Die Erfindung betrifft einen flächigen Träger (1) aus einem elektrisch nicht leitfähigen Material, wobei auf oder in dem Träger (1) elektrisch leitfähige Strukturen (2, 3, 4) auf- oder eingebracht sind, ausgebildet zur Anwendung in einem Fahrzeug, wobei erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ist, dass der Träger (1) randseitig zumindest eine Einbuchtung (11, 12) und/oder innerhalb seiner flächigen Erstreckung zumindest eine Aussparung (8, 9, 10, 13, 14) und/oder zumindest eine Markierung (19) aufweist.
Abstract:
A paste of active metallic brazing material (2) is applied to the entire surface of each side of aluminum nitride or alumina ceramic substrate (1); circuit forming copper plate (3) having a thickness of 0.3 mm is placed in contact with one surface of the substrate and a heat dissipating copper plate (4) having a thickness of 0.25 mm placed in contact with the other surface; the individual members are compressed together and heated at 850°C in a vacuum furnace to form a joint; an etching resist is applied to the circuit forming copper plate and etching is performed with an iron chloride solution to form a circuit pattern and the unwanted brazing material (2) is removed from the marginal portions; a second resist layer is applied and etched with an iron chloride solution to form a second marginal step; a third resist layer is similarly applied and etched to form a third marginal step; the completed circuit board having three marginal steps of which the lowest one is solely or partly made of the brazing material (2) can withstand 1,500 heat cycles, which is the result that has been unattainable by the prior art. Having such high heat cycle characteristics, the circuit board is suitable for use as semiconductor substrate in automobiles, electric trains and other applications that require high output power.
Abstract:
In order to restrict a local concentration of an electric field in a conductor layer end portion (11a, 15a) of an insulating circuit board and increase a partial electric discharge starting voltage, thereby improving an insulating reliability of the insulating circuit board and a power semiconductor apparatus employing the same, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a insulating circuit board comprising the step of applying a voltage between the circuit patterns of the insulating circuit board in an atmospheric or depressurized gas so as to allow the circuit board to discharge electricity, or irradiating a laser beam, thereby a projection shape of the end portion (11a, 15a) of the electrode conductor (3, 6) is melted and smoothened so as to restrict the concentration of the electric field.
Abstract:
To offer a tape carrier package in which many pins and fine pitches can be simultaneously attained through a simplified positioning during the connection to external devices. Leads 4 and 5 are formed from an over coat area 3, which is formed at the central area of a base film 2, which is made of a resin, such as polymide, for example. Furthermore, outer leads 4a at the input side and outer leads 5a at the output side are respectively formed in a manner so that they extend towards both edge areas of the base film 2. A notched section 6 is formed between the outer leads 5a at the output side of the base film 2, and through this, each of the regions 2a and 2b expands independently during a thermocompression bonding. The notched section 6 is provided almost at the central area of the base film 2 in the longitudinal direction, and outer leads 5 at the output side in the same number (256 for example) are formed at both of its sides in a pitch of approximately 70µm.
Abstract:
A method and device for connecting a flexible circuit (12) to a printed circuit board (10) wherein the device is integral with flexible circuit and the printed circuit board resulting in an improvement in the ease and efficiency of assembly. The printed circuit board (10) includes a cut-out (32,36) in a side edge (34,38) thereof to yield an arcuate bearing rim (40,50) located between a pair of opposing nocks (45,55). The printed circuit board (10) includes a plurality of solder pads (46,56) adjacent the arcuate bearing rim and the arcuate bearing rim has a predetermined length. The flexible circuit (12) includes a pair of opposing notches (68) located one each in a lateral edge of the flexible circuit. The flexible circuit (12) also includes a plurality of solder pads (66) proximate to the pair of opposing notches (68). The flexible circuit (12) has a predetermined width at across the opposing notches (68) which is substantially equal to the predetermined length of said arcuate bearing rim (40,50). The flexible circuit (12) is caused to bow such that it can be inserted into the cut-out (32,36) so that the notches (68) interlock with the nocks (45,55) with the flexible circuit (12) engaging the bearing rim (40,50) to conform to the shape of the bearing rim and automatically align the solder pads (46,56) of the printed circuit board (10) with the solder pads (66) of the flexible circuit (12). The electrical and mechanical connection is completed by soldering.
Abstract:
A PC board (5) for mating with a card-edge connector (25) having a selectively configured projecting tab (10) which defines a desired insertion force profile to facilitate engagement. A portion (11) of the projecting tab (10) is notched to delay the initial contact from the internal spring contacts of the mating card-edge connector (25) until a proportional amount of contacts have opened and wiped some of the PC board terminals first, and then to allow the remaining contacts to engage the notched portion. Initial insertion force is relieved in proportion to the PC board edge profile.
