A base plate for an electronic component, in particular an electronic relay, has a plate-shaped base body, in particular made of plastic, and at least one electrical contact. The electrical contact fully extends through the base body. At one end the electrical contact forms an electrical terminal of the electronic component, in particular of the relay. At another end the electrical contact has an electrically conductive connection section which can be connected to a circuit board without soldering, in particular by being pressed into the circuit board, to form a permanent electrical connection.

A signal connector comprises: a first part, having at least one electrical contact part, and a first body configured to be electrically insulating; a second part, having at least one electrical pin, and a second body configured to be electrically insulating and separate from the first body, and the electrical pin is configured to protrude from the second body; and an electrical connection body, extending from each electrical contact part to each electrical pin, in order to establish an electrical connection between the electrical contact part and the electrical pin, wherein the electrical connection body is configured to be deformable and comprises at least two bending parts, and at least part of the electrical connection body is located outside the first part and the second part, such that the position of the second part relative to the first part is variable.

A connector that enables electronic assemblies to be efficiently configured for any of multiple power requirements. The connector may have a mating interface, which may mate with a power supply, a mounting interface for attaching the connector to a PCB and a power tap off interface. The power tap off interface enables distribution of a portion of the power received through the mating interface to remote locations on the PCB. Terminals with portions at each of the mating interface, mounting interface and power tap off interface may be formed from subassemblies, with conductors of one terminal subassembly engaging conductors of another subassembly. One subassembly may have conductors with mating contact portions at one end and a body portion with holes at the other end. Another subassembly may have conductors with tails passing through and engaging the holes in the body portion of the other.

Provided is also a metal material, produced by forming a metal layer including Ag and Sn, on a surface of a substrate, and heating the resultant at a temperature equal to or more than the melting point of Sn, and including an Ag—Sn covering layer containing Ag and Sn and having an Ag—Sn alloy exposed on a surface thereof, on the surface of the substrate.

A press-fit terminal includes a press-fit portion including two contact pieces facing each other with an eyehole interposed therebetween, where each of the two contact pieces includes a parallel portion, a front spring portion extending from the parallel portion in a direction in which the press-fit portion is inserted, and a rear spring portion extending from the parallel portion in a direction opposite to the direction in which the press-fit portion is inserted, the two parallel portions being parallel to each other, a thickness of the press-fit portion is 0.3 mm or more and 0.5 mm or less, when a length of the eyehole is Le [mm] and a length of the parallel portion is Ls [mm], Ls/Le is 0.57 or more and 0.65 or less, and when front spring strength is G.sub.1 [mm.sup.3] and rear spring strength is G.sub.2 [mm.sup.3], G.sub.1/G.sub.2 is 0.55 or more and 1.45 or less.

An electrical connector pin having a link segment for linking to the connector and an end segment that is free, the end segment having a cross-section that is flat and being provided with a slot passing through the end segment in its thickness direction and extending over a length of the free end segment to form two mutually parallel blades, each having a first edge that is straight beside the slot and a second edge extending remotely from the slot and that is provided with a contact portion projecting laterally relative to an outside surface of the link segment, the blades being elastically deformable transversely so as to vary the width of the slot. A connector and an electronic device including such a pin.

A method includes disposing a terminal pin on an electronic substrate with a base region of the terminal pin in contact with a circuit trace on an electronic substrate, and ultrasonically coupling the base region of the terminal pin to the circuit trace.

The present disclosure provides an electrical connector comprising a connector body and a plurality of terminals. The connector body comprises a plugging slot and a plurality of terminal slots. The plurality of the terminal slots communicate with the plugging slot. A lower wall of each of the terminal slots comprises an accommodating recess. At least one limiting bump is disposed on an end surface of the accommodating recess. The plurality of terminals are respectively disposed in the corresponding terminal slots. Each of the terminals comprises a terminal body, a plugging end part, and a connecting end part. The terminal body is disposed in the terminal slot. The plugging end part is disposed in the plugging slot. The connecting end part is disposed on a rear surface of the connector body.

The present disclosure provides an electrical connector connected with a chip connector. The electrical connector comprises a first terminal component, an adapting board, and a cable. The first terminal component comprises a plurality of terminals. The adapting board is disposed at one side of the first terminal component. At least one of the plurality of terminals of the first terminal component is connected with the adapting board. One end of the cable is connected with the adapting board. The other end of the cable is connected with the chip connector. Since the plurality of terminals and the cable of the first terminal component are connected with the adapting board, selectable cables in multiple dimensions would be increased, the soldering process can be simplified, the soldering cost can be reduced, and the stability of the connection between the terminal and the cable would also be enhanced.

A press-fit terminal includes a contact portion that is to be in contact with an inner wall of a through hole provided in a substrate; a leading end portion disposed on a leading end side relative to the contact portion in an insertion direction toward the through hole; a base portion disposed on an opposite side to the leading end portion with the contact portion being interposed between the leading end portion and the base portion; a penetration hole provided across the base portion, the contact portion, and the leading end portion; and a first inclination portion provided across the contact portion and the leading end portion and disposed continuous at an outer periphery of the penetration hole.
