Abstract:
Apparatus for positioning a component on a circuit board and aligning terminals of the component with circuitry of the circuit board. The apparatus comprises a generally rectangular insulating member having index pins located on the outer edge thereof for insertion between adjacent terminals of the component. Registration pins positioned on the bottom of the insulating member engage the circuit board to enable the insulating member to accurately align each component terminal with corresponding circuitry of the circuit board.
Abstract:
A multilayer wiring substrate composed of organic dielectric layers with wiring layers disposed therein supports large-scale integrated circuit chips and bonding pads. To prevent damage to the wiring layers when wires from the integrated circuit chips are attached to the bonding pads by thermocompression bonding, a metallic layer is interposed between the wiring layers and the bonding pads.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a capacitor device and method of forming same, and more particularly to a monolithic ceramic capacitor incorporating an improved conductive termination arrangement providing a compliant connector for mechanically and electrically connecting the capacitor to a substrate, said termination arrangement providing increased resistance to damage to the capacitor as a result of differential coefficient of expansion between the capacitor and the substrate on which it is mounted.
Abstract:
An electrical conductor of relatively small cross section is provided with a loop at one end adapted to be dipped into a bath of molten solder, whereby a predetermined amount of solder adheres to the loop as a membrane, formed by capillary action. The conductor is thus provided with a known quantity of solder, so that the conductor may be soldered to a conductive element by application of a known quantity of heat, without requiring any additional solder to be supplied at the time of soldering. The solder membranes are formed continuously by an automatic process, and the conductors are soldered into fixed relation with conductive elements automatically by the application of heat and pressure from a soldering element.
Abstract:
A method of forming a circuit board assembly includes receiving a flat no-lead package. The package includes: a housing having a first side and second side; a circuit disposed within the housing; and an exposed thermal belly pad that is thermally coupled to the circuit and passes at least partially through the first side such that it can be exposed to an environment outside of the housing. The method also includes attaching the second side of the flat no-lead package to a first side of a printed circuit board (PCB) such that the exposed thermal belly pad is opposite the first side of the PCB.
Abstract:
An electronic component, a board having the same, and a method of manufacturing a metal frame for the electronic component. The electronic component includes a multilayer ceramic capacitor including a plurality of external electrodes formed on opposing surfaces of a capacitor body, respectively; and metal frames bonded to the external electrodes, respectively, wherein each of the metal frames includes an inner support portion, an outer support portion disposed on an outer surface of the inner support portion, and a connecting portion connecting portions of the inner support portion and the outer support portion to each other.
Abstract:
A power converter includes a carrier, a first electronic component, a second electronic component, and a connection part. The first electronic component is disposed on the bottom surface of the carrier. The second electronic component is disposed on the top surface of the carrier. A first terminal of the connection part is coupled to the top surface or the bottom surface of the carrier. A second terminal of the connection part is a bonding pad and attached to the first electronic component's surface apart from the carrier. The carrier is disposed at ⅓ to ⅔ of a height of the power-converter. The connection part is fabricated by mechanical support of the first electronic component.
