Patent ID: 8110753

Claim:
A circuit board assembly comprising: a circuit board having opposite first and second surfaces, an outer peripheral edge that interconnects said first and second surfaces and that defines an abutment wall, a first through-hole extending through said first and second surfaces near said abutment wall, a retaining hole extending through said first and second surfaces, said first through-hole being disposed between said retaining hole and said abutment wall; and an electric wire having a fixed end that is soldered to said circuit board at said retaining hole, a first curved segment connected to said fixed end and extending over said first surface from said retaining hole to said first through-hole, an inflection region connected to said first curved segment and extending through said first through-hole from said first surface to said second surface, a second curved segment connected to said inflection region and extending over said second surface from said first through-hole to said abutment wall, and an open loop that is connected to said second curved segment and that turns around said abutment wall to extend back to said first surface and to pass through said first through-hole from said first surface to said second surface, wherein said circuit board has no portion that extends beyond said open loop and that extends around one side of said open loop opposite to said abutment wall.
