Abstract:
The present invention discloses a ceramic insulator for electronic packaging and a method for fabricating the same, and relates to a technical field of outer shell packaging of electronic devices. Under the circumstance of using neither a chemical coating nor any bonding wire connection circuit, through a design that builds a electroplated circuit into the ceramic insulator, the method accomplishes coating of a nickel alloy protection layer onto a porcelain by an electroplating method, so that not only quality of a coating layer but also requirement of a complete appearance can be ensured. All circuits of the ceramic insulator fabricated by the aforesaid method can conduct with external circuits, such that the electroplating method can be used to accomplish coating of the nickel alloy layer, after accomplishment of all metal coating, metallization parts on an end surface of the porcelain is removed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a printed substrate having a novel structure in which substrate terminals can be fixed to the printed substrate without needing a base, and the substrate terminals can be press-fitted into through-holes without applying pressing force to printed wiring and a plating layer in the through-holes, and also provides a printed substrate with terminals that uses this printed substrate. A printed substrate includes through-holes into which the first end portions of substrate terminals are to be inserted. The through-holes each include press-fitting regions into which the first end portion of a substrate terminal is to be press-fitted, and conduction regions arranged so as to oppose the outer circumferential surfaces of the first end portion of the substrate terminal via gaps in directions perpendicular to the axis. Printed wiring is connected to the conduction regions, and a plating layer is adhered to the conduction regions.

A soldering fastening element, a structure thereof and a method for soldering the soldering fastening element to a circuit board are introduced. The soldering fastening element is soldered to a first circuit board so as for a second board to be coupled thereto. The soldering fastening element includes a body soldered to the first circuit board, a head for fastening the second board in place, and a neck which connects the body and the head.

Abstract:
A method of encapsulating a panel of electronic components such as power converters reduces wasted printed circuit board area. The panel, which may include a plurality of components, may be cut into one or more individual pieces after encapsulation. The mold may be used to form part of the finished product. Interconnection features provided along boundaries of individual circuits are exposed during the singulation process providing electrical connections to the components without wasting valuable PCB surface area. The molds may include various internal features. Wide cuts may be made in the molds after encapsulation reducing thermal stresses. Blank mold panels may be machined to provide some or all of the above features in an on-demand manufacturing system. Connection adapters may be provided to use the modules in vertical or horizontal mounting positions in connector, through-hole, surface-mount solder variations.
