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:
The invention provides a shield structure that allows an easy installment of a shield case on a circuit board with more strength and firmness even if the shield case is warped or distorted. The proposed shield case includes a frame member consisting of four sidewalls and a cover member covering a farther end of the frame member from the circuit board. The frame member comprises a supporting member for sustaining the frame member on the circuit board and end faces confronting the circuit board. The supporting member comprises three projections protruding from the end face toward the circuit board.
Abstract:
An electrical contact assembly that uses an elastomer strip for each row of individual contacts. Each contact comprises a rigid bottom pin and a flexible top pin with a pair of arms which extend over and slide along sloped surfaces of the bottom contact. The elastomer strip is located between rows of the bottom and top pins. A bottom socket housing is provided with grooves which receive each elastomer strip. A row of top pins is then placed over each elastomer strip, and through ducts in the bottom socket housing. Bottom pins are then snapped into place in between the pair of arms.
Abstract:
An electronic device that includes an electronic component mounted on a multilayer ceramic substrate. The electronic component includes a connection terminal on the mounting surface side thereof, the connection terminal having an end with a rounded convex shape when viewed in cross section. The multilayer ceramic substrate includes a recessed portion at a position corresponding to the connection terminal, the recessed portion having a rounded concave shape when viewed in cross section, and a surface electrode disposed on at least part of the recessed portion and electrically connected to the connection terminal.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a test socket includes preparing a printed circuit board (PCB) on which a bonding pad is disposed, bonding a conductive wire on the bonding pad, mounting, on an upper surface of the PCB, a space through which the bonding pad is exposed, mounting, on an upper surface of the space, a base through which the bonding pad is exposed, mounting, on an upper surface of the base, a jig which covers the bonding pad, and injecting a liquid silicone rubber into a jig assembly by using the jig assembly as a mold, the jig assembly including the PCB, the space, the base, and the jig.
Abstract:
A method of fixing reflowable elements on electrical contacts. The method includes providing a strip having a number of electrical contacts, each contact including a contact body and a tail portion extending away from the contact body. The tail portions of the contacts are then disposed adjacent an elongate reflowable member. The elongate reflowable member is pushed onto the tail portions of the plurality of contacts. Subsequently, the elongate reflowable member is cut into a plurality of separate reflowable elements, each reflowable element corresponding to one of the tail portions. The electrical contacts with the reflowable element attached thereto are separated from the strip.
Abstract:
A wiring board having a lead pin is provided. The wiring board having the lead pin includes a connecting pad which is formed on the wiring board, and to which the lead pin is bonded through a conductive material. The lead pin includes: a shaft portion; a head portion which is provided on one end of the shaft portion; a protruded portion which is formed on a surface side of the head portion opposed to the connection pad; and a first taper portion which is formed between the head portion and a base part of the shaft portion.
Abstract:
A method is provided for manufacturing a QFN type semiconductor integrated circuit device using a multi-device lead frame having a tie bar for tying external end portions of plural leads, wherein sealing resin filled between an outer periphery of a mold cavity and the tie bar is removed by a laser and thereafter a surface treatment such as solder plating is performed.
Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor device having an element covered with a resin mold and a metal lead protruding from the resin mold in which a lead-tip portion thereof is entirely covered by solder plating and in which a lead-tip end surface, which is not covered by solder plating, has an area less than half of a cross-sectional area of the metal lead, whereby solder wettability of the metal lead is improved and a bonding strength to a circuit board is also improved.
