Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention concerne un système de connexion permettant à une embase à picots d'être montée dans une cloison de boîtier électronique sans rotation relative entre l'embase et un circuit imprimé du boîtier électronique. Ce système de connexion comporte une plaquette de maintien, solidaire à la fois de l'embase et du circuit imprimé. L'invention concerne également un procédé de montage de ce système.The invention relates to a connection system enabling a pinned base to be mounted in an electronic box wall without relative rotation between the base and a printed circuit of the electronic box. This connection system comprises a holding plate, secured to both the base and the printed circuit. The invention also relates to a method of mounting this system.

L'invention trouve des applications dans de nombreux domaines techniques où un système électronique doit être connecté à un équipement électrique. Elle trouve, en particulier, des applications dans le domaine des télécommunications, de l'aéronautique, de l'automobile et dans tous les domaines où une embase de connecteur électrique doit être connectée à un boîtier électronique.The invention has applications in many technical fields where an electronic system must be connected to an electrical equipment. It finds, in particular, applications in the field of telecommunications, aeronautics, automotive and in all areas where an electrical connector base must be connected to an electronic box.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Dans certains domaines, comme ceux de l'aéronautique et de l'automobile, il peut être nécessaire de connecter un système électronique à un équipement électrique. Un boîtier électronique équipé d'un ou plusieurs circuit(s) imprimé(s) doit alors être connecté à un ou plusieurs connecteur(s) électrique(s). Pour cela, il est connu de relier les contacts électriques de l'embase du connecteur avec un circuit imprimé en soudant lesdits contacts électriques sur ledit circuit imprimé.In some areas, such as aeronautics and automotive, it may be necessary to connect an electronic system to electrical equipment. An electronic box equipped with one or more circuit (s) printed (s) must then be connected to one or more electrical connector (s). For this, it is known to connect the electrical contacts of the base of the connector with a printed circuit by welding said electrical contacts on said printed circuit.

Une fois le circuit imprimé soudé, la partie avant de l'embase du connecteur est montée à travers la cloison du boîtier électronique. Pour cela, la partie avant de l'embase du connecteur est introduite dans un orifice de la cloison, l'extrémité arrière de l'embase restant à l'intérieur du boîtier électronique.Once the printed circuit is welded, the front part of the connector socket is mounted through the wall of the electronics housing. For this, the front portion of the connector base is introduced into a hole of the partition, the rear end of the base remaining inside the electronic box.

On appelle « partie avant » de l'embase, la partie de l'embase destinée à recevoir une fiche de connecteur complémentaire, et « partie arrière » ou « extrémité arrière » de l'embase, la partie de l'embase destinée à rester à l'intérieur du boîtier électronique.The "front part" of the base, the part of the base intended to receive a complementary connector plug, and "part rear "or" rear end "of the base, the part of the base intended to remain inside the electronic box.

La figure 1 représente une embase standard pouvant être utilisée avec le système de l'invention. Cette embase, référencée 20, est une embase à picots, c'est-à-dire une embase équipée de contacts électriques dont la partie arrière viendra se loger dans des trous de circuit imprimés. Cette embase comporte une partie avant 22, une partie arrière 21 et une paroi interne 23. Les contacts électriques 24, appelés plus simplement contacts à picots, traversent l'embase 20. Dans la partie avant 22 de l'embase, les contacts à picots 24 sont destinés à être accouplés à des contacts d'une fiche de connecteur complémentaire, non représentée sur la figure. Dans la partie arrière 21 de l'embase 20, les contacts à picots sont en saillie afin d'être connectés par soudage à un circuit imprimé, appelé aussi PCB (Printed Circuit Board, en termes anglo-saxons). La partie arrière 21 de l'embase a une extrémité 26 crénelée permettant une prise d'appui sur le PCB pour contrôler la position dudit PCB suivant l'axe longitudinale. De plus, ces créneaux 26 sont réalisés dans la même matière que le boîtier, ce qui peut entrainer des inconvénients du point de vue de la conduction électrique (matériaux isolant ou conducteur).The figure 1 represents a standard base that can be used with the system of the invention. This base, referenced 20, is a pinned base, that is to say a base equipped with electrical contacts whose rear portion will be housed in printed circuit holes. This base comprises a front portion 22, a rear portion 21 and an inner wall 23. The electrical contacts 24, more simply called pin contacts, pass through the base 20. In the front portion 22 of the base, the pin contacts 24 are intended to be coupled to contacts of a complementary connector plug, not shown in the figure. In the rear portion 21 of the base 20, the pin contacts are projecting to be connected by welding to a printed circuit, also called PCB (Printed Circuit Board, in English terms). The rear portion 21 of the base has a crenelated end 26 allowing a support on the PCB to control the position of said PCB along the longitudinal axis. In addition, these slots 26 are made of the same material as the housing, which can cause disadvantages from the point of view of electrical conduction (insulating or conductive material).

