CONNECTING AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT TO A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

An electronic component is connected to a circuit board by forming a connector pin on the electronic component, the connector pin having a proximate end secured to the electronic component, a distal end with a fork lock, and a compliant portion between the proximate and distal ends. A multi-width th...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An electronic component is connected to a circuit board by forming a connector pin on the electronic component, the connector pin having a proximate end secured to the electronic component, a distal end with a fork lock, and a compliant portion between the proximate and distal ends. A multi-width through-hole is formed on a circuit board having a circuit board thickness greater than a length of the connector pin, with a first portion that is narrower than each of the compliant portion and the fork lock and extends partially through the circuit board and a second portion that extends beyond the first portion and is wider than the first portion. The connector pin is inserted into the first portion of the through-hole and the fork lock is moved beyond the first portion into the second portion of the through-hole.
