Abstract
For purposes of assembling contact pins (12) disposed in a row onto a circuit board (16), the pins (12) are grasped via a force fit in an insulating body (20) at their ends facing away from the circuit board (16)and are supported to prevent tilting. The body (20) has a suction surface (26) for an automated assembly device. After insertion of the pins (12) into the circuit board (16) and after the soldering process, the body (20) is pulled off the pins (12), so that they sit freely in the circuit board (16).
Claims8
A device for assembling pins (12) arranged in at least one row, spaced apart from each another, which pins serve as electrical contacts, onto a circuit board (16) having an insulating body that accommodates the pins (12), positions and orients them axially in the spaced configuration of the row, and having a suction surface to grasp the row of pins (12) for purposes of assembly by means of an automated assembly device,
- characterized in that the body (20) grasps each of the ends of the pins (12) that face away from the circuit board (16) with a force fit in the direction of the axis of the pins (12), and with a positive fit to prevent tilting of the axis of the pins (12), the body (20) can be pulled off after the pins (12) are assembled, and the suction surface (26) is formed on the surface of the body (20) that faces away from the pins (12),
- wherein the pins (12) are configured for through-hole assembly and have an end that can be inserted into a hole of the circuit board (16),
- wherein at least one spacer (34) is formed onto the body (20), which spacer comes to a stop on the circuit board (16) and limits the insertion depth of the pins (12) into the circuit board (16).
