Printed circuit board components with alternate mounting modes

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Electrical component equipped with contacts for its electrical connection with its electrical environment. It is provided with two sets of contacts interconnected electrically by groups of two contacts belonging respectively to these two sets. one of these sets of contacts is constituted by contacts adapted to ensure electrical connections by simple contact with pressure on respectively oppositely situated conducting spots, mechanical fastening means being also provided to fix the electrical component mechanically to a support associated with said conducting spots. The other of these sets of contacts is constituted by contacts adapted to be connected mechanically, particularly by welding, …
