Abstract:
A device includes a circuit element, a housing for the circuit element and a terminal for coupling the circuit element to an electrical circuit. The terminal includes an engagement portion and a sleeve portion. The engagement portion is configured to engage a base for the electrical circuit. The sleeve portion couples the engagement portion to the circuit element. The housing encloses the sleeve portion.
Abstract:
A contact tail for an electronic component useful for attachment of components using conductive adhesive, which may be lead (Pb) - free. The contact tail is stamped, providing a relatively low manufacturing cost and high precision. The contact tail has a distal portion with a large surface area per unit length. The distal portion shapes conductive adhesive into a joint, holding the adhesive adjacent the lead for a more secure joint. Additionally, the distal portion holds adhesive to the contact tail before a joint is formed, facilitating the use of an adhesive transfer process to dispense adhesive. The further aid in the transfer of adhesive, the contact tail may be formed with concave portions, which increase the volume of adhesive adhering to the contact tail. By adhering an increased but controlled amount of adhesive to the contact tail, arrays of contact tails may be simply and reliably attached to printed circuit boards and other substrates.
Abstract:
A surface mounting discharge tube, comprise of a cylindrical ceramic envelope sealed at its two ends by side surfaces of electrodes, designed to be directly soldered on to a mounting board, where the electrodes at the two ends are rectangular, project outward radially at the ends of the ceramic envelope and are provided at peripheral edges at the side surfaces of the electrodes with soldering use tapers or step differences, whereby positional deviation at the time of soldering is suppressed and sufficient PCT properties are secured.
Abstract:
An electrical connector 1 has a housing (2) with a base (3) for mounting on a printed circuit board (5), projecting mounting posts (6) extend from the base, a conductive outer shell (22) and a dielectric body (23) surrounded by the housing (2), a first conductive contact (25) has a first contact portion (48) projecting from the housing (2) for insertion into a corresponding aperture (55) of a printed circuit board (5), a second contact portion (33) projecting from the housing (2) for insertion into a corresponding aperture (7) of a printed circuit board (5), and each contact portion (33,48) has a taper (50) toward the free end and with an apex (51) of the taper (50) that intersects a longitudinal edge (52) of the corresponding contact portion (33,48) and is aligned with a center line (54) of a corresponding aperture (55) of a printed circuit board (5).
