No. 846,444 6 Claims. (Cl. 174--68.5)
This invention relates to electrical connections and terminals for making the same and has particular reference to an electrical connection between a wire and a printed circuit board and to a terminal for making such a connection.
A principal object of the invention is to provide an efficient, simple and inexpensive electrical connection between a wire and a printed circuit board as well as a new and improved terminal for making such a connection.
Other and further objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description and claims and may be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, of which there are two sheets, which by way of illustration show preferred embodiments of the invention and what I now consider to be the best mode of applying the principles thereof. Other embodiments of the invention may be used without departing from the scope of the present invention :as set forth in the appended claims.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is \a perspective view of a terminal embodying the invention crimped onto a wire preparatory to inserting the terminal in a socket of a printed circuit board;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional View of the terminal as shown in FIGURE 1 inserted in a socket of a printed circuit board;
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3--3 of FIGURE 2 and showing the terminal soldered in a circuit board;
FIGURE 4 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of FIGURE 3;
FIGURE 5 is a view similar to FIGURE 2 showing a modified form of the invention;
FIGURE 6 is a view illustrating the terminal of FIG- URE 5 after being soldered in the socket of a terminal board;
FIGURE 7 is a plan view of the terminal per se of FIG- URES l to 4;
FIGURE 8 is a side elevational view of FIGURE 7;
FIGURE 9 is a front elevational View of the terminal illustrated in FIGURE 7.
As illustrated in FIGURES 1, 7, 8 and 9, a sheet metal terminal embodying the invention includes a U-shaped ferrule portion 10 and an integral tapering channel shaped portion 12 projecting axially from the ferrule portion and adapted to receive the end of a wire 14 around which the ferrule portion 10 is crimped. The crimped ferrule is of substantially uniform cross section throughout its length. The channel shaped portion 12 is adapted to be disposed in and project through a socket or hole 16 in a printed circuit board 18.
The terminal is made from an integral piece of sheet metal such as hard brass which preferably is solder coated in accordance with the process disclosed in Berg application for United States letters patent Serial No. 761,995,
'filed September 19, 195 8, for Method of Solder Coating Strip Stoc now Patent No. 3,068,566. The ferrule portion 10 is made U-shaped and as shown in FIGURES 7, 8 and 9 includes cars 11 which define a channel for receiving the end of a wire such as 14. The ears 11 are wrapped around and crimped on the wire 14 as shown in FIGURE 1 so as to form a good mechanical connection therebetween. The ears 11 are preferably crimped on the wire so as to leave paths 20 for the flow of molten solder Ice between the cars 11 and the wire 14, and the corners of the ears on one end thereof are notched so as to form a notch 22. When the ears 11 are crimped on the wire 14 the end 24 of the wire is flattened by a coining operation so that the end of the wire which projects beyond the ferrule 10 is substantially disposed within the channel portion 12. This coining operation exposes clean and unoxidized metal surface to facilitate solder joining the wire to the printed circuit board as explained more fully hereinafter.
The channel portion 12 tapers toward a point at the lead end thereof so as to facilitate insertion of the portion 12 in the hole 16. The cross sectional shape of the portion 12 with the end 24 of the wire coined therein is such as to form a plurality of solder flow channels between the portion 12 and the hole 16 as illustrated in FIGURE 4 so that when the board is solder dipped solder will flow upwardly through such channels and solder join the wire 14 to the terminal portions 10 and 12 and the terminal and wire 14 to the circuit board as illustrated in FIGURE 3. The notch 22 provides a vent to permit the escape of gases from the solder flow passages during the soldering operation. During such operation solder will also how upwardly through the passages 20 so as to solder join the wire 14 to the ferrule portion 10.
In FIGURES 2 and 3 I have shown the hole 16 and the board 18 as provided with a metal lining or sleeve 30.
In the arrangement disclosed in FIGURES 5 and 6 no such lining or sleeve is illustrated and in such cases the terminal preferably has secured thereto, a strip or slug 32 of solder, portions of which are anchored in holes 34 in the ears 11. During the soldering operation above referred the strip 32 of solder will be melted under the in fiuence of the heat of the soldering operation and flow inwardly through holes 34 to solder join the wire to the ferrule portion 10 and downwardly over the outside so as to make connection with the circuitry on the board 18. The solder which flows upwardly into the hole 16 during the soldering operation forms an electrical connection between the circuitry on the opposite sides of the board 18.
The construction herein disclosed includes the following features:
(1) A mechanical joint between the wire 14 and the terminal.
(2) A solder joint between the terminal and the printed circuit on the board.
(3) A solder joint directly between the wire '14 and the circuitry on the board 18.
(4) A solder connection between the ferrule portion 10 of the terminal and the wire 14.
(5 The shape of the portion 12 which projects through the hole 16 allows for good capillary how of solder upwardly through the space between the portion :12 and the sides of the hole.
While I have illustrated and described preferred embodiments of my invention, it is understood that these are capable of modification, and I therefore do not wish to be. limited to the precise details set forth but desire to avail myself of such changes and alterations as fall within the purview of the following claims.