La partie avant 22 de l'embase est généralement munie d'un filetage 25 sur toute sa surface extérieure. Ainsi, lorsque la partie avant 22 de l'embase est installée à travers la cloison du boîtier électronique, un écrou 30 peut être vissé autour de cette partie avant 22 jusqu'à serrer la cloison du boîtier électronique. De cette façon, la cloison se trouve maintenue entre l'écrou 30 et la paroi interne 23 de l'embase.The front portion 22 of the base is generally provided with a thread 25 on its entire outer surface. Thus, when the front portion 22 of the base is installed through the wall of the electronic box, a nut 30 can be screwed around this front portion 22 until tighten the wall of the electronic box. In this way, the partition is held between the nut 30 and the inner wall 23 of the base.

Sur les figures 2 et 3, on a représenté schématiquement un exemple d'embase de la figure 1 montée dans la cloison 11 d'un boîtier électronique 10. Sur la figure 3, on voit la partie avant 22 de l'embase 20 sortant d'un orifice 12 réalisé dans la cloison 11. On voit également un écrou 30 apte à être vissé autour de cette partie avant 22. Sur la figure 2, la partie avant 22 de l'embase est montrée entourée de l'écrou 30.On the Figures 2 and 3 is schematically shown an example of a base of the figure 1 mounted in the partition 11 of an electronic box 10. On the figure 3 , we see the front portion 22 of the base 20 out of an orifice 12 made in the partition 11. Also shown is a nut 30 adapted to be screwed around this front portion 22. On the figure 2 , the front portion 22 of the base is shown surrounded by the nut 30.

Sur cette figure 3, on a représenté la partie arrière 21 avec les contacts à picots 24 et la paroi interne 23 accolée à la cloison 11. Comme le montre cette figure 3, l'embase est maintenue au travers de la cloison 11 par l'intermédiaire de la paroi interne 23 et de l'écrou 30 qui se font face de part et d'autre de ladite cloison.On this figure 3 , the rear portion 21 is shown with the pin contacts 24 and the inner wall 23 contiguous to the partition 11. As shown in FIG. figure 3 , the base is held through the partition 11 by the intermediate of the inner wall 23 and the nut 30 which face each other on either side of said partition.

Cependant, en fin de serrage de l'écrou 30 contre la cloison 11, l'embase 20 est entrainée par l'écrou. Elle subit donc un mouvement de rotation relatif par rapport au circuit imprimé. En effet, lors du serrage de l'écrou contre la cloison, le mouvement de rotation effectué par l'opérateur sur l'écrou entraîne un mouvement de l'embase à l'intérieur de la cloison. Ce mouvement de l'embase par rapport à la cloison entraine un mouvement par rapport au circuit imprimé, ce qui génère un jeu relatif entre le circuit imprimé et les contacts à picots. Ce jeu relatif a pour effet de créer des défauts de connexion au niveau des soudures entre les contacts à picots et le circuit imprimé.However, at the end of tightening the nut 30 against the partition 11, the base 20 is driven by the nut. It therefore undergoes a relative rotational movement with respect to the printed circuit. Indeed, when tightening the nut against the wall, the rotational movement performed by the operator on the nut causes a movement of the base within the wall. This movement of the base relative to the partition causes a movement relative to the printed circuit, which generates a relative clearance between the printed circuit and the pin contacts. This relative game has the effect of creating connection defects in the welds between the pin contacts and the printed circuit.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

