Abstract:
A method for producing a device having a transponder antenna connected to contact pads. An antenna with terminal connections is provided in contact with a substrate. The contact pads are placed on the substrate and connected to the terminal sections of the antenna. The connection is produced by means of a soldering by introducing energy between the pads and the terminal sections. The pads are placed such as to provide a surface facing an antenna terminal connection section. The section is arranged on the substrate and the soldering energy is directly applied to the pads. The invention also relates to the device obtained.

Abstract:
A contact tail for an electronic component useful for attachment of components using conductive adhesive, which may be lead (Pb)-free. The contact tail is stamped, providing a relatively low manufacturing cost and high precision. The contact tail has a distal portion with a large surface area per unit length. The distal portion shapes conductive adhesive into a joint, holding the adhesive adjacent the lead for a more secure joint. Additionally, the distal portion holds adhesive to the contact tail before a joint is formed, facilitating the use of an adhesive transfer process to dispense adhesive. To further aid in the transfer of adhesive, the contact tail may be formed with concave portions, which increase the volume of adhesive adhering to the contact tail. By adhering an increased but controlled amount of adhesive to the contact tail, arrays of contact tails may be simply and reliably attached to printed circuit boards and other substrates.
Abstract:
A system for prototyping electrical circuits, as well as creating production circuits, without using solder. Stand-in electrical components 110a are placed on a carrier 100a and scanned 310. From the resulting data, a machine tool or laser ablation system 410 then creates a negative master 420a with aperture(s) 530 into which production components 810 are placed and secured. Component leads 820 or packages are encapsulated with electrically insulating material 910 with vias 1030a exposing the leads. Traces 1040 connect appropriate leads forming a circuit sub-assembly 1000 which can serve as a basis for a circuit assembly formed through a reverse-interconnection process.
