Abstract:
A printed board includes a printed board body having a first side, a second side opposing the first side, and a through-hole; a printed conductor disposed on the first side of the printed board body; and a bus bar disposed on the second side of the printed board body, the bus bar including a terminal that extends through the through-hole. The terminal includes a plurality of branched terminal portions at a position corresponding to an interior of the through-hole, and at least one of the branched terminal portions is bent and attached to the printed conductor.
Abstract:
A method and product produced includes a power layer board that is manufactured by providing a printed circuit board having an input configured to receive an input power and an output configured to deliver an output power conditioned to power a motor. The method also includes soldering a first component to the printed circuit board. Thereafter, a request to manufacture the power layer board is received that includes parameters of the input power and/or the output power. Therefrom, characteristics of a second component including a resistor, a capacitor, and/or an inductor is identified based on the parameters of the input power and/or the output power. Accordingly, the identified second component is mounted to the printed circuit board through a solder-less cold-weld connector to complete the power layer board.
Abstract:
The terminal mounting structure includes a board (21). The structure includes a terminal (26) mounted on the board. The terminal includes a first end (26a) removably connected to a connection component (16, 17, 18). The terminal includes a second end (26b) soldered to the board in a raised position. The terminal includes a bent portion (26d) at intermediate of the terminal and at respective angles relative to respective first and second ends. The structure includes a retaining member (30, 40) facing the board with a space therebetween, and retaining the bent portion.
Abstract:
a method of making a printed circuit board including the steps of: providing a board with electrical conductor traces; applying a solder material to at least one selected location on a first side of the board; placing a first component on the first side of the board; heating the board and solder material to reflow the solder applied to the first side of the board to provide an electrical connection of the first component with a first conductor trace portion of the board; and then connecting a second component to the board and providing a nonsoldered electrical connection between the second component and a second electrical conductor trace portion of the board.
Abstract:
A package for a fiber optic transceiver that integrates the intermediate rear gasket into the lower body of the transceiver package. As such, the EMI fingers are much thicker than current art EMI fingers, 0.010″ thick as compared to current art 0.002″ thick. In current art devices, providing such robust EMI fingers is not possible. The connecting pins that secure the transceiver cage to the PCB are self-centering press-fit pins formed from a plurality of legs. At least one of the legs provides an electrical connection point for the transceiver on which the pins are used. The connecting pin is formed so that the legs act as leaf springs to securely hold the connector in place in the proper installation hole in the board on which the transceiver is installed. The pins are stamped from sheet metal with a progressive die process. By changing the amount of flexion in the legs of the pin, the pressure required to insert the pin into a connection hole, and hence the retaining pressure, can be varied.

Abstract:
A low impedance surface-mount connector includes a length of cylindrical rod having an I-shaped cross section. The device permits interconnection by pick-and-place techniques, and the interconnection has advantageous qualities of low resistance, low inductance, mechanical compliance and ease of manufacture. A first circuit device having one or more circuit components is interconnected with a second circuit device by surface mounting such connectors on the first circuit device, providing corresponding solder pads on the second circuit device, and mounting the connectors of the first circuit device onto the pads of the second.
Abstract:
A pair of circuit boards (60, 62) with holes (50, 56), are connected by right angle contacts (10) that are each formed of a single piece of metal with a 90null bend forming first and second elongated contact portions (20, 22) extending along perpendicular axes (24, 26). Each elongated portion has a resiliently compressible pin end (30, 32) for pushing into a circuit board hole, and has a distal end at the bend. A slot (70) at the bend extends into each distal end, with each end of the slot forming a push surface (80, 82) that lies on the corresponding axis. Each pin end of the connector can be installed by a tool projection that enters one end of a slot and pushes the corresponding pin end (20) along its axis. One of the elongated portions (22) can be longer than the other one (20), and an insulative body (64) is attached to the longer elongated portion.

Abstract:
An interposition structure interposed between substrates and capable of guiding the insertion of a connection pin for electrically connecting the substrates to each other, whereby the connection pin can be inserted properly even in cases where the substrates to be connected or other members have a dimensional error caused during production thereof, a positioning error or the like. The interposition structure has an interposition body in which a through hole is formed such that connection pin inlet and outlet portions thereof each have an inner diameter gradually increasing in a direction from the inner part to the corresponding outer open end thereof, and also has a positioning protuberance provided on the underside of the interposition body. The interposition structure is interposed between upper and lower substrates with the positioning protuberance received in a recess formed in the upper surface of the lower substrate, and the connection pin is inserted through a hole in the upper substrate, the through hole, and a hole in the lower substrate.
