs of the light-emitting diode by the rear in a position where the illuminating part 35 is visible from the side of the first face reflective 9.

Dans un support selon un mode réalisation de l'invention, d'autres dispositifs peuvent être moulés, notamment des dispositifs permettant de réaliser des boutons poussoirs ou des interrupteurs à l'aide de lames flexibles métallisées. Des moulages du support peuvent aussi être réalisés sous la forme de puits ou de renfoncements métallisés pour recevoir des composants électroniques qui nécessitent un blindage électromagnétique.In a support according to an embodiment of the invention, other devices can be molded, in particular devices for making push buttons or switches using flexible metallic blades. Support casts can also be made in the form of wells or metallized recesses to receive electronic components that require electromagnetic shielding.
