Disclosed is a method and apparatus for mounting an electrical connector on a printed wiring board. The printed wiring board is initially positioned on locating projections on a tooling plate. Eyelets are positioned in hold down apertures in the connector. The hold down apertures initially engage the locating projections to align the connector pins with pin receiving apertures on the printed wiring board. Engagement continues until the pins are positioned in the apertures and the lower end of the eyelet is deformed to engage the innerside of the down aperture and the lower side of the printed wiring board.

Disclosed is a clip for use in mounting an electrical connector to a printed circuit board (PCB). The clip includes a resilient first panel having a central opening or recess, a second panel also having a central opening or recess and being generally parallel to the first panel, a vertical support connecting the first and second conductive panels, a pair of resilient tin engaging arms suspended over the second conductive panel, and a vertical structure connecting the second panel to the pin engaging arms. Also disclosed is an assembly comprised of the clip as engaged with an electrical connector and a PCB.

Disclosed is an electrical header assembly comprised of an insulative housing having pins extending from its mounting and mating sides and a mounting bracket adjacent its mounting side. A coding bar is superimposed over its mating side and is retained in position by a horizontal support having a vertical footer positioned between the bracket and its mounting side.

Mini channel extender apparatus

A battery terminal includes a ring and a plurality of upstanding fingers extending inwardly of the ring. Each finger includes an inwardly and outwardly-directed shoulder. The inwardly-directed shoulders are engageable with a male battery terminal and the outwardly-directed shoulders are engageable with a female battery terminal. Also, a polarizing shroud is provided having an opening to the inwardly-directed shoulders of the terminal or an opening to the outwardly-directed shoulders to provide the required polarization.

Battery snap terminal

An improved substrate for mounting electronic components including a plurality of uniformly spaced terminals on opposite sides along an edge of the substrate. The terminals comprise a contact having an outward bow, a narrowed transition section extending from the contact at an oblique angle from the longitudinal axis of the contact, and a tail bent at an angle, inserted through a first hole spaced from the edge of the substrate, bent at a second opposite angle along a side of the substrate, and inserted laterally in a second spaced hole by forming a U-shaped bend in the tail within the hole.
