Abstract:
Disclosed are a printed circuit board which buries the leads of electronic parts mounted on a printed board into a coating material to prevent the occurrence of a leak between the leads, and an electronic part designed to suppress the occurrence of cracks in a coating layer formed by coating a coating material on the electronic part and a printed board after the former is mounted on the latter. The printed circuit board comprises a printed board, a frame provided on the soldering-surface side of the printed board to surround all or a part of the soldering surface of the printed board in such a way that the amount of protrusion of the frame from the soldering surface of the printed board is made larger than that of protrusion of the leads of the electronic parts from the soldering surface side of the printed board, and a coating material injected inside the frame to bury the leads that protrude from the printed board. The electronic part comprises a case body having side walls nearly perpendicular to the mount surface of the electronic part. The electronic part has a mount surface at which the electronic part is to be attached to the printed board when mounted thereon. The mount-surface side outer peripheral portions of the side walls of the case body are each formed to have a curved surface so that as the outer peripheral portions approach the mount surface, the outer peripheral portions extend further outward.
Abstract:
Related operations are performed on workpieces, e.g., coating and curing circuit boards, of different types in random order in assembly line fashion on a rotary table of an apparatus under programmed control. The table is rotated stepwise to move successive sections thereof from a load-unload station at which the respective workpieces are loaded and unloaded in random order, to a sensing station at which the type and orientation of the workpiece is sensed, next to an initial work station at which initial work, e.g., coating, is performed on the workpiece in dependence upon its type and orientation previously sensed at the sensing station, then to a subsequent work station at which related subsequent work is performed on the workpiece, e.g., curing of the coating, and in turn back to the load-unload station to complete a cycle. The workpiece is either changed in orientation on the table section for a repeat cycle to perform further work thereon or is replaced by another workpiece in random order.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprises a housing made of a polycarbonate resin, and a novel double-sided printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has one side embedded in the housing, and the other side exposed to the interior of the housing. A plurality of refractory electronic components are mounted onto one side of the printed circuit board and include a resistor and a capacitor. A plurality of lower refractory electronic components are mounted onto the other side of the housing and include a semiconductor integrated circuit, and a transformer. Preferably, an insulating layer is applied to cover the one side of the printed circuit board and the refractory electronic components. Also, a metal layer is applied to cover the insulating layer and the inner surface of the housing.

A curable composition based on a cycloaliphatic polyepoxide, a polytetramethylene oxide polyol and a photoinitiator; and a circuit board having as a conformal coating thereon, the cured product of the curable composition.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board having electrical components connected thereto in spaced relation is coated with a resin material by immersion in a container of resin material. The flow of resin between the electrical devices and the circuit board is facilitated by the provision of holes through the circuit board in alignment with each electrical component so that the formation of blow-holes is prevented.
Abstract:
Compositions useful as UV curable conformal coatings are mixtures, substantially free of isocyanate condensation catalyst, of the following constituents:(i) a compound having two or more alkenyl or alkynyl groups;(ii) a compound having two or more mercapto groups;(iii) a compound having two or more isocyanate groups; and(iv) a free radical photoinitiator.The composition cures by a secondary mechanism in shadow areas and has a long pot life, for example 8-24 hours.
Abstract:
Ultraviolet curable polymerizable coating system having a built-in secondary curing mechanism is disclosed. The polymerizable coating system is a one component system comprising at least one isocyanate-capped polyether diol and triol, an acrylate or methacrylate reactive diluent, and a polymerization initiator of the photo-initiator type. The coating system is also moisture curable.
Abstract:
A process for applying a polyurethane gel composition for coating and encapsulating the electronic circuitry on a circuit board wherein the said composition consists essentially of an admixture of an elastomeric linear polyesterurethane of high molecular weight; a tetrahydrofuran intermediate monomer solvent and ethylene glycol monoethylether acetate, which composition is preferably sprayed over the object circuitry and onto the related electronic circuit board or other substrate as a vaporized gel of minute viscous globules which simultaneously forms a substantially uniform protective film over the substrate and encapsulates the circuit''s conduit and conduit terminals as well as other protrusions, including elements having sharp points, knife edges and the like. This prime coat is then dried and may be subsequently followed by one or more dip coatings which are formed by immersion of the dried workpiece into a mixture of polymethyl methacrylate with a copolymer of ethyl acrylate/methyl methylacrylate.
Abstract:
A liquid composition for stripping resin coatings such as epoxy embedment or conformal coatings from substrates such as printed circuit boards. The composition is a substantially anhydrous combination of organic liquids comprising on a volume basis above about 60 percent of a halogenated hydrocarbon liquid, a minor amount below 12 percent but above 4 percent of an alcohol and below 5 percent but at least 1 percent of a ketone. The resin coating is contacted with the composition for a period sufficient to loosen and solvate said resin. The removal of the softened resin may be facilitated by brushing.
