A circuit-board overlaid with a copper material on both sides with a lead-tin layer on the copper material and a plate-shaped heat sink (6). To achieve desirable dissipation of heat generated by electronic components on such circuit-board, the heat sink (6) is provided with a copper surface and then a layer of silver (8) applied to it is soldered to one side of the circuit-board (1). In a method of fabricating the circuit-board, a heat sink (6) having a copper surface is provided with a silver layer (8) and is applied to the circuit board (1) with its side (7) having the silver layer (8). The heat sink (6) is pressed with the circuit board (1) and a heated platen (20) in close contact with the heat sink (6).
Abstract:
A power amplifying module has a package formed by welding a package bottom plate being a package substrate of a generally flat plate shape with a cap being a metal package cap of a generally rectangular box shape. A wiring substrate of a generally flat plate shape is placed on the package bottom plate and this wiring substrate is covered by the cap. There are two through holes formed in the wiring substrate and two heat spreaders of a generally flat plate shape are positioned in portions exposed through the through holes on the package bottom plate. Semiconductor devices sealed with a resin or the like are set by soldering or the like on respective surfaces of these heat spreaders.

Abstract:
An apparatus for carrying semiconductor mounting devices in back-to-back arrangement is disclosed in which a central substantially planar thermally conductive support member is provided with recesses in its top and bottom surfaces of an interlocking congruent shape with the semiconductor devices to be received such that each semiconductor mounting device assembled therein is positively positioned and locked in place and fixed in a manner such that the semiconductor elements mounted on the layered or laminar elements connect directly to circuitry carried on the surfaces of the support member.
Abstract:
A resin-packaged semiconductor device having a semiconductor element mounted on a first surface of a mounting pad. The mounting pad has an edge molded in a frame-shaped portion of a molding material. A second surface of the mounting pad has a central portion that is not included in the edge of the mounting pad and that is not covered with the molding material, the central portion of the second surface being exposed at the outside of the device. The thickness of the molding material in the frame-shaped portion and on the second surface of the mounting pad can be readily reduced to reduce the thickness of the device. Since the molding material does not cover the entire second surface, molding characteristics as well as heat radiation characteristics are improved.
Abstract:
A circuit assembly (400) includes a flexible circuit (402) having first (504) and second layers (502). A current-limiting device such as a nichrome strip (316) is coupled to the flexible circuit (402) for limiting the amount of current during a short circuit condition. A heat sink (404) is selectively placed between the first and second layers of the flexible circuit in thermal proximity to the nichrome wire (316) in order to dissipate some of the heat generated by the nichrome strip (316).
Abstract:
The present image sensor mounting system is particularly adapted to the mounting of a linear sensor array, of the type having a transparent window on a front surface and a thermal and electrically conductive back surface. The system provides superior electrical and thermal transfer characteristics. A heat sink having at least one flat surface is positioned to make thermal contact with the back surface of the image sensor. A multilayer circuit board having layers of conductive material separated by layers of insulating material and having an opening therethrough sufficient in size to accept the heat sink provides the system support. A metal plating extends from one surface of the board through the opening in the board to the opposite surface of the board with selected ones of the layers of conductive material making electrical contact with the metal plating. The heat sink is mounted in the multilayer circuit board opening in thermal and electrical contact with the metal plating. A layer of thermal and electrically conductive grease is layered between the at least one surface of the heat sink and the conductive back surface of the linear sensor array.
Abstract:
A circuit board assembly for supporting a leadless ceramic chip carrier for surface mounting on a printed circuit board and for reducing the thermally induced stress on solder joint connections at the carrier-to-board contacts. The board includes an inner heat sink core comprising a highly conductive plate having openings provided therein in the areas which underlie the chip carrier. The openings have inserts therein of a material which closely matches the thermal coefficient of expansion of the ceramic to thereby reduce stress of the intermediate solder joints.

In accordance with a further aspect of this invention the boards of this invention are obtained by a method in which the connecting pins are sealed in a spaced relationship in apertures in the metal core of the board and insulated from the core prior to the application of the porcelain to the surfaces of the core.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board having a through connected between conductors on opposite sides of the board which is provided by a conductive element press-fitted in a hole extending through the conductors and insulating material of the circuit board and peened at both ends. The conductive element is inserted into the printed circuit board by punching a hole in the board at a predetermined receiving position, positioning conductive stock material between the retracted punch and the hole, positioning an anvil to enclose the hole on the side of the board opposite that facing the punch, and actuating the punch to remove the conductive element from the stock material, press the element into the hole and peen the element in one stroke. A machine for inserting the conductive element into the printed circuit board comprises a mechanism for holding and indexing the printed circuit board, a punch, a reel supported on one side of the punch and upon which a strip of the conductive stock material is wound, a punch head including a stripper and die assembly in registry with the punch and within which conductive strip material supplied by the reel is slidably retained, a mechanism for indexing the strip material, a female die in registry with the punch on the side of the circuit board opposite that facing the punch and adapted to be laterally shifted so as to function as an anvil with respect to said punch, and a cammed disk having three cam surfaces for actuating said punch, punch head and shiftable die through appropriate followers and linkages.
