Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a connection system to a substrate is provided. The system includes a substrate having a mounting hole to permit an object to be coupled to the substrate. The substrate further includes a conductive pattern around the mounting hole on the substrate. The conductive pattern is designed to contact an interface, and selectively couple a ground signal to the object coupled to the substrate.
Abstract:
In a conductor foil for conductively connecting electrical and/or electronic components, the conductor foil including printed circuit traces, insulated to the outside and applied on a non-conductive, elastically malleable carrier foil. The conductive foil also includes soldering surfaces connected to the printed circuit traces, for soldering to electric terminals of components, in addition, the conductor foil includes feed line segments through which the printed circuit traces are led to the soldering surfaces, in order, in response to shaking stresses, to avoid damage to the soldering points by vibrations transmitted by the feed line segments. Furthermore, the conductor foil has stiffening segments branching off from the feed line segments, the stiffening segments, in response to shaking stresses, causing a force diversion of the vibrations onto the stiffening segments via the feed line segment movable end, which is not connected to the soldering surfaces.
Abstract:
A heat conductive substrate is mounted within a through-opening of a printed circuit board. An integrated circuit then is mounted to one side of the heat conductive substrate, while a heat sink is fixed in thermal contact to the other side of the substrate. There is no direct thermal contact between the IC and the PC board The heat conductive substrate is mounted to the PC board by applying a controlled pressure to normal surfaces of multiple portions of the substrate. Such pressure reducing the thickness and expands the area of the pressed portions locking the substrate to the PC board. An air gap occurs between the substrate and the PC board everywhere except for the pressed regions of the substrate. Such pressed regions occur along the periphery of the substrate.

Abstract:
An apparatus for modifying a printed circuit board comprised of a nonconductively adhering flexible circuitized substrate, the flexible circuitized substrate having a conductive circuit trace composed of one or more layers of thin wires sandwiched between two or more layers of flexible insulating protective material. The wires forming the circuit trace of the flexible substrate and the conductors forming the circuitry in and on the printed circuit board are electrically interconnected at appropriate predetermined positions by establishing conductive paths through portions of the insulating layers of the flexible circuitized substrate. Circuit components can also be affixed to either the flexible circuitized substrate or to the printed circuit board or to both after the flexible circuitized substrate has been affixed to the printed circuit board. By this means, additional or corrective electrical connections can be made to the printed circuit board at one time without the danger of routing errors or unwanted transmission effects of soldered wire interconnects. Additionally, circuit components of a differing bonding-pad configuration or pitch may be conveniently substituted for those originally designed to be used within the printed circuit board circuitry.
Abstract:
A heat conductive substrate is mounted within a through-opening of a printed circuit board. An integrated circuit then is mounted to one side of the heat conductive substrate, while a heat sink is fixed in thermal contact to the other side of the substrate. There is no direct thermal contact between the IC and the PC board. The substrate is mounted to an undersurface of the PC board and concentrically spaced from the PC board within the opening. An air gap occurs between the substrate and the PC board within the opening to substantially reduce heat conductivity into the PC board.
Abstract:
A mounting structure for mounting a printed circuit board on a frame of an electronic device. The mounting structure comprises a body, a lead, and a threaded portion. The threaded portion is formed on the body, and receives a screw. The printed circuit board is secured to a frame of an electronic device using the mounting structure. Specifically, the mounting structure is secured to the frame using the screw. The lead is soldered to lands on a mounting surface of the printed circuit board by a process for mounting electronic parts (e.g. an IC or LSI package) on the mounting surface of the electronic device.
Abstract:
A heat sink assembly includes a printed wiring board, a metal case and a circuit package containing a gallium arsenide field effect transistor heat dissipating circuit. The circuit package includes a metal slug formed integrally with the circuit package, the heat dissipating circuit being bonded to an obverse surface of the metal slug. The printed wiring board includes first and second metal lands, the first metal land being disposed on an obverse surface of the printed wiring board, the second metal land being disposed on a reverse surface of the printed wiring board. A solder film is formed bonded to and thermally coupling a reverse surface of the metal slug to the first metal land, and a plurality of solder posts are formed, each post bonding to and thermally coupling the first metal land to the second metal land. The metal case is pressed against the second metal land with a grease film of thermally conductive grease squeezed therebetween. At least one bolt extends through a hole in the printed wiring board and into the metal case so as to squeeze together the metal case, the printed wiring board, the first and second metal lands and the grease film.
Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board comprising conducting layers of a first material and conducting layers of a second material includes noncorrosive low resistance electrical contacts between conducting layers of the first and second material. The noncorrosive low resistance contacts allow the use of light weight conducting materials for particular layers of the circuit board to produce a light weight multilayer circuit board.
