ABSTRACT:
A novel approach for mounting electrical components, particularly reed switch type relays, on printed circuit boards to accommodate and positionally match contact pins, which are operatively connected to the component terminals, to a fixed pattern of openings on the printed circuit boards. The method system and apparatus of the invention provide the advantages of a simple, high volume, low cost manufacturing system of components and mounting contact pins while allowing substantial flexibility in the contact pattern. A relay user can optimize a circuit design without requiring a completely custom designed and constructed relay to operatively mate with a given circuit board opening pattern. The contact pin arrangement, i.e., the component contact pin "foot print" is obtained by inserting the contact pins of a completed component in a desired pattern of openings in a separate segment or piece of unclad circuit board base plate, the openings therein having been preformed to match the circuit board opening pattern. The component is mounted to the base plate, constituted in part by the segment of unclad circuit board, with the "foot print" pattern of openings therein, and an appropriately completed unit is thereafter easily mountable on a circuit board, with the openings therein mated by the component contact pins to fit the circuit on the circuit board.
