Abstract:
A contact structure and assembly and a method for manufacturing the same for a microelectronics device includes first and second electrically conductive contacts being helically shaped. A carrier element is attached to and positioned between the first and second contacts. The first and second contacts are in electrical communication with each other, and the first and second contacts are in a mirror image relationship with each other. A pair of insulating substrates each include electrically conductive members. A contact point on each of the first and second contacts is attached and electrically communicating to respective electrically conductive members such that the first and second electrically conductive contacts between the pair of insulating substrates form an electrically conductive package. A metal layer on the carrier element provides electrical conductivity through a first opening defined by the carrier element between the first and second portions of the helix shaped contact.

Abstract:
Non-rectangular interposers for space efficient, reliable to manufacture, high speed interconnections between two printed circuit boards, such as a motherboard and a mating board. One example provides space efficiency with a non-rectangular interposer, where the interposer may be at least approximately circular. Reliable manufacturing may be provided by the inclusion of one or more openings to accept one or more alignment features. In one example, a first opening is provided to accept a threaded boss, which may be used to fasten the two printed circuit boards and interposer together. In another example, a second opening may be provided to accept an alignment pin, wherein the pin aligns the interposer to the two printed circuit boards. Contacts may be provided on each side to mate with contacts on each of the two printed circuit boards.

The connection terminal includes a first end part fixed to the first conductor; a second end part to be connected to a first object of connection to be placed opposite the first surface of the board body; and a projection part provided on the first end part so as to project toward the first conductor.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a wiring pattern, a recess, a pad portion, and an electronic component. The wiring pattern is formed on an inner surface of the housing from an electrically conductive adhesive. The recess is in the inner surface of the housing. The pad portion is formed in the recess from the conductive adhesive and connected to an end portion of the wiring pattern. The electronic component includes a terminal which contacts the pad portion.
Abstract:
A PCB module includes a first rigid PCB having a first edge connector, a second rigid PCB having a second edge connector, and a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a flexible connecting board, an elastic member, and a fixing member. The flexible connecting has a number of connecting circuit traces isolated from each other. The flexible connecting board is bent in such a manner that a first end portion is in contact with the first edge connector, and a second end portion is in contact with the second edge connector. Thus, the first edge connector is electrically connected with the second edge connector by the traces. The elastic member is compressed between the end portions of the flexible connecting board. The fixing member is configured to fix the first rigid PCB to the second rigid PCB and compress the elastic member.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board assembly has plural printed circuit boards that are mechanically and electrically connected to each other with them being stacked, and a connection layer that connects the adjacent two printed circuit boards to each other is provided. The connection layer includes an insulation portion and an electric conduction portion. The insulation portion contains an insulating member and is adhered to each of the adjacent two printed circuit boards. The electric conduction portion passes through the insulation portion and connects electrode terminals of the adjacent two printed circuit boards.
Abstract:
An electrical connector adapted to receive a mating plug utilizes low-profile jack terminal contacts that can flex in their PCB-anchored base portions, which are substantially parallel to the PCB. Any bend in the distal connecting portion or in the intermediate transition portion of each terminal contact is gradual and forms an obtuse angle, thus minimizing stress concentrations. The contacts preferably are arranged in two oppositely facing and interdigitating rows of four contacts each. In one embodiment, the terminal contacts are anchored to the PCB by a contact cradle that constrains the base portion of each terminal contact at two spaced anchoring locations, allowing the base portion to flex therebetween. In another embodiment, the base portions of the terminal contacts are embedded in at least one elastomeric member, which is fitted to the PCB.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dashboard indicator module comprising, in a casing, a rotary motor, an output shaft, mechanical reduction means associated with the motor, at least one electrical supply coil, electrical connection tabs linked to the coils leaving said casing and electrical contact elements, characterised in that said electrical contact elements can be fitted on the connection tabs in order to produce solderless connectors on the printed circuit or even removed from the connection tabs in order to allow the connection tabs of the motor to be soldered directly to the printed circuit.
