Abstract:
A printed circuit board (PCB) is provided. The PCB has at least a first surface and a second surface. One or more pre-defined areas defined on the first surface comprise a PCB plane (8) for the location of one or more electrical components thereon. One or more test pads (18) provided on the second surface allow electrical testing of the solder connection between said PCB and/or one or more electrical components. Two or more connectivity points (10) are provided on the first surface in each of said pre-defined areas. The connectivity points are a spaced distance apart and are substantially electrically isolated from each other before soldering. The connectivity points are capable of electrical connection in case of sufficient solder being present between the PCB and the electrical component.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board comprising a circuit board (6) having a conductor circuit (5) and a through-hole (60), and a junction pin (1) inserted in the through-hole. The junction pin is made of a material which does not melt at a heating temperature in joining the junction pin to a counterpart pad (81). The junction pin includes a junction top portion (11) which is greater than the aperture diameter of the through-hole and becomes a junction part with the counterpart pad, and a leg portion (12) of a size enabling insertion into the through-hole. The leg portion is inserted in the through-hole and joined with the through-hole by a conductive material such as a solder material (20). In place of the junction pin, a junction ball of a substantially spherical shape may be joined by the conductive material.
Abstract:
A method of constructing an image reader module and the image reader are described. The image reader module includes two or more circuit boards in a stacked configuration. Corresponding notches for receiving supports are formed along adjacent edges of the boards, which also have electrical contact points at the edges of each board connected to circuits on the boards. The supports are mounted in the notches between the two or more circuit boards to structurally interconnect the boards. Each of the supports, which may be flex cables or conductive bus bars, have one or more electrical conductors that are electrically connected to the contact points on the boards to electrically interconnect the boards, whereby the connections between the electrical conductors and the contact points form test points for the module. The notches may be substantially rectangular to receive the flex cable or may be slots to receive a bus bar. One end of the structural support flex cable or bus bar may be flush with one of the circuit boards and the other end of the structural support may extend past another one of the circuit boards. The supports may be soldered to the edges of the boards within the notches, which may be initially plated. In the image reader module an image sensor may be located on one of the circuit boards and an illumination assembly may be located on another of the circuit boards.

There is provided a structure for connecting substrates to each other, which is capable of thinning an electronic device on which a plurality of circuit boards is mounted, saving a space of the electronic device, and detaching a circuit board from the electronic device. The circuit board unit includes a first substrate 1 including, on a surface thereof, a first group of electrode terminals 10 arranged in a matrix, a second substrate 2 including, on a surface thereof, a second group of electrode terminals 20 arranged in a matrix in alignment with the first group of electrode terminals 10, and an anisotropic electrical conductor 3 sandwiched between the first and second substrates 10, 20. The first and second substrates 1, 2 and the anisotropic electrical conductor 3 are pressurized by means of a pressurizer 4 to electrically connect the electrode terminals 10 and 20 to each other through the anisotropic electrical conductor 3.
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:
The invention comprises a method for manufacturing electrical connecting elements or semifinished products. Microvias are formed in a dielectric substrate layer by piercing a substrate layer (1) through a first conducting layer (3), which essentially covers an entire side of the substrate. The perforation depth (d) is at least equal to the total thickness of the substrate (1) and the first conducting layer (3). The conductor material of the first conducting layer (3) during the piercing step is deformed so that it partially covers the wall of the hole fabricated by the piercing process. The little remaining distance between the conductor material and the opposite side of the substrate layer can easily be bridged by plating the side of the first conducting layer (3) with additional conductor material. In this way, a reliable via contact is formed.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Filteranordnung zur Trennung von HF-Energie und Signalenergie in einer Signalleitung (24). Die Signalleitung verläuft in einer ersten Lage (14) einer mehrlagigen Leiterkarte (10). In einer zweiten Lage (16) der Leiterkarte (10) ist eine Massefläche (34) angeordnet. Die zu filternde Signalleitung (24) ist in der ersten Lage (14) im Filterbereich (12) unterbrochen und wird in einer dritten Lage (18) weitergeführt, wobei sich die zweite und dritte Lage (16 bzw. 18) auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der ersten Lage (14) befinden. Durch den Skineffekt wird sich die HF-Energie auf der Massefläche (34) zugewandte Seite der Signalleitung (24) konzentrieren. Die der Massefläche abgewandte Seite der Signalleitung (24) ist dann weitgehend von HF-Energie entkoppelt, so daß hier eine weitgehend von HF-Energie ungestörte Weiterführung des eigentlichen Signalweges erfolgen kann.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a multiple printed panel (1) which can be divided into individual printed panels (2) for electronic components (3), especially acoustic surface wave components. Each of these electronic components is suitable for contacting chips on the individual printed panels (2) using the flip-chip technique and for contacting the individual printed panels (2) with external connections using SMD technology. The inventive multiple printed panel (1) has metal-plated surfaces (5) for each individual printed panel (2), said metal-plated surfaces being located on a network which is integrated in the multiple printed panel and leads to a terminal pole (8). The bumps (13) are formed by galvanically separating metal onto the metal-plated surfaces (5).
