Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a cable clamp which can be installed on a printed wiring board automatically without forming a through hole in the printed wiring board. A cable clamp ( 1 ), which is installed on a printed wiring board ( 20 ) to hold cables ( 21,21 , . . . ) at predetermined positions on the printed wiring board ( 20 ), includes: a cable holding part ( 11 ) for holding the cables ( 21,21 , . . . ); an opening and closing part ( 12 ) for opening and closing the cable holding part ( 11 ); a suction part ( 15 ), which is provided on the opening and closing part ( 12 ), to be sucked by suction unit ( 22 ) used to mount electronic parts on the printed wiring board ( 20 ); and a part to be soldered ( 13 ) to the printed wiring board ( 20 ).

Claims (26)

1. A cable clamp which is installed on a printed wiring board to hold cables at predetermined positions on the printed wiring board, comprising:

a cable holding part for holding the cables;

a suction part to be sucked by suction devices used to mount electronic parts on the printed wiring board; and a part to be soldered to the printed wiring board,

wherein the cable clamp is installed on a surface of the printed wiring board without passing through the printed wiring board, the cable clamp being formed such that it can be stored in conveyor devices having an opening for taking out the cable clamp; and

the suction part and the part to be soldered are provided on the opposite sides of the cable holding part, the suction part being exposed outwardly from the opening of the conveyor devices while it is stored in the conveyor devices.

2. A cable clamp which is installed on a printed wiring board to hold cables at predetermined positions on the printed wiring board, comprising:

a cable holding part for holding the cables;

a suction part to be sucked by suction devices used to mount electronic parts on the printed wiring board;

a lock part for locking the cables; and

a part to be soldered to the printed wiring board, wherein the cable clamp is installed on surface of the printed wiring board without passing through the printed wiring board, the cable clamp being formed such that it can be stored in conveyor devices having an opening for taking out the cable clamp; and

the suction part and the part to be soldered are provided on the opposite sides of the cable holding part, the suction part being exposed outwardly from the opening of the conveyor devices while it is stored in the conveyor devices.

3. The cable clamp according to claim 1 , further comprising;

the cable holding part, the suction part, and the part to be soldered are integrally formed of a solderable metal.

4. The cable clamp according to claim 1 , further comprising;

the cable holding part is provided with an elastic opening and closing part.

5. The cable clamp according to claim 1 , further comprising;

the cable holding part is provided with a plastic deformable opening and closing part.

6. The cable clamp according to claim 1 , further comprising;

a hole having a predetermined size is formed in the part to be soldered.

7. The cable clamp according to claim 1 , further comprising;

the cable holding part and the suction part are made of resin, and the part to be soldered is composed of a metal lead.

8. A printed wiring board, comprising:

a cable clamp which is installed on the printed wiring board to hold cables at predetermined positions on the printed wiring board, the cable clamp being formed such that it can be stored in conveyor devices having an opening for taking out the cable clamp; an electronic part mounted by the cable clamp, the cable clamp comprising:

a cable holding part for holding the cables;

a suction part to be sucked by suction devices used to mount electronic parts on the printed wiring board; and

a part to be soldered to the printed wiring board, the suction part and the part to be soldered are provided on the opposite sides of the cable holding part, the suction part being exposed outwardly from the opening of the conveyor devices while it is stored in the conveyor devices.
