Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a laminated substrate, the method includes: forming a first diameter hole to a first surface of a first substrate so as not to penetrate the first substrate; forming a second diameter hole to a second surface of the first substrate so as to communicate with the first diameter hole; plating the first substrate to block the second diameter hole without blocking the first diameter hole; and laminating a second substrate on the second surface of the first substrate.
Abstract:
A connecting system for electrically connecting electronic devices includes an electrically conductive first connector, an electrically conductive second connector and a clip element. The first connector is insertable in the second connector. The first connector or the second connector has a first opening into which the clip element can be inserted. In the inserted state, the clip element generates a contact pressure due to which the first connector and the second connector are pressed against one another so that an electrical contact between the first connector and the second connector is safeguarded.

Abstract:
An electrical contact assembly includes an electrically nonconductive base, a first electrical contact supported by the base and a second electrical contact supported by the base such that the first contact and the second contact are separated by a space. The first electrical contact is configured to engage a first external conductive circuit element and the a second electrical contact is configured to engage a second external conductive circuit element. The first contact and the second contact are configured such that a portion of the first contact and a portion of the second contact converge as the base moves in a first direction relative to the first and second external conductive circuit elements and diverge as the base moves in a second direction relative to the first and second external conductive circuit elements.

A surface mount component adapter, assembly and related method for attaching a surface mount component to a printed circuit board. The surface mount component adapter includes a substrate, a surface mount component holder on the substrate, and flexible leads each having a base end attached to the surface mount component holder and a free end configured to engage a plated through hole on a circuit board. The surface mount component holder is configured to engage electrical contacts of a surface mount component. The surface mount component assembly combines the surface mount adapter with the surface mount component. In the surface mount component method, the surface mount assembly is formed and the free ends of the flexible leads are attached to a corresponding number of the plated through holes on the circuit board.
Abstract:
A connection pin for mounting in a through-hole of a component carrier, comprising an anchoring part adapted for insertion into said through-hole with a non press fit, a contact part adapted to extend outside said through-hole, and a flange part adapted to abut against said component carrier and located between said anchoring part and said contact part. The anchoring part is provided an internal cavity and the anchoring part comprises a wall surrounding the internal cavity, which wall has at least two wall portions forming deformation zones and adapted to be located in the through-hole when the anchoring part is inserted in the through-hole, such that, upon exertion of a force on a free end of the anchoring part of the pin when the anchoring part is inserted in the through-hole, the deformation zones are deformed within the through-hole to press fit the connection pin in the through-hole.

An electronic sensor has a sensor housing in which a chip module having a module housing is mounted. The module housing has terminal pins that protrude laterally outward, each having a tapering at its free end. In addition, at least one metallic bearer strip is provided that is fashioned, in a first end area, as a plug contact, and that has in a second end area for at least one terminal pin a respective spring-clamp contact point that forms a flexible press-in zone for the corresponding terminal pin.
Abstract:
An electrical component mounting assembly is disclosed for attaching a cylindrical electrical component (C1) such as capacitor, diode, or resistor to a mounting member such as a printed circuit board in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The mounting assembly can have a housing (12) and a sleeve (14) placed around the electrical component which cooperates with the housing to retain the electrical component to the housing. A substantially inner cylindrical wall (32) of the housing can taper inward from an entrance (34) end to a rear wall (18) to form a tapering or narrowing chamber (30). The sleeve can have a slit that runs along the entire length of the sleeve and a tapered outer surface (28) that cooperates with the tapered chamber to clamp or compress against the electrical component as the sleeve is inserted into the housing. The lack of appreciable expansion of the housing creates a tight friction fit to secure the sleeve to the housing. The sleeve can also include a plank that is received in an opening in the housing which can be heat staked to reinforce the friction fit taper lock between the housing and sleeve. The housing can be dimensioned to mount more than one electrical component diameter size by varying the dimensions of the sleeve, and in particular the thickness of sleeve.
