Abstract:
An interconnect structure has a plurality of planar interconnects (1, 2) mutually superposed with a prescribed distance therebetween and serving as interconnects between two circuit boards (A, B), each of the planar interconnects (1, 2) having at least two connection terminals (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B) at the circuit boards (1, 2). Rather than using rigid wire interconnects as done in the past to make interconnections, planar interconnects having relatively large surface areas are used to increase the line-to-line capacitance, thereby enhancing the filtering function that reduces high-frequency noise.

Abstract:
An interconnection circuit includes a plated through hole having a plurality of electrically isolated segments with at least one of the plurality of electrically isolated segments coupled to a signal path and at least one of the electrically isolated segments coupled to ground. With this arrangement, the circuit provides a signal path between a first and a second different layers of a multilayer. By providing one segment as a signal segment and another segment as a ground segment the size and shape of the electrically isolated segments can be selected to provide the interconnection circuit having a predetermined impedance characteristic. The interconnection circuit can thus be impedance matched to circuit board circuits, devices and transmission lines, such as striplines, microstrips and co-planar waveguides. This results in an interconnection circuit which maintains the integrity of relatively high-frequency signals propagating through the interconnection circuit from the first layer to the second layer. The interconnect circuits can be formed by creating distinct conductor paths within the cylindrical plated through-holes using variety of manufacturing techniques including, but not limited to, broaching techniques, electrical discharge milling (EDM) techniques and laser etching techniques.
Abstract:
The interconnection board includes a plurality of non-conductive insulation layers and through-holes running through the insulation layers. A plurality of conductive patterns are provided on each insulation layer, electrically insulated from each other, and exposed to the inside of one through-hole at the same axial position of the through-hole. The connection pin has a non-conductive stem and a connection pattern provided on the non-conductive stem. The connection pattern extends in the axial direction of the connection pin and electrically connects two conductive patterns provided on different insulation layers at the same circumferential position in the through-hole, by bringing the conductive patterns into contact at positions which are axially different and circumferentially the same.

A multi-board electronic assembly (10) includes a first substrate (12) and a second substrate (14) electrically connected by a spacer (16). The spacer (16) includes a first end (26) that is received in a first receptacle (18) on the first substrate (12) and a second end (28) that is received in a second receptacle (22) in the second substrate (14). The spacer (16) is formed generally of a nonconductive body (15) and includes ridges (60) and longitudinal channels (30) defined between the ridges (60). The ridges (60) are formed generally of a nonconductive material, and the spacer (16) includes a metallic strip (32) disposed within the channel (30). The metallic strip (32) forms a conductive path to connect the first circuit trace (20) to the second circuit trace (24) to form an electrically connected microelectronic assembly (10).

Abstract:
A printed circuit board pin having a dielectric body and two or more conductor lines extending along the body, the conductor lines insulated from one another. In one construction, the body is planar with a planar conductor line on each of two opposite sides of the pin. This pin may be made by stamping from a laminate sheet of the dielectric material sandwiched between layers of conductor material. Three or more conductors upon a pin may be formed by plating techniques or possibly by extrusion.

A Z-directed component for mounting in a mounting hole in a printed circuit board according to one example embodiment includes a main body portion and a tapered end portion that facilitates insertion of the Z-directed component into the mounting hole in the printed circuit board. The tapered end portion is removably attached to the main body portion such that the tapered end portion may be removed after the Z-directed component is inserted into the mounting hole in the printed circuit board. A method for installing a Z-directed component having a removable tapered lead-in into the mounting hole according to one example embodiment includes inserting the Z- directed component into the mounting hole in the printed circuit board with the removable tapered lead-in leading the insertion and after the Z-directed component is inserted into the mounting hole, removing the removable lead-in from the rest of the Z-directed component.
