Abstract:
A PCB module includes a first rigid PCB having a first edge connector, a second rigid PCB having a second edge connector, and a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a flexible connecting board, an elastic member, and a fixing member. The flexible connecting has a number of connecting circuit traces isolated from each other. The flexible connecting board is bent in such a manner that a first end portion is in contact with the first edge connector, and a second end portion is in contact with the second edge connector. Thus, the first edge connector is electrically connected with the second edge connector by the traces. The elastic member is compressed between the end portions of the flexible connecting board. The fixing member is configured to fix the first rigid PCB to the second rigid PCB and compress the elastic member.

Abstract:
A bussed electrical center has a power cable for feeding electrical power to the bussed electrical center. A printed circuit board subassembly is interposed between a first housing member and a second housing member that are connectable together. An electrically conductive connector has a prong end and a distal end. The prong end is operably connected to the printed circuit board subassembly. A first fastener and a second fastener are positioned on opposite sides of the first and second housing members. When the first and second fasteners are tightened together to a draw the first and second housing members together to mechanically fasten the bussed electrical center together, the distal end and the terminal end are pressed against each other for electrical connection to each other to electrically connect the power cable to the printed circuit board subassembly.

An LED assembly includes a circuit board, one or more LED modules, one or more positioning plates and a heat dissipating plate. One or more openings are disposed in the circuit board. An electric terminal is provided on either side of each hole. A circuit pattern is provided on the circuit board to allow a parallel connection of each electric terminal. The heat dissipating plate is installed under the circuit board. Several connective holes are provided in the heat dissipating plate. In assembly, each hole is aligned with the corresponding LED module and the positioning plate is installed on top of the corresponding LED module. Several fasteners are used to fixedly connect the positioning plates, LED modules, circuit board and heat dissipating plate together. Therefore, the LED modules may be securely fixed.
Abstract:
A connecting member such as a terminal base is used, which allows a printed circuit board unit in which circuit elements such as a power module are mounted on a printed circuit board to be rated at higher current as compared to a conventional printed circuit board unit; and therefore an increase in size of the unit can be reduced or prevented with a simple configuration of connection sections. The connecting member of an electrical circuit connects the circuit element of the electrical circuit including the printed circuit board, to an electrical wire. The connecting member includes a terminal connecting section to be directly connected to terminal pins of the circuit element; a wire connecting section to be connected to the electrical wire; and attachment sections for attaching the connecting member to the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A surface mounting lug terminal formed of a metallic plate having terminal leads and positioning projections can readily be positioned on a printed board with high precision by fitting the positioning projections into positioning cutouts formed in the printed board. The terminal leads of the surface mounting lug terminal can easily be soldered to land patterns on the printed board to secure the surface mounting lug terminal onto the printed board irrespective of the number of terminal leads. The surface mounting lug terminal can be reduced in size, thus to contribute miniaturization of electronic circuits.
Abstract:
Provided is a structure for fixing a camera module on a biodrive. The structure includes a socket fixed on a top surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) of the biodrive. The camera module is combined with the socket. A holder member is disposed over the camera module and covers the camera module. A plurality of fixing units may fix the holder member to fix the camera module on the PCB. The structure can prevent distortion and deviation of the camera module due to external shock.
