Abstract:
A circuit breaker includes a housing, a rigid circuit board, and a flexible circuit board. The rigid circuit board is enclosed within the housing and has a main surface for supporting an electronic component. The flexible circuit board has a first end that is directly attached to an edge of the rigid circuit board.
Abstract:
There is provided a copper clad laminate (CCL) including: a metal plate; an insulating layer having a planar area greater than that of the metal plate and laminated on the metal plate; and a copper layer laminated on the insulating layer, wherein edges of the insulating layer extend outwardly beyond edges of the metal plate so that an insulation distance insulating the edges of the metal plate from edges of the copper layer is formed. The insulating layer may include a polyimide layer, and a polyimide bonding layer.

Abstract:
A wiring substrate includes a substrate body including first and second surfaces on opposite sides and a substrate side surface; a penetration electrode penetrating through the substrate body; a first wiring pattern on the first surface and including a first pad; a second wiring pattern on the second surface and including a second pad; a first insulating resin layer covering the first wiring pattern except for an area corresponding to the first pad and having a first resin side surface; a second insulating resin layer covering the second wiring pattern except for an area corresponding to the second pad and having a second resin side surface that is flush with the first resin side surface; a notch part encompassing at least apart of the substrate body and having a resin material provided therein. The substrate side surface is located more inward than the first and second resin side surfaces.
Abstract:
A multi-piece substrate includes a unit component having four sides and including multiple wiring boards arrayed in a matrix, and a frame component supporting the unit component such that the frame component is surrounding an outer periphery of the unit component. Each of the wiring boards has a semiconductor element built therein, and the frame component has multiple slit portions formed such that the slit portions are formed along the four sides of the unit component, respectively.
Abstract:
A breakaway RFID tag is configured such that it includes part of a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCB). Thus, the breakaway RFID tag can be used to track the PCB as it migrates through a manufacturing process. In one embodiment, the RFID tag can be assembled first and then used to track the PCB as it is populated with components and installed into larger assemblies and ultimately into the end device. Once the PCB is installed into a larger assembly or the end device, the breakaway RFID tag is configured such that it can be broken off and attached to the outside of the larger assembly or end device.
Abstract:
In a system and method for detecting venting of a sealed storage cell, the sealed storage cell comprises a container with a sealing cap adapted to be detached from the container and move in the presence of gas overpressure inside the container to allow venting of the storage cell. The detection system comprises a printed circuit board with a central portion designed to be situated opposite the sealing cap, a peripheral portion surrounding the central portion and connected to the central portion by a hinge adapted to flex during movement of the sealing cap, and at least one frangible portion adapted to break upon movement of the sealing cap. An electrical printed track connects the peripheral portion to the central portion through the hinge and frangible portion(s), and is designed to be broken upon breaking of the frangible portion(s) following movement of the sealing cap.
Abstract:
A wiring board including a main substrate having a base material and a conductive pattern formed on the base material, and a flex-rigid printed wiring board provided to the main substrate and having a rigid substrate and a flexible substrate connected to each other. The flex-rigid printed wiring board has a conductive pattern formed on the rigid substrate and/or the flexible substrate. The conductive pattern of the main substrate is electrically connected to the conductive pattern of the flex-rigid printed wiring board.
Abstract:
A PCB according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of unit PCBs arrayed on the PCB, and a sawing line formed among the plurality of unit PCBs.
Abstract:
A method for the targeted introduction of cleavage lines or predetermined breaking lines in ceramic substrates for subsequent separation, wherein, in a thermal treatment step or methods step, the cleavage line or predetermined breaking line is heated locally and then cooled suddenly by a coolant in such a way that targeted cracking or material weakness occurs along the cleavage line or predetermined breaking lines.
