Device for anchoring components on circuit board
View Patent ↗A circuit board device includes one or more slots formed in a board, and one or more fastener members having one or more projections engageable into the slots of the board, to anchor the fastener member to the board, and to prevent the fastener member from moving relative to the board while welding the fastener member to the board with one or more solders. One or more electronic components may then be precisely and easily aligned with and secured to the fastener members with the other fastener members. A solder member may be applied on the board for securing to the solders.
1. A circuit board assembly comprising:
at least one first fastener member having a cylindrical body and at least one pair of downward projections formed in one line at one end of said first fastener member;
a board body being formed with at least one orifice and at least one pair of slots extended and protruded from said orifice, said at least one pair of slots being substantially matched with said downward projections in shape and formed in one line for receiving said at least one pair of downward projections;
a component supported by said at least one first fastener member above said board body; and
at least one second fastener member securely fastening said component onto said at least one first fastener member.
2. The circuit board assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each projection of said at least one pair of projections has a non-circular cross section and each slot of said at least one pair of slots has a corresponding non-circular cross section for tightly engaging said at least one pair of projections with said at least one pair of slots.
3. The circuit board assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one first fastener member has an inner thread formed therein and said at least one second fastener member is a screw fastener for threading with said inner thread.
4. The circuit board assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one solder secured between said board body and said at least one first fastener member for securing said at least one first fastener member to said board body.
5. The circuit board assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said board body includes a solder member provided around said at least one pair of slots and welded to said at least one solder.
