Abstract
Abstract Press in pin 100 with a press in section 102 insertable with force fit into a through connection hole 50 in a printed circuit board 51, which section has two narrow sides 3,4 extending in lengthwise direction of the pin and two wide sides 5,6, indentations being provided in the wide sides which define a central section 150, at which lateral sections 152,153 are arranged opposite each other with respect to the transverse axis Y-Y of the cross-section to give the press in zone a certain flexibility, the two lateral sections being symmetrical both to the transverse axis Y-Y and to the longitudinal axis X-X normal to axis Y-Y of the cross-section.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A press fit pin (100) with a press fit section (102) insertable with press fit into a through connection hole (50) in a printed circuit board (51) or the like, said section comprising two narrow sides (3, 4) in the longitudinal direction of the pin and two wide sides (5, 6) in which indentations are provided which define a central section (150) at which lateral sections (152, 153) are arranged opposite each other with respect the the transverse axis Y-Y of the cross-section of the pin to give the press fit section (102) a certain flexibility, characterized in that the two lateral sections (152, 153) are symmetrical both to the transverse axis Y- Y and to the longitudinal axis X- X of the cross-section extending normal to axis Y-Y.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A press fit pin (100) with a press fit section (102) insertable with press fit into a through connection hole (50) in a printed circuit board (51) or the like, said section comprising two narrow sides (3, 4) in the longitudinal direction of the pin and two wide sides (5, 6) in which indentations are provided which define a central section (150) at which lateral sections (152, 153) are arranged opposite each other with respect the the transverse axis Y-Y of the cross-section of the pin to give the press fit section (102) a certain flexibility, characterized in that the two lateral sections (152, 153) are symmetrical both to the transverse axis Y- Y and to the longitudinal axis X- X of the cross-section extending normal to axis Y-Y.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
Press fit pin according to claim 1, characterized in that the lateral sections (152, 153) are legs which are elastically flexible relative to the central section (150).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
Press fit pin according to claim 2, characterized in that the lateral sections (152, 153) are formed by four slots (155, 156, 157, 158) arranged symmetrical to the longitudinal and transverse axes X-X, Y-Y in pairs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
Press fit pin according to claim 3 characterized in that the lateral sections (152, 153) are in one piece with the central section (150).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
Press fit pin according to claim 4 characterized in that the sum of the two leg thicknesses (168) is approximately equal to the width (in X-X direction) of the central section (150).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
Press fit pin according to claim 4 characterized in that the indentations (155, 156, 157, 158) are notches tapering toward the longitudinal axis X - X .
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
Press fit pin according to claim 4 characterized in that the angles n, u, K , T formed by the four slots (155, 156, 157, 158) are substantially equal.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
Press fit pin according to claim 4 characterized in that the longitudinal sides (160, 161) of the legs are concave.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
103 words
A press fit pin (1) having a press fit section (2) adapted to be inserted into a through connection hole (50) of a circuit board (51) or the like, said press fit section (2) being of rectangular cross-section and comprising in its two wide sides (5,6) indentations (20,21,22) extending along the length of said press fit section characterized in that in said one wide side (5) a single large indentation (20) is centrally provided, and that in said other wide side (6) two small indentations (21,22) are provided in such a manner that the press fit section (2) has an "M" shaped cross-section.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
103 words
A press fit pin (1) having a press fit section (2) adapted to be inserted into a through connection hole (50) of a circuit board (51) or the like, said press fit section (2) being of rectangular cross-section and comprising in its two wide sides (5,6) indentations (20,21,22) extending along the length of said press fit section characterized in that in said one wide side (5) a single large indentation (20) is centrally provided, and that in said other wide side (6) two small indentations (21,22) are provided in such a manner that the press fit section (2) has an "M" shaped cross-section.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
85 words
The press fit pin set forth in claim 9 characterized in that the two small indentations (21,22) in said wide side (6) are symmetrically arranged with respect to said indentation (20) in said wide side wall (5), the larger indentation (20) has the same length as the two smaller indentations (21, 22) which in turn have the same length, and the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the two smaller indentations (21, 22) correspond in substance to the cross-sectional area of the larger indentation (20).
