Abstract:
A circuit board, associated assembly, and method of manufacture. The circuit board comprises an elongated groove, extending into the circuit board, for accommodating a footing of a large component such as an RF shield. The groove allows solder paste to be deposited therein via a stencil, to a depth greater than the stencil thickness. Thus the same stencil can be used for depositing solder paste for both small and large components.
Abstract:
High-speed interposer connectors that may be space-efficient, reliable, and may be readily manufactured. One example may provide an interposer connector that may be particularly space-efficient in a vertical direction by using an interposer to form an electrical connection between conductors and a main-logic board or other appropriate substrate. Another example may provide a reliable connection between conductors and a main-logic board by using fasteners to fix an interposer to the main-logic board. Another example may provide connectors that are well-suited to handling high-speed signals by providing a shield to at least partially cover a top of an interposer connector.
Abstract:
An electronic component module includes a board having an electronic component mounted on a surface of the board and a shield case mounted on the surface of the board and covering the electronic component. The board includes a projecting part projecting from the surface of the board. The projecting part is formed of plating at a position along a sidewall of the shield case and is soldered to the shield case.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device package having reduced form factor and a method for forming said semiconductor device are disclosed. In an embodiment, an active die is embedded within a cavity in the core layer of the package substrate, wherein an in-situ electromagnetic shield is formed on the sidewalls of the cavity. In another embodiment, a crystal oscillator is at least partially embedded within the core layer of the package substrate. In another embodiment, a package having a component embedded in the core layer is mounted on a PCB, and a crystal oscillator generating a clock frequency for the package is mounted on the PCB. By embedding components within the core or removing components from the package to be mounted directly on the PCB, the x, y, and z dimensions of a package may be reduced. In addition, in-situ electromagnetic shield may reduce EM noise emitted from the active die.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a circuit board having an internal ground plane that defines at least a portion of an internal layer of the circuit board. The circuit board has an exterior side that includes a mounting region and includes electrical contacts arranged on the exterior side within the mounting region for making electrical connection with corresponding signal conductors of electrical wires. Ground shields are mounted to the mounting region of the circuit board and include electrically conductive bodies that are configured to extend over corresponding electrical wires along the mounting region of the circuit board. The bodies of the ground shields include side segments that are configured to extend between the signal conductors of adjacent electrical wires along the mounting region of the circuit board. The bodies are engaged with the internal ground plane of the circuit board to electrically connect the ground shields to the internal ground plane.

First and second slots each include a first portion that extends through the body and a second portion that extends through the peripheral wall. A barbed tab is disposed between the first and second slots. A notch extends through a portion of the barbed tab. A distinct abutting member is disposed on the peripheral wall.
Abstract:
MEMS microphone packages and fabrication methods thereof are disclosed. One method for fabricating a MEMS microphone package, includes providing a substrate, forming a cavity enclosed by a top cover part, wherein a housing wall part surrounds and supports the top cover part, and the substrate supports the housing wall part and the cover part, forming a MEMS sensing element and an IC chip inside the cavity, forming an opening comprising an acoustic passage connecting the cavity to an ambient space, and forming a conductive casing enclosing the top cover part and the housing wall, wherein the conductive casing is soldered to a PCB board and is electrically connected to a common analog ground lead on the PCB board.
Abstract:
An electronic device may include subassemblies such as battery structures, electromagnetic shielding structures, and button structures. The electromagnetic shielding structures may include a conductive fence and a flexible shielding layer that covers electronic components. The electromagnetic shielding structure may be formed with a recess that receives a protruding portion of a battery. The recess may be formed from a multi-level shielding structure that includes rigid and flexible portions. The button structures may be mounted to a ledge that is formed as an integral part of a device housing. An electronic device battery may be enclosed in a protective battery sleeve. The battery sleeve may include a center portion that encloses the battery and peripheral portions that are folded and coupled to the center portion by adhesive material interposed between opposing surfaces of the folded peripheral portions and the center portion of the battery sleeve.
