Abstract
Abstract The individual conductors of a cable are connected to a P.C. board under utilization of an auxiliary member having a plate in which are inserted solder pins. The conductors of the cable are connected to one side of the pins, an insulated body is molded around that connection including the conductor ends and the end of the cable; the pins project in a particular pattern from the auxiliary member and are inserted in a matching pattern of solder sleeves in the P.C. board and the pins are soldered to the sleeves. The auxiliary member is separately bolted to the P.C. board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A method of connecting a multiconductor cable to conductors on a circuit carrier such as a printed circuit board comprising the steps of: providing a mounting plate having a plurality of bores arranged in a pattern; arranging solder pins in some of these bores and in a particular pattern involving a smaller number of pins than there are bores in the plate, the solder pins projecting from one side of the mounting plate; fastening conductors of the cable to the pins on the respective other side of the plate; molding a carrier element partially around said carrier plate thereby sealingly embedding the connection between the conductors of the cable and the soldering pins, but leaving the pins as projecting from the carrier plate exposed; inserting the soldering pins in a pattern, of soldering sleeves in said circuit element carrier the pattern of sleeves matching the particular pattern of said pins; soldering the pins and the sleeves to each other, thereby completing the electrical connections between the conductors of the cables, and conductors on the circuit element carrier as connected on the board or carrier to the soldering sleeves.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
188 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method as in claim 1, and including the step of additionally fastening the carrier element to the printed circuit board or circuit element carrier for obtaining relief from any forces that may act upon the cable or the printed circuit board or carrier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method as in claim 1, said pins being arranged in an areal-encoded partially asymmetric pattern.
