Abstract:
An oscillator assembly including an oscillator seated on a pad of thermally conductive material formed on the surface of a printed circuit board and covered by a lid defining an oven for the oscillator. In one embodiment, a plurality of heaters are located on different sides of the oscillator and at least partially seated on the pad for evenly transferring heat to the pad and the oscillator. In one embodiment, the oscillator is a temperature compensated crystal oscillator and an integrated amplifier controller circuit on the printed circuit board integrates at least one operational amplifier for controlling the heater(s) and one or more transistors for providing heat to the oven. A canopy seated on the pad and covering the oscillator can be used for transferring heat more evenly to the oscillator. A cavity in the bottom of the printed circuit board defines an insulative air pocket.

A wiring board module includes a multilayer wiring board. A crystal oscillator and an IC component, for example, are mounted on the mounting surface of the multilayer wiring board. Mounting lands for the IC component, mounting lands for the crystal oscillator, and mounting lands for other surface mount components are provided on the mounting surface. Each mounting land for the crystal oscillator is not a conventional single large-area land but is defined by four adjacent land pieces. The four land pieces are electrically connected via an external terminal of the crystal oscillator, thereby functioning as a mounting land for the external terminal. In other words, each of the plurality of mounting lands provided at locations corresponding to external terminals of the crystal oscillator is divided into four land pieces.

An electronic circuit unit includes a circuit board mounted within a frame member, an electronic component with a cover mounted on the circuit boards, and linear terminals passing through and being mounted in the circuit board. The terminals include first and second terminal groups arranged at an interval between the respective terminals in a line. The terminal groups are arranged in a line in the vicinity of one side of the circuit board. An opening portion is provided between the first and second terminal groups, and the electronic component with the cover is mounted on the circuit board while being disposed in the opening portion. As a result, a space factor for the arrangement of the electronic component with the cover is very good, and thus it is possible to reduce a widthwise dimension of the circuit board.

Abstract:
A miniaturized oscillator that is manufactured with greatly reduced production time and cost includes transmission lines defining resonance circuits provided on a circuit assembly board. In this state, the impedance of each transmission line is measured. Then, according to the transmission line impedance, chip components having impedances necessary to obtain a predetermined frequency are selected and mounted on the circuit substrate. With this arrangement and method of formation, the resulting oscillator oscillates at the desired oscillation frequency and it is not necessary to trim the transmission lines in order to achieve this result. Since the oscillator does not require time to make frequency adjustments and does require use of a trimming apparatus, no deterioration in the electric characteristics due to laser trimming occurs. In addition, it is unnecessary to provide an electrode land for making frequency adjustments. As a result, the entire oscillator is miniaturized.
Abstract:
A space-saving circuit board mounting of a Surface Mounted Technology (SMT) device, such as a resistor, capacitor, ferrite or clock oscillator, is achieved using (1) a single through hole extending transversely through the board substrate, and (2) a cylindrical adapter having a first longitudinal portion coaxially received in the through hole and a second longitudinal portion projecting outwardly therefrom. The second longitudinal adapter portion has a radially inwardly extending notch that receives the SMT device and positions it with its electrically conductive opposite end sections spaced apart in a direction parallel to the axis of the through hole. Spaced apart external metal plating sections on the adapter connect the SMT device end portions to circumferentially separated metal plating segments on the surface of the through hole which, in turn, are representatively connected to ground and signal plane structures within the interior of the board substrate.
