Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
226 words
An integrated circuit panel assembly comprising, a panel board having a plurality of female terminals secured in a predetermined pattern therein, and a plurality of dual in-line integrated circuit packages mounted on said panel board, each of said integrated circuit packages including a body portion, the vertical dimension of which is greater than the horizontal dimension thereof in the normal position of use thereof as mounted on said panel, a plurality of integrated circuits embedded in said body portion, and a plurality of leads electrically interconnected to said embedded integrated circuits and projecting outwardly of said body portion, a first set of said leads being located in the bottom of said body portion and projecting downwardly therefrom in the position of use of said package and extending into corresponding aligned female terminals located in said panel, a second set of said leads being located in opposed relation to said first set at the top of said body portion, the leads of said second set being bent to depend downwardly in parallel and close adjacent relation to said first set in the position of use of said package and electrically communicating with corresponding aligned female terminals located in said integrated circuit panels, the leads of one set being vertically foreshortened, and an adapter being interconnected to each of the foreshortened leads and being receivable in a terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
226 words
An integrated circuit panel assembly comprising, a panel board having a plurality of female terminals secured in a predetermined pattern therein, and a plurality of dual in-line integrated circuit packages mounted on said panel board, each of said integrated circuit packages including a body portion, the vertical dimension of which is greater than the horizontal dimension thereof in the normal position of use thereof as mounted on said panel, a plurality of integrated circuits embedded in said body portion, and a plurality of leads electrically interconnected to said embedded integrated circuits and projecting outwardly of said body portion, a first set of said leads being located in the bottom of said body portion and projecting downwardly therefrom in the position of use of said package and extending into corresponding aligned female terminals located in said panel, a second set of said leads being located in opposed relation to said first set at the top of said body portion, the leads of said second set being bent to depend downwardly in parallel and close adjacent relation to said first set in the position of use of said package and electrically communicating with corresponding aligned female terminals located in said integrated circuit panels, the leads of one set being vertically foreshortened, and an adapter being interconnected to each of the foreshortened leads and being receivable in a terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
An integrated circuit panel assembly as claimed in claim 1, each of the adapters being mounted on an adapter assembly in which a plurality of terminals are located for receiving the foreshortened leads, each adapter being electrically interconnected to a latter named terminal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
An integrated circuit panel assembly as claimed in claim 1, said adpter having an elongated body portion on which at least one clip is formed, said clip being secured to a foreshortened lead for interconnecting the lead to sAid adapter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
218 words
A dual in-line integrated circuit module for mounting on an integrated circuit panel having a plurality of female terminals secured in a predetermined pattern therein, comprising, a body portion the vertical dimension of which is greater than the horizontal dimension thereof in the normal position of use thereof as mounted on said panel, a plurality of integrated circuits embedded in said body portion, a plurality of leads electrically interconnected to said embedded integrated circuits and projecting outwardly of said body portion, a first set of leads located in the bottom of said body portion and projecting downwardly therefrom in the position of use of the module and extending into corresponding aligned female terminals located in said panel, a second set of said leads located in opposed relation to said first set and projecting from the top of said body portion in the position of use of said module on said panel, the leads of said second set being bent to depend downwardly in parallel relation to said first set, but being foreshortened with respect to the vertical dimension thereof, and an adapter interconnected to each of the foreshortened leads, the adapter having a downwardly extending lead formed thereon that projects into a female terminal in said panel for establishing electrical communication between said module circuits and panel terminals.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
218 words
A dual in-line integrated circuit module for mounting on an integrated circuit panel having a plurality of female terminals secured in a predetermined pattern therein, comprising, a body portion the vertical dimension of which is greater than the horizontal dimension thereof in the normal position of use thereof as mounted on said panel, a plurality of integrated circuits embedded in said body portion, a plurality of leads electrically interconnected to said embedded integrated circuits and projecting outwardly of said body portion, a first set of leads located in the bottom of said body portion and projecting downwardly therefrom in the position of use of the module and extending into corresponding aligned female terminals located in said panel, a second set of said leads located in opposed relation to said first set and projecting from the top of said body portion in the position of use of said module on said panel, the leads of said second set being bent to depend downwardly in parallel relation to said first set, but being foreshortened with respect to the vertical dimension thereof, and an adapter interconnected to each of the foreshortened leads, the adapter having a downwardly extending lead formed thereon that projects into a female terminal in said panel for establishing electrical communication between said module circuits and panel terminals.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
79 words
A dual in-line integrated circuit module as claimed in claim 4, an adapter assembly in which the adapters interconnected to said foreshortened leads are included, said adapter assembly including a body portion in which the adapters are integrally molded, each adapter including a socket fixed in said body for receiving a foreshortened lead therein and a contact leg joined to said female socket and projecting below said body portion and being received in a female terminal in said panel.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
151 words
An adapter assembly for use with an integrated circuit module having a first set of leads projecting from a lower portion thereof and a second set of leads projecting from an upper portion thereof and bent to project downwardly in parallel relation to said first set, but foreshortened with respect to the vertical dimension thereof, comprising an elongated body portion molded of a insulating plastic material, a plurality of vertically extending openings formed in said body portion in horizontal spaced relation, and an adapter element fixed in each of said openings, each adapter element including a socket portion that is located in an opening and that receives a foreshortened lead of said second set therein, and a contact leg joined to said socket portion and projecting below said body portion for entry into a female terminal of a panel board on which said module is to be mounted in electrical communication.
