Abstract:
In a printed circuit board and its heat dissipating metal surface layout, a layer of copper foil is coated onto the printed circuit board for dissipating heat, and the surface of the copper foil is covered by an insulating coating, and a bare copper is formed on the surface of copper foil which is not covered by the insulating coating, and the bare copper is arranged in a cross shape, or in the shape of “#”, so that when the printed circuit board goes through a soldering furnace, the cohesion of solder is even instead of aggregating at a same position or the center, so as to obtain a larger protruding area and facilitate dissipating heat and transmitting current.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a printed circuit board comprising a contact terminal, which prevents a poor contact and reduces a manufacturing cost, and an image forming apparatus having the same. The printed circuit board comprises a circuit part for controlling and processing an operation of electronic appliance, and a large-area contact terminal formed by a group of small-area terminals for electric connection with external device. The small-area terminals can be formed in various types, respectively having regular size and shape and being distanced a predetermined interval. Accordingly, unevenness of the large-area contact terminal surface caused by soldering is prevented since a plurality of small-area terminals constitute a unit contact terminal of over a predetermined size. Therefore, quality of contact with external terminal improves. Further, manufacturing cost is reduced, and the manufacturing process becomes simple.

Abstract:
Inner layer traces on a multilayer printed wiring board are exposed to enable direct interconnection with another device such as a printed wiring board. The traces may be exposed by removing at least some of the dielectric substrate material around the traces, or by extending the traces beyond the other layers of the printed wiring board. Corresponding conductors associated with the other device are placed in direct physical contact with the exposed inner layer traces, and may be aligned and secured with guide plates, alignment pins and spring members. Such direct connection mitigates the need for vias, and has more favorable electrical characteristics for high frequency signal transmission.
Abstract:
An interconnect for testing semiconductor components includes a substrate, and contacts on the substrate for making temporary electrical connections with bumped contacts on the components. Each contact includes a recess and a pattern of leads cantilevered over the recess configured to electrically engage a bumped contact. The leads are adapted to move in a z-direction within the recess to accommodate variations in the height and planarity of the bumped contacts. In addition, the leads can include projections for penetrating the bumped contacts, a non-bonding outer layer for preventing bonding to the bumped contacts, and a curved shape which matches a topography of the bumped contacts. The leads can be formed by forming a patterned metal layer on the substrate, by attaching a polymer substrate with the leads thereon to the substrate, or be etching the substrate to form conductive beams.
Abstract:
An improved Land Grid Array interconnect structure is provided with the use of small metal bumps on the substrate electrical contact pad. The bumps interlock with segments of the fuzz button connection and increase the physical contact surface area between the contact pad and fuss button. The improved contact reduces displacement of electrical contact points due to thermo-mechanical stress and lowers the required actuation force during assembly.
Abstract:
A QFN package with improved joint solder thickness for improved second level attachment fatigue life. The copper leadframe of a QFN chip carrier is provided with rounded protrusions in both the chip attach pad region and the surrounding lead regions before second level attachment. The rounded stand-off protrusions are formed from the copper itself of the copper of the leadframe. This may be achieved by punching dimples into one surface of the copper plate of the leadframe before plating to form protrusions on the opposing surface. This method of forming the rounded protrusions simplifies the process of forming stand-offs. The protrusions provide a structure that increases wetting area and allows the use of a larger quantity of solder for increased solder joint thickness and better die paddle solder joint area coverage. As a result of the increased solder joint thickness, second level fatigue life is significantly improved. As a result of the improved die paddle solder joint area coverage, improved thermal performance of the chip carrier is also significantly improved.
