摘要:
This retention apparatus (60; 160) seats and holds an object (20, 30; 200, 400) in place with a constantly applied force (A-B). In the preferred embodiments the device has two resilient bow-shaped elongated members (79, 80; 179, 180) that outwardly extend on opposite sides of a handle (61-62; 161). Actuating the handle in a linear direction (X) causes the object to move in the same direction to the desired location carrying the resilient members as it does so. At the desired location, the movement of the object is stopped, but further travel of the handle in the same direction is accomplished by deflection of the resilient bow-shaped members which in turn provides the constantly applied biasing force to the object to seat and hold it in place. An embodiment is described for a retention apparatus (60) to seat and hold a double sided printed circuit (PC) card (20) in a pair of zero insertion force (ZIF) type edge connectors (50). In another embodiment, the device (160) seats and holds two mating connector members, such as a receptacle (200) and header (700) which having mating terminals (400) and pins (500).
摘要:
An integrated circuit module to printed circuit board interconnection system is disclosed wherein the board (10) has circuit pads (15) to which spring contacts (16) have one of their ends soldered. The module (17) has circuit pads (20) on one surface thereof and means (14, 21, 23) are provided for loading the module onto the circuit board whereby the opposite ends of the spring contacts engage the circuit pads on the module with a wiping action and are retained in engagement therewith.
