Abstract:
A surface mount electrical interconnect adapted to provide an interface between solder balls on a BGA device and a PCB. A socket substrate is provided with a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of openings sized and configured to receive the solder balls on the BGA device. A plurality of electrically conductive contact tabs are attached to the socket substrate so that contact tips on the contact tabs extend into the openings. The contact tips electrically couple with the BGA device when the solder balls are positioned in the openings. Vias electrically couple the contact tabs to contact pads located proximate the second surface of the socket substrate. Solder balls are bonded to the contact pads to electrically and mechanically couple the electrical interconnect to the PCB.

Abstract:
A speaker device includes a speaker and a connecting component. The speaker has a pair of input terminals spaced apart with a first predetermined distance therebetween. The connecting component electrically couples the speaker to a printed circuit board. The connecting component has a relay-use printed circuit board and a pair of lead wires. The relay-use printed circuit includes a pair of sub-board portions and a separation portion. The sub-board portions have a pair of terminal holes. The input terminals of the speaker are disposed through the terminal holes, respectively. The separation portion is disposed between the sub-board portions to couple the sub-board portions with a second predetermined distance between the terminal holes of the sub-board portions, and selectively separate the sub-board portions when the first predetermined distance between the input terminals of the speaker is different from the second predetermined distance between the terminal holes of the sub-board portions.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device assembly includes a substrate and a semiconductor die adjacent to a first surface of the substrate. The substrate also includes a second surface opposite from the first surface, an opening extending from the first surface and the second surface, contact pads on the second surface, and substrate pads on the second surface, adjacent to the opening. Bond pads of the semiconductor die are aligned with the opening through the substrate. Intermediate conductive elements, such as bond wires, extend from bond pads of the semiconductor die, through the opening, to substrate pads on the opposite, second surface of the substrate. An encapsulant, which fills the opening and covers the intermediate conductive elements, protrudes beyond a plane in which the second surface of the substrate is located. Discrete conductive elements, such as solder balls, may protrude from the contact pads of the substrate.
