Abstract:
A thermistor with positive resistance-to-temperature characteristic used in a overcurrent protection circuit has electrodes on mutually opposite main surfaces and is mounted to a substrate having electrically conductive members such that deterioration of its voltage resistance due to heat emission can be controlled. A spacer with smaller thermal conductivity than the substrate and penetrated by a conductor piece with a small cross-sectional area is inserted between solder materials connecting to one of the thermistor electrodes. The other electrode is contacted by an elongated connecting member through its sectional surface transverse to its longitudinal direction such that the cross-sectional area of electrical conduction is reduced.

Abstract:
A method for installing an axial multiple connection component, for connecting to a circuit board, comprising a shell, the shell substantially cylindrical, having two opposite ends. Conducting leads extend from the opposite ends along the axis, for providing two isolated connections to other components on the circuit board. At least one contact ring encircles the shell with the axis at the center of the contact ring, and provides another connection to the other components on the circuit board. The conducting leads are inserted into lead holes on the circuit board, and the contact ring rests against a metallically plated through ring hole. The component is either manually solder utilizing a solder melting tool or alternatively wave soldered onto the circuit board, with the solder wicking up the plated through ring hole to the contact ring to make a good electrical contact therebetween.

A method of one step soldering of the outer diameter of a filter sleeve to a printed circuit board while soldering the leads thereto simultaneously as well as the completed filter assembly. The method comprises provided a printed circuit board having an electrically conductive coating on at least the upper surface with a portion of the conductor removed in the regions where leads from the filter to be positioned on the top surface of the printed circuit board are to extend through the printed circuit board for soldering. The printed circuit board includes apertures extending entirely therethrough, not only for the leads from the components positioned on the surface thereof, but also beneath filter sleeves positioned on the printed circuit board. The apertures in the printed circuit board are preferably coated with an electrically conductive material to provide better adherence for the solder during the soldering operation. In the event a conductive ground plane is to be utilized on the upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board, it is essential that the apertures beneath the filter sleeves be plated through.
