Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a Printed Circuit Board, PCB, ( 1 ) and a terminal ( 2 ) for connecting the PCB ( 1 ) to an electrical component. The PCB ( 1 ) comprises a through-hole ( 11 ) for receiving the terminal ( 2 ). The through-hole ( 11 ) has a partially open side wall ( 12 ), wherein the side wall ( 12 ) is open along at least a part of a length (L) of the 5 through-hole ( 11 ) perpendicular to a radius (R) of the through-hole ( 11 ). This allows the terminal ( 2 ) to protrude through the open side wall ( 12 ) when received by the through-hole ( 11 ), such that a position of the terminal ( 2 ) is adjustable along the length of the open side wall ( 12 ). The terminal ( 2 ) comprises a base ( 21 ), adapted to be received by the through-hole ( 11 ) of the PCB ( 1 ) and to create a press fit with the side wall ( 12 ) of the through-hole  10  ( 11 ), and a pin ( 22 ) projecting from a surface ( 23 ) of the base ( 21 ). The pin ( 22 ) is adapted to protrude through the open side wall ( 12 ), when the base ( 21 ) is inserted into the through-hole ( 11 ) of the PCB ( 1 ). Furthermore, embodiments herein relate to a method for assembling a PCB module ( 120 ) comprising the terminal ( 2 ) and the PCB ( 1 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A Printed Circuit Board, PCB, comprising a through-hole for receiving a terminal, wherein the through-hole penetrates one or more conductive layers of the PCB and the through-hole has a partially open side wall, wherein the side wall is at least partially plated to electrically interconnect said one or more conductive layers and wherein the side wall is open along at least a part of a length of the through-hole perpendicular to a radius of the through-hole for allowing the terminal to protrude through the open side wall when received by the through-hole, such that a position of the terminal is adjustable along the length of the open side wall.
