Abstract:
A method and electrical interconnect structure internal to a printed circuit board for the purposes of creating a reliable, high performing connection method between embedded component terminals, signal traces and or power/ground planes which may occupy the same vertical space as the embedded components, such as a capacitor or resistor. Further easing the assembly and reliability through the manufacturing process of said embedded component structures. In one structure castellated drilled, plated vias connect the trace or plane within the printed circuit board to the electrical terminals of the embedded component using a permanent and highly conductive attach material. In another structure, the trace or plane connect by selective side-wall plating, which surrounds the electrical terminal of the component This structure also uses a permanent and highly conductive attach material to electrically connect the component terminal to the plated side-wall and in a final embodiment the terminals are connected through a conductive attach material through a via in the z axis to a conductive pad.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a printed circuit board arrangement (400) and a method for forming an electrical connection at a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board arrangement comprises a printed circuit board (410) having a first side (411), a second side (412) and an electrical connection (413) electrically connecting a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer (417) of the printed circuit board. The electrical connection (413) comprises a passage (416) extending from an opening in one of the sides of the printed circuit board through the printed circuit board between the first and second layers. Electrically conducting material (414) is formed on the walls (415) of the passage. The electrically conducting material forms a first path electrically connecting the first conductive layer (417) with the second conductive layer (417). At least one first ball 420 is enclosed by the passage. The at least one firstball is electrically conducting and has a diameter which is equal to or smaller than the length and diameter of the passage, wherein the at least one first ball (420) form part of a second electrical path between the first and second conductive layers of the printed circuit board, said second electrical path having a lower resistance than the first path.
Abstract:
A test point of a circuit board is probed using an edge probe provided in a fixed orientation when the edge of the probe contacts a solder mound of the test point. The solder mound has an elongated shape. A length of the edge is substantially perpendicular to a length of the solder mound when the edge contacts the solder mound and is maintained in the fixed orientation.
Abstract:
A method of using coated and/or magnetic particles to deposit structures including solder joints, bumps, vias, bond rings, and the like. The particles may be coated with a solderable material. For. solder joints, after reflow the solder material may comprise unmelted particles in a matrix, thereby increasing the strength of the joint and decreasing the pitch of an array of joints. The particle and coating may form a higher melting point alloy, permitting multiple subsequent reflow steps. The particles and/or the coating may be magnetic. External magnetic fields may be applied during deposition to precisely control the particle loading and deposition location. Elements with incompatible electropotentials may thereby be electrodeposited in a single step. Using such fields permits the fill of high aspect ratio structures such as vias without requiring complete seed metallization of the structure. Also, a catalyst consisting of a magnetic particle coated with a catalytic material, optionally including an intermediate layer.

The aim of the invention is to simplify and improve the production method for circuit arrangements that are mounted on a support element (5), said element having thermal through-platings (7) which are at least partially sealed by a screen printing process. To this end, the screen printing process is carried out after the application of a first metallisation layer (6) to the support element (5) which forms the base metallisation layer, whereby the residue of the screen printing material (8) remaining on the underside (13) of the support element (5) is stripped once the screen printing material (8) has been cured, using at least a mechanical cleaning process and/or a chemical cleaning process.
Abstract:
A package for power converters in which a multilayers circuit board holds the components. The winding of the magnetic elements are incorporated in the multilayers circuit board. The top and some portions of the bottom layers are also support for electronic components. Some of the components are placed on the top layer, which may not be utilized for magnetic winding, reducing the footprint of the magnetic core (26a). The power dissipating devices placed on pads which have a multitude of copper coated via connecting the top to bottom layers. Through these via the heat is transferred from the power devices to the other side of the PCB. In some of the embodiments of this invention the heat can be further transferred to a metal plate connected to the multilayers circuit board via a thermally conductive insulator. The base plate has cutouts or cavities to accomodate the magnetic cores. A thermally conductive material is placed between the magnetic core (26a) and the metal plate on the bottom of the cavity.

Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to conduct away the heat produced by the operation of a power component (10) soldered on to a circuit board (13) via a soldering surface (12). To remove the heat, through-contacts (18) are provided which are situated outside the soldering surface (12) and are electrically insulated by a length of insulation (19). These through-contacts (18) ensure good thermal contact through the floor (23) of the circuit board (13) to the heat sink (35). The length of insulation (19) ensures that the contact surface of the power component (10), which is raised to an electrical potential, is separated electrically from the contact surface of the heat sink (35), which is normally earthed. The intermediate layers (21, 22) which will also be present in a multilayer circuit board (13) of conventional design and the use of through-contacts (18) filled with tin further enhance the conduction of heat from the power component (10) to the heat sink (35).

PURPOSE: A connector is provided to improve hermeticity by combining a bar-shaped member with a through-hole by soldering. CONSTITUTION: An insulating substrate(11) includes a surface(11a), a rear surface(11b), and a through-hole(11h). A conductive pattern(15) covers an inner wall of the through-hole. A bar-shaped member(16) is stretched to a direction crossing the surface in the through-hole. A first terminal(16a) of the bar-shaped member is protruded from the surface. The first terminal and a second terminal(16b) of the bar-shaped member are in the through-hole. Solder(17) covers the second terminal while sealing a gap of the bar-shaped member and the inner wall of the through-hole.
