Abstract
In order to secure wired components of large mass or non-uniform mass distribution safely on a circuit board, without the components needing, as currently usual, to be glued onto the circuit board or held on the circuit board with snap-in holders, integrated into a connection bore for receiving a connection wire, or pin, of an electronic component a holding mechanism for secured holding of the connection wire, or pin. The holding mechanism represents a narrowing in the connection bore to a diameter smaller than that of the connection wire, or pin. The holding mechanism can be implemented, for example, by a connection bore embodied in the form of a bore drilled from one side of the circuit board, not completely through the circuit board. In such case, edge remains as a narrowing, which securely seizes the connection pin of the relevant component and holds the component fixed to the circuit board.
