DISPOSITIF POUR MAINTENIR UNE PLAQUETTE A CIRCUIT IMPRIME SUR UN CHASSIS

L'INVENTION CONCERNE UN DISPOSITIF DESTINE A MAINTENIR UNE PLAQUETTE A CIRCUIT IMPRIME SUR UN CHASSIS. LE CHASSIS (5,6) COMPORTE DES ELEMENTS DE MAINTIEN ( 7, 8, 9)QUI COOPERENT AVEC DES PARTIES EXTREMES( 4) DES CONNECTEURS (2) DE FACON A MAINTENIR CES DERNIERS ET LA PLAQUETTE 1 A CIRCUIT IMPRIME. LE CHASSIS (5, 6) COMPORTE UNE LANGUETTE (7) PORTANT CONTRE LE DEVANT DE LA PARTIE EXTREME (4) ET UN SUPPORT MOBILE (8) QUI EST MAINTENU EN CONTACT CONTRE LE DOS DE LA PLAQUETTE( 1) DERRIERE LA PLAQUETTE (7), A L'AIDE D'UNE VIS (9). DOMAINE D'APPLICATION : MONTAGE DE PALQUETTES FILLES A CIRCUIT IMPRIME SUR DES PLAQUETTES PLACEES EN FOND DE COMPARTIMENT BAS DES ARMOITRES DE MATERIEL ELECTRIQUE. PCT No. PCT/SE88/00252 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 23, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 23, 1989 PCT Filed May 18, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/09600 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 1, 1988.An arrangement for retaining a printed circuit board on a frame is disclosed. Connectors are mounted on the printed circuit board and have electrical connection pins connected to electrical conductors in the printed circuit board. The connectors are elongate and have end portions bearing against the front of the printed circuit board. The frame has holders coacting with the end portions, and these holders retain the connectors and the printed circuit board. The frame has a tongue engaging against the front of the end portion, and a movable support is kept in engagement against the back of the printed circuit board behind the tongue with the aid of a screw. The forces occurring when a means complementary to the connector is connected to the connector are transferred to the frame by the connector, and the printed circuit board can thus be made thin.
