Abstract
The invention relates to a device for forming connections of a printed circuit board which is arranged within a signal receiver frame. The device comprises a plurality of connection elements (3a . . . 3k) whose end portions are bent, each end portion being provided with at least one projection (5). Between each time two connection elements (3a . . . 3k) there is provided a respective detainer (4a . . . 4j) whose end portion is also bent. The end portions of the connection elements (3a . . . 3k) define a plane which extends parallel to a plane defined by the end portions of the detainers (4a . . . 4j).
Claims7
A device comprising:
- a plurality of connection elements extending outwardly from a common planar base and having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base;
- and
- a respective detainer extending outwardly from said planar base coplanar with said plurality of connection elements, said respective detainer having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base in a direction opposite to the direction of said connection element bent portion, and at least one said detainer being provided between each two adajacent connection elements,
- the end portions of said connection elements defining a plane which extends parallel to a plane defined by the end portions of said detainers.
An arrangement which include a frame, notably for receiving a printed circuit board for a signal receiver with a device connected to the frame, which devise comprises:
- a plurality of connection elements extending outwardly from a common planar base and having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base;
- and
- a respective detainer extending outwardly from said planar base coplanar with said plurality of connection elements, said respective detainer having a bent end portion extending substantially normal to the plane of said base in a direction opposite to the direction of said connection element bent portion, and at least one said detainer being provided between each two adjacent connection elements,
- the end portions of said connection elements defining a plane which extends parallel to a plane defined by the end portions of said detainers.
