US Patent 8732941 Assembly aid for printed board connectors

In order to simplify the assembly of printed board connectors, there is provided an assembly aid that features one or more recesses in accordance with the dimensions of the printed board connectors, wherein one or more printed board connectors to be assembled on a printed board can be inserted into said recesses. The contact spacing on the printed board corresponds with the arrangement of the printed board connectors in the assembly aid such that an exact alignment of the printed board connectors is realized. The assembly aid remains on the printed board until the soldering process is completed, wherein this prevents, for example, flotation of SMD components.
