Abstract:
An arrangement for cooling subassemblies of an automation or control system is disclosed, wherein the subassemblies each comprise at least one printed circuit board (LP) having electronic components of different temperature sensitivity arranged thereon. The printed circuit board (LP) has at least one first portion for temperature-sensitive components and at least one second portion for temperature-insensitive components that generate waste heat. Interspaces are arranged between the first portion and the second portion, the interspaces each forming a thermally insulated trench. Means can be provided which keep away the heat over the temperature-sensitive components in a suitable manner and dissipate the waste heat from the printed circuit board (LP) before the heat reaches the temperature-sensitive components.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an electronic component includes forming a resin layer over an underlying layer, pressing a conductor plate including a pattern formed on one major surface thereof against the resin layer, and embedding the pattern in the resin layer, and performing polishing, Chemical Mechanical Polishing, or cutting by the use of a diamond bit on another major surface of the conductor plate until the resin layer appears, and leaving the pattern in the resin layer as a conductor pattern.

A novel method to manufacture a flexible cable for a disk drive is disclosed. The method includes providing a flexible laminar sheet. The flexible laminar sheet has a dielectric substrate layer and an electrically conductive layer contacting a first side of the dielectric substrate layer. A portion of the electrically conductive layer is etched away to define a first plurality of electrically conductive traces and to expose an etched surface of the first side of the dielectric substrate layer. A second plurality of electrically conductive traces is deposited on the etched surface of the first side of the dielectric substrate layer.

An improved method for producing a PCB assembly requiring at least two different encapsulants is disclosed. The PCB assembly may have two or more separate regions in which electronic devices are attached. In each region, a unique encapsulant with different mechanical, electrical, physical and or chemical properties is used according to the particular requirements of the electronic devices in that region.
Abstract:
The electronic device includes a first interconnect layer and a second interconnect layer. The second interconnect layer is provided on the lower surface of the first interconnect layer. The first interconnect layer includes a via plug (first conductive plug). An end face of the via plug on the side of the second interconnect layer is smaller in area than the opposite end face. The via plug is exposed on the surface of the first interconnect layer facing the second interconnect layer. An insulating resin forming the first interconnect layer is higher in thermal decomposition temperature than an insulating resin forming the second interconnect layer.
Abstract:
A voltage measurement circuit is operative to measure a high voltage AC signal and includes a capacitive divider circuit and a compensator circuit. The capacitive divider circuit includes first and second inputs, across which, in use, is received a high voltage AC signal and also includes second and third capacitors. First and second plates of each of the first, second and third capacitors are defined by conductive layers of a printed circuit board and the dielectric of each of the first, second and third capacitors being defined by a non-conducting part of the printed circuit board. A compensator circuit has a configurable transfer function and includes an input connected across the first and second plates of the third capacitor and an output. The compensator circuit is operative to change a voltage received at its input in accordance with the transfer function and to provide the changed voltage at its output.

A multilayer wiring board 100 comprises a first wiring region 101 where wirings 103a and insulating layers 104a and 104b are alternately laminated, and a second wiring region 102 where a thickness H2 of an insulating layer 104 is twice or more a thickness H1 of the insulating layer in the first wiring region 101 and a width W2 of a wiring 103b is twice or more a width W1 of the wiring in the first wiring region 101. The first wiring region 101 and the second wiring region 102 are integrally formed on the same board.
Abstract:
A layout for simultaneously sub-accessible memory modules is disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory module includes a printed circuit board having a plurality of sectors, each sector being electrically isolated from the other sectors and having a multi-layer structure. At least one memory device is attached to each sector, the memory devices being organized into a plurality of memory ranks. A driver is attached to the printed circuit board and is operatively coupled to the memory ranks. The driver is adapted to be coupled to a memory interface of the computer system. Because the sectors are electrically-isolated from adjacent sectors, the memory ranks are either individually or simultaneously, or both individually and simultaneously accessible by the driver so that one or more memory devices on a particular sector may be accessed at one time. In an alternate embodiment, the printed circuit board includes a driver sector electrically isolated from the other sectors and having a multi-layer structure, the driver being attached to the driver sector.
Abstract:
In a circuit board, a control pattern portion in which control circuit patterns are formed and a drive pattern portion in which drive circuit patterns are formed are formed in different regions. A recessed portion is formed in a base, and the drive pattern portion is fixed to the base such that insulation between a drive circuit and the base is maintained and the control pattern portion is arranged above the recessed portion. In this way, a space in which a circuit element is able to be mounted is formed between the control pattern portion and the recessed portion.
Abstract:
The electrical junction box is provided with a metal core substrate including: a rectangular-shaped core metal layer in which two core metal plates are arranged with a slit-shaped gap therebetween; and insulating layers filling the gap and integrating the two core metal plates by covering surfaces of the core metal plates. Electric power from a battery is inputted into the core metal plate, and electric power from an alternator is inputted into the core metal plate. The gap includes: a first straight portion vertically extended straight from one side of the core metal layer; a second straight portion vertically extended straight from another side of the core metal layer, parallel to a virtual extended line of the first straight portion, and not arranged in the same line as the first straight portion; and a square-U-shaped portion.
