Abstract:
A printed circuit board unit includes a printed wiring board. A socket is mounted on the surface of the printed wiring board. A fixation member is mounted on the surface of the printed wiring board at a position spaced from the socket. A screw bore is defined in the fixation member for receiving insertion of a screw. An engagement member is configured to move in the horizontal direction along the surface of the printed wiring board between a reference position and a withdrawing position. The engagement member is set at the reference position so that a predetermined space is defined between the engagement member and the fixation member. The engagement member withdraws from the reference position to the withdrawing position so as to get out of the predetermined space. An elastic member is configured to exhibit an elastic force urging the engagement member toward the reference position.
Abstract:
A board comprising a frame comprised of a thermoplastic resin in which an insert part is embedded and metallized over the entire surface by a metal film. In particular, a method of embedding an insert part, while preventing the metal film from being depositing on the female screw in the insert part, a first aspect of which, at first, forming a metal film on the entire surface of the frame including a through hole in the frame, then press fitting the insert part into the through hole. In the second aspect, before the frame in, which the insert part is held, is formed with the metal film, a masking member that covers the entire surface of the female screw of the insert part is attached.

Each of the heat dissipating assembly includes at least a pair of securing members at opposite corners thereof. The back plate includes a first portion and a second portion each defining at least a pair of circular protrusions corresponding to the securing members of the heat dissipating assemblies.
Abstract:
A structure of a high frequency non-reciprocal passive device, such as circulator/isolator and method of installation. The structure includes a substantially rigid lip with cutouts for hot leads to go through. The walls of the cutout are situated in close proximity and symmetrically to the leads. The structure also having mounting holes. The installation process includes a step of putting the structure into a pocket in a carrier wherein a defined amount of a low heat transfer/electrical resistance substance, for example a grease, is located. The size of the lip is larger than the size of the pocket. Therefore the structure is supported on the rim of the pocket, while its portion which is under the lip and having smaller size is located in the pocket. Mounting screws can provide a predetermined pressure to the carrier by the device housing. By this, the lip is provided a reliable grounding in close proximity to the hot leads of the device, while the gap between the bottom of the pocket and the housing of the device is also defined and kept.
Abstract:
A device for checking the attachment of a circuit board on a carrier, in particular a housing, has on each attachment point a pair of mutually associated electrically conductive contact surfaces and an electrically conductive connecting arrangement, which connects the circuit board mechanically to the carrier and at the same time connects the electrically conductive contact surfaces of the respective pair electrically to each other. At least one of the electrically conductive contact surfaces of a pair is situated on the circuit board. The other contact surface may likewise be situated on the circuit board or, for an electrically conductive carrier, even on the carrier. The respective pairs of conductive contact surfaces and the electrically conductive connecting arrangement form an electric circuit, which may be connected in a series circuit or a parallel circuit. An evaluation circuit checks whether the electric circuit thus formed is closed.
Abstract:
A circuit board is fixed to a housing including a boss-like fixing part by being fastened by a fixing tool. The circuit board includes a printed portion formed in a region that the circuit board contacts with the housing. The printed portion includes a lattice printed portion formed by silk screening on a periphery of a fixing hole through which the fixing tool is inserted, and a ring printed portion formed by silk screening on a periphery of the lattice printed portion. The lattice printed portion includes a non-printed region, and the ring printed portion includes no non-printed region.
Abstract:
A packaging method for assembling a captive screw to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes the steps of providing a captive screw having a screw head, a threaded shank and a sleeve; pressing a fixture toward the screw head for a part of the threaded shank to exposed from a distal end of the sleeve, and then clamping the fixture on the sleeve; providing a PCB having through holes and a layer of solder provided thereon; using a tool to pick up the fixture and the captive screw and align the threaded shank with one through hole on the PCB; releasing the fixture and the captive screw from the tool for a flange at the distal end of the sleeve to extend into the through hole; heating, melting and then cooling to harden the solder layer, so that the sleeve is fixedly held to the PCB; and removing the fixture.
Abstract:
The electronic-component-mounting board according to the present invention includes: a high-heat-dissipation substrate including a metal plate and a circuit pattern formed on a upper surface of the metal plate; an electronic component which is mounted on the high-heat-dissipation substrate and is electrically connected to the circuit pattern; and one external connection terminal which is disposed on the high-heat-dissipation substrate and provides electrical connection between the electronic-component-mounting board and an external device. The external-connection terminal is formed of a material having a thermal conductivity less than that of the metal plate and has at least one external electrode to which a lead wire is soldered. Therefore, the lead wire can be connected by soldering even on the high-heat-dissipation substrate. Accordingly, the reliability of the electrical connection is improved, and reduction in size and thickness of the electronic-component-mounting board can be achieved. In addition, the cost of the electronic-component-mounting board can be reduced.
