Abstract:
A package structure includes a selective-electroplating epoxy compound, a first patterned circuit layer, second patterned circuit layers, metal studs, contact pads and conductive vias. The selective-electroplating epoxy compound includes cavities, a first surface and a second surface. The cavities disposed on the first surface in array arrangement. The selective-electroplating epoxy compound is formed by combining non-conductive metal complex. The metal studs are disposed in the cavities respectively and protruded from the first surface. The first patterned circuit layer is directly disposed on the first surface. The selective-electroplating epoxy compound exposes a top surface of the patterned circuit layer. The top surface is lower than or coplanar with the first surface. The second patterned circuit layers are directly disposed on the second surface. The conductive vias are disposed at the selective-electroplating epoxy compound to electrically connect the second patterned circuit layers to the corresponding metal studs.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes a laminate substrate. The laminate substrate includes catalytic material that resists metal plating except where a surface of the catalytic material is ablated. Metal traces are formed within in trace channels within the laminate substrate. The channels extend below the surface of the catalytic material.
Abstract:
A plug for an electrical plug-type connector includes a plurality of plug contacts, which are electrically connected or connectable to a corresponding number of connecting elements, for example insulation displacement contacts, clamping contacts or possibly also soldered joints, each for connecting one electrical cable core. Per plug contact, one conductor is formed as a conductor track which is grown three-dimensionally on the surface of a plug body in the form of a cast plastics part and adheres there, and which both forms the plug contact and electrically connects the plug contact to the connecting element.
