The present invention relates to a latching system, including a printed circuit board and an edge-contact plug, for establishing a latching connection between the printed circuit board and the edge-contact plug, including two retaining arms, each having a latch, the edge-contact plug including two mating latches for establishing the latching connection with the latch. The mating latches being formed on two different outer sides of the edge-contact plug as a set-back portion on the outer sides in each case, and the latches being able to engage with the set-back portions on the outer sides to establish the latching connection.

Provided are interconnects for interconnecting a set of battery cells, assemblies comprising these interconnects, methods of forming such interconnects, and methods of forming such assemblies. An interconnect includes a conductor comprising two portions electrically isolated from each other. At least one portion may include two contacts for connecting to battery cells and a fuse forming an electrical connection between these two contacts. The interconnect may also include an insulator adhered to the conductor and mechanically supporting the two portions of the conductor. The insulator may include an opening such that the fuse overlaps with this opening, and the opening does not interfere with the operation of the fuse. In some embodiments, the fuse may not directly interface with any other structures. Furthermore, the interconnect may include a temporary substrate adhered to the insulator such that the insulator is disposed between the temporary substrate and the conductor.

A detection device of the present invention is provided with: a housing; a circuit substrate disposed in the housing; a sensor which is electrically connected to the circuit substrate and detects information of an object to be measured; a connector terminal which is formed integrally with the circuit substrate and electrically connected to an external terminal; and a tubular connector which is formed integrally with the housing, surrounds a periphery of the connector terminal, and is fitted in the external connector. Through this configuration, the reduction in the number of components, the reduction in cost and weight, the simplification of structure, and other effects can be achieved.

Disclosed is an electrode device for measuring an electric biosignal. The electrode device includes a flexible PCB (printed circuit board) having a flexible support layer and a trace layer on a first side. The trace layer includes at least two electrode pads for skin contacts and, for each electrode pad, a solder pad and a conducting trace forming a galvanic connection between the electrode and the solder pad. The flexible PCB further includes an opening defining a flexible, elongated cantilever in a central portion of the flexible PCB, having a base end connected to the central portion and a free end separated from the central portion. The solder pads are located at the free end. The electrode device further includes a connector component on the second side, soldered to the solder pads on the free end of the cantilever.

Examples disclosed herein relate to a rigid board with a pliable region. An example system can include a board including a cut to form a beam region of pliability in the board. An example system may include a component to be mounted on the beam region. In an example, the cut can increase flexibility of the beam region relative to the board allowing movement of the component to a target alignment for the component.

Examples herein relate to cuts in a circuit board. In some examples, a circuit board can include a signal connector located on the circuit board, and cuts extending through at least a body of the circuit board that are adjacent to the signal connector and extend from a perimeter of the circuit board to an inner portion of the circuit board, where the circuit board flexes relative to the signal connector responsive to the circuit board experiencing a force.

A connection assembly generally comprising a thick conductor piece including a receptacle with an inner wall and a thin conductor piece. The thin conductor piece has a protrusion for insertion into the receptacle. A press-fit element can be inserted into the receptacle with the protrusion arranged in the receptacle between the press-fit element and the thick conductor piece.

An assembly for detecting a temperature of an electrically conductive element comprises a temperature probe and a heat conductor separate from the temperature probe and made of an electrically insulating and heat-conductive material. The heat conductor surrounds the temperature probe at least in sections and has a bearing surface bearing against the electrically conductive element.

A luminous means is disclosed, the luminous means having LEDs on a substrate, an outer bulb in which the substrate having the LEDs is arranged, and a cap, wherein at least two partial surfaces of the substrate are folded out with respect to the remaining substrate around a bridge area in each case, via which the particular partial surface is connected to the remaining substrate, and are thus set obliquely with respect to the remaining substrate which is flat per se, wherein, for each side surface of the remaining substrate, which side surfaces are opposite one another with respect to a thickness direction of the remaining substrate, at least one partial surface is folded out in each case, and wherein at least one of the LEDs is arranged on each of the partial surfaces.

A method of forming a component module is disclosed. A base is provided, the base being electrically conductive. An insulative layer is also provided on the base, with a first area being substantially free of the insulative layer. First and second traces are provided on the insulative layer adjacent the first area, with these traces extending therefrom. A die is positioned on the first area and electrically connected to the first and second traces. Finally, a protective layer is provided over the die.
