Abstract:
A multilayer circuit board formed by integrally laminating a plurality of printed wiring boards in a multilayer structure so as to provide air gaps therebetween. An insulating layer is formed on each of both surfaces of a metal core substrate having through-hole forming apertures and a printed wiring layer is formed on the each insulating layer. Metal projections integrally formed on the metal core substrate serve as bonding electrodes between the adjacent wiring boards in the multilayer structure. The width of the air gap provided between the adjacent wiring boards is determined by the height of the metal projections.

The assembly has a metal sole plate forming a heat sink carrying a printed circuit card. The sole plate includes bearing surfaces which project slightly beyond the rest of the sole plate. The printed circuit is supported on these bearing surfaces and they include fixing means which interact with supplementary means of the printed circuit card to fix the printed circuit card onto the sole plate. A thermally conducting and electrically insulating material is interposed between the said card and the sole plate. The printed circuit card and the sole plate exert compression stress on the thermally conducting and electrically insulating material.

Abstract:
An electronic assembly includes a flex-rigid circuit board having a flexible polyimide layer disposed on the upper side of a rigid substrate, conductive circuit paths formed within the substrate and on the polyimide layer, and a base for dissipating heat generated by electrical components mounted on the circuit board. The flex-rigid circuit board has a cavity therein extending from a lower electrical insulation layer through the rigid substrate to the upper polyimide layer. A heat-generating electrical component is mounted on the upper layer over the cavity in the circuit board. The base has a boss that protrudes into the cavity and contacts the upper polyimide layer such that heat from the electrical component is conducted through the upper polyimide layer and into the base. Cool electrical components requiring no heat sinking are mounted on the lower insulation layer and/or the upper polyimide layer. Thus, the electronic assembly allows for two-sided attachment of electrical components to the flex-rigid circuit board while providing selective heat sinking for only the heat-generating components.
Abstract:
Electronic VHF/UHF power conversion circuitry is manufactured using the benefits of low temperature co-fired ceramic substrates to provide interconnection between the discrete components of the power conversion circuit, and integrate various non-semiconductor devices into the body of the low temperature co-fired ceramic structure, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors and transformers. Use of a low temperature co-fired ceramic structure as a substrate on and within which VHF/UHF power conversion circuitry is formed allows selection of various conductive and resistive inks to precisely form interconnection circuitry and selected non-semiconductor components which improves the stability and reduces the cost of VHF/UHF power conversion circuits.
