Abstract:
A self-contained power distribution device is provided having compliant pins for attachment to mating receptacles of a printed circuit board for use in a vehicle electrical system. An insulative body forms a housing. An electrical switching element is disposed within the housing. A plurality of non-coaxial terminal contacts extend from a lower planar surface of the housing. Each of the plurality of terminal contacts is substantially parallel to one another having exposed portions adapted to be received by the mating receptacles of a printed circuit board. The plurality of terminal contacts is in electrical communication with the switching element. The exposed portion of the plurality of terminal contacts each has a compliance feature that is resilient to deformation when received by the mating receptacles of the printed circuit board. An interference condition occurs between the compliance feature and the mating receptacles.
