Abstract:
Hybrid circuits are usually secured with contact pins (combs) on printed circuit boards by undergoing a flow solder bath. Further, surface-mountable components are soldered on the printed circuit board in a furnace. Two soldering processes are necessary for this purpose. The method of the invention avoids one of the soldering processes by applying through-contacted bores on the carrier substrate of the hybrid circuit. These through-contacted bores are put in place onto solder surfaces of the printed circuit board having a paste solder and the overall arrangement is soldered in a furnace.
Abstract:
A flexible circuit member including a circuitized substrate of a dielectric material having a plurality of apertures therein. Located within and/or bridging selected ones of the apertures are electrical conductors, the conductors having a solder member secured thereto. A frame is also used, the circuitized substrate being secured thereto.
Abstract:
A method for producing aligned passages through substrate materials, in which the projection of the inlet and outlet openings does not coincide, uses displaced application of etching windows on opposite sides and corresponding pronounced under-etching of these windows. By applying displaced etching windows on both sides of the substrate and through-etching the substrate through these windows, `oblique` passages are obtained through the substrate. By a suitable location of the windows it is also possible to produce branched passages with more than one outlet opening.
Abstract:
A surface mountable connector to be mounted on a printed substrate has a plurality of connector pins projecting from the rear surface to be connected with wiring patterns on the printed substrate through a connector pin holder. The connector pin holder has a plurality of through holes at a pitch equal to that of the connector pins and a plurality of conductive patterns on the outside thereof corresponding to the through holes. The connector pins are inserted into the through holes in the connector holder and electrically connected to the conductive patterns corresponding to the through holes respectively, and the connector pin holder is placed on the wiring patterns on the printed substrate with the conductive patterns on the outer surface connected to the wiring patterns on the surface of the printed substrate by soldering, thereby electrically connecting the tip of each connector pin to a corresponding wiring pattern on the surface of the printed substrate.
Abstract:
A high value surface mounted capacitor assembled from a ganged assembly of multilayer ceramic capacitors adapted to fit within a package which may be either surface mounted or pin mounted, said package being shaped for handling by automatic insertion equipment.
Abstract:
An improved printed circuit board for use in electrical and electronic appliances includes an electronic part for a jumper having crossover wiring and disposed on an electrically insulative substrate or base plate for the printed circuit board provided with a cross pattern of conductors in which sets of separated or cut-off conductive layers are arranged to confront each other on X-Y cross coordinates for connecting the cross pattern portions on the substrate to each other by the jumper electronic part.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for printing a printed circuit board (PCB) from substrate to full integration utilize a laser-assisted deposition (LAD) system to print a flowable material on top of a substrate by laser jetting to create a PCB structure to be used as an electronic device. One such system for PCB printing includes a jet printing unit, an imaging unit, curing units, and a drilling unit to print metals and other materials (epoxies, solder masks, etc.) directly on a PCB substrate such as a glass-reinforced epoxy laminate material (e.g., FR4) or others. The jet printing unit can also be used for sintering and/or ablation of materials. Printed materials are cured by heating or by infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation. PCBs produced according to the present systems and methods may be single-sided or double-sided.

Abstract:
A circuit board includes: a substrate; a through hole formed in the substrate; and a connection terminal provided in the through hole; wherein the connection terminal includes a pedestal portion provided within the through hole and a pin which is provided at a center of the pedestal portion and extends from the pedestal portion toward a first surface of the substrate, so that a first end portion protrudes from the first surface.
Abstract:
A multi-chip stack module provides increased circuit density for a given surface chip footprint. Support structures are alternated with standard surface mount type chips to form a stack wherein the support structures electrically interconnect the chips. One aspect is a structure and method for interconnecting a plurality of generally planar chips in a vertical stack such that signals, which are common to the chips, are connected in the stack and signals, which are accessed individually, are separated within the stack.
