Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0725459A2] There is provided a small electronic device to which highly reliable electrical connections can be obtained by superimposing and clamping a circuit board (50) and terminals (40,42,44,46) of an electrical connector together. The terminals ((40,42,44,46) are insert-molded in a housing (10) so that the contacts (40b,42b,44b,46b) of the terminals (40,42,44,46) are aligned with conductive pads on the board (50). The end portions of the board (50) and the contacts (40b,42b,44b,46b) are springably or elastically clamped in a superimposed state by clamping members (60,60'). The connection between the board (50) and the contacts (40b,42b,44b,46b) is maintained by metal plates (64) under spring forces thereof. Elastic bodies (64') may be used instead of the metal plates (64). <IMAGE>
