Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to correct the mounting height of a component in a desired height by a method wherein connection pins for mounting a socket for component at its mounting position are formed of a spring member and a displaceable deflection part is provided on one part of each of the connection pins. CONSTITUTION:Holes 2 and 3 for inserting connection pins of a light-emitting diode 7 are provided in the upper part of a main body 1 formed of an insulating member and bushings, which are formed of a conductor and are used for coupling electrically and mechanically with the connection pins of the diode 7, are respectively provided in the interiors of the holes 2 and 3. Moreover, connection pins 5 and 6 formed of a spring member consisting of a phosphor bronze or the like are provided under the lower part of the main body 1. One end of each of these pins 5 and 6 is formed wide and the pins 5 and 6 are coupled with the bushings 4 to correspond to the respective pins 5 and 6. The other ends of the pins 5 and 6 are taperingly formed so as to be able to insert in land holes 9 and 10 formed in a printed board 8 and the middle parts of the pins 5 and 6 are formed into a tapered form so as to change continuously from the wide part to the tapering part and are held bent into a doglegged form so as to function as a displaceable deflection part.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a socket for parts,
Specifically, it relates to improvement of connection pins.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when a light emitting diode is mounted at a mounting position of a printed circuit board or the like inside an operation panel having a sheet adhered on its surface so that the lighting state can be seen through the panel sheet, a predetermined light is emitted. It is desirable that the light emitting diode is closely attached to the panel sheet so that the light emitting diode does not get out of the display range.

Therefore, for example, a light emitting diode is mounted on a spacer for mounting.

[0004]

However, according to such a conventional structure, when the light emitting diode is floated or tilted from the spacer at the time of mounting, the light emitting diode pushes up the sheet, and the panel sheet and the light emitting diode are separated from each other. However, the panel sheet may have unevenness and light leakage may occur.

In order to eliminate such an inconvenience, the mounting state of the light emitting diode must be individually adjusted after the assembly, which requires a considerable number of steps. The present invention is to solve such conventional problems,
It is an object of the present invention to realize a component socket capable of automatically correcting the mounting height of a component to a desired height.

[0006]

A component socket of the present invention is a component socket mounted at a mounting position via a connection pin, wherein the connection pin is formed of a spring member and is partially displaceable. It is characterized in that a bending portion is provided.

[0007]

When the component is mounted in the component socket mounted at the mounting position, a positioning member such as a sheet that functions to regulate the mounting height of the component so as to be in close contact with the upper surface of the component is arranged. Considering that, if the elastic force of the bending portion of the connecting pin is smaller than the elastic force of the positioning member, the bending portion of the connecting pin is displaced to absorb the pressing force of the positioning member, and the mounting height of the component is It will be automatically corrected to the desired height to be regulated. Also, the horizontal mounting position is automatically corrected as long as it is within the displaceable range of the bending portion of the connecting pin.

As a result, the number of man-hours required for adjusting the mounting state such as the mounting position and mounting height of the components, which are required in the conventional structure, can be greatly reduced.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a mounted state, showing an example of a socket in which a light emitting diode is mounted. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a main body formed of an insulating member, and holes 2 and 3 for inserting a connection pin of a light emitting diode 7 are provided in an upper portion,
Inside the holes 2 and 3, there are provided bushings 4 for electrically and mechanically coupling the connection pins of the light emitting diode 7 formed of a conductor as shown in FIG. Further, connection pins 5 and 6 formed of a spring member such as phosphor bronze are provided on the lower portion of the main body 1. One end of each of these connecting pins 5 and 6 is formed wide and connected to the corresponding bushing 4, and the other end is formed to be tapered so that it can be inserted into the holes 9 and 10 of the land of the printed circuit board 8,
The middle portion is formed in a taper shape so as to continuously change from a wide width to a tapered shape, and is bent in a dogleg shape so as to function as a displaceable bending portion. 11 is a panel sheet.

In such a structure, assuming that the elastic force of the bending portions of the connection pins 5 and 6 is selected to be smaller than the elastic force of the panel sheet 11 functioning as a positioning member, the mounting is performed on the printed circuit board 8. 3A, in which the light emitting diode 7 is inserted into the body 1 of the socket, the panel sheet 11 is attached as shown in FIG. 3B, whereby the connecting pins 5 and 6 of the socket are bent like a dogleg. Will be bent deeply, and the light emitting diode 7 will be pushed down with its upper part in close contact with the panel sheet 11.

As a result, even if the mounting height in the state of FIG. 3 (A) is uneven, the unevenness can be obtained by pressing the panel sheet 11 as shown in FIG. Is automatically absorbed by and becomes almost flat,
It is possible to obtain a stable display state without requiring adjustment man-hours as in the case of interposing a conventional spacer. In the above embodiment, the light emitting diode is mounted on the printed circuit board and pressed by the panel sheet, but the invention is not limited to these combinations, and is suitable as a socket for various parts.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A component socket capable of automatically correcting the mounting height of a component to a desired height can be realized.
