Abstract:
A plurality of lands and a plurality of conducting wires connected independently to each land are formed on one side surface of an insulating substrate of a flexible printed circuit board. Through-holes are formed through the insulating substrate for exposing the lands to the other side surface. Solder is provided in the through-holes. The solder connects the lands to the head terminals on an inkjet head, which is located facing the other side surface of the insulating substrate. The insulating substrate separates the solder from areas between the conducting wires and from areas between the lands, thereby preventing short circuits from occurring when manufacturing the connecting structure with a low tolerance grade.
Abstract:
Wiring electrodes are formed on a first principal surface of a base substrate. An insulation film partially covers the first principal surface of the base substrate and the wiring electrodes. The insulation film has opening portions where the base substrate and the wiring electrodes are not coated with the insulation film. An electronic component having bump electrodes is mounted on the mounting board by connecting the bump electrodes with the wiring electrodes in the opening portions. A gap between the first principal surface of the base substrate and the electronic component is filled with sealing resin. The opening portions are substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the wiring electrodes. The ratio of the minimum width of a portion of the base substrate exposed at each of the opening portions to the thickness of the insulation film may advantageously be greater than or equal to 2.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device having a circuit board mounting with a chip component which has a pair of electrodes disposed at its respective ends thereon, and a pair of land areas on the circuit board to which the pair of electrodes are soldered respectively. Each of the pair of land areas is covered with a protrusion of a solder resist layer protruding from a middle point of an edge thereof opposite to another edge thereof facing another of the pair of land areas toward a center thereof. The distance L between the protrusions of the solder resist layer satisfies an inequality: L≧EL where EL is a distance between the outer ends of the pair of electrodes of the chip component.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board unit comprises an insulated film disposed between a printed circuit board and an electronic component so as to define a through hole for receiving the solder bump. The through hole may be designed to form a constriction in the solder bump. Electric connection can reliably be established between the printed circuit board and the electronic component since the solder bump is allowed to penetrate through the through hole in the insulated film. When the insulated film is brought away from the printed circuit board, the insulated film serves to tear the solder bump in two pieces at the constriction, so that the electronic component can easily be detached from the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A wiring board includes a wiring pattern having a lands and a line connected to the land, a substrate supporting the wiring pattern, and a protective film provided over the substrate and having an opening. The land has a first portion which includes a connecting portion connected to the line and is covered by the protective film, and a second portion exposed by the opening. A hole for exposing the substrate is formed at least in the first portion of the land.

The first and the second conductive vias are positioned adjacent to and electrically connected to respective ones of the interconnect pads. Each one of the conductive vias is positioned on the respective reference axis and is spaced apart from the respective interconnect pad by a second distance. The first distance is substantially greater than the second distance wherein each conductive via is offset toward the connected interconnect pad.

The registration coupon may be used to determine a hole-to-outer layer feature registration and a solder mask registration. The registration coupon may include a registration hole provided on the circuit board, a metal pad and an anti-pad provided on the circuit board about the registration hole, and a solder mask covering the metal pad.
Abstract:
A thermally efficient printed circuit board for a ball grid array (BGA) integrated circuit package. The printed circuit board includes a first outer conductive plane located on a top surface of a substrate. A portion of the first outer conductive plane is covered with a solder mask. The solder mask has an opening that exposes a portion of the first outer conductive plane. A solder ball of the BGA package is attached to the exposed portion of the conductive plane to mount the package to the printed circuit board. The outer conductive plane has a wide area that provides a relatively efficient thermal path to conduct heat that flows through the solder ball from the integrated circuit package. Additionally, the outer conductive plane is coupled to internal conductive planes by a plurality of vias. The internal conductive planes further dissipate the heat which flows from the package into the printed circuit board.

A circuit board includes a number of orifices, a number of conductors engaged in the orifices of the circuit board and each having an aperture, and an insulating layer applied onto the conductors for preventing a weld metal material from being attached onto the conductors. One or more couplers each includes a bar for securing the prongs together. The weld metal material may be prevented from being applied between the bar and the conductors, for preventing the coupler from being separated from the conductors, and for preventing the prongs from being shortaged.
Abstract:
A fabricating method for a semiconductor package is proposed, in which a chip carrier accommodates at least one semiconductor chip, which is attached with an interface layer formed on a covering module plate consisting of at least one covering plate, while the interface layer is poor in adhesion to the chip and a molding compound used for forming an encapsulant. So that after completing molding, ball implantation and singulation processes, the interface layer, the covering plate and a portion of the encapsulant formed on the covering plate can be easily removed by heating the singulated semiconductor package. This allows the molding compound not to flash on the chip, and prevents the chip from being damaged by stress generated in the molding process.
