Abstract
An electrical transition device includes a cover unit, a printed circuit board received in the cover unit, an electronic component mounted on the printed circuit board. The electronic component has a body and a pair of electrode tails extending from a bottom surface of the body. A support member is positioned between the body of the electronic component and the printed circuit board. The support member forms a pair of slots extending along a longitudinal surface thereof for receiving the electrode tails of the electronic component.
Claims7
An electrical transition device comprising:
- a cover unit;
- a printed circuit board received in the cover unit;
- an electrical component mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB), the electronic component having a body and a plurality of electrode tails extending from a bottom surface of the body;
- and
- a support member secured between the electrode tails of the electronic component, and positioned between the body of the electronic component and the printed circuit board, thereby facilitating proper positioning and mounting of the electronic component on the PCB, wherein the support member forms a plurality of longitudinal slots extending along a peripheral surface thereof for receiving corresponding electrode tails of the electronic component.
