The metallic base (2) comprises one or more seats (4) electrically isolated from the metallic base (2), at least one of the electrically isolated seats (4) being suitable for containing a leg wire (100) of oneof the electronic components (501-503) while keeping the leg wire (100) electrically isolated from the metallic base (2).
Abstract:
A circuit assembly comprises a circuit board (11) and a heat plate (12) affixed thereto. The heat plate (12) comprises a metal substrate (17) which has a layer of an electrically insulating material (18) secured to the face of the metal substrate (17) remote from the circuit board (11). The insulating layer (18) isolates the metal substrate (17) from the wire legs (14) of devices (16) placed upon the board (11).
Abstract:
The conductors (2) exiting from the housing of a component (1) may be grouped conveniently for one customer but inconveniently for others. Manufacturing components with different groupings for each customer would lose the advantages of quantity. So the exiting conductors (2) are connected to plated through-holes in an inner PCB (5). Fastons are connected to plated holes in an outer PCB (8) in a fashion approved by an individual customer. Bridging connectors which are rigid extend between bondings in opposite holes in the two PCB's. The printed patterns on the boards enable the change of grouping of the terminals. Some bridging connectors may be extensions (7) of the exiting conductors (4). They provide rigidity of the boards and also interconnections. The inner board (5) rests on walls (3) from the housing (1), or on ledges or flanges (13) of the connectors.
Abstract:
A flexible applique or patch (30) is used to modify a circuit board (10) by attaching the flexible applique to the back side of a circuit board needing rework. The flexible applique has circuit paths (28') on both its front and back side. The flexible applique also has circuit paths which pass from the front side to the back side of the applique or patch. If additional electrical components are required by the rework, the back side of the applique or patch is provided with pads to which surface mount electrical components are easily attached. Implementing the rework using the applique or patch is simple and easy. The front side of the patch is positioned on the back side of the circuit board, and then attached to the back of the circuit board either by soldering down points along the edge of the patch or by providing an adhesive on the front side of the patch. Using this method, both simple and complex reworks can be quickly accomplished.

Abstract:
A method for electrically and mechanically connecting two printed circuit boards involves creating a first hole in the overcoat of the first circuit board at all points where electrical connection to the second circuit is desired. Then a second, smaller hole is made within the first hole, completely through the first circuit board. Next, the two circuits are juxtaposed, with the first above the second, and fastened together by an adhesive. A third hole, smaller than the second and located nearly concentric with the first and second holes, is then made through the second circuit board. Finally, the electrical and additional mechanical connection is made by inverting the combination and passing it over a solder wave of a wave soldering machine. During this process the third hole acts as a vent.
