Abstract:
It is intended to provide a surface mount transformer which can be mounted without affecting the configuration of the wiring pattern of a printed wiring board. For that purpose, the transformer includes, a transformer body 10 configured by winding a winding on a ferrite core, and a seating 20 that has an insulating substrate 21 having a size necessary to place said transformer body thereon, a wiring pattern formed on at least one surface thereof, and connection terminals 22 for connecting the edges of the winding formed on the circumference of said insulating substrate.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a terminal structure of a multi-layer substrate and a method for forming the same. In the terminal structure, a plurality of terminals are formed on at least two adjacent substrate layers, each of the terminals being spaced from adjacent ones to a predetermined interval. Openings are formed in at least one of the substrate layers. Each of the openings is formed between each adjacent ones of first terminals in the at least one substrate layer, and spaced from the each first terminals to a predetermined gap, and has a size same as that of the first terminals. The substrate layers are stacked one atop another and compressed together so that second terminals formed on at least one corresponding substrate layer are projected to a plane of an outermost substrate layer on which corresponding terminals are formed. The terminal structure and the method can secure a predetermined interval to a plurality of terminals in a package when the terminals are formed as well as simplify formation thereof.
Abstract:
A fixed resistor network has an insulating substrate, a plurality of film resistors arranged on a top surface of the insulating substrate, terminal electrodes formed for the film resistors on each lengthwise sidewall of the insulating substrate at a given pitch along the sidewall, and recesses provided between the terminal electrodes. The occurrence of solder bridges between the terminal electrodes during solder mounting and the occurrence of chipping in the terminal-electrode-forming areas between the recesses on the lengthwise sidewall are both reduced by making the width of the recesses along the lengthwise sidewall either 0.44 to 0.48 times or 0.525 to 0.625 times the pitch.

A circuit substrate and a method of manufacturing a slot-shaped plated through slot thereon are provided. The circuit substrate has a linear slot. A slot-shaped plated through hole with a multiple transmission paths is formed in the linear slot so that a multiple of signals can be transmitted through the linear slot at one time. The circuit substrate and the method of manufacturing the slot-shaped plated through hole thereon can increase the level of integration of the circuit, decrease the average routing length of the circuit, boost the production efficiency and lower the production cost.

In one embodiment, the module mount includes (1) a substantially planar substrate having a plurality of apertures located to register with the plurality of rigid leads and (2) a plurality of power conductors, associated with the plurality of apertures, that electrically couple the plurality of rigid leads to an edge interface on the substrate, the edge interface adapted to be coupled to the circuit board.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a chip network electronic component prevents a short circuit between adjacent electrodes upon soldering, and the strength of the projecting portion is increased to improve reliability. The chip network electronic component includes an insulator substrate having recessed portions in opposite side surfaces to have a plurality of pairs of projecting portions. Electrodes are formed respectively at the projecting portions so as to extend from a main surface to a back surface of the substrate. Electrical elements are each formed on the main surface of the substrate to electrically connect between one pair of the electrodes. A coating layer covers a surface of the electrical elements. The recessed portion includes a pair of opposite flat planes and a flat-planed bottom connecting between the flat planes. The flat plane and the bottom has a connecting portion formed therebetween to have a curvature of 0.1 mm or greater.

A smart connector for an electrical device comprising: a circuit board including a flat surface for receiving at least one surface-mounted circuit component, a plurality of extending male blades formed in a first end of the circuit board, a plurality of female receptacles formed at a second end of the circuit board opposite the first end, wherein (i) an exterior of each of the extending male blades, (ii) an interior of each of the female receptacles and (iii) a select portion of the flat surface all include electrically conductive circuit traces; and a connector housing having a first end with a plurality of female terminal receptacles for terminating a wiring harness, a body portion for housing the circuit board and a second end, wherein the male blades are each received in a separate one of the plurality of female terminal receptacles and wherein the plurality of female receptacles are located at the second end of the housing for receiving a set of extending male terminals of an electrical device. The smart connector is capable of being sealed to the electrical device to provide protection of the circuit board from an environment outside the housing.
Abstract:
A flexible circuit construction includes a polymeric sheet, via holes in the sheet and metal circuitry disposed on the sheet. The circuitry terminates at a cantilever end partially spanning the via hole to which a solder ball is subsequently attached. The cantilever end allows the solder ball to move relative to the flexible circuit and thus compensate for misalignment and-differential thermal expansion effects.
