Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of an electric component (1). Said method consists of the following steps; A) a ceramic base body (5) which comprises a through-contact (10) and at least one metal surface (20C) which is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the through-contact, is prepared. In step B), one first electrically insulating material is arranged in a layered manner on the surface of the base body and at least over the through-contact, and subsequently in step C) an electrically conductive second material is applied over the through-contact (10). In step D) a soldering contact (30B) is formed by means of hardening, said soldering contact binding, in an electrically conductive manner, the through-contact (10) through the passivation layer (25B) which is formed from a first material by means of sintering.
Abstract:
An LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramic) structure which has conductors to which leads are to be bonded for connection to external circuitry. The conductors include additives to promote adhesion to the ceramic layer. The presence of these additives degrade bonding performance. For better bondability of the leads, a pure conductor metal layer, devoid of the additives is placed on the conductors in areas where leads are to be bonded. This pure conductor metal layer may be cofired with the stack of ceramic layers or may be post fired after stack firing.
Abstract:
The cost and complexity of an electronic pressure sensitive transducer are decreased by constructing such a transducer directly on a printed circuit board containing support electronics. Conductive traces are formed on the printed circuit board to define a contact area. A flexible substrate having an inner surface is positioned over the contact area. An adhesive spacer, substantially surrounding the contact area, attaches the flexible substrate to the printed circuit board. At least one resistive layer is deposited on the flexible substrate inner surface. In use, the resistive layer contacts at least two conductive traces in response to pressure applied to the flexible substrate to produce an electrical signal indicative of applied pressure.
Abstract:
When a ceramic substrate with via holes filled with conductive material is baked, recesses appear at the via holes. A first conductive paste is applied to the recesses. A circuit is printed with a second conductive paste on the ceramic substrate with its recesses filled with the first conductive paste. The viscosity of the first conductive paste is lower than the viscosity of the second conductive paste. As a result, conduction improves between the circuit conductor on the surface and the conductor in the via holes, and the accuracy of the printed patterns around the via holes also improves. This method is suitable for manufacture of reliable high-density circuits with high productivity
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for producing and soldering electrical connection balls (1) on mounting lands (2) for electronic circuit or component (3) electrical connection. The invention further concerns the device for implementing said method. The invention is characterised in that it essentially comprises the following steps: the operations for filling the stencil screen openings (4) by means of a squeegee (6) or the like and hot refusion are carried out with the stencil screen positioned above the substrate; the stencil screen (4) positioned on the component (3) during refusion is separated from the component after refusion but before the balls (1) are solidified, the latter being still in liquid state such that the balls that are being formed acquire their balanced position and their strictly identical spherical shape whatever their number; after the balls are solidified, the denatured binder is cleaned out.
Abstract:
A soldering process uses two or more different solder alloys. A first solder alloy (115) that undergoes a solid-to-liquid transition at a first temperature is coated (20) onto the solderable surfaces (105) of a printed circuit board (100). A solder paste (120) that undergoes this solid-to-liquid transition at a temperature greater than the first temperature is deposited on the coated solderable portions, and is heated to a temperature that is above the first temperature but below the second temperature. During this time, the first solder alloy liquifies, while the solder paste does not. The first solder alloy wets to the individual particles in the solder paste, and alloys to the solderable surfaces and the solder particles in the solder paste. The soldering composition is subsequently cooled (40) to solidify the first solder material, forming a solid and substantially planar coating on the solderable portions of the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A flexible flat cable assembly, which is adapted to form a low profile interconnection between two electrical circuit members, each having a row of closely spaced apart conductive traces (18). The cable (2) comprises a row of traces (18), with an insulating polymeric film (20) overlying each side of the row. Also, the row is exposed at each end of the jumper cable, and the exposed end portion is covered by a layer of an anisotropically conductive adhesive (22). The cable is adapted to electrically join a flat display panel (220) to a printed circuit board (222), with the jumper cable (210) forming the interconnection between the conductors (221) on the display panel with the conductors on the circuit board. A jumper cable assembly is also disclosed, which includes surface mountable electrical components (224) which are electrically connected and mechanically secured to the traces (230) of the jumper cable assembly by means of an anisotropically conductive adhesive (22). A cable assembly especially adapted for tapping is also disclosed.

Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a novel surface-mount technology (SMT) printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. The SMT PCB assembly includes at least a pair of adjacent conductive pads with a small gap between them. During the development phase of the SMT PCB assembly, the small gap between the adjacent conductive pads, as well as some of the adjacent portions of the conductive pads, are covered with solder mask. An SMT component (e.g., a zero-ohm resistor) may then be mounted to the SMT PCB assembly through the exposed portions of the conductive pads. During the production phase, however, the solder mask is revised to cover the far sides of the conductive pads, which results in the adjacent portions of the conductive pads being exposed. As such, a solder jumper can easily be created during the production phase by connecting the two conductive pads using solder paste.

In the manufacturing method of a multilayer printed circuit board and in a multilayer printed circuit board of the invention, at least part from insulating, conductive or semi-conductive layers remaining inside the multilayer printed circuit board there are manufactured a printed circuit board by using a roll-to-roll manufacturing method for two or several semi-finished printed circuit boards. Between the conductive printed layers of a semi-finished printed circuit board it is possible to manufacture electric vias connecting these by printing. A flexible multilayer printed circuit board is manufactured by connecting at least two semi-finished printed circuit boards face to face so that the pure surfaces of the metal foils of the semi-finished printed circuit boards remain outermost. After this holes can be manufactured through the flexible multilayer printed circuit board, which are metal-plated to produce an electric via.
