Abstract
A mounting structure for mounting a printed circuit board on a frame of an electronic device. The mounting structure comprises a body, a lead, and a threaded portion. The threaded portion is formed on the body, and receives a screw. The printed circuit board is secured to a frame of an electronic device using the mounting structure. Specifically, the mounting structure is secured to the frame using the screw. The lead is soldered to lands on a mounting surface of the printed circuit board by a process for mounting electronic parts (e.g. an IC or LSI package) on the mounting surface of the electronic device.
Claims22
A mounting structure for receiving a screw to mount a printed circuit board to a frame of an electronic device, comprising:
- (a) a body;
- (b) a threaded portion formed on a side of the body corresponding to the frame, the threaded portion receiving the screw for securing the body to the frame;
- and
- (c) at least one lead disposed on the body and extending from the body to the printed circuit board, the lead being soldered to lands on a mounting surface of the printed circuit board, the lead supporting the body away from the mounting surface to define a space between the body of the mounting structure and the mounting surface of the printed circuit board.
A mounting structure for receiving a screw to mount a printed circuit board to a frame of an electronic device, comprising:
- (a) a body;
- (b) a threaded portion formed on a side of the body corresponding to the frame, the threaded portion receiving the screw for securing the body to the frame;
- and
- (c) at least one lead disposed on the body and extending from the body to the printed circuit board, the lead being soldered to lands on a mounting surface of the printed circuit board;
- wherein the body is made of a conductive material, the lead is insert-molded in the body, the body is joined, for electrical connection, to the frame using a conductive screw inserted into the threaded portion, and the lead is joined to a land connected to a reference power supply of the printed circuit board for electrical connection therewith.
A mounting structure for receiving a screw to mount a printed circuit board to a frame of an electronic device, comprising:
- (a) a body;
- (b) a threaded portion formed on a side of the body corresponding to the frame, the threaded portion receiving the screw for securing the body to the frame;
- and
- (c) at least one lead disposed on the body and extending from the body to the printed circuit board, the lead being soldered to lands on a mounting surface of the printed circuit board;
- wherein the lead is insert-molded in the body, has a portion exposed in the threaded portion of the body, is partially connected to the frame by a conductive screw inserted in the threaded portion, and is connected to a land connected to a reference power supply of the electronic device.
A mounting structure for mounting a printed circuit board to a frame comprising:
- (a) a body adapted to be secured to the frame, having a frame end and a printed circuit board end;
- (b) a lead disposed on said body, extending from said body to said printed circuit board;
- and
- a threaded portion for receiving a screw on said frame end of said body for securing said body to said frame;
- and wherein said frame is electrically conductive and said body is electrically conductive and said lead is electrically conductive and wherein the lead electrically contacts the printed circuit board so as to define an electrically conductive path from the printed circuit board through said lead and said body to said frame.
A mounting structure for mounting a printed circuit board to a frame comprising:
- a body;
- a fastener;
- said body having a frame end and a printed circuit board end;
- said body frame end having a means for securing said fastener to said body so as to dispose said body from said frame and intermediate said frame and printed circuit board;
- at least one lead;
- means for securing said at least one lead from said printed circuit board end of said body so as to be in a position for contacting the printed circuit board, the lead supporting the body away from the printed circuit board to define a space between the body of the mounting structure and the printed circuit board.
A mounting structure for mounting a printed circuit board to a frame comprising:
- a body;
- a fastener;
- said body having a frame end and a printed circuit board end;
- said body frame end having a means for securing said fastener to said body so as to dispose said body from said frame and intermediate said frame and printed circuit board;
- at least one lead;
- means for securing said at least one lead from said printed circuit board end of said body so as to be in a position for contacting the printed circuit board;
- wherein said fastener is a screw and said means for securing said fastener to said body is a threaded portion on said body for receiving said screw and said means for securing said at least one lead consists of soldering the lead to a surface on the printed circuit board;
- wherein the screw is conductive and the lead is conductive and wherein the lead is disposed through the body and a portion of said lead is exposed in the threaded portion of said body so as to electrically contact the screw inserted in the threaded portion, so as to create an electrically conductive path between the printed circuit board and the frame.
