Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns a flexible electronic circuit (100) and method of manufacturing. A flexible substrate (30) with conductive tracks is provided with a rigid electronic component (10). The component (10) comprises electrical contacts (11,12) on either sides. The conductive tracks connect to the contacts via an arced section that originates from respective sides of the contacts but swirls partially around the component to approaches the component along a centerline (CL) separating the contacts (11,12).
Abstract:
A motherboard is provided. The motherboard includes a main body, a notch formed at a side edge of the main body, and a fixing device formed adjacent to the notch to fix an auxiliary device. The function of the motherboard is expanded significantly while artistic of the appearance of the motherboard is improved.
Abstract:
A solderless joint arrangement comprising a receptacle (11, 12) of a PCB (10) arranged to receive a conductive compliant pin, the receptacle (11) comprising a conductive portion (12) for contact with the compliant pin wherein the receptacle is positioned on a flexible portion (20) of the PCB.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to coupling and/or holding devices for electrically and/or mechanically contacting circuit elements, such as power sources, sensors, transducers and other devices. In one embodiment, a coupling device comprises a substrate having at least one printed conductive element and at least one fold, flap, slit, slot, perforation or other alteration configured to encourage contact between a circuit element, such as a battery, sensor, transducer or other element, and the at least one printed conductive element.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for positioning at least one electronic component (3) on a circuit board (1) provided for installation in a vehicle headlamp, wherein the circuit board (1) comprises at least one position mark and the positioning of the at least one electronic component (3) is carried out relative to the at least one position mark on the circuit board (1), wherein the at least one position mark is detected optically and is used for the positioning, wherein the at least one position mark used is at least one alignment mark (5, 6, 7, 8, 8', 8'') of the circuit board (1) which, in the vehicle headlamp, when the circuit board (1) is installed, interacts mechanically with a positioning means (9, 15) of the vehicle headlamp that is complementary to the alignment mark (5, 6, 7, 8, 8', 8').
Abstract:
A shock resistant fuselage system includes first and second fuselage side walls, each of the first and second fuselage side walls having a plurality of guide posts, and a printed circuit board (PCB) rigidly attached to at least one of the first and second fuselage side walls, the PCB having a plurality of guide slots, each of the plurality of guide posts slideably seated in a respective one of the plurality of guide slots so that elastic deformation of the PCB is guided by the guide slots between the first and second fuselage side walls.
Abstract:
An electronic system includes first and second circuit boards (202, 204) and a flexible circuit connector (40). The flexible circuit connector is configured to electrically connect the first and second circuit boards. The flexible circuit connector includes first and second connectors (42, 44) and a spiral portion (48). The first connector is configured to connect to the first circuit board. The second connector is configured to connect to the second circuit board. The spiral portion is connected between the first and second circuit boards and includes a circumferential portion (62) that extends around the second connector.
Abstract:
An optical transmitter may include a chip stack that includes an electrical IC that is mounted using solder balls to a photonic chip. These solder connections permit the electrical IC and the photonic chip to communicate. In addition, the transmitter may include a PCB coupled to the stack so that electrical signals in the PCB are transmitted to the IC and photonic chip (and vice versa). Instead of coupling the PCB to the stack using wire bonds attached to pads on a surface of the photonic chip, at least a portion of the PCB is disposed between the photonic chip and electrical IC. The PCB may also include bond pads used to form a direct solder connection to the electrical IC. As such, the electrical IC may include direct solder connections to both the PCB and the photonic chip.
