The connection member may further include a stopper, and may be designed to minimize the repulsive force provided by the connection member when excessive pressure is applied to the electronic device.

In one example, a first tubular member has a first diameter and is configured to attach to a printed circuit board. A second tubular member has a second diameter different from the first diameter and is configured to hold an environmental sensor for collecting data relating to an environment of the printed circuit board. The second tubular member is vertically adjustable relative to the first tubular member.

A stacked I/O connector with surface mountable tails and a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to receive the connector. The connector may avoid terminal deformations or scratches when the connector is mounted to the PCB. The PCB may include solder pads on a single surface or both surfaces. The sold pads may be configured for the tails of the connector to be attached with a surface mount soldering technique. As a result, the connector has high density and high speed, requires, requires a smaller mounting area on a PCB, relaxes the limitations in routing PCB traces, and reduces the electrical performance deterioration caused by PCB trace routing limitations. The connector may have row-oriented terminal subassemblies, holes in the connector housing and other features to facilitate reliable manufacture and operation of the connector.

A first resin layer (1) has: a covered region which is covered by a second resin layer (2) and an exposed region (1a); a contact part (1b) which is provided in the exposed region (1a); and a bend part (1c) which is provided between (a) a boundary between the covered region and the exposed region (1a) and (b) the contact part (1b).

A connector includes a metal cylinder with three or more slots cut from a first end and three or more slots cut from a second end which are intercalated between the slots from the first end, whereby the connector is radially compressible along its entire length. The connector is adapted for insertion at one end into a hole in a circuit board, thereby making electrical contact to traces in the circuit board.

Disclosed is a printed circuit board having at least one power semiconductor soldered thereon and, as a thermal fuse, a spring having two contact arms fastened to solder pads of the printed circuit board by soldered connections. The spring is under mechanical stress such that at least one of the two contact arms moves away from one of the solder pads by spring force as soon as the soldered connection loses its strength and fails due to overheating. The soldered connection of at least one of the contact arms loses its strength at a lower temperature and is formed from a different alloy than the soldered connection that connects the power semiconductor to the printed circuit board. A method for populating a printed circuit board is also described.

A cooling device for cooling a plurality of electronic components mounted on a circuit board. The device includes a contact sheet shaped for conforming to the plurality of electronic components and comprising a mating face for mating against the plurality of electronic components and a cooled face. An enclosure is mounted to the cooled face and defines a coolant transport circuit for circulating coolant liquid there thorough. A coupling may be provided for biassing the mating face toward the plurality of electronic components.

What is described is a mounting aid for mounting electrical components, in particular electrolytic capacitors or chokes, on a printed circuit board, said mounting aid comprising a body, which has compartments for receiving the electrical components, wherein the compartments have a base with openings for the insertion of connection wires of the electrical components, and metal parts fastened to the body, which metal parts each form at least one contact pin on the underside of the body and each from a busbar for connection to electrical components in a plurality of compartments of the body.