L'invention a justement pour but de remédier aux inconvénients des techniques exposées précédemment. A cette fin, l'invention propose un système de connexion comportant une plaquette de maintien montée sur l'embase et logée partiellement dans le circuit imprimé. Cette plaquette de maintien permet de solidariser l'embase avec le circuit imprimé par l'intermédiaire de la plaquette de maintien empêchant tout mouvement relatif entre l'embase et le circuit imprimé.The purpose of the invention is precisely to overcome the disadvantages of the techniques described above. To this end, the invention proposes a connection system comprising a holding plate mounted on the base and partially housed in the printed circuit. This holding plate makes it possible to secure the base with the printed circuit by means of the holding plate preventing any relative movement between the base and the printed circuit.

De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne un système de connexion comportant une embase apte à être montée à travers une cloison d'un boîtier électronique, ladite embase étant munie de contacts électriques à picots débouchant dans le boîtier électronique et dont les extrémités sont connectées électriquement à un circuit imprimé dudit boîtier électronique. Ce système se caractérise par le fait que l'embase est équipée d'une plaquette de maintien, d'une part, montée autour des contacts électriques à picots et d'une partie arrière de l'embase et, d'autre part, munie de moyens d'accroche aptes à être emboités dans le circuit imprimé. De cette façon, l'embase se trouve solidarisée avec le circuit imprimé, ce qui empêche tout mouvement de rotation relatif entre l'embase et le circuit imprimé.More specifically, the invention relates to a connection system comprising a base adapted to be mounted through a partition of an electronic box, said base being provided with electrical pin contacts opening into the electronic box and whose ends are connected. electrically to a printed circuit of said electronic box. This system is characterized by the fact that the base is equipped with a holding plate, on the one hand, mounted around the electrical contacts with pins and a rear part of the base and, on the other hand, provided with attachment means adapted to be nested in the printed circuit. In this way, the base is secured to the printed circuit, which prevents any relative rotational movement between the base and the printed circuit.

Ce système de connexion peut comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • la plaquette de maintien présente une forme cylindrique de dimensions adaptées au contour de la partie arrière de l'embase.
  • la plaquette de maintien comporte, sur une paroi cylindrique interne, des crans d'orientation aptes à empêcher tout mouvement de rotation relatif entre la plaquette de maintien et l'embase. De cette façon, la plaquette de maintien est rendue solidaire de l'embase.
  • les moyens d'accroche comportent au moins deux plots répartis sur une face circulaire de la plaquette de maintien et aptes à se loger dans le circuit imprimé. De cette façon, la plaquette de maintien est rendue solidaire du circuit imprimé.
  • la plaquette de maintien est réalisée par moulage en un matériau thermoplastique si une isolation électrique entre l'embase et le PCB doit être garantie.
  • le système comporte un écrou apte à être vissé autour d'une partie avant de l'embase et à être serré contre la cloison du boîtier électronique.
This connection system may include one or more of the following features:
  • the holding plate has a cylindrical shape of dimensions adapted to the contour of the rear part of the base.
  • the holding plate comprises, on an inner cylindrical wall, orientation notches capable of preventing any relative rotational movement between the holding plate and the base. In this way, the holding plate is secured to the base.
  • the attachment means comprise at least two studs distributed on a circular face of the holding plate and adapted to be housed in the printed circuit. In this way, the holding plate is made integral with the printed circuit.
  • the holding plate is made by molding in a thermoplastic material if electrical insulation between the base and the PCB must be guaranteed.
  • the system comprises a nut adapted to be screwed around a front portion of the base and to be clamped against the partition of the electronic box.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de montage d'un système de connexion tel que décrit précédemment. Ce procédé se caractérise par le fait qu'il comporte les opérations suivantes :

