Abstract:
First and second tapered holes are provided at facing positions of the first and second circuit boards. The elastic spacer including first and second spacers is attached between them to couple the two in parallel and thereby facilitate attachment of the two to a back panel. The first spacer is provided at one end part with a tapered part which fits with the first tapered hole and the second spacer is provided at one end part with a tapered part which fits with the second tapered hole. A spring is inserted between the two spacers. The first spacer is fit in the tapered hole and fastened by a screw to the first circuit board. The second circuit board is fastened by a screw to the first spacer in a state fitting the second tapered hole over the second spacer with the second circuit board approaching the first circuit board.
Abstract:
A sinking type electrical connector is adapted for coupling to a circuit board. The sinking type electrical connector includes a body and at least one limiting unit. The body has a front end portion, a connecting portion provided in the front end portion, and a top surface. The limiting unit is provided at one side of the body and includes a plurality of limiting portions respectively located at different levels. A selected one of the limiting portions of the limiting unit which are at different levels is brought to engage the circuit board so that a distance from the top surface of the body to the circuit board is changeable.
Abstract:
In a module, press-fit connection using a pin terminal including a connection part separated into two parts and a flat plane parallel to the lengthwise direction in the separation part and perpendicular to the separation direction of the pin terminal is performed. A through-hole of a board is structured so that an inner diameter of the through-hole at a middle part in the thickness direction of the board is smaller than that at obverse and reverse surfaces of the board and the length of the middle part of the through-hole connected to the pin terminal is shorter than the length of the flat plane of the pin terminal.
Abstract:
According to exemplary embodiments, a tapered surface interconnect is formed on a printed circuit board (PCB). A compliant pin of an electrical connector may be coupled to the tapered surface interconnect and soldered thereto. The surface interconnect may be formed by drilling through one or more layers of the PCB. The depth of the surface interconnect may be shorter than a height or a thickness of the PCB. The surface interconnect may have a tapered side wall to allow for a better fit with a tapered compliant pin. The inclination of the side wall of the surface interconnect may be linear or concave. The intersection between the tapered sidewall and the bottom of the surface interconnect may be rounded to minimize pin insertion issues and may allow for easier solder flux evacuation. The compliant pin may be soldered into place upon being coupled to the tapered surface interconnect.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a surface mount device to be mounted on a base member, including plural lead units, each of the plural lead units including, a lead including a body portion and a foot formed at an end of the lead; a solder portion formed at the foot of the lead to protrude toward the direction of the base member to have a summit portion, and a diffusion prevention portion provided on the lead for preventing a diffusion of a solder along the body portion of the lead.
Abstract:
In a relay module device, a signal converting section transmits driving signals of switching elements when receiving input signals from an external device and sets a relationship between the input signals and the driving signals. The relationship includes a first mode in which the signal converting section transmits the driving signals to separately control one of the switching elements with respect to one of the input signals, and a second mode in which the signal converting section transmits the driving signals to concurrently control two or more of the switching elements with respect to one of the input signals.
Abstract:
The invention provides a surface mount technology process for an advanced quad flat no-lead package process and a stencil used therewith. The surface mount technology process for an advanced quad flat no-lead package includes providing a printed circuit board. A stencil with first openings is mounted over the printed circuit board. A solder paste is printed passing the first openings to form first solder paste patterns. The stencil is taken off. A component placement process is performed to place the advanced quad flat no-lead package comprising a die pad on the printed circuit board, wherein the first solder paste patterns contact a lower surface of the die pad, and an area ratio of the first openings to the lower surface of the die pad is between 1:2 and 1:10. A reflow process is performed to melt the first solder paste patterns to surround a sidewall of the die pad.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a printed circuit board having lands and an electronic element having a body and terminals. First and second lands provide a zigzag pattern. Each first land is coupled with the first terminal, and each second land is coupled with the second terminal. The second terminal includes a first parallel member, a first connection member, a second parallel member and a first mounting member. The first parallel member is completely embedded in the body, or another part of the first parallel member exposed from the body is shorter than the second parallel member. A second height between the second parallel member and the printed circuit board is smaller than a first height between the first parallel member and the printed circuit board.
