Abstract:
A battery pack that prevents a solder material from flowing down due to a tab electrically connecting a battery to a protective circuit board, thereby improving reliability, coupling efficiency, safety, and productivity is disclosed. The battery pack includes: a multi-cell battery having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, in which a plurality of battery cells are electrically connected to each other; a protective circuit board electrically connected to the multi-cell battery and having via holes; a pair of conductive tabs each including an insert portion inserted into a corresponding via hole and a bending portion integrally extending from the insert portion and bent from the insert portion; and a pair of soldering portions each being formed at at least some portions of a corresponding insert portion and a corresponding bending portion.
Abstract:
Electrically conductive L-shaped blades are disposed in an insulative body as a mechanism for mechanically and electrically connecting circuit cards to circuit boards. In particular, the interconnection device herein provides a mechanism for providing greater thermal and electrical properties for connections from voltage regulator modules to high current conducting planes within a printed wire board while at the same time increasing the available bulk material cross-sectional area available for current flow.

Abstract:
A circuit board device is disclosed that is able to be made thin. The a circuit board device includes a substrate having a notch at one end thereof, plural electrical parts mounted on an upper surface of the substrate, a resin portion burying the electrical parts, a metal plate arranged at an end portion of the upper surface of the substrate to cover the notch, and a lead connected to the metal plate and extending from the end of the substrate to the outside. One end of the lead is fit into the notch and is welded to a back side of the metal plate for connection to the metal plate.
Abstract:
In a two-pole SMT miniature housing in leadframe technique for semiconductor components, a semiconductor chip is mounted on one leadframe part and is contacted to a further leadframe part. The further leadframe part is conducted out of the housing in which the chip is encapsulated as a solder terminal. No trimming or shaping process is required and the housing is tight and is capable of further miniaturization. The solder terminals as punched parts of the leadframe are conducted projecting laterally from the housing sidewalls residing opposite one another at least up to the housing floor which forms the components' mounting surface. The chip mounting surface and the components' mounting surface form a right angle with one another.

Abstract:
A light emitting diode (LED) assembly has a printed circuit board, multiple conductors and multiple light emitting diodes (LEDs). The printed circuit board has multiple mounting holes. The conductors are mounted on the PCB and serve respectively as positive electrode conductors and negative electrode conductors. Each conductor has a contact pin and at least one through hole with an inner edge. Each LED is mounted on the positive electrode conductor and the negative electrode conductor and has a die and two contact tabs. Each contact tab has a through hole having an inner edge and multiple hooks extending from the inner edge of the through hole in the contact tab and hooking the inner edge of the at least one through hole in the conductor. Consequently, neither solder nor welding is required to assemble the LED assembly.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus provide for electrical coupling of electrical components to traces on a substrate such that impedance mismatches otherwise experienced in high frequency operation are avoided. Connecting elements having length, width, and thickness, are provided for terminals of a component to be connected to a trace. The connecting element is electrically coupled between the terminal and the trace, typically by soldering. The dimensions of the connecting element are chosen to reduce or eliminate the impedance mismatch which would result from a direct connection between the trace and component. Connecting elements are generally L-shaped, i.e., having first and second planar portions perpendicular with respect to each other, and having a curving portion that connects the first and second planar portions. In one embodiment, dimensions of at least a portion of the connecting element are such that its width increases as its distance from a ground plane within the substrate increases.
Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board comprising conducting layers of a first material and conducting layers of a second material includes noncorrosive low resistance electrical contacts between conducting layers of the first and second material. The noncorrosive low resistance contacts allow the use of light weight conducting materials for particular layers of the circuit board to produce a light weight multilayer circuit board.