  • montage de la plaquette de maintien autour de la partie arrière de l'embase,
  • montage des contacts électriques à picots de l'embase et des moyens d'accroche de la plaquette de maintien dans le circuit imprimé,
  • connexion des contacts électriques à picots sur le circuit imprimé,
  • montage de la partie avant de l'embase dans un orifice de la cloison du boîtier électronique,
  • vissage d'un écrou autour de la partie avant de l'embase jusqu'au serrage de la cloison.
The invention also relates to a method of mounting a connection system as described above. This process is characterized by the fact that it comprises the following operations:
  • mounting the holding plate around the rear part of the base,
  • mounting of the electrical contacts with pins of the base and means of attachment of the holding plate in the printed circuit,
  • connection of electrical pin contacts on the printed circuit,
  • mounting the front part of the base in a hole in the wall of the electronic box,
  • screwing a nut around the front part of the base until the bulkhead is tightened.

Ainsi monté, aucun mouvement de rotation généré par l'écrou et entrainant l'embase ne peut avoir d'effet sur les connexions entre les contacts à picots et le circuit imprimé.Thus mounted, no rotational movement generated by the nut and driving the base can have any effect on the connections between the pin contacts and the printed circuit.

Description détaillée de modes de réalisation de l'inventionDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

L'invention concerne un système de connexion permettant de monter une embase standard dans une cloison d'un boîtier électronique sans qu'il y ait de jeu entre l'embase et le circuit imprimé auquel sont connectés les contacts à picots de l'embase.The invention relates to a connection system for mounting a standard base in a partition of an electronic unit without there being any clearance between the base and the printed circuit to which are connected the pin contacts of the base.

La figure 4 représente une embase standard telle que représentée sur la figure 1 avec une plaquette de maintien selon l'invention. Sur cette figure 4, ainsi que sur les figures suivantes 5A et 5B, la cloison du boîtier électronique n'est pas représentée par mesure de simplification de ladite figure.The figure 4 represents a standard base as shown on the figure 1 with a holding plate according to the invention. On this figure 4 , as well as in the following figures 5A and 5B, the partition of the electronic box is not shown by simplification of said figure.

Comme montré sur les figures 4 et suivantes, l'embase 20 est traversée de part en part par des contacts à picots 24, ou picots. L'embase 20 comporte une partie avant 22, une partie arrière 21 et une paroi intermédiaire 23. La partie arrière 21 et la paroi interne 23 sont destinées à être placées à l'intérieur du boîtier électronique. La partie avant 22 est destinée à être placée à l'extérieur du boîtier électronique et à être connectée à une fiche femelle complémentaire. Un écrou 30 est prévu pour être vissé autour du filetage 25 réalisé sur tout le contour extérieur de la partie avant 22 de l'embase.As shown on figures 4 and following, the base 20 is traversed right through by pins 24 contacts, or pins. The base 20 comprises a front portion 22, a rear portion 21 and an intermediate wall 23. The rear portion 21 and the inner wall 23 are intended to be placed inside the electronic box. The front portion 22 is intended to be placed outside the electronic box and to be connected to a complementary socket. A nut 30 is provided to be screwed around the thread 25 made on the entire outer contour of the front portion 22 of the base.

