Abstract
An identification device for a printed circuit board, having a plurality of wirewrap terminals, includes a base portion and a plurality of flexibly mounted, raised identification projections. The base portion has provision therein for securing the device to spaced-apart rows of generally parallel terminals. When the device is in place, the flexible mounting arrangement for the identification projections permits ready access by a wirewrap tool.
Claims7
Apparatus for facilitating identification of parallel rows of interconnection pins on a circuit board including
- a base portion,
- means, integral with said base portion, for securing said apparatus to said parallel rows of interconnection pins,
- identifier means, and
- means for flexibly mounting said identifier means to said base portion.
Apparatus for facilitating identification of parallel rows of interconnection pins on a circuit board including
- a base portion having a plurality of spaced-apart, generally circular apertures distributed along parallel edge regions thereof, each of said apertures having a diameter slightly smaller than a base diameter of each of said interconnection pins for frictionally securing said apparatus to said interconnection pins, and
- a plurality of spaced-apart, generally rectangular-shaped elongated members integral with and extending generally perpendicularly away from said base portion, each of said members having integral therewith at one end a generally triangular-shaped projection, said projection having first and second faces which intersect at a point spaced apart from one of said elongated members, said first face having at least one identification marking thereon, each of said elongated members intersecting said base portion at an opposite end and having first and second generally oppositely directed arcuate surfaces producing a thickening in said members in a region juxtaposed said base portion, said thickening enabling repeated elastic flexures of said triangular-shaped projection as a wiring tool engages one of said interconnection pins.
