Method for assembling a multi-deck power supply device

Abstract

A method for assembling a multi-deck power supply device including control and power components. The method comprises providing a first circuit board having a first and a second side. Two prefabricated pin holders are positioned on the first side of the first circuit board. Each pin holder includes two threaded inserts, a set of first pins and a set of second pins. The first pins are floating for self-alignment during soldering. After the first pins are soldered on the first side of the first circuit board, a second circuit board is aligned above the first circuit board, and the first and second pins are soldered to the second circuit board. The first pins may include pre-assembled oscillation dampers, such as magnetic material beads.
