Abstract

L'invention vise à pouvoir installer des connecteurs enfichables de cartes de circuits imprimés présentant une structure définie dans la mesure du possible sur de nombreuses cartes de circuits imprimés variées. L'invention propose à cet effet un dispositif de fixation. Le dispositif de fixation comporte au moins un étrier en fil métallique (1) élastique à la manière d'un ressort, d'un seul tenant. Ledit étrier en fil métallique (1) possède une partie centrale formée par exemple à partir de trois bras (1, 1') servant à entourer un corps isolant (2) du connecteur enfichable de cartes de circuits imprimés. L'étrier en fil métallique (1) possède par ailleurs deux sections d'extrémités servant à traverser respectivement une ouverture de fixation (30) d'une carte de circuits imprimés (3). En particulier, lesdites sections d'extrémité sont repliées en des œillets de fixation (10), dirigés vers l'extérieur, pourvus d'extrémités (101) coudées. Le corps isolant (2) peut être être particulièrement stable et être maintenu avec une tolérance définie sur la carte de circuits imprimés (3).
