Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
An electronic component mounting assembly mounting an electronic component on a printed circuit board in operative connection with the circuit printed thereon, wherein said printed circuit board has a first plurality of openings in a predetermined pattern, comprising: a base plate having a plurality of holes therethrough formed in a pattern corresponding to said predetermined pattern of openings on said printed circuit board an electronic component comprising a reed switch relay assembly mounted on said base plate, said reed switch relay assembly comprising a hollow bobbin member, a reed switch relay operatively contained within said hollow bobbin member and having switch contact end terminals extending outward from the ends of said bobbin, a coil operatively surrounding said bobbin and having two terminal ends extending therefrom, and end plates attached to each end of said bobbin member, said end plates having openings through which extend said switch contact end terminals, and means for positioning said switch and coil substantially parallel on and above said base plate; and contact pins inserted through said respective base plate holes and having upper ends operatively connected to said switch contact end terminals and said terminal ends of said coil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
194 words
An electronic component mounting assembly mounting an electronic component on a printed circuit board in operative connection with the circuit printed thereon, wherein said printed circuit board has a first plurality of openings in a predetermined pattern, comprising: a base plate having a plurality of holes therethrough formed in a pattern corresponding to said predetermined pattern of openings on said printed circuit board an electronic component comprising a reed switch relay assembly mounted on said base plate, said reed switch relay assembly comprising a hollow bobbin member, a reed switch relay operatively contained within said hollow bobbin member and having switch contact end terminals extending outward from the ends of said bobbin, a coil operatively surrounding said bobbin and having two terminal ends extending therefrom, and end plates attached to each end of said bobbin member, said end plates having openings through which extend said switch contact end terminals, and means for positioning said switch and coil substantially parallel on and above said base plate; and contact pins inserted through said respective base plate holes and having upper ends operatively connected to said switch contact end terminals and said terminal ends of said coil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a group of notches which comprise extended cutouts in opposite side edges of said base plate whereby said base plate is I-shaped.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
The mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising tangs which are greater in length than the depth of said base plate, and wherein said tangs further comprise end portions extending below said base plate in a mounted position thereon, said end portions serving as a stable mount before a soldering operation with the relay resting on said end portions rather than on portions of said contact pins and further spacing said reed switch relay assembly from said printed circuit board decreasing flux entrapment under the relay and facilitating cleaning.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said coil has a plastic protective covering therearound.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said terminal ends of said coil extend beyond only one end of said bobbin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
The mounting assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said contact pins which are electrically connected to said terminal ends of said coil are angularly bent into substantial aligned contact with the upper surface of said base plate.
