Abstract:
A probe core includes a frame, a wire guide connected to the frame, a probe tile, and a plurality of probe wires supported by the wire guide and probe tile. Each probe wire includes an end configured to probe a device, such as a semiconductor wafer. Each probe wire includes a signal transmitting portion and a guard portion. The probe core further includes a lock mechanism supported by the frame. The lock mechanism is configured to allow the probe core to be connected and disconnected to another test equipment or component, such as a circuit board. As one example, the probe core is configured to connect and disconnect from the test equipment or component in a rotatable lock and unlock operation or twist lock/unlock operation, where the frame is rotated relative to remainder of the core to lock/unlock the probe core.
Abstract:
Components may be mounted to printed circuit substrates using solder. A breakaway support tab may be detachably connected to a component and may help prevent the component from shifting or toppling over during reflow operations. The component and breakaway support tab may be formed from sheet metal. The interface that links the component to the breakaway support tab may be perforated or half sheared to allow the breakaway support tab to be easily separated from the component following reflow operations. The breakaway support tab may be fixed in place during reflow operations by mechanically coupling the breakaway support tab to a fixture or by mounting the breakaway support tab to an unused portion of a panel of printed circuit substrates. A breakaway support tab may be mechanically coupled between two components on a printed circuit substrate and may be used to maintain a distance between the components during reflow operations.

Abstract:
Provided are an opto-electric hybrid board and a manufacturing method. The opto-electric hybrid board includes an optical waveguide unit and an electric circuit unit having an optical element mounted thereon. The optical waveguide unit includes socket portions for locating the electric circuit unit, which are formed on a surface of an undercladding layer and formed of the same material as a core. The socket portions are located at predetermined locations with respect to one end surface of a core. The electric circuit unit includes bent portions which are formed by bending a part of an electric circuit board so as to stand, for fitting into the socket portions. The bent portions are located at predetermined locations with respect to the optical element. The optical waveguide unit and the electric circuit unit are coupled in a state in which the bent portions fit into the socket portions.

The circuit board includes a main body, at least one handle, and at least one connecting element. The main body defines at least one through hole. One end of each of the at least one handle defines a positioning portion. The positioning portion of each of the at least one handle extends through a corresponding one of the at least one through hole and is engaged with one of the at least one connecting elements.
Abstract:
Electronic devices are provided with ejectable component assemblies. Each ejectable component assembly may include a tray that can be loaded with one or more types of removable module, such as a mini-SIM card and a micro-SIM card, and inserted into the device. Each assembly may also include a cover coupled to a circuit board. The tray may be inserted through an opening in the electronic device and into a space between the cover and the circuit board. A portion of the space is contained within the pocket. A portion of the tray may be contained within the pocket when the tray is inserted into the device for holding the module at a functional insertion position within the device.

An electric circuit apparatus includes: a first-circuit board that includes a first-through-hole, and a first-electrode disposed on a front side of the first-circuit-board; a second-circuit-board that is disposed on a back side of the first-circuit-board, the second-circuit-board including on the front side of the second-circuit-board a second-electrode associated with the first-through-hole; a semiconductor device that is disposed on the front side of the first-circuit-board, the semiconductor device including on a back side a third-electrode-associated with the first-electrode, and a fourth-electrode-associated with the second-electrode; a first-bonding-material that bonds the first-electrode and the-third-electrode; a second-bonding-material that bonds the second-electrode and the fourth-electrode while passing through the first-through-hole; and a support body that is disposed between the first-electrode and the second-circuit-board and that supports the first-circuit-board.
Abstract:
A differential mode signal transmission module includes a first section having an external connection end on which at least a pair of differential mode signal transmission terminals are formed and includes a grounding terminal, a first differential mode signal terminal, and a second differential mode signal terminal. The extension connection end of the first section forms a counterpart signal terminals corresponding to those of the external connection end. At least one first conductive connection line is formed on the first section. The conductive connection line connects the grounding terminal of the external connection end of the first section to a collective grounding point. The extension connection end of the first section is connected to an extension section. The extension section is further connected to a second section opposite to the first section. The extension section includes at least one slit line in order to form a bundled section. The first section, the second section, and the extension section include at least one fold line.
Abstract:
A process relating to a one step low pressure injection molding method of encapsulating high voltage circuitry while incorporating a unique recessed high voltage connector contact means within the injection molding material, greatly reducing the component size, while increasing the capabilities of this type of circuitry. The process reduces the manufacturing time and maintains a clean sealed contact point for repeated usage by the means of a conductive rubber slug. An additional advantage is by creating cavities through the circuit board; axially leaded high voltage components may be conveniently mounted without additional assembly components while being fully encapsulated.
