  • Stackable terminal support elements for printed circuit boards The invention relates to a terminal support element for flat ⁇ groups with a housing.
  • the printed circuit boards are provided in separate operations with the connectors and soldered in a solder bath with possibly other, provided on the circuit board components. It is necessary that the connectors are already so firmly connected to the circuit board during the deployment process, that is, in the first operation, that they maintain their position even in subsequent work and transport operations.
  • DE 84 36 267 describes a mounting method for connectors or their insulating body to printed circuit boards.
  • metallic pins are inserted in the lateral flanges of the plug connectors. These pins are pressed in the mounting of the connector with the circuit board in corresponding holes in the circuit board ⁇ and here cause a first attachment of the connector to the circuit board.

  • the stackable clamping support elements according to the invention accordingly offer a considerable reduction in variants. In addition, they offer a considerable simplification of the clamping carrier manufacturing process, since the clamping carriers no longer have to be adapted to the respective device widths.
  • the terminal support elements of the invention enable universal use for different ver ⁇ Instrument widths.
  • the stackable and nested together clamping support elements according to the invention can preferably be connected to each other by snapping, plugging or terminals.
  • the latching mechanism is preceded by a latching lug and a latching opening on the respective terminal support elements to be connected to each other, which are then positively connected with each other in this way.
  • the plug-in mechanism is a positive connection technique in which a plug body is joined in an opening.
  • the clamping process is a force- locking connection technique, in which two bodies, in this case the clamping carrier elements, are subjected to force.
