Abstract:
A fixed resistor network has an insulating substrate, a plurality of film resistors arranged on a top surface of the insulating substrate, terminal electrodes formed for the film resistors on each lengthwise sidewall of the insulating substrate at a given pitch along the sidewall, and recesses provided between the terminal electrodes. The occurrence of solder bridges between the terminal electrodes during solder mounting and the occurrence of chipping in the terminal-electrode-forming areas between the recesses on the lengthwise sidewall are both reduced by making the width of the recesses along the lengthwise sidewall either 0.44 to 0.48 times or 0.525 to 0.625 times the pitch.

The transmitting component, the first circuitry module, the receiving component and the second circuitry module form at least one subassembly, the subassembly having: an encapsulation composition, in which the components of the subassembly are embedded, and a wiring layer embodied using thin-film technology, the wiring layer providing an electrical contact connection between the subassembly components and to associated contacts of the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
When an electrode component is inserted into a through hole from one side and then rotated, parts of a conductive film are cut by a cutting blade. Another electrode component including a chip component whose one terminal is connected to an electrode of this electrode component is inserted into the through hole from the other side. When compression bonding is applied to the both electrode components so as to be joined together, an electrode of the former electrode component and the electrode of the latter electrode component are spread within the through hole with the pressure. The spread electrode of the former electrode component contacts a portion of the conductive film that is electrically connected to a front surface wiring, and the spread electrode of the latter electrode component contacts another portion of the conductive film that is electrically connected to a back surface wiring.

Abstract:
A ball grid array resistor network has a substrate that has top and bottom surfaces. Resistors are disposed on the top surface. Conductors are disposed on the top surface, and each conductor is electrically connected to an end of each resistor. Vias extend through the substrate and are electrically connected to the conductors. Solder spheres are disposed on the bottom surface, and are electrically connected to the vias. A cover coat is disposed over the conductors and resistors. In an alternative embodiment, the vias are eliminated and the resistor network is formed on the bottom surface of the substrate. The resistor network provides a high density of resistors per unit area.
