Abstract:
An assembly is provided of an electro-physical transducer (10) on a flexible foil (20) with a carrier (40). The flexible foil (20) has a first main surface (22) provided with at least a first electrically conductive track (24) connected to the electro-physical transducer and opposite said first main surface a second main surface (23) facing towards the carrier. At least a first incision (25a) extends through the flexible foil alongside said at least a first electrically conductive track, therewith defining a strip shaped portion (27) of the flexible foil that carries a portion of the at least a first electrically conductive track. The at least a first electrically conductive track is electrically connected to an electrical conductor (421) of the carrier, and the flexible foil is attached to the carrier with its strip shaped portion.

Abstract:
Described herein are electronic assemblies including a subassembly film and methods for making the same. In some embodiments, a first subassembly is formed by placing an electronic die at a die placement location on a subassembly film. A second subassembly may be formed by placing the first subassembly at a subassembly placement position on a base layer, such that electrical contacts/traces on the first film overlap with electrical contacts/traces at a subassembly connection point on the base layer. Placement of the die on the subassembly film may be performed with automatic placement machinery that has a placement accuracy that is greater than that required to place the first subassembly on the base layer. As a result, the costly and time consuming manual inspection of die placement may be avoided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a flexible conductive tape connection enabling electrical connection between an electrical appliance (2) and an external component (1), wherein the conductive tapes (8) are located in or on a flexible foil (3), which is fixed on both the electrical appliance (2) and the external component (1). The flexible foil (3) presents a loop (6) which can be filled with an elastic material in a predetermined area running along the conductive tapes (8) perpendicular to the plane of the foil or each of the conductive tapes in the plane of the foil present a looped displacement (9) perpendicular to the length of the conductive tapes.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed which discourage formation of destructive corrosion on or about circuit traces of printed circuit boards, and/or mitigate electronic circuit degradation and or destruction through corrosion of the circuit traces, whereby said corrosion produces changing characteristics of the circuit, and/or shorting to other adjacent circuit traces. Aspects and embodiments of the present disclosure include or provide for forming at least a portion of a circuit trace or traces with fractal and/or self-complementary geometries, or self complementary geometry alone.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for controlling an equivalent-series resistance (ESR) of a capacitor are provided. An exemplary apparatus includes a substrate having a land side, the capacitor mounted on the land side of the substrate and having both the ESR and terminals, a resistive pattern coupled to the terminals, and a plurality of vias coupled to the resistive pattern. The resistive pattern is configured to control the ESR. The resistive pattern can be formed of a resistive paste. The resistive pattern can be formed in a substantially semicircular shape having an arc ranging from substantially 45 degrees to substantially 135 degrees. The capacitor can be a surface mount device. The resistive pattern can be formed in a shape of a land-side capacitor mounting pad, a via, or both.