Ainsi, lorsque l'embase est montée dans la cloison du boîtier électronique, la paroi interne 23 se trouve accolée à ladite cloison du boîtier électronique. Cette cloison se trouve donc serrée entre la paroi interne 23 et l'écrou 30 vissé sur la partie avant 22 de l'embase. Comme montré sur la figure 4, après montage de l'embase dans la cloison du boîtier électronique, ladite cloison se trouve placée dans un espace 15 ménagé entre la paroi interne 23 et l'écrou 30. Ainsi, une fois l'écrou 30 en contact avec la cloison, l'embase 20 est maintenue en position fixe dans l'orifice de la cloison du boîtier électronique.Thus, when the base is mounted in the partition of the electronic housing, the inner wall 23 is contiguous to said housing wall. electronic. This partition is thus clamped between the inner wall 23 and the nut 30 screwed on the front portion 22 of the base. As shown on the figure 4 after mounting the base in the partition of the electronic housing, said partition is placed in a space 15 formed between the inner wall 23 and the nut 30. Thus, once the nut 30 in contact with the partition, the base 20 is held in a fixed position in the orifice of the partition of the electronic unit.

Selon l'invention, l'embase 20 est équipée d'une plaquette de maintien 40 montée autour de la partie arrière 21 de l'embase. Cette plaquette de maintien 40 est donc positionnée autour des contacts à picots 24 pour assurer une solidarisation de l'embase 20 avec le circuit imprimé 50 du boîtier électronique sur lequel les contacts à picots sont connectés.According to the invention, the base 20 is equipped with a holding plate 40 mounted around the rear portion 21 of the base. This holding plate 40 is thus positioned around the pin contacts 24 to ensure a connection of the base 20 with the printed circuit 50 of the electronic unit on which the pin contacts are connected.

En effet, comme montré sur la figure 6, les contacts à picots 24 de l'embase 20 sont soudés sur le circuit imprimé 50 afin qu'une connexion électrique soit établie entre lesdits contacts à picots et ledit circuit imprimé. Pour s'assurer que la connexion entre les contacts à picots 24 et le circuit imprimé 50 ne subisse aucun dommage lors du verrouillage de l'écrou 30 autour de l'embase 20, la plaquette de maintien 40 de l'invention comporte des moyens d'accroche 42. Ces moyens d'accroche 42 sont destinés à être logés dans le circuit imprimé 50 pour rendre l'embase 20 et le circuit imprimé solidaires.Indeed, as shown on the figure 6 , the pin contacts 24 of the base 20 are soldered to the printed circuit 50 so that an electrical connection is established between said pin contacts and said printed circuit. To ensure that the connection between the pin contacts 24 and the printed circuit 50 does not suffer any damage during the locking of the nut 30 around the base 20, the holding plate 40 of the invention comprises means of 42. These attachment means 42 are intended to be housed in the printed circuit 50 to make the base 20 and the printed circuit integral.

De façon plus précise, la plaquette de maintien 42 consiste en un élément tubulaire 41, ou couronne, comprenant une paroi cylindrique externe 41a et une paroi cylindrique interne 41b, concentrique avec la paroi cylindrique externe. Cet élément tubulaire 41 a une forme et des dimensions adaptées au contour de la partie arrière 21 de l'embase. Cet élément tubulaire 41 est équipé, sur sa face circulaire 45, des moyens d'accroche 42.More specifically, the retaining plate 42 consists of a tubular element 41, or ring, comprising an outer cylindrical wall 41a and an inner cylindrical wall 41b, concentric with the outer cylindrical wall. This tubular element 41 has a shape and dimensions adapted to the contour of the rear portion 21 of the base. This tubular element 41 is equipped on its circular face 45 with attachment means 42.

Ces moyens d'accroche 42 peuvent être, par exemple, des plots 42 aptes à se loger dans des orifices du circuit imprimé 50. Ces plots 42, une fois insérés dans le circuit imprimé 50, solidarisent l'embase 20 avec ledit circuit imprimé, ce qui évite tout jeu relatif entre ladite embase et ledit circuit imprimé. Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 4 à 6, les plots sont au nombre de trois et répartis régulièrement sur la face circulaire 45 de la plaquette de maintien 40.These attachment means 42 may be, for example, studs 42 adapted to be housed in orifices of the printed circuit 50. These studs 42, once inserted in the printed circuit 50, solidarise the base 20 with said printed circuit, which avoids any relative clearance between said base and said printed circuit. In the example shown on the Figures 4 to 6 , the pads are three in number and regularly distributed on the circular face 45 of the holding plate 40.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la paroi cylindrique externe 41a est équipée d'une encoche d'orientation 46 permettant à l'opérateur d'orienter l'embase avec la plaquette de maintien correctement pour que les plots 42 se trouvent en regards des orifices correspondant du circuit imprimé.According to one embodiment of the invention, the outer cylindrical wall 41a is equipped with an orientation notch 46 allowing the operator to orient the base with the retaining plate correctly so that the studs 42 are in position. the corresponding apertures of the circuit board.

