Abstract:
A transformer group in which a multitude of transformers (110A and 110B) are used to supply energy to a single load. The transformers (110A and 110B) are connected in series; in order to assist in providing a "flux equalizing" effect, the invention includes a flux equalizer circuit (112A and 112B). The flux equalizer circuit (112A and 112B) provides a series of flux windings. Each flux winding is associated with a single transformer. The windings are arranged in parallel. In this manner, a balancing of the output of the transformers is obtained; the power output from each transformer is "sensed" by its associated flux winding which is "shared" with the other transformers via their own associated flux winding. Power is processed then through the secondary windings, rectifiers, and output filters to a common load.

A printed circuit board having one or more vias disposed in the surface area of a pad. The pad may serve as a connection point between the printed circuit board and another circuit board and is disposed along the edge of the board such that the vias do not form half vias.
Abstract:
Ein Verfahren zur Kontaktierung der Leiterbahnen einer Schaltungsplatine (1) mit den Leiterbahnen eines Bauteiles (10) in MID-Technologie umfasst folgende Schritte:
Auf dem Nutzen, aus dem die Schaltungsplatine gewonnen wird, werden die Leiterbahnen mindestens bis zum Rand der Schaltungsplatine geführt. Längs dieses Randes wird der Nutzen im Bereich der Leiterbahnen mit Durchgangsbohrungen (6d) versehen. Die Durchgangsbohrungen werden galvanisch durchkontaktiert. Die aus dem Nutzen herausgetrennte Schaltungsplatine wird relativ zu dem MID-Bauteil so positioniert, dass die aneinander grenzenden Leiterbahnen von Schaltungsplatine und MID-Bauteil miteinander verlötbar sind.
Zweckmäßig erhält die Schaltungsplatine deckungsgleich zu den an ihrem Rand endenden Leiterbahnen rückseitig elektrische Kontaktierungsflächen (6b), welche über metallisierte und durchkontaktierte Bohrungen mit den vorderseitigen Leiterbahnen (5) elektrisch verbunden sind.
Abstract:
Laminar electrical devices, in particular circuit protection devices, contain two laminar electrodes, with a PTC element between them, and a cross-conductor which passes through the thickness of the device and contacts one only of the two electrodes. This permits connection to both electrodes from the same side of the device. It also makes it possible to carry out the steps for preparing such devices on an assembly which corresponds to a number of individual devices, with division of the assembly as the final step.

Abstract:
A printed circuit assembly (100) and method of making the same facilitates the attachment of high density modules (120) onto a printed circuit board (110). In one embodiment, the high density modules are attached to the printed circuit board using an adhesive having a conductive material disposed within at least one via. A printed circuit assembly and method of making the same utilize in another embodiment an interlayer interconnecting technology incoporating conductive posts that are deposited on one of a pair of contact pads formed on a module that opposes a printed circuit board and is thereafter bonded to the other in the pair of contact pads during lamination. Fusible material may be utilized in the conductive posts to facilitate mechanical bonding to a contact pad, and the posts project through a dielectric layer disposed between the printed circuit boards, thereby forming the electrical connections between the boards at discrete locations. The conductive posts may also comprise a conductive ink.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of making a multi-layer circuit assembly. Said method comprises the steps of providing a first circuit panel (544) having a dielectric body with oppositely directed top and bottom surfaces, contacts (538) on its top surface at locations of a first pattern, terminals (530) on its bottom surface, and through-conductors (527) electrically connected to said terminals and extending to the top surface of the panel, and a second circuit panel (562) having a dielectric body with a bottom surface and terminals (530) at locations of said first pattern on the bottom surface of such panel, said providing step including the step of customizing said first circuit panel by selectively treating the top surface of such panel so that less than all of the through conductors of such panel are connected to contacts of such panel; stacking said circuit panels in superposed, top-surface to bottom surface relation so that the top surface of said first circuit panel faces the bottom surface of said second circuit panel at a first interface and said first patterns on said facing surfaces are in registration with one another, with said contacts of said first panel being aligned with said terminals of said second panel at least some locations of said inregistration patterns; and non-selectively connecting all of said aligned contacts and terminals at said interface, whereby less than all of said through conductors of said customized panel are connected to terminals of said adjacent panel. The invention also relates to a multi-layer circuit assembly.
Abstract:
An electronic-circuit assembly of the present invention comprises a plurality of film carriers which are stacked. Respective film carriers have a plurality of through-holes. One of through-holes is provided on corresponding position to another through-hole in the stacked direction of the substrate. Two of adjacent film carriers are connected by the corresponding through-holes. A connection member is provided in two of adjacent through-holes in the stacked direction of the substrates. A connection state between film carriers can be easily checked. Since it is visually checked that solder appears inside the topmost through-hole. Furthermore, wiring lengths for connection between substrates can be reduced. Since the plurality of substrates are three-dimensionally connected.
