Abstract:
A method and apparatus for depositing conductive paste in openings of a circuitized substrate such as a multilayered printed circuit board to produce effective conductive thru-holes capable of being electrically coupled to selected conductive layers of the substrate. The invention comprises using vacuum to draw from the underside of the substrate while substantially simultaneously applying the paste onto the substrate's opposing surface. One example of means for accomplishing such paste application is a squeegee, and in one embodiment, two such squeegees may be used. A porous member is used to engage the substrate's undersurface during the vacuum draw, this member being positioned atop a base vacuum member through which the vacuum is drawn.

Abstract:
A device 101 for thermal management of an LED 120 employs a heatsink 160, a substrate 111, a trace layer 130 and a via 180. The via 180 includes a sidewall 182 defining a channel 181 extending through substrate 110. The channel 181 is beneath the trace layer 130 and above the heatsink 160 to transfer any heat applied to the trace layer 130 by the LED 120 to the heatsink 160.
Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board is provided in which microcracks or metallic migration is mitigated when a Resin Fill Plated Through Hole (RFP) is arranged near the edge thereof. The multilayer printed circuit board includes an inner layer having an RFP, outer layers, RFP lands, and conductor layers. The conductor layers are positioned over the RFP lands and the outer edges of the conductor layers extends outward further than the outer edges of the RFP lands. When the multilayer printed circuit board is heated, a stress is generated in and near the RFP. The conductor layers positioned so as to cover the RFP lands, exert a reaction against the stress to suppress generation of microcracks in the multilayer printed circuit board and thereby mitigate metallic migration in the board.

A discrete circuit component is made from a substrate with the first and second surfaces thereof each having a corresponding matrix of electrically conductive segments. A plated through-hole connects each of the conductive segments of each the first and second conductive segments electrically. The through-hole is first clogged and then subsequently cleared of clogging in the fabrication stages.
Abstract:
A slip ring and a method for manufacturing a slip ring utilizes a first double clad copper laminate with a first side and a second side separated by a first dielectric and a second double clad copper laminate with a third side and a fourth side separated by a second dielectric. Copper is selectively removed from the second and third sides to provide desired patterns in the copper. The second and third sides are joined in a desired orientation. Substantially, all of the copper from a window in the first and fourth sides is removed to expose the first and second dielectrics. A plurality of concentric grooves is machined into the first and second dielectrics from the first and fourth sides and the concentric grooves are metalized to provide a plurality of concentric metalized rings.
