Abstract:
A device having a semiconductor component and a printed circuit board are described. The semiconductor component has external contacts and the printed circuit board has contact terminals. The contact terminals display a central blind opening, into which the external contacts of the semiconductor component protrude and are in a force-locking engagement with the contact terminal areas. In the method of electromechanically connecting the two parts to form a device, after they have been aligned, the two components are merely pressed onto each other.
Abstract:
A technique for making acicular, branched, conductive dendrites, and a technique for using the dendrites to form a conductive compressible pad-on-pad connector are provided. To form the dendrites, a substrate is provided on which dendrites are grown, preferably on a metal film. The dendrites are then removed from the substrate, preferably by etching metal from the substrate. The so formed dendrites are incorporated into a compressible dielectric material, which then forms a compressible pad-on-pad connector between two conducting elements, such as connector pads on electrical devices, e.g. an I/C chip mounted on a substrate, such as a chip carrier.
Abstract:
A method of making an electrical contact comprised of at least one, and preferably several, conical projections, is provided. The individual conical projections are comprised of an ablative material, and at least some of the conical projections include a surface which is substantially comprised of material in a thickness capable of making ohmic contact, either by wiping with an intermeshing like structure or by contacting a substantially flat contact pad. An interconnection, in this invention, is the combination of at least one contact having individual conical projections and another contact, optionally having individual conical projections. The conical projections are formed by laser. The conical projections are optionally formed on the head of a contact pin.
Abstract:
An electrical connector having a detachable interface and a permanent interface is supported by connecting the permanent interface to a circuit-board. A first loom end (303) and a second loom end (305) are connected to the circuit board and an over-moulding (404) is applied to cover the permanent interface, the first loom end and the second loom end. The detachable interface is located through an orifice in an item of clothing (410) and the over-moulding is secured to an internal surface of an item of clothing by a first side flange (404) and a second side flange (405).
Abstract:
A light emitting module includes a circuit board having a plurality of reflective portions arranged in one direction and connection portions connecting the plurality of reflective portions, light emitting devices mounted on the plurality of reflective portions, and lens units disposed to cover the light emitting devices within boundaries of surfaces, of the plurality of reflective portions, on which the light emitting devices are mounted. A width of each of the connection portions in the other direction, perpendicular to the one direction thereof, is smaller than a diameter of each of the lens units, thus reducing a generation of a dark portion.
Abstract:
A method of making an array of integral terminals on a circuit assembly. The method includes the steps of depositing at least a first liquid dielectric layer on the first surface of a first circuit member, imaged to include a plurality of first recesses corresponding to the array of integral terminals. The selected surfaces of the first recesses are processed to accept electro-less conductive plating deposition. Electro-lessly plating is applied to the selected surfaces of the first recesses to create a plurality of first conductive structures electrically coupled to, and extending generally perpendicular to, the first circuitry layer. Electro-plating is applied to the electro-less plating to substantially first recesses with a conductive material. The steps of depositing, processing, electro-less plating, and electro-plating are repeated to form the integral terminals of a desired shape. The dielectric layers are removed to expose the terminals.

Abstract:
A combined wiring board has multiple piece components each including a wiring board, and a frame component having an accommodation opening portion and holding the multiple piece components in the accommodation opening portion such that each of the piece components is fixed to the frame component at an outer rim of each of the piece components. The frame component has a thermal expansion coefficient in a planar direction which is set higher than a thermal expansion coefficient of the multiple piece components in the planar direction.
Abstract:
A surface mount electrical interconnect adapted to provide an interface between solder balls on a BGA device and a PCB. The electrical interconnect includes a socket substrate 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 bonded to the first surface of 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 are located in the openings that electrically couple the contact tabs to contact pads located proximate the second surface of the socket substrate. Solder balls are bonded to the contact pad that are adapted to electrically and mechanically couple the electrical interconnect to the PCB.
