ABSTRACT:
A press-fit connector has an insulative body carrying a series of right-angle pins one branch of which can be force-fitted into a through-plated hole in a printed circuit. The insulative body comprises an angle-bracket having a mounting flange whose outside surface is adapted to bear against the board and a pressure block with bearing surfaces adapted to bear against the pins in order to apply to them a force which forces them into the through-plated holes and other bearing surfaces adapted to bear against the mounting flange. The geometry of the assembly is such that when the first bearing surfaces bear without external loading on the pins there remains a clearance between the second bearing surfaces and the mounting flange which is greater than the permanent deformation of the pins and the insulative body after the pins are forced in and the external loading is removed, so that the angle-bracket is held perfectly against the board.