Les figures 5A et 5B représentent une vue éclatée du système de connexion de l'invention, respectivement selon une vue latérale et selon une vue de devant. Ces figures 5A et 5B montrent donc l'embase 20 et l'écrou 30 vissé sur la partie avant 22 de l'embase. Elles montrent également les contacts à picots 24 traversant l'embase 20. Une extrémité arrière de ces contacts à picots 24 (débouchant dans la partie arrière de l'embase) est apte à être connectée par soudage au circuit imprimé, tandis qu'une extrémité avant de ces contacts à picots 24 (débouchant dans la partie avant de l'embase) est apte à être connectée à des contacts femelles d'une fiche complémentaire non représentée sur les figures.The Figures 5A and 5B represent an exploded view of the connection system of the invention, respectively in a side view and in a front view. These Figures 5A and 5B thus show the base 20 and the nut 30 screwed on the front portion 22 of the base. They also show the pin contacts 24 passing through the base 20. A rear end of these pin contacts 24 (opening into the rear part of the base) is able to be connected by welding to the printed circuit, while one end before these pin contacts 24 (opening in the front portion of the base) is adapted to be connected to female contacts of a complementary plug not shown in the figures.

Les figures 5A et 5B montrent aussi la plaquette de maintien 40 adaptée pour être emboitée autour de la partie arrière 21 de l'embase. Comme on le voit plus précisément sur la figure 5B, la plaquette de maintien 40 a sa paroi interne 41b équipée d'un ou de plusieurs crans d'orientation 44. Ces crans d'orientation 44 forment chacun une cannelure au sein d'une surépaisseur 43 réalisée dans la paroi interne 41b de la plaquette de maintien 40. Chaque cran d'orientation 44 est prévu pour s'emboiter autour d'un créneau 26 formé sur la face extérieure de la partie arrière 21 de l'embase. L'ensemble constitué des crans d'orientation 44 et des créneaux 26 forment un système d'emboitement qui assure le verrouillage de la plaquette de maintien 40 autour de la partie arrière 21 de l'embase et ainsi empêche toute rotation de l'embase par rapport à la plaquette de maintien.The Figures 5A and 5B also show the holding plate 40 adapted to be fitted around the rear portion 21 of the base. As we see more precisely on the Figure 5B , the retaining plate 40 has its internal wall 41b equipped with one or more orientation notches 44. These orientation notches 44 each form a groove within an extra thickness 43 formed in the inner wall 41b of the plate 40. Each orientation notch 44 is provided to fit around a slot 26 formed on the outer face of the rear portion 21 of the base. The assembly consisting of the orientation notches 44 and the slots 26 form a nesting system which ensures the locking of the holding plate 40 around the rear portion 21 of the base and thus prevents any rotation of the base by compared to the holding plate.

