ABSTRACT:
An adapter for removably mounting electronic components on a circuit board or the like is disclosed which includes an insulating base having a plurality of holes extending therethrough, with a plurality of contacts disposed within the holes. Each contact includes a board-engaging section which extends from the base for compliantly engaging a hole in the circuit board. Each contact further includes a base-engaging section which resiliently engages a hole within the base, with the base-engaging section strongly engaging the adapter base to provide for essentially permanent placement therein. Each contact further includes a component end including means for mating with a component placed in contact therewith, which means may comprise solder on the component-facing side of the component end of the contact. Typically, a component will be placed on the base with mating conductive strips in contact with the component ends of the contacts. The solder will be melted and cooled, forming a permanent junction of the component to the adapter. The combined modular unit of component and adapter is then plugged into a printed circuit board which includes holes for engaging with the board-engaging sections of the adapter contacts.
