Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0546884A1] An insulating body carries a series of bent-over pins (300) which, by means of one of their arms (310), can be plugged into a plated-through hole (510) of a printed-circuit board (500). <??>According to the invention, the insulating body includes:   - an angle bracket (100), with a mounting flange (110) whose outer face (112) rests against the board, and   - a pressure block (200), with bearing surfaces (220) bearing against the pins so as to exert, on the latter, a force (F) causing press-fitting into the plated-through holes, and bearing surfaces (230) bearing against the mounting flange. <??>The geometry of the assembly is such that, when the first bearing surfaces come to bear, without stress, on the pins, a clearance (J2) remains between the second bearing surfaces and the mounting flange, this clearance being greater than the permanent deformation of the pins and of the insulating body after press-fitting the pins and relieving the stresses, so as to keep the angle bracket perfectly pressed up against the board. <IMAGE>
