Abstract:
A through hole 2 in a circuit board 1 and to be joined to a lead 5 in a surface mounting component 6 is prepared from a material such as nickel, and palladium having a thermal conductivity equal to or less than 100 W/m.K, the circuit board 1 involving a alloy layer composed of at least a member selected from elements of solder 8, a pad 7, and the lead 5 in a solder joined site of the lead 5 and the pad 7, whereby a quantity of heat transmitted to the joined site via the through hole 2 is reduced at the time when wave-soldering is applied to the back of the circuit board 1 after the surface mounting component 6 was mounted, so that the joined site is maintained at a temperature equal to or less than a melting point of the alloy layer, and hence, exfoliation in an interface of the joined site is prevented, and reliability in the joint of the lead 5 and the pad 7 is elevated.
Abstract:
A fibre optic module has a PCB with high frequency tracks. The PCB is housed within a housing having top and bottom parts, each having a series of metallized ridges. The PBC has through holes filled with solder. Thus, there is a series of electrical interconnections through the PBC, and the total length of any enclosed periphery is much shorter than the full periphery of the board so that high frequencies are attenuated.

An electrical connection substrate includes a substrate main body in which an electrical connection through port is formed, and connection target members arranged on both sides of the substrate main body, respectively. The connection target members are electrically connected to each other through the electrical connection through port, and the electrical connection through port is filled with a fluidized conductive material. The fluidized conductive material thus filled can satisfactorily keep connection of the connection target members to each other through the electrical connection through port.

Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to simplify and improve the production method for circuit arrangements that are mounted on a support element (5), said element having thermal through-platings (7) which are at least partially scaled by a screen printing process. To this end, the screen printing process is carried out after the application of a first metallization layer (6) to the support element (5) which forms the base metallization layer, whereby the residue of the screen printing material (8) remaining on the underside (13) of the support element (5) is stripped once the screen printing material (8) has been cured, using at least a mechanical cleaning process and/or a chemical cleaning process.
Abstract:
A method of using coated and/or magnetic particles to deposit structures including solder joints, bumps, vias, bond rings, and the like. The particles may be coated with a solderable material. For solder joints, after reflow the solder material may comprise unmelted particles in a matrix, thereby increasing the strength of the joint and decreasing the pitch of an array of joints. The particle and coating may form a higher melting point alloy, permitting multiple subsequent reflow steps. The particles and/or the coating may be magnetic. External magnetic fields may be applied during deposition to precisely control the particle loading and deposition location. Elements with incompatible electropotentials may thereby be electrodeposited in a single step. Using such fields permits the fill of high aspect ratio structures such as vias without requiring complete seed metallization of the structure. Also, a catalyst consisting of a magnetic particle coated with a catalytic material, optionally including an intermediate layer.
