An electrical component comprises a main body, a fulcrum portion and at least two terminals including a first terminal and a second terminal. Each of the terminals has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of one of the first terminal and the second terminal is brought into contact with a circuit board when the main body is tilted relative to the circuit board with the fulcrum portion, which acts as a fulcrum, under an insertion state where the terminals are inserted into through-holes, respectively, while none of the terminals are soldered thereto. When the main body is tilted relative to the circuit board with the fulcrum portion, which acts as the fulcrum, under the insertion state, the second portion of one of the first terminal and the second terminal is brought into contact with the circuit board to regulate an excessive tilt of the main body.

An electrical assembly that includes a substrate having an aperture. A flat conductor is mounted to the substrate and extends over at least a portion of the aperture, with a ring terminal in contact with the flat conductor adjacent to the aperture. A lead wire connects to the ring terminal and is spaced from the substrate, and a fastener extends through the ring terminal and flat conductor, secured in the aperture, and securing the ring terminal against the flat conductor.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) with a connector to electrically connect the PCB with another apparatus. In embodiments, the apparatus may include a PCB having a via that begins on a first surface of the PCB and ends inside the PCB. The apparatus may further include a connector to electrically connect the PCB with another apparatus or another portion of the apparatus. The connector may include a pin to provide connectivity between the PCB and the connector. The pin may be inserted into the via in response to an attachment of the connector to the PCB. The PCB may include a space that extends from an end of the via inside the PCB to a second surface of the PCB opposite the first surface, to accommodate layers for signal routing inside the PCB. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

An electrical terminal includes a terminal body and a mounting portion. The terminal body has a front edge, a rear edge, and two opposite lateral edges. At least part of the terminal body is bent, and the two lateral edges are butt jointed to form a buttjoint portion. The buttjoint portion has a joint seam between the two lateral edges which are butt jointed, and the buttjoint portion further includes a stamped groove spanning the joint seam. The mounting portion extends from the terminal body. An electrical connector is also provided, which includes a base and the electrical terminal.

A method comprises inserting a press-fit element into a through hole on a substrate board. The method also comprises obtaining a target heat-application plan for the press-fit element.

The method also comprises withdrawing heat from the press-fit element.

In a general aspect, an electronic device assembly includes a substrate arranged in a plane. The substrate has a first side and a second side, the second side being opposite the first side. The assembly also includes a plurality of semiconductor die disposed on the first side of the substrate and at least one signal pin. The at least one signal pin includes a proximal end portion coupled with the first side of the substrate, a distal end portion, and a medial portion disposed between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion. The medial portion is pre-molded in a molding compound, the proximal end portion and the distal end portion exclude the molding compound. The at least one signal pin is arranged along a longitudinal axis that is orthogonal to the plane of the substrate.

Press-in machine for pressing electrical, electronic, mechanical and/or electromechanical components into a substrate, in particular into a circuit board or carrier board, including a lower tool, which for pressing-is in contact against the underside of the substrate, an upper tool, which with an upper pressing unit for pressing-in the component can be moved against the component along the z-axis toward the substrate, and a changing unit for automatically changing the lower or upper tool. The changing unit includes a magazine in which a plurality of tools can be deposited, one or more tool-holders, a tool being provided in or on each of the tool-holders, a displacement unit with which the respective tool holder can be moved along a displacement direction out of the magazine and into a pressing receptacle of a pressing unit, and a locking device, with which the respective tool-holder can be locked in the pressing receptacle.
