ABSTRACT:
A power plug (10) for a printed circuit board (12) has a main contact body (30). The body (30) has a generally cylindrical portion (32), which is threaded at (34) on its outside surface along its length. An integral spring contact portion (36) projects from the cylindrical portion (32). The spring contact portion (36) has enlarged tips (46) and a pair of opposed slots (48). The portion (36) extends through a board contact and heat sink (50) and has a contact ridge (52), which engages the plated through main contact hole (24). The plug (10) is installed by first inserting legs (54) of the board contact/heat sink (50) into mounting holes (26). Spring contact portion (36) of the contact body (30) is then inserted through the board contact/heat sink (50) into the main contact hole (24) of the printed circuit board (12), with the enlarged tips (46) extending along the greater diameter of the oval. The main contact body is then rotated 90 degrees, so that the enlarged tips (46) engage the back side (22) of the printed circuit board (12).
