Abstract:
An elastic printed board (102) is provided so that stress applied by the silicon gel (101) is absorbed by the printed board (102). Further, the printed board (102) is formed to be so narrow that the stress may be escaped. On the other hand, the wires on which a high voltage is applied are patterned on respective printed boards. This serves to prevent discharge through the surface of the same printed board served as current passage. This design makes it possible to hermetically close the power module, prevent intrusion of moisture or contamination as well as displacement, transformation and crack of the cover plate (105).
Abstract:
Providing a semiconductor loading lead pin which does not tilt at the time of reflow. Void B is sometimes left in solder 48 between an electrode pad 44 and the flange 20 of a semiconductor loading lead pin as shown in FIG. 3(A). When reflow is carried out to load an IC chip, solder 48 for connection is melted and at the same time, void B in the solder is expanded. Because it escapes sideway along the groove portion 24 as shown in FIG. 3(B), it does not happen that the flange 20 is raised by the void B so that the semiconductor loading lead pin 10 is tilted.
Abstract:
Products and assemblies are provided for socketably receiving elongate interconnection elements, such as spring contact elements, extending from electronic components, such as semiconductor devices. Socket substrates are provided with capture pads for receiving ends of elongate interconnection elements extending from electronic components. Various capture pad configurations are disclosed. A securing device such as a housing positions the electronic component securely to the socket substrate. Connections to external devices are provided via conductive traces adjacent the surface of the socket substrate. The socket substrate may be supported by a support substrate. In a particularly preferred embodiment the capture pads are formed directly on a primary substrate such as a printed circuit board.

Said method comprises illuminating the cathode element (118) of the EFO component with ultraviolet light having sufficient energy to stimulate the production of photo-electrons at the cathode element (118).
Abstract:
A resonant capacitive coupler (124) couples signals across a gap (126) between signal transmission lines (112, 118) of two printed wiring boards (100, 102). The coupler has a conductive contact member that is either positioned in close proximity to one of the transmission lines (112) or is connected to the one transmission line via a dielectric, and forms a capacitor therewith. The coupler further has a conductive interconnect member that is connected to the contact member, and also to the other transmission line (108) either directly or via a second conductive contact member. The conductive interconnect member is dimensioned to have an inductive impedance at the frequency of the signals that equals, and hence cancels out, the capacitive impedance of the one or two capacitors formed by the one or two contact members. The coupler therefore resonates at the signal frequency, and relative to conventional capacitive coupling achieves a low-loss interconnection over large gaps while requiring only small capacitance to do so.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board has a circuit substrate 6 having a conductor circuit 5 and a through hole 60, and also has a joining pin 1 inserted into the through hole. The joining pin is manufactured by using a material unmelted at a heating temperature in joining the joining pin to an opposite party pad 81. The joining pin is constructed by a joining head portion 11 greater than an opening diameter of the through hole and forming a joining portion to the opposite party pad, and a leg portion 12 having a size capable of inserting this leg portion into the through hole. The leg portion is inserted into the through hole and is joined to the through hole by a conductive material such as a soldering material 20, etc. A joining ball approximately having a spherical shape instead of the joining pin can be also joined to the through hole by the conductive material.
