Latest Patents
One of Lin's latest patents focuses on an electrical connector with improved connector pin support. This invention features a 'through-hole mounting' boardlock fixture designed to secure an electrical connector to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) using Surface Mounting Technology (SMT). The boardlock fixture includes a rim with an opening and a solder block that can be inserted within this opening. Additionally, a series of flexibly mounted fingers extend downward from the rim, providing support for the boardlock when inserted. The SMT process is utilized to melt the solder block, effectively mounting the connector to the PCB. Another aspect of this invention involves a housing that defines a row of apertures for pin contacts, each with a downward extension that connects to the PCB circuit. A spacer engages the housing's back region, creating extension supports for the downward extensions. The method for mounting involves securing a through-hole fixture to the component and inserting it into a PCB mounting aperture, followed by soldering the fixture to the PCB.
