Abstract
The assembly comprises a casing and a PC-Board in sheet form arranged therein, having a comb-spring and projecting freely into a recess of the wall of the casing. The lower face of the PC-board is furnished with a set of conductive pathways leading to microchips to be connected to an independent electric system by bending the PC-board sheet so as to make contact with a second set of homologous conductive pathways belonging to said system. This bending is obtained by displacing a shoe pushing a cylindrical bar freely engaged in a slot of the wall of the casing in communication with the recess, the bar lying on the structure formed by the combining and the PC-board sheet. The electrical contact between both sets of conductive pathways can be interrupted by moving the shoe axially in a first direction corresponding to the bending of the PC-board sheet; a motion of the shoe in a second opposite direction re-establishes the electrical contact conditions of both sets of pathways.
