Abstract:
An electronic component arrangement includes a discrete electronic component having first and second terminals and a centre-exposed pad. A substrate has a first electrical conductor electrically connected to the first terminal, a second electrical conductor electrically connected to the second terminal, and a third electrical conductor. A thermally conductive element is in direct thermal communication with both the centre-exposed pad of the electronic component and the third electrical conductor of the substrate.
Abstract:
An electronic package (10) is provided which includes a circuit board (12) having a substrate (14) and circuitry (16) and a surface mount device (22) having a contact terminal (24). A mounting pad (28) is formed on the circuit board (12). The electronic package (10) also includes a solder joint (30) connecting the contact terminal (24) of the surface mount device (22) to the mounting pad (28) on the circuit board (12). The solder joint (30) includes a reflowable solder and a plurality of stand-off members (32 or 42). The stand-off members (32 or 42) provide a separation distance (H) between the circuit board (12) and surface mount device (22) in the range of about 0.01 mm to 0.10 mm.
Abstract:
A flat twisted electrical terminal is provided for connecting a first circuit element to a second circuit element on respective first and second circuit boards. The terminal includes a flat conductive member having a first end for connecting to a first circuit element and a second end for connecting to a second circuit element. The conductive member is axially twisted about its longitudinal axis.
