Abstract
In a method for fixing an electrical or an electronic component, particularly a printed-circuit board, in a housing used to accommodate the component, and a fixing element for fixing the component by clamping it in place, the component is fitted with at least one fixing element, which includes an elastically yielding press-on part which, during the clamping in place of the component in the housing, is brought to lie against a part of the housing and is pressed against it while being deformed.
Claims14
A fixing element for fixing a component in a housing by clamping the component in place, comprising:
- a fastener device adapted to rigidly fasten on the component;
- an elastically yieldable press-on part which, during the clamping in position of the component in the housing, is adapted to be brought to lie against a part of the housing and to be pressed against the part of the housing during deformation;
- wherein the component includes at least one of (a) an electrical component, (b) an electronic component, and (c) a printed-circuit board,
- wherein the fastener device includes a plurality of soldering pins which project beyond the fixing element.
A system, comprising:
- a component including at least one of (a) an electrical component, (b) an electronic component, and (c) a printed-circuit board;
- and
- at least one fixing element including:
- a fastener device adapted to rigidly fasten on the component;
- and
- an elastically yieldable press-on part which, during the clamping in position of the component in the housing, is adapted to be brought to lie against a part of the housing and to be pressed against the part of the housing during deformation,
- wherein the fastener device includes a plurality of soldering pins which project beyond the fixing element.
