Switch having improved cover
An electrical switch (120) includes an insulative housing (121), the operation part (150) disposed in the housing (121), and the metallic cover (160) enclosing the housing (121). The metallic cover (160) includes a front plate (161), a pair of side plates (164) extending rearwardly from two opposite lateral sides of the front plate (161). The side plate (164) include a main body (165) to cover the corresponding side wall (125) of the housing and an extension (167) extending beyond a rear face of the housing (121) and adapted to be soldered upon a printed circuit board (110) on which the housing (121) is seated.
Fuse pad, printed circuit board having the fuse pad, and method of the printed circuit board
Disclosed are a fuse pad, a printed circuit board having the fuse pad, and a method of manufacturing the printed circuit board. The fuse pad includes a first pad provided at one side of a fuse, a second pad provided at an opposite side of the fuse, and a measurement pad electrically connected to the second pad to measure whether the fuse is detached.
FUSE PAD, PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD HAVING THE FUSE PAD, AND METHOD OF THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
Disclosed are a fuse pad, a printed circuit board having the fuse pad, and a method of manufacturing the printed circuit board. The fuse pad includes a first pad provided at one side of a fuse, a second pad provided at an opposite side of the fuse, and a measurement pad electrically connected to the second pad to measure whether the fuse is detached.
Grounding connections in a tactile switch assembly
An electronic device includes a tactile switch assembly. The tactile switch assembly includes a tactile switch structure. A grounding structure can be included in an electrostatic discharge path in the tactile switch structure. The grounding structure can result in a shorter electrostatic discharge path that minimizes damage caused by an electrostatic discharge event. Additionally, different grounding connectors are disclosed that can attach to a grounded component in the electronic device and to a tactile switch bracket associated with the tactile switch assembly. The grounding connector provides a grounding connection to the tactile switch bracket.
