Abstract:
A circuit board arrangement includes a first printed circuit board having a first edge connector and a second printed circuit board having a second edge connector. The first edge connector includes a plurality of fingers, with each finger having at least one first conductor pad. The second edge connector includes a plurality of openings positioned generally in line with each other and a plurality of second conductor pads. Each opening has a corresponding finger positioned therein. Each second conductor pad is positioned adjacent a corresponding opening and corresponding first conductor pad.
Abstract:
A robust LED lamp may be assembly by forming a heat sinking sandwich with two metal heat sinks positioned around the circuit board and pinned together a heat conductive element. The assembly is positioned by pressing it into a base providing electrical connections. The robust assembly is rapidly assembled, thermally effective in draining or spreading heat from the circuit board and is readily adaptable to a variety of applications lighting. The heat sink may be decorated, colored or otherwise esthetically enhanced for consumer appreciation.
Abstract:
A rigid holder is provided for supporting a flexible article. The rigid holder may include a first frame member and a second frame member which are held together through magnets.
Abstract:
A resist having a predetermined thickness is formed on a printed circuit board except for portions of the printed circuit board that oppose a convex portion of a component when the component is mounted on the printed circuit board. A silk screen printed layer having a predetermined thickness is formed on the resist. Thereafter, a concave portion of the component is bonded to the silk screen printed layer using double coated tape having a predetermined thickness. The component is mounted such that the convex portions of the component oppose the portions of the printed circuit board that do not have a resist formed thereon. The sum of the thicknesses of the resist, the silk screen printed layer and the double coated tape is larger than a height difference between the concave portion and the convex portion of the component.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a multi-piece board having a frame section and a multiple piece sections connected to the frame section includes forming a frame section from a manufacturing panel for the frame section, sorting out multiple acceptable piece sections by inspecting quality of piece sections, forming notch portions in the frame section and the acceptable piece sections such that the notch portions allow the acceptable piece sections to be arranged with respect to the frame section, provisionally fixing the piece sections and the frame section in respective positions, injecting an adhesive agent into cavities formed by the notch portions when the frame section and the piece sections are provisionally fixed to each other, and joining the acceptable piece sections with the frame section by curing the adhesive agent injected into the cavities.
Abstract:
There is provided a method of manufacturing a concave connector substrate that has high connection accuracy, a low manufacturing cost, and high flexibility in design, can ensure stable repeated use, and significantly improve use convenience.A method of manufacturing a concave connector substrate includes: a step of preparing a guide substrate having a guide/holding region that guides a plate-shaped connector to a connection position and holds the plate-shaped connector at the connection position and a cut portion for removing a section having a shape corresponding to the guide/holding region on at least one side; a step of arranging and aligning two wiring substrates, each having wiring lines and through hole connection portions that are electrically connected to the wiring lines, with both surfaces of the guide substrate, and applying an adhesive to a predetermined region of the guide substrate to bond the wiring substrates to the guide substrate; a step of bending a portion of the wiring substrate toward the inside of the cut portion of the guide substrate and bringing the wiring lines disposed in the bent portion into pressure contact with the inside of the cut portion; and a step of removing a section inside the cut portion to form the guide/holding region.
Abstract:
A flexible wiring board 1 includes an insulating member 12 having a conductor 11 formed therein, a reinforcing board 13 for reinforcing the insulating member 12 in the vicinity of the connection terminal 11a of the flexible wiring board 1, and a lock member 14 to be locked to a board 3 having a connector 2, with the board 3 having an opening 31 for receiving the lock member 14 fit therein in a state where the connection terminal 11a is connected and secured to the connector 2.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a multi-piece board includes: adhering a first frame element connected to multiple piece portions to a second frame element, the first frame element forming a board main portion of a multi-piece board, the first frame element and the second frame element forming a frame portion of the multi-piece portion, thereby yielding the multi-piece board; mounting multiple electronic components on the piece portions, respectively; separating the piece portions from the frame portion; separating, from the first frame element, the second frame element adhered thereto; and adhering the second frame element to a first frame element of another board main portion.
Abstract:
A fabrication method for a multi-piece board having a frame part and multi piece parts each having a printed wiring board includes producing the frame part having a first coupling portion, and the multi-piece parts including piece parts each having a second coupling portion coupled to the first coupling portion at a production panel with at least the frame part and the piece parts being separated from each other, separating the frame part and the multi-piece parts from the production panel, and coupling the first coupling portion to the second coupling portion to couple the frame part and the piece parts and combine the frame part and the multi piece parts so as to yield the multi-piece board.
