Abstract:
A wiring pattern forming method comprises: relatively moving a droplet discharging head and a substrate, each in a predetermined direction; discharging a liquid material in a form of droplet onto the substrate from a plurality of discharging nozzles formed on the droplet discharging head; forming a predetermined wiring pattern on the substrate; and forming an end portion of a wiring pattern in a tapered shape, or a bent portion of a wiring pattern in a curved shape.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes a plurality of lands thereon. The size D2 of the outer land 3 in the direction along the outside array is less than the size D1 of the inner land 1 in the direction along the inside array. Therefore, it is possible to pass the pattern 4 with enough clearance against the outer land 3. The outer lands 3 are formed with an oval, elliptical or oblong shape. Namely, the size D3 of the outer land 3 in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the outside array is greater than the size D2. Then, it is possible to ensure a sufficient reliability of a soldered part. Preferably, the connected area 5 between the inner land 1 and the pattern 4 and the connected area 7 between the outer land 3 and the pattern 6 are formed as a shape of a tear-drop. Then, the patterns 4, 6 cannot be easily cut by a thermal stock or a heat cycle. The solder resist 8 is coated, around the outer land 3, from an outer area to an inner area of the outer land 3, except for the central area 3A. The resist 8 is further coated, around the inner land 1, from an outer area to an inner area of the inner land 1, except for the central area 1A. Then, each area 5, 7 is reinforced by the resist 8. Further, since a clearance between exposed areas 1A and a clearance between exposed areas 3A are widened, a bridge of solder does not easily occur.
Abstract:
A ball grid array integrated circuit package which has a plurality of elliptical shaped solder pads located on a substrate of the package. Routing traces are connected to the apexes of the elliptical shaped solder pads. Connecting a routing trace to the apex of an elliptical shaped solder pad reduces the stress points on the trace/pad interface. Vias may be coupled to the solder pads and the routing traces. The vias are located at the apexes of the elliptical shaped solder pads to reduce the stress points of the substrate.
Abstract:
A heat transfer apparatus is carried on a substrate (204) having top and bottom surfaces (212, 214). The heat transfer apparatus includes a pad (220/222), at least one via (224/226), and a plurality of pads (302). The pad (220/222) is carried on the top surface (212) of the substrate (204) to electrically connect to an electronic component (228/230). The via (224/226) intersects the pad (220/222) and extends between the top and bottom surfaces (212, 214) of the substrate (204). The plurality of pads (302) are carried on the bottom surface (214) of the substrate (204) beneath the pad (220/222). The via (224/226) intersects one of the plurality of pads (302) to transfer heat generated during operation of the electronic component (228/230) thereto.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus align and attach a leadless surface mount component (402) including a termination at each end of the component (402). The termination has bottom (704) and end (702) portions for attaching to a corresponding pad on a substrate (102) by a reflow solder process (1200). A pad arrangement (100) is formed including two opposite pads (108), each pad (108) occupying a tri-oval-shaped area. The tri-oval-shaped area includes an elliptical area (110) substantially centered under the bottom portion (704) of the corresponding termination of the component (402) when the component (402) is aligned with the pad arrangement (100), and an arcuate area (112) contiguous with the elliptical area (110) and extending towards the opposite pad (108) in a central lengthwise direction. A solder paste (202) is applied to the elliptical area (110), and thereafter reflowed, whereby solder (302) in the solder paste (202) liquefies and flows onto the arcuate area (112), thereby facilitating alignment of the component (402) with the pad arrangement (100).
Abstract:
An electrical connecting arrangement is provided between an electrical edge connector and a printed circuit board in which contact pads provided near the edge of the printed circuit board have a convex profile at least in the direction of insertion of the board into an opening in the edge connector. At full board insertion, each spring contact (3, FIG. 1A) of the connector engages a board contact pad (5) at a location (64) on the pad that lies beyond the center (66) of the pad.
Abstract:
Solder pads for surface mounting of devices on a circuit board are given predetermined shapes. By shaping of a solder pad, or contact pad, a device will be held in, or moved to, a desired position on melting of the solder at the pad. Improved alignment and positioning is obtained. Broadly, a contact or solder pad comprises a rectangular portion and a segmental portion, the device end resting on the rectangular portion and the segmental portion being outside of the contact position.
