Abstract:
A sensor unit 10 is provided with a metal plate 20 and a resin molded article 30 is formed integral to the metal plate 20. Busbars 50 are arranged in the resin molded article 30 and include exposed end portions 52 exposed from the resin molded article 30. Connecting portions 52A are provided at the leading ends of the exposed end portions 52 and are riveted to an oil temperature sensor 41 on the metal plate 20. Opposite lateral sides of the exposed end portions 52 are partly in contact with the resin molded article 30.
Abstract:
A connecting terminal has an electrically-conductive ring surrounding a columnar space. Electrically-conductive elastic pieces extend from the electrically-conductive ring in the direction of the central axis of the columnar space. Electrically-conductive blades stand from the outer surfaces of the electrically-conductive elastic pieces. A lead terminal is received in the columnar space. The tip ends of the electrically-conductive elastic pieces are urged against the lead terminal. The lead terminal is prevented from withdrawing out of the through hole. Electric connection is established between the lead terminal and the elastic pieces. The blade or blades of the connecting terminal or terminals stick into the wall surface of the through hole. The connecting terminal is thus firmly held in the through hole. Electric connection is established between the blade or blades and the through hole. Electric connection is thus established between the lead terminal and the through hole.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board having only one circuit element, said circuit element having one or more leads and each lead being in electrical communication to one end of a trace on the printed circuit board, wherein said trace has a second end terminating at a pad, wherein said pad is in electrical communication with a receptacle capable of receiving and retaining a wire. A printed circuit board selected from the group consisting of a printed circuit board having only two traces, a printed circuit board having only three traces, a printed circuit board having only four traces, a printed circuit board having only six traces, a printed circuit board having only eight traces, a printed circuit board having only ten traces, a printed circuit board having only twelve traces, a printed circuit board having only fourteen traces and a printed circuit board having only sixteen traces, wherein each trace has two ends, one end being a receptacle pad connected to a receptacle capable of receiving and retaining a wire, and the second end of said trace being a lead-pad electrically connected to a lead-receptacle, wherein said lead-receptacle is capable of receiving and retaining a lead or pin from a circuit element.
Abstract:
A composite support for fabricating a prototype electrical circuit has a rectangular planar board with a plurality of rows and columns of double sided annular toroidal connection eyelets. The planar board is mounted on a rectangular support tray having a well. The connection eyelets of the planar board have a diameter of from 1.30 mm to 1.80 mm. A high temperature sheet material adhered to the entire undersurface of the planar board, which is pierced by leads of electrical components inserted into the connection eyelets. A spongy retainer block or a breadboard may also be located in the support tray well.
Abstract:
In a fixation structure for fixing a lamp on a printed circuit board (PCB), a connection end of the lamp is received within a connection hole of the PCB and a reed having approximately cone shape is disposed between the lamp and the PCB. When the connection end of the lamp is continuously inserted into the connection hole of the PCB, a contact area between the connection end and the connection hole is increased, thereby effectively enhancing a contact-and-on performance of the lamp and the PCB.
Abstract:
An apparatus is adapted to be secured in a substrate having at least one conductive path and at least one aperture therein. The apparatus includes a cap and a tubular shaft, connected to the cap and positioned in a first aperture of the substrate. The tubular shaft has an electrically conductive wall portion and perforations therethrough, with the electrically conductive wall portion being operatively connected to a first conductive path of the substrate, and the perforations are adapted to permit flowthrough of material. The material facilitates the securing of at least the tubular shaft to the substrate.
Abstract:
An electrical connector has first terminals which are surface mounted to respective sides of a substrate and second terminals which extend through an edge surface of the substrate to make electrical connection to an opening provided in the substrate. As the connector is mated to the edge of the substrate, the connector occupies a minimal space on the substrate.
Abstract:
An improved rework method and rework pin for repairing and reworking multilayer printed circuit boards are described. The rework pin is constructed of conductive material having a configuration that accommodates the configuration of through holes in a multilayer printed circuit board assembly. The rework pin includes a cup-like structure at one end for cooperating with component leads, an elongated electrically insulated portion and an electrically conductive tip portion extending beyond the thickness of the multilayer board.
Abstract:
A through hole is formed by a drill in a defective through hole in a board. An insulating resin is coated on the inner surface of the through hole and a cylindrical conductor is closely fixed with an adhesive to the hole h1 to form a reproduced through hole. Thereafter, as usual, a part lead is inserted into and soldered in the reproduced through hole to thereby recover the connection of the lead with the wiring circuit copper foil impaired by the recovering operation of the defective through hole using an external lead.
