Abstract:
A connection made between components at a safe temperature for each of the components. A slot made may be provided on one component and a tab provided on the other component. The slot may be filled with an electrically conductive material. The tab may be inserted in the slot before significant curing of the material and kept in the slot throughout the curing period of the material. The curing may be effected at a temperature harmless to the components. For example, the temperature may be room temperature. One example of a temperature-sensitive component may be a thin battery.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments relate to the formation of an electrical contact using a skiving technique. The electrical contact includes a spring structure that has been skived away from an underlying metal body, but the spring remains coupled with the metal body which provides a base for the spring structure. The skived spring portion of the electrical contact may comprise a cantilever-like spring, a coil-like spring, or any other suitable type of spring. Such a spring contact may be used to form an electrical connection between an integrated circuit device and a circuit board (or other substrate). Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a circuit board having integrated contacts to mate with corresponding pads of a semiconductor device. At least some of the integrated contacts are of varying sizes to enable different contact resistances between the corresponding integrated contacts and pads, enabling reduced loading forces to adapt the semiconductor device to the circuit board. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
An interconnect joint comprises a substrate (110), a solder resist layer (120) over the substrate, a solder resist opening (130) (having a top surface (131)) in the solder resist layer, a solder material (140) in the solder resist opening, and an electrically conducting structure (150) having a portion that extends into the solder material below the top of the solder resist opening.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to conductive connector attachments for use in electrically connecting printed circuit boards to absorbent products such as diapers, training pants, incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, and the like. Specifically, various configurations and methods of securely attaching conventional conductive hook and loop attachments to printed circuit boards are disclosed.
Abstract:
An interconnection apparatus and a method of forming an interconnection apparatus. Contact structures are attached to or formed on a first substrate. The first substrate is attached to a second substrate, which is larger than the first substrate. Multiple such first substrates may be attached to the second substrate in order to create an array of contact structures. Each contact structure may be elongate and resilient and may comprise a core that is over coated with a material that imparts desired structural properties to the contact structure.
Abstract:
A stacked electronic component includes multiple energy storage units and a fastening device. Each energy storage unit has a first electrode and a second electrode. The fastening device includes first and second fastening member disposed on opposite sides of the energy storage units. Each of the first and second fastening members includes a body plate, at least a clamping structure extending from two edges of the body plate and at least a connecting part electrically connected to the body plate and the circuit board. The energy storage units are clamped by the clamping structures of the first and second fastening members and the first and second electrodes are electrically connected to the body plates of the first and second fastening members, so that the first and second electrodes are electrically connected to the circuit board through the body plates and the connecting parts of the first and second fastening members.
Abstract:
A surface mounting lug terminal formed of a metallic plate having terminal leads and positioning projections can readily be positioned on a printed board with high precision by fitting the positioning projections into positioning cutouts formed in the printed board. The terminal leads of the surface mounting lug terminal can easily be soldered to land patterns on the printed board to secure the surface mounting lug terminal onto the printed board irrespective of the number of terminal leads. The surface mounting lug terminal can be reduced in size, thus to contribute miniaturization of electronic circuits.
Abstract:
A PCB assembly includes a motherboard, a daughter board, and an elastic strip. The motherboard is electrically connected to the daughter board via connectors. Each of the motherboard and the daughter board includes an area connected to a power layer or a ground layer. One end of the elastic strip electrically connects to the area of the motherboard. The other end of the elastic strip electrically connects to the area of the daughter board whereby increases electrically connection between the motherboard and the daughter board.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a hollow conductive post member having a circular periphery, a foot portion and a distal end. The distal end has a generally cup shaped indentation. A base member is included having top and bottom surfaces. The foot portion of the post member is mounted to the top surface. At least one standoff extends from the bottom surface of the base member. The at least one standoff is for resting against a contact surface when soldering the electrical connector to the contact surface, thereby separating the bottom surface from the contact surface to define a minimum volume therebetween for occupation by solder.
