Abstract:
The present invention is a method and structure which produces extremely thin, electrically conductive epoxy bonds between two substrates. Copper microspheres, having an average diameter of about 2 microns are bound in an epoxy layer which bonds two substrates together. The microspheres make electrical contact between the substrates while providing intersphere gaps which are filled with the epoxy which actually bonds the substrates together.
Abstract:
A device is disclosed for mounting, interconnecting and terminating printed circuits. The invention comprises a frame of insulating material arranged to support, position and confine two printed circuit substrates. A connector molded on one end of the frame extends input/output signals to both substrates. A handle molded on a second end of the frame includes slots through which clips are inserted electrically interconnecting the two substrates. The clips also aid in retaining both substrates to the frame.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an edge connector (1) for a printed circuit board (50), comprising an at least two-part housing (10) with a first housing part (20) and a second housing part (30), wherein the first housing part (20) has a recess (25) in which at least one conductor (15) is arranged, said at least one conductor (15) having a first limb (16) with a first end (17) and a second limb (18) with a second end (19), wherein the housing (10) comprises a first region (12) in a first plane (11), in which each first end (17) protrudes out of the housing (10) in an assembly direction (5) in order to connect to a conductor track (54) of the printed circuit board (50), and the housing (10) has a second region (14) in a second plane (13) which is arranged parallel and at a distance to the first plane (11) in the assembly direction (5), wherein the second limb (18) is arranged at an angle of 90° to the first limb (16), and the second limb (18) protrudes into a mating plug recess (35) in the second housing part (30) in a plug-in direction (6). The present invention additionally relates to a printed circuit board assembly (2) with at least one such edge connector.
Abstract:
Multilayer structure, including a substrate film having a first and second opposite side, said substrate film including electrically insulating material, conductive traces on the first side of the substrate film for establishing a predetermined circuit design, a connector element laid upon the first side of, said substrate film, one side of the connector element facing the structure internals and the other, opposite side facing the environment on the second side of the substrate film including a number of electrically conductive contact members electrically connected to the circuit on the first side of the substrate film and configured to contact one or more electrical contact members of an external element responsive to mating the external element with the connector element, and a plastic layer molded onto the substrate film and the connector element so as to cover said one side of the connector element and the circuit.
Abstract:
An exemplary miniature support has upper and lower spaced-apart engagement surfaces each having at least a portion that are parallel to each other. Two supports each with an end supporting the upper engagement surface and another end supporting the lower engagement surface. The two supports have a spring-like property so that the upper and lower engagement surfaces can repeatedly move between an uncompressed state when not engaged to provide an interconnection and a compressed state when engaged between two opposing boards to provide an interconnection between the boards. The connector is preferably made using 3-D printing and may be integrally made as part of a board also made using the same 3-D printing. The support may have upper and lower engagement surfaces and at least one of the at least two supports that are conductive to establish connectivity between the upper and lower engagement surfaces.
Abstract:
A connector (100) and assembly of the same, the connector comprises an insulative housing (1) and a plurality of contacts (2) assembled onto the insulative housing (1), the insulative housing (1) defining a mating surface (11) and a mounting surface (12) opposite to the mating surface (11). Each contact (2) including a contact portion (21) arranged in the insulative housing (1) and a mounting portion (22) locating at the mounting surface (12) and protruding sidewardly beyond said insulative housing, the mounting portion (22) defines a soldering surface (222) for being soldered onto to said printed circuit board (200), said soldering surface (222) face toward the mounting surface (12). Therefore, when the connector (100) assembled to the printed circuit board (200), we could make full use of the height space at the up and down direction of the printed circuit board (200), thus greatly reducing the height space occupied by the connector (100).
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for creating a connection mechanism for a circuit board. The method includes securing a plurality of electrical conductors to a sleeve. Once the electrical conductors have been coupled to the sleeve, the sleeve and the plurality of conductors are coupled to, and molded with, the circuit board. At least one side of the circuit board, such as, for example, the molding over the plurality of electrical conductors, is subsequently reduced to expose at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of electrical conductors. An electrical connector is then coupled to the at least the portion of the one or more of the plurality of electrical conductors that was exposed when the first side of the printed circuit board was reduced.
Abstract:
A signal transmission system including: a first connector apparatus, and a second connector apparatus that is coupled with the first connector apparatus. The first connector apparatus and the second connector apparatus are coupled together to form an electromagnetic field coupling unit, and a transmission object signal is converted into a radio signal, which is then transmitted through the electromagnetic field coupling unit, between the first connector apparatus and the second connector apparatus.
Abstract:
Circuitry such as electrical components and wires and traces on flexible printed circuits can be embedded within injection-molded plastic structures. The electrical components can include integrated circuits, connectors, and system-in-package circuit modules. The system-in-package circuit modules may include components mounted on a substrate and covered with plastic. The connectors may include a connector for mating with a corresponding connector on an electronic device or a battery. The injection-molded plastic structures may form a housing. The housing may form part of an electronic device, an external case that receives an electronic device, or other structures. A near-field communications antenna may be embedded within a plastic housing. Signal wires and plastic fibers may be interlaced to form a mesh that is embedded in the plastic housing or other injection molded plastic structure.
