Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a miniaturized electrical junction box including a miniaturized circuit board. The circuit board includes a plurality of transistors disposed side-by-side in-line each having a downwardly projecting control terminal, a laterally projecting output terminal, and an input terminal projecting oppositely of the control terminal and the output terminal of the associated transistor. The side-by-side in-line output terminals are oriented outwardly from the circuit board and inserted into a connector housing as connector terminals of a connector. The side-by-side in-line input terminals are connected to bus bars disposed rearward of the transistors for receiving electrical power through the bus bars.
Abstract:
The invention describes a plug contact (1) for electrically contacting a circuit board (2) by inserting the plug contact (1) into a via hole (3) in the circuit board (2), the plug contact having two flat contact arms (4, 5) that are resilient relative to each other, and a connecting region (6), from which the two contact arms (4, 5) extend in the plug-in direction (E) of the plug contact (1), the plug contact (1) being punched as a single piece from a flat metallic material. The plug contact (1) according to the invention permits a high normal contact force even when dimensions are compact, and thus ensures a good, lasting electrical contact even when the via holes (3) have a small diameter. The plug contact is characterized in that in the connection region (6), adjacent to the two contact arms (4, 5), a recess (7) is formed, the distance between the two contact arms (4, 5) increases from the recess (7) towards the free ends (4a, 5a) of the contact arms, the two contact arms (4, 5) being spread apart relative to each other and the two contact arms (4, 5) together having a width (B), which is the same as or only slightly smaller than the diameter (D) of the corresponding via hole (3) in the circuit board (2).
Abstract:
Provided is a circuit assembly that does not require e.g. bending of a terminal of an electronic component. A circuit assembly includes an electronic component that is to be mounted is connected to a conductive member through a first opening in a state in which its main body is disposed on one side of a substrate covering at least a part of the first opening formed in the substrate, and a first terminal is connected to a conductive pattern (a land) of the substrate, and a second terminal is connected to the conductive member through a second opening formed in the substrate.
Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a circuit board may include a connector configured to electrically couple a device to the circuit board. The connector may include a conductive element configured to be electrically coupled to a first voltage and a detection pad configured to be electrically coupled to a second voltage via a resistor, such that when a device pin of a device is electrically coupled to the conductive element, the detection pad is electrically coupled to the conductive element via the device pin.
Abstract:
The external lead from a critical circuit element in a circuit component of a larger apparatus is connected to a first terminal or connector pad on a printed circuit board and at a more distant point on the lead to a second connector pad. The connection to the next element of that component is made from the second pad. Any component output to the next circuit component is connected to the first pad. Thus, any high resistance in a poor solder joint appears on the safe side of the first pad connections, that is, in the circuit connections to the next element or in the output circuit.
