ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electrical transition device, and particularly to an electrical transition device having an improved LED positioning means.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5
, a conventional electrical transition device
1
related to the present invention substantially includes a cover unit
11
, a printed circuit board (PCB)
12
received in the cover unit
11
and electronic components
13
mounted on the PCB
12
. Each electronic component
13
includes two electrode tails
131
for being soldered to the PCB
12
. However, since the electrode tails
131
are thin and long, properly positioning and mounting the electronic components
13
become difficulty. The result may be that the electrode tails
131
are deformed or the electronic component
13
extend out of the shell
11
.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electrical transition device having a support member for facilitating properly positioning and mounting electronic components on a PCB.
In order to achieve the object set forth, an electrical transition device in accordance with the present invention comprises a cover unit, a printed circuit board received in the cover unit and an electronic component mounted on the printed circuit board. The electronic component has a body portion and a plurality of electrode tails extending from a bottom surface of the body. A support member is secured between the electrode tails of the electronic component at one end, and positioned between the body of the electronic component and the printed circuit board at the other end, thereby facilitating proper positioning and mounting of the electrical component on the PCB.
