Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic assembly (1) which comprises a printed circuit (2), provided with strip conductors (6) and equipped with a plurality of SMD components (4) and/or additional electronic and/or electromechanical components using a suitable solder, thereby forming an electronic circuit. The aim of the invention is to ensure by simple means that power dissipation of such an electronic assembly is reduced. For this purpose, a plurality of connections is established between strip conductors (6), components and/or component parts via respective spring-loaded contact bridges (12, 12', 12'', 12''').
Abstract:
A new and improved electrical connector is provided for Ball Grid Array (BGA) devices and Direct Chip Attach (DCA) devices that solves the prior art problems of mismatch in the coefficient of thermal between a semiconductor die and its substrate, PC board or carrier. The electrical connector consists of a resilient loop of wire that is permanently wire bonded at a first and a second bond position to an electrode or contact pad of a die or an interposer. The closed loop of wire is stable in the X and Y direction and resilient in the Z direction which enables the wire bonded die or interposer to be temporarily attached to a carrier or test board for all forms of tests as well as being removable and reworkable even after being permanently soldered in place on a substrate or PC board. Since the loop shaped connectors are resilient in X, Y and Z directions, the die or interposer may be clamped onto a PC board or substrate to provide a lead free electrical connection that does not require any underfill. The loop size may be made with highly conductive and/or plated (coated) wire in sizes from about 2.5 mils diameter up to about 30 mils using wire having a diameter of about 1.0 mils up to 5.0 mils to replace prior art balls used on pads of about 3 mils size or greater.

Abstract:
An apparatus such as an appliance with a printed circuit board, PCB, (202) mounted haptic feedback device (200) is provided. The apparatus comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) having an opening (204) defined therein, and a spool (206) affixed to the PCB and having a shaft with a coil (208) wound thereabout. The shaft defines an opening aligned with the opening of the PCB. The apparatus also comprises a spring-loaded plunger positioned and movable within the opening of the shaft. The spring-loaded plunger includes a metallic disk operatively coupled to an end of the plunger and distally positioned to the spool. A control component of the apparatus is configured to energize the coil according to a haptic feedback pattern, and thereby cause the coil to attract the metallic disk and move the plunger within the opening of the shaft of the spool, and through the opening of the PCB.

Abstract:
An electrical connector has one or more body portions in which is disposed an electrical terminal having at least one contact pad interface for coupling to a contact pad of at least one printed circuit board (PCB). The body has an associated fastening device which is used to mechanically and electrically couple the electrical connector to the at least one PCB. The electrical connector may be provided with a full or partial hourglass-like shape, when viewed from the side and/or from above, to facilitate its use with a PCB that carries a source of light, such as an LED.
