Abstract (en)

A solderable contact pin for printed circuit boards includes a terminal (2) and a mechanical coupling portion (3), extending along an axis (A). The mechanical coupling portion (3) has a length (L) less than the thickness (T) of a printed circuit board (15) and includes two elastic elements (6, 7), forming a fork along the axis (A) and provided with respective hooking elements (9, 10). The elastic elements (6, 7) are shaped so that, following the insertion of the mechanical coupling portion (3) in an opening with a width (W) less than a maximum distance (D) between respective outer edges (6a, 7a) of the elastic elements (6, 7), respective free ends (6b, 7b) of the elastic elements (6, 7) are rotated towards each other and the hooking elements (9, 10) are turned outwards to prevent the extraction of the mechanical coupling portion (3) from the opening.
