Abstract:
A printed circuit assembly includes surface mounted circuit components held in place on a printed circuit board by a rigid connection. The outwardly extending leads of the circuit component are bonded to conductive areas of the board by an electrically conducting flexible adhesive. The combination of a rigid mechanical connection between the body portion of the circuit component and the board and a flexible, electrically conductive connection between each lead end and the board provides an arrangement capable of withstanding shock loading, as well as vibrational and bending forces to which the assembly might be subjected. The assembly lends itself to relatively inexpensive circuit boards produced by printing techniques, typically including applied metal buses that serve as low resistance shunts to the power connections of the circuit components.
Abstract:
A printed board capable of permitting the passage of at least two wiring patterns between two adjacent mounting lands on the surface of the printed board even if a clearance between the adjacent mounting lands is limited. Mounted on the printed board is an electrical component having a plurality of leads extending in a parallel relation with each other with limited clearances formed between adjacent leads. The printed board has a plurality of mounting lands to which the respective leads of the electrical component are secured as by soldering, there being a limited clearance defined between adjacent ones of the lands such that only one wiring pattern printed on the printed board can run through the clearance in the direction parallel to that in which the leads extend. The adjacent two lands have two facing parallel sides which are disposed in parallel with each other at an angle relative to the direction in which the leads extend, so that at least two wiring patterns, printed on the surface of the printed board, can run through the clearance between the facing sides of the adjacent lands in a parallel relation therewith.

Abstract:
A data bus of a DVD+RW recorder between a DSP and a SDRAM usually needs a multilayer wiring board. In order to simplify the layout of the wiring board of the data bus there is provided a method for connecting at least a first and a second integrated circuit by providing the first integrated circuit having a plurality of first logical I/O ports physically arranged in a first order at the periphery, and providing the second integrated circuit having a plurality of second logical I/O ports physically arranged in a second order at the periphery, wherein each first I/O port is to be connected to one of said second I/O ports. The first and second I/O logical ports are connected independently from the first and/or second physical order, so that connection lines do not cross each other.

The invention concerns a method for making a contactless chip card comprising an electronic module (600), and connected to said module, an antenna (200). The inventive method comprises the following steps: producing, on a first support sheet (100), the antenna (200) provided at its ends, with connection terminals (250); producing an insulating bridge (300) partly covering the antenna (200) coils except for the connection terminals (250); depositing a drop of filling material (500) on the insulating bridge; transferring the electronic module (600), its connection pads (610) being oriented towards the insulating bridge (300); then providing an electric connection between the module (600) contact pads and the antenna (200) connection terminals (250).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heating method and a printed circuit board comprising a heating element (90) which generates heat required to heat printed circuit board components. The printed circuit board comprises heat conductor (40) between the heating element (90) and the component to be heated, the heat conductor receiving heat generated by the heating element (90) and conducting the heat along the surface of the printed circuit board beneath the lower surface of the component to be heated. Furthermore, the printed circuit board comprises conductor parts (15, 70) which are narrower than the heat conductor (40), or which have a smaller cross-sectional surface area than does the heat conductor, and which restrict heat transfer away from the heat conductor (40) to a component other than the one to be heated when the heat conductor (40) functions as a ground plane or a signal path.
Abstract:
An improved connector assembly (1) particularly useful for testing semiconductor devices of ball grid array ('BGA') structure (10) with a plurality of solder balls (11) formed on the surface thereof. The balls (11) are placed into contact with opposing conductive portions (3a) of the connector assembly. A heat generating member (7), such as a wire, is disposed proximate to the connector assembly conductive portions (3a) and may be selectively energized to generate heat to partially melt the solder balls (11). Reliable connections are effected in this manner.
