PRINTED CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY William H. Flanagan, Jr., Wellesley, and Robert W. Fraser, Waltham, Mass., assignors to United-Carr Fastener Corporation, Cambridge, Mass., a corporation of Delaware t Filed July 1, 1958, Ser. No. 745,879
Claims. (Cl. 339-17) This invention relates to printed circuits and in particular to terminal assemblies for printed circuit boards.
The object of our invention is to provide a printed circuit female contact which is so adapted to be attached to a phenolic resin board or the like.
Another object of our invention is to provide a contact for staking into the circuitry of a printed circuit adapted for receiving an electronic component of the plug-in type.
With the advent of printed circuitry, a definite need has developed for an electrical contact for use with removable components and adapted for machine attachment into the circuitry without the use of solder.
The present invention involves a contact which may be readily inserted into a printed circuit and firmly attached thereto by machine methodsand adapted to receive the blade contacts of electronic components such as switches, relay contacts or the like.
Other objects of the invention will, in part, be obvious, and will, in part, appear hereinafter.
In the drawings:
Fig. l is a view in front elevation of the contact after assembly in an apertured panel;
Fig. 2 is an end view of a contact as seen from the right side before insertion; I
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing the contact positioned in the panel prior to deformation;
Fig. 4 is a view showing the first step in attaching the contact to the panel;
Fig. 5 is a view partly in elevation showing the contact assembled to the panel before the mandrel and die are withdrawn;
Fig. 6 is a top plan view of a portion of the panel showing the contact apertures;
Fig. 7 is a view in perspective of the contact;
Fig. 8 is a view in section partly in elevation of the contact assembled in the panel with a blade in position; and
Fig. 9 is a view in front elevation of the attaching mandrel and die.
Referring to the drawings, there is illustrated a female contact 10 which is adapted for assembly into an opening 12 in a printed circuit panel 14 having a copper circuit 16 on its upper surface.
In the preferred embodiment the opening 12 in the panel 14 is substantially rectangular in shape. The con-. tact It) is preferably formed of a generally U-shaped strip of resilient sheet metal and has a transverse medial bend 18 forming a pair of legs 20 which extend in the same general direction. The free ends 22 of the legs 20 are bent outwardly and away from each other defining flange portions and inclined downwardly with the terminal ends 24 preferably being serrated by a series of notches 26 for a purpose to be described hereinafter. The legs 20 are preferably trifurcated by a pair of channels 28 which extend from the bend 18 to a point 30 adjacent the free ends 22 so as to divide the legs 20 into three shank portions 32, 34 and 36. The legs 20 2,972,727 Patented Feb. 21, 1961 of the innermost shank portion 34 are inclined toward each other to present a restricted area 38 adapted so that the inner faces 40, 42 of the legs 20 may enter into frictional engagement with a blade 43 of a male component. Shoulders 44 are formed on the outermost shank portions 32 and 36 by a bowing outwardly of the legs 20 so as to diverge away from each other.
The contact is assembled into the opening 12 by a flexing inward of the shoulders 44 as it is axially inserted into the panel opening with the shoulders snapping outward and positioning the contact so that the panel is located between the shoulders and the terminal ends 24. At this point, a die 46 and a mandrel 48 are placed in superposed position within and surrounding the contact and when axial pressure is applied the headed mandrel 48 forces the free ends 22 of the legs downwardvwith the serrations formed by the notches 26 enter-. ing into biting engagement with the copper circuit 17 on the upper surface of the panel 14. Simultaneously the die 46, as shown in Fig. 5, forces the shoulders 44 into an abutting relation with the lower surface of the panel and so as to lie substantially perpendicular to the plane of the contact.
It willbe noted that the shoulders 44 and the terminal ends 24 are spaced a short distance vertically in relation to the axis of the contact. The distance will, of course, depend in part on the thickness of the panel 14 into which the contact is to be assembled as it can readily be seen that when the shoulders 44 are deformed, the panel is locked securely between them and free ends 22 of the legs 20.
Since certain other obvious modifications may be made in this device without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that matters contained herein be interpreted in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
