Battery provided with terminals
View Patent ↗An electrical apparatus for attaching a battery to a printed circuit board which includes a battery body containing terminals, a portion of each of the terminals defining a fixing portion, a circuit board containing conductive portions and at least one through hole formed therein, wherein the fixing portion of each of the terminals contains at least one engaging portion which lockingly engages the through holes formed in the circuit board or in the vicinity of the through holes and contains a contacting portion which contacts the conductive portion of the circuit board for electrically connecting the battery body to the conductive portion of the circuit board.
1. A battery provided with terminals comprising a battery body and a pair of separate terminals for electrically connecting the battery body to pair of conductive portions provided in a printed circuit board,
said pair of terminals having resilient functions and an engaging portion,
whereby said pair of terminals are detachably fixed to said circuit board, and wherein
a portion of one of the terminals contains clamping portions, which clamp the surfaces of the circuit board from both sides and another portion of the terminal receives the battery body, and contacts the conductive portion of the circuit board for electrically connecting the battery body to said conductive portion of the circuit board.
2. The battery provided with terminals according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the clamping portions is provided with an engaging portion, which engages that portion where the conductive portion of the circuit board is provided or a portion around the conductive portion when the battery is mounted on the circuit board.
3. A battery provided with terminals comprising a battery body and a pair of separate terminals for electrically connecting the battery body to a pair of conductive portions provided in a printed circuit board,
said pair of terminals having resilient functions and an engaging portion,
whereby said pair of terminals are detachably fixed to said circuit board, wherein
the engaging portions of each of said terminals engage a conductive portion of a through hole formed in the circuit board, and wherein
at least one of said engaging portions of the terminals has a locking portion, which is engaged with the peripheral edge of the lower end of the through hole.
