Abstract:
A surface mountable miniature incandescent lamp assembly has an elongated substantially cylindrical glass envelope wherein a filament is contained in contact with metal members having glass-to-metal seals with the glass envelope. A substantial portion of the outer surface of the glass envelope is coated with a light reflective metal coating, with a non-coated elongated window transparent to light being left on the surface. The metal members extend axially to the outside from the envelope and, when mounted to a circuit board provide electric contact for the lamp. At least one of the end members includes a unique surface feature, such as a flat portion of an otherwise cylindrical surface, which is directionally coupled relative to the window of the glass envelope and which acts as a key or indexing surface for mounting the lamp assembly to the receiving surface (circuit board) with the window disposed in the desired direction.
Abstract:
A MELF (Metal Electrode Face Bonding Device) surge absorbing element which can be connected across a pair of input lines of an electronic device. The surge absorbing element is secured in electrical contact with the input lines by a conductive heat releasable adhering means, e.g., a solder. A spring is positioned in biased relationship against the surge absorbing element. When the surge absorbing element is subjected to overvoltages or overcurrents continuously across the input lines, the surge absorbing element heats up, which, in turn, heats the adhering means. When the temperature reaches a predetermined value, the adhering means releases its securement of the surge absorbing element, e.g., the solder melts, and no longer holds the element. When this occurs, the bias of the spring means positioned against the now unsecured surge absorbing element serves to move the element away from and out of electrical contact with the adhering means and, in turn, the input lines. This prevents further heating of the surge absorbing element.
Abstract:
A chip type electronic part which comprises a chip main body of a cylindrical external shape having a circular cross section, and cap terminals also of a circular cross section applied onto opposite ends of the chip main body. The chip main body is covered, on its side peripheral face not applied with the cap terminals, by an outer covering member having a rectangular cross section, with an interval between a side face of the outer covering member and a corresponding side face of each of the cap terminals being set within a range of +0.2 mm to -0.2 mm.

Abstract:
Described is a piezoelectric drive element assembly for use in ink jet printer devices. The assembly comprises a piezoelectric drive element, which is characterized by a pair of electrodes spaced apart and thereby electrically isolated from one another on an external lateral face of the drive element. The assembly further includes a printed circuit board having holes through which the drive element is fitted, with the electrodes of the drive element being soldered to opposite sides of the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
Provided is an LED lamp using a nano-scale LED electrode assembly. The LED lamp using the nano-scale LED electrode assembly may solve limitations in which, when a nano-scale LED device according to the related art stands up and is three-dimensionally coupled to an electrode, it is difficult to allow the nano-scale LED device to stand up, and when the nano-scale LED devices are coupled to one-to-one correspond to electrodes different from each other, product quality is deteriorated. Thus, the nano-scale LED device having a nano unit may be connected to the two electrodes different from each other without causing defects, and light extraction efficiency may be improved due to the directivity of the nano-scale LED devices connected to the electrodes. Furthermore, deterioration in function of the LED lamp due to the defects of a portion of the nano-scale LEDs provided in the LED lamp may be minimized, and the LED lamp may have a flexible structure and shape by using the nano-scale LED electrode assembly of which a portion is deformable according to the used purpose or position of the LED lamp.
Abstract:
A resistor support assembly includes first, second, third, and fourth support members. Each of the first and second support members includes one or more resistor contact regions and apertures extending therethrough. Each third support member is at least partially disposed within one of the apertures of one of the first support members and one of the apertures of one of the second support members. Recesses may be formed in the resistor contact regions of the first and the second support members, and one or more load resistors may be at least partially disposed within the recesses. The resistor support assembly may be used to mount one or more load resistors to a printed circuit board, without obstructing airflow through hollow portions of the load resistors. To reduce parasitic capacitance and inductance, the first support members and the second support members are formed from non-conductive materials.
Abstract:
A housing, for surface-mount technology (SMT), accepts any electronics package that is mounted on a circular substrate. The housing including the assembled electronics package forms an SMT housing assembly. The SMT housing assembly is placed directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). The SMT housing assembly is soldered to the PCB using standard soldering techniques, establishing an electrical connection between the electronics package and the PCB.
