Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for fixing and grounding a printed circuit board.
  • the fastening of the plate is for example ensured by means of screwing means associated with support columns of the plate while the grounding of the plate is provided for example by means of a ground braid. or equivalent elements.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems.
  • the invention relates to a system for fixing and grounding a printed circuit board, characterized in that it comprises a clip made of an elastic material and electrically conductive and comprising a first and second support plates provided with contact means respectively with the printed circuit board and the ground plane, means for resilient hooking and biasing the printed circuit board against the first support plate, and between the two support plates, connecting means forming a spacer.
  • This plate is for example designated by the general reference 1 while the ground plane is designated by the general reference 2.
  • This system comprises a clip designated by the general reference 3 which is formed for example in one piece by cutting and deformation of a blank of elastic material and electrically conductive such as a sheet blank.
  • This clip then comprises a first and a second support plate designated by the references 4 and 5 in these figures, these support plates being provided with contact means respectively with the printed circuit board and the ground plane.
  • these contact means may comprise at least one tongue integrally formed with the corresponding plate, the or each tongue being provided with means forming a serrated contact pad with the corresponding element.
  • the plate 4 is provided with two tongues which are made of material, for example designated by references 6 and 7 in these figures, cut and deformed from this support plate 4, the ends of which comprise, for example, means forming Serrated contact stud respectively 8 and 9, with the printed circuit board.
  • the or each support plate is inclined towards the corresponding element that is to say the printed circuit board or the ground plane and the or each tab of each of them is also inclined. away from the backing plate to ensure good contact and good retention in position of the printed circuit board relative to the ground plane.
  • the serrated portions of the contact pads also make it possible to scratch the surface of the printed circuit board and the plane of contact. mass to further improve the electrical conduction between this plate and this ground plane.
  • the corresponding tabs of the support plate 5 are designated for example by the references 10 and 11, and the corresponding toothed contact pads by the references 12 and 13.
  • This clip also comprises elastic attachment means on a support piece such as the part designated by the general reference 14 on the figure 2 .
  • These means of elastic hooking of the clip on the support piece 14 are for example in the form of clamp-shaped means designated by the general reference 15, adapted to be engaged elastically on the support piece in order to to be fixed.
  • these gripper-shaped means comprise, for example, harpoon-hooking means for attaching them to the support piece, these harpoon-shaped means being designated by the general reference 16 and having also come from material with the rest of the staple.
  • Elastic attachment means and biasing the printed circuit board 1 against the first support plate 4 are also provided. These means are designated by the general reference 17 in this figure and comprise at least one elastic hook-shaped member extending above the support plate 4 and comprising at least one ramp 18 zone retracted from that during the engagement of the printed circuit board 1 in position against the support plate 4.
  • spacer means in fact comprise a connecting plate of one end of the first support plate 4 at the opposite end of the second support plate 5.
  • the first support plate 4, the connection plate 19 and the second support plate 5 form an inverted "Z", provided with a certain elasticity making it possible to ensure a good contact of grounding and a good fixation of the plate with respect to the ground plane.
  • the clip 3 once in position on the support piece 14 can receive the printed circuit board 1 by engagement thereof under the hook-shaped means 17 which elastically move aside to pass and then press it against the backing plate 4.
  • the clamp-shaped means 15 and the means 17 for elastic hooking and biasing of the printed circuit board 1 against the first support plate 4 are connected to this first plate 4.
  • these means are connected to the second support plate 5.
  • These means designated respectively by the references 115 and 117 are then in fact connected to the second support plate 5 and the elastic hooking means and the biasing of the plate printed circuit against the first support plate 4 then comprise, for example, two members in the form of elastic hooks 118 and 119 disposed on either side of the support plate 4.
