vis papillon de fixation de la plaquette

Explanation:
question de point de vue
quand on serre c'est pour fixer
quand on dévisse c'est pour dégager ou sortir la plaquette

vis de maintien
it is a bit of an oxymoron in French I think to use vis and the opposite of what it is used for, i.e. attaching/closing/holding a part

Etienne Amblard: Il me semble, cependant, que des vis moletées sont plus courantes en informatique que des vis papillon. Sans certitude.

-> oui - moins encombrant suivant la taille - le contexte ou illustration pourra aider à choisir

agree

bobdelbart: La vis sert à être vissée, mais aussi à être dévissée, sinon ce serait un clou. Ce que je veux dire, c’est que si “vis de débloquage” est un oxymoron, alors “vis de maintien” est une redondance. Cette dernière traduction n’en reste pas moins exacte.

-> bon alors on va finasser aussi - ce que je veux dire - c'est que la fonction première de la vis est de fixer attacher - pas d'être enlevée car pour ça il faut l'avoir d'abord vissée ou mise en place. maintien car aussi vis de tension, réglage, etc

neutral

GILLES MEUNIER: board ici est cartecarte de, c'est la circuit imprimé. La plaquette c'est wafer dans ce contexte

36 mins

-> -possible ou : avec interposition d'une plaquette évitant la perforation du panneau
