    Abstract: An apparatus for automating the fabrication of a copper vertical launch (CVL) within a printed circuit board (RGB) includes a feed mechanism to feed and extrude copper wire from a spool of copper wire and a wire cutting and gripping mechanism to receive copper wire from the feed mechanism, cut and secure a segment of copper wire, insert the segment of copper wire into a hole formed within the RGB, solder an end of the segment of copper wire to a signal trace of the RGB, and flush cut an opposite end of the segment of the copper wire to a surface of the RGB. The wire cutting and gripping mechanism includes a wire cutter to flush cut the segment of copper wire and an integrated heated gripper device to receive the copper wire from the spool of copper wire and cut and grab a segment from copper wire.

    Abstract: A process of fabricating an electromagnetic circuit includes providing three laminate sheets, forming a first feature in a first laminate sheet of the three laminate sheets, and forming a second feature in a second laminate sheet of the three laminate sheets. The second feature is aligned with the first feature when aligning the second laminate sheet with the first laminate sheet. The process further includes stacking the three laminate sheets so that the first laminate sheet is positioned above and aligned with the second laminate sheet and the second laminate sheet is positioned above and aligned with the third laminate sheet. The first feature and the second feature define a contiguous element. The process further includes filling the contiguous element with an electrically conductive material to form an electrically continuous conductor.

    Abstract: An apparatus to automatically place layers of a printed circuit board on a fixture includes a robotic device having a base that is secured to a surface, an upright column that extends upwardly from the base, and a movable arm rotatably coupled to the upright column. The movable arm is configured to rotate about a vertical axis defined by the upright column. The movable arm is further configured to rotate from a position in which the movable arm is disposed over a laminate sheet fixture and to pick up a laminate sheet to a position in which the movable arm is disposed over a board layup fixture to deposit the laminate sheet in the board layup fixture, and from a position in which the movable arm is disposed over a bond film fixture and to pick up a bond film to a position in which the movable arm is disposed over the board layup fixture to deposit the bond film in the board layup fixture.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a printed circuit assembly includes providing a flexible-hybrid circuit (18) having a base (20) and at least one side panel (24a-c). The at least one side panel (24a-c) is hingedly connected to the base (20). The method further includes disposing a support structure (12) on the flexible-hybrid circuit (18). The support structure (12) includes a base, which is disposed on the base (20) of the flexible-hybrid circuit (18), and at least one side that corresponds to the at least one side panel (24a-c) of the flexible-hybrid circuit (18). The method further includes folding the at least one side panel (24a-c) of the flexible-hybrid circuit (18) so that the at least one side panel (24a-c) is disposed co-planar with the at least one side of the support structure (12) to create a printed circuit assembly.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing an interconnection including a stack of wirebond balls having a selected impedance. The wirebond balls may have a size, which may comprise a radius, configured for the selected impedance. The stack may comprise a number of wirebond balls configured for the selected impedance and/or may comprise a material selected for the selected impedance. In embodiments, the selected impedance is primarily resistive (e.g., 50 Ohms), such that the overall reactance is minimized.
