摘要:
An improved method and construction for positioning a plurality of socket terminals (34) on an electrical circuit board (22) in a predetermined configuration prior to the solder connection thereto. A sheet of electrically insulative, flexible, resinous plastic material (30, 30a) is provided with a plurality of holes (32, 32a) in an array conforming to the desired positioning of the sockets on the circuit boards. The socket terminals are provided with an enlarged generally cylindrical head (50) including an intermediate groove (68) such that the heads extend into the holes (32, 32a) and are adapted for frictional snap engagement with the sheet (30, 30a). The sheet with the array of sockets temporarily held thereby is positioned on the circuit board which is then conventionally soldered so as to electrically and mechanically fix the sockets to the boards. Thereafter, the sheet may be removed. The enlarged head (50) of the circuit terminal is provided with leading edge sheet contacting surface (66) to enable the terminals to be push positioned into the holes without injuring the sheet.
