A method for removably assembling an electrical termination on a printed circuit, by means of a connector comprises a metal plate comprising:
- a peripheral area for fastening the connector on the printed circuit;
- a central orifice for inserting the electrical termination and having an internal diameter smaller than an external diameter of the electrical termination;
- a plurality of retaining tabs for retaining the electrical termination, each of the retaining tabs extending from the peripheral area towards the central orifice, and comprising an elastically deformable portion whereby the retaining tab is attached to the peripheral area and a free end forming an edge of the central orifice, the free end comprising a curved edge and a sharp edge, the curved edge and the sharp edge being respectively positioned opposite to each other so that the curved edge is oriented towards a removable assembly face of the metal plate, and that the sharp edge is oriented towards a permanent assembly face of the metal plate, opposite to the permanent assembly face, wherein:
- the free ends of the retaining tabs delimit together the central orifice,
- the respective sharp edges of the free ends of the retaining tabs are configured to establish an electrical contact between the connector and the electrical termination and prevent removal the electrical termination from the connector without irreversible deformation or destruction of at least a part of the connector, when the electrical termination is inserted into the central orifice from the permanent assembly face, and
- the respective curved edges of the free ends of the retaining tabs are configured to establish an electrical contact between the connector and the electrical termination and allow removal the electrical termination from the connector without damaging the connector, when the electrical termination is inserted into the central orifice from the removable assembly face,
- wherein the method comprises:
- fastening the connector on the printed circuit, at the level of the peripheral area of the connector, the connector being positioned so that its central orifice is opposite to an insertion hole provided in the printed circuit and intended to accommodate the electrical termination;
- inserting the electrical termination into the central orifice, to assemble the electrical termination to the connector,
- and wherein:
- the assembly of the electrical termination with the connector is removable such that the electrical termination can be removed from the connector without damaging the connector, when the insertion is carried out from the removable assembly face of the connector, and
- the assembly of the electrical termination with the connector is permanent such that the electrical termination cannot be removed from the connector without irreversible deformation or destruction of at least a part of the connector, when the insertion is carried out from the permanent assembly face of the connector.
