Abstract:
A thin flexible electric conductor for use in implantable devices such as cochlear implants, consists of a conductive metal layer coated on a flexible three dimensionally textured surface so that the current capacity of the conductor is increased relative to the current capacity of a conductor of the same size that is not on a three dimensional surface. The flexible substrate is treated to form a three dimensional surface such as with corrugations and a conductive layer is deposited onto the surface.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an intermediate support for electronic components, for example a semiconductor, comprising a plastic substrate with contact bumps (2) in one-piece, covered with a metallic layer, which is electrically connected to at least one conducting path of said substrate (1). Said contact bumps (2) each comprise a well wettable path, extending from the tips to the base thereof and each leading to the corresponding contact bump (2) base in a solder receiving region with suction (11). Therefore, by soldering said contact bumps, excess solder can be sucked off, such that short circuits can be avoided even without the use of a solder resist. By solder contacting said intermediate support, the solder can thus be applied over a large surface on a circuit support and sucked off the cavities between the contact points by reflow soldering.
Abstract:
A molded interconnect device (MID) having a multilayer circuit of a reduced thickness, in which a layer-to-layer connection(s) is formed with high reliability, is provided as a multilayer circuit board. The multilayer circuit board comprises a substrate (10) having a first surface (14) and a second surface (15) extending from an end of the first surface (14) at a required angle relative to the first surface (14), and the multilayer circuit formed on the first surface (14) and composed of a plurality of circuit layers. Each of the circuit layers is provided with a conductive layer (20,22,24,26) having a required circuit pattern and an insulation layer (30,32,34) formed on the conductive layer by film formation. The layer-to-layer connection of the multilayer circuit is made through a second conductive layer (20) formed on the second surface (15) of the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of efficiently manufacturing a printed wiring board is provided. In this method, a metal thin film is formed on a substrate having a projection. Then, an initial circuit pattern is formed on the substrate by patterning the metal thin film. The initial circuit pattern comprises first and second circuit patterns isolated from each other and a conductive layer formed on the projection to make a temporary electrical connection between the first and second circuit patterns. Electroplating is performed by the passage of electric current through the initial circuit pattern to form an additional metal film on the initial circuit pattern. After the electroplating, the conductive layer on the projection is removed to provide electrical insulation between the first and second circuit patterns.

An electrical connection box is provided for a vehicle which has a low-voltage battery of maximum output voltage selected from 14V and 28V, and a high-voltage battery of output voltage higher than that of said first battery structure. The electrical connection box (3) has an insulation plate and, fixed on one face of said insulation plate, first bus bars (10) connected in use to the first battery and second bus bars (11) connected in use to the second battery so that the first and second bus bars are at different potentials. In order to reduce risk of electrical leakage paths on the insulation plate, at least one of the following features is present:-
(i) the first bus bars (10) and the second bus bars (11) are separated on the face of the insulation plate by an air insulation zone of width in the range 1 to 30 mm, (ii) an insulation wall stands up on the insulation plate between the first bus bars and the second bus bars, (iii) the second bus bars (11) are embedded in the insulating material.
Abstract:
A trim panel includes a plurality of ribs projecting from a surface of the trim panel. Fluent, conductive material is sprayed onto the ribs at an angle such that distinct electrical traces are formed on each rib. The gauge of each electrical trace can be determined by varying the height of each rib. The gauge of each electrical trace can also be determined by varying the angle of the rib relative to the surface of the trim panel.
