Connection element for use in surface mounted device-technology for connecting connector pin at printed circuit board, has sheet metal contact element lying at walls of inner space of cage element, and forming contact surface for pin

摘要

The element (1) has a metallic cage element i.e. sheet metal embossing part, comprising connection elements i.e. contact pins (2), at a lower side (3) for connection with contacting surfaces of a printed circuit board, an inner space and rear cut openings for a connector pin at upper sides. A sheet metal contact element i.e. contact lamella element, is trapped in the inner space of the cage element, which is made of a massive metal block. The sheet metal contact element lies at walls of the inner space. The sheet metal contact element forms a contact surface for the connector pin.
