Abstract:
A resistor of SMD (Surface Mounted Device) construction includes a film of a resistive alloy as a resistive track on two electrically separated carrier plate elements of copper, which are constructed as contact elements solderable to the terminals of a printed circuit board to thereby ensure good heat dissipation into a printed circuit board. In order to manufacture such resistors, a resistive film sufficient for a plurality of individual resistors is adhered to but electrically isolated from a large copper plate and the laminate formed thereby is split into the individual resistors after producing the individual resistive tracks and their electrical connections to the copper plate and after producing gaps between the plate elements for each track.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit board including a terminal includes a flexible printed circuit board that includes an electrically conductive line and the terminal soldered to the flexible printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board includes a land and a soldering restricting section. The land is electrically connected to the electrically conductive line and has a metal surface and is soldered to the terminal. The soldering restricting section has a non-metal surface and is not soldered to the terminal. The terminal includes an overlapping section and a protrusion section. The overlapping section overlaps the land and is soldered to the land and includes a removed section that is formed in such a manner that a portion is partially removed in a predefined area. The protruding section is continuous from the overlapping section and protrudes to an area that does not overlap the flexible printed circuit board.

A high-frequency signal transmission line includes an element, a linear signal line provided at the element and including a first end and a second end, and at least one ground conductor provided at the element and extending along the signal line. The element includes stacked insulating layers. The ground conductor is positioned opposite to the signal line with the insulating layer positioned therebetween. The ground conductor is a contiguous conductor. The signal line, the ground conductor, and the element generate a characteristic impedance. The signal line includes a first section and a second section. The first section is an uninterrupted section generating a characteristic impedance greater than or equal to a first characteristic impedance at the first end and including the first end. The second section generates a characteristic impedance less than the first characteristic impedance and is adjacent to the first section. The second section is longer than the first section. The signal line is wider in the second section than in the first section.
