Abstract:
In a contact device with a plurality of mutually remote and interconnected contact points, the contact points are connected by means of strip-like, flexible conductive track foils in which at least partly electrically separable contact points are connected through via a plurality of at least partly parallel conductive tracks on the foil and in which conductive track sections form direct plug contacts in plug-in regions of modular plug and/or socket devices of the connection device.
Abstract:
A device (100) having an external contact electrical connection (155) for providing an electrical interface to the device includes a housing member (222) having apertures (235, 335), and a flexible film substrate (270) having an electrically conductive pattern (275). Portions of the electrically conductive pattern defines contact areas (255, 355) for presenting the electrical interface of the device (100). These contact areas (255, 355) are rigidly positioned adjacent to the interior surface (324) of the housing (222) about the apertures (235, 335) such that the contact areas (255) are externally exposed through the apertures (235, 335).
Abstract:
A printed circuit terminal device for coupling a terminal array (e.g. on a plasma display panel) having very fine pitch : with lead lines from a circuit portion (71,72) includes a flexible printed circuit board (22) having a terminal array pattern (23) which corresponds to the terminal array and wiring patterns (710,720) which extend alternately from opposite sides of the terminal array pattern (23) so that the pitch of the wiring patterns (710,720) is twice that of the pitch of the terminal array pattern (23). This allows the circuit portion (71,72) to be coupled easily and reliably to the terminal array having very fine pitch and the formation of the wiring patterns (710,720) can be performed easily and results in an arrangement of very small size. The flexible printed circuit board (22) can be manufactured at low cost and the yield can be increased. Also, circuit elements such as resistors (25) can be mounted on the wiring patterns (710,720) without changing the wiring pitch.
Abstract:
A flexible circuit assembly can include a base layer (244), a plurality of circuit traces (350) and an insulative layer (362). The plurality of circuit traces can each be coupled to a pair of circuit pads, and the circuit traces can be formed on an upper side of the base layer. The insulative layer can be formed over the circuit traces to isolate the circuit traces from an external environment. The base layer, plurality of circuit traces and insulative layer can form a flexible circuit sheet (232). The base layer and the insulative layer can include material properties and a thickness configured to facilitate the flexible circuit sheet being flexible such that the flexible circuit sheet is adapted to conform to a non-planar surface of the medical device (100).
Abstract:
A structure for use with data network management systems uses a plurality of cables interconnecting patch panels, network devices and end-user devices and further utilizes integrated circuits to monitor the status of these end-user devices. The structure includes respective primary (36) and secondary (45) circuit boards. A plurality of connective jacks (31) are mounted on the primary circuit board and these jacks are interconnected to switches and other patch panels within the network. Wires from the jacks extend to and connect with end-user devices and a secondary circuit board is spaced apart from the primary circuit board so as to define a hollow nest (42) within the patch panel assembly that houses and protects integrated circuits (45, 52) and the like.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrical plug connector, specifically a female data connector for receiving at least one male data connector such that contact is made, having a housing and a connecting device (10) which is positioned in the housing, wherein the connecting device (10) has at least one printed circuit board (12, 13) with electrical conductors (14, 15) which form an electrical line path between input connections and output connections of the connecting device, wherein a printed circuit board (13) can be pressed, by way of a second side, indirectly or directly against contacts of a male data connector by means of a contact-pressure element (16) which rests in an electrically insulated manner against portions of a first side of the printed circuit board in order to thus provide an electrical connection between the contacts of the male data connector and the electrical line path of the female data connector. According to the invention, the contact-pressure element (16) is mounted on a contact-pressure element holder (17) and rests against a central portion of the printed circuit board (13) on the first side of said printed circuit board so that the printed board (13) is supported on the contact-pressure element holder (7) at both of its ends.