On déduit de ce qui précède qu'un opérateur qui veut connecter une embase sur un circuit imprimé avec le système de connexion de l'invention doit effectuer les opérations suivantes :

  • il doit tout d'abord installer la plaquette de maintien autour de la partie arrière de l'embase en faisant coïncider les crans d'orientation 44 de la plaquette de maintien avec les créneaux 26 de la partie arrière 21 de l'embase ;
  • il doit ensuite introduire les contacts à picots 24 de l'embase et les plots 42 de la plaquette de maintien dans le circuit imprimé 50 et souder les contacts à picots sur le circuit imprimé pour assurer leur connexion électrique ;
  • il peut alors monter la partie avant 22 de l'embase dans un orifice 12 de la cloison 11 du boîtier électronique et visser un écrou 30 autour du filetage 25 de la partie avant 22 de l'embase jusqu'à ce que la cloison soit serrée entre ledit écrou 30 et la paroi interne 23 de l'embase.
From the foregoing it can be deduced that an operator who wants to connect a base on a printed circuit with the connection system of the invention must carry out the following operations:
  • it must first install the holding plate around the rear portion of the base by aligning the orientation notches 44 of the holding plate with the slots 26 of the rear portion 21 of the base;
  • it must then introduce the pin contacts 24 of the base and the pads 42 of the holding plate in the printed circuit 50 and solder the pin contacts on the printed circuit to ensure their electrical connection;
  • it can then mount the front portion 22 of the base in an orifice 12 of the partition 11 of the electronic unit and screw a nut 30 around the thread 25 of the front portion 22 of the base until the wall is tight between said nut 30 and the inner wall 23 of the base.

On comprend, de la description précédente, que les éventuels mouvements de rotation générés par le vissage de l'écrou 30 autour de l'embase 20 n'ont aucune conséquence sur la connexion des contacts à picots 24 dans le circuit imprimé 50. En effet, comme la plaquette de maintien 40 est fixée dans le circuit imprimé et que l'embase est solidaire de ladite plaquette de maintien, l'embase se trouve solidarisée avec le circuit imprimé. Aussi, quels que soient les mouvements de rotation générés par l'écrou 30 sur l'embase 20, aucune rotation relative n'est possible entre l'embase 20 et le circuit imprimé 50. Le serrage de l'écrou 30 sur l'embase, même s'il entraine un mouvement de l'embase, n'induit aucun mouvement relatif de l'embase par rapport au circuit imprimé. La connexion réalisée par soudage des contacts à picots 24 sur le circuit imprimé est donc préservée.It is understood from the preceding description that the possible rotational movements generated by the screwing of the nut 30 around the base 20 have no consequence on the connection of the pin contacts 24 in the printed circuit 50. Indeed as the holding plate 40 is fixed in the printed circuit and the base is secured to said holding plate, the base is secured to the printed circuit. Also, regardless of the rotational movements generated by the nut 30 on the base 20, no relative rotation is possible between the base 20 and the printed circuit 50. The tightening of the nut 30 on the base , even if it causes a movement of the base, induces no relative movement of the base relative to the printed circuit. The connection made by welding the pin contacts 24 on the printed circuit is thus preserved.

L'ensemble de la plaquette de maintien qui vient d'être décrite peut être réalisée dans un matériau thermoplastique, ou tout autre matériau facile à mouler. La plaquette de maintien peut être, par exemple, moulée en PEEK (polyétheréthercétone), matériau qui a l'avantage d'avoir une très bonne stabilité à la température et de bonnes propriétés d'isolation électrique.The assembly of the holding plate which has just been described may be made of a thermoplastic material, or any other material easy to mold. The holding plate can be, for example, molded in PEEK (polyetheretherketone), a material which has the advantage of having a very good temperature stability and good electrical insulation properties.

Par ailleurs, la plaquette de maintien selon l'invention étant réalisée sous la forme d'une pièce rapportée, adaptée à la forme de la partie arrière de l'embase, elle peut être utilisée avec des corps d'embase standards. Le système de connexion de l'invention peut donc être mis en place sur des embases existantes. Aucune modification intrinsèque de l'embase n'est nécessaire, ce qui permet d'éviter des coûts liés à une modification de ladite embase.Furthermore, the retaining plate according to the invention being made in the form of an insert, adapted to the shape of the rear part of the base, it can be used with standard base bodies. The connection system of the invention can therefore be implemented on existing bases. No intrinsic modification of the base is necessary, which avoids costs related to a modification of said base.
