Abstract:
In one aspect, a surface mount contact is provided for attachment to a circuit board or the like. The contact includes an elongated electrically conductive pin that has a first end and an opposing second end. A pre-formed heat re-flowable material is attached to one end of the pin and a conductive locator member surrounds the pin at a location between the first and second ends thereof and adjacent the conductive locator member. In one embodiment, the locator member is in the form of a cylindrical collar that extends around the pin.

Abstract:
A vehicular lamp including a luminescent element module made of a flexible parallel wiring body, which is made of a plurality of flexible wiring conductors that are disposed parallel to each other and sheathed by soft plastic, and a plurality of light-emitting diodes, which are mounted on the flexible parallel wiring body, so that the luminescent element module has a conductive path formed by notching a part of the wiring conductors of the flexible parallel wiring body and/or by connecting a plurality of the wiring conductors together, and the luminescent element module is provided on the lamp body so that the light-emitting diode faces in the direction of radiation of the vehicular lamp.
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements for reducing partial discharges on a printed circuit board are provided. A method of reducing partial discharge in a printed circuit board includes providing a conducting surface coupled to a component under at least one of electrical and thermal stress, wherein the conducting surface is a metallic plate.

Abstract:
A circuit device and a method for providing an interface between a circuit device comprised of a porcelain enameled metal substrate and an external electrical conductor such as a wire or a lead. An aperture is formed in the substrate at the location where the connection is desired. An eyelet is then placed in the aperture. Crimping or other means are used to form a mechanical connection to the substrate and causes the eyelet to be retained in the aperture. The wire or lead of an electronic component is then inserted into the eyelet. The wire or lead is then soldered to the eyelet providing a joint of high mechanical strength.
