Abstract:
A electronic assembly is disclosed and claimed. The electronic assembly includes a first substrate and a second substrate. A plurality of power connections are coupled between the first substrate and the second substrate and a multiplicity of signal connections separate from the plurality of power connections are also coupled between the first substrate and the second substrate. Each of the plurality of power connections have a substantially different size and shape compared to each of the multiplicity of signal connections.
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 surface mount package is composed of a package body and first and second terminals. The package body has first and second surfaces intersecting with each other. Also, the package body has an installing portion for an element to be installed. The first terminal is connected to the first surface, and the second terminal is connected to the second surface.
Abstract:
The electronic device is provide that includes a body having an underside; a plurality of conducting members for transferring electronic signals; and at least two alignment pins mounted perpendicularly on the underside. Each of the alignment pins has a flexible portion that is more easily bendable than the other portions.
Abstract:
A Tape-Automated-Bonding (TAB) package includes a resilient polyimide layer that supports a metal leadframe. A microelectronic circuit die is mounted in a hole in the polyimide layer and interconnected with inner leads of the leadframe. The TAB package is adhered to a support member having spacers that abut against the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) on which the package is to be mounted and provide a predetermined spacing between the leadframe and the surface. Outer leads that protrude from the leadframe are bent into a shape so as extend, in their free state, toward the surface at least as far as the spacers. The package and support member assembly is placed on the PCB surface, and the combination of the weight of the assembly, the resilience of the leads and the preset standoff height enable the leads to resiliently deform so that the spacers abut against the surface and the leads conformably engage with the surface for soldering or other ohmic connection to conjugate bonding pads on the surface. The support member can be formed with lead retainers around which the leads extend to form loops that resiliently and conformably engage with the surface as the assembly is lowered thereon. The support member maintains coplanarity, adds weight to the package, pre-sets the standoff to protect the formed outer leads during surface mounting and enables the package to be shipped without a separate carrier.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device having a package of a single in-line type includes a semiconductor chip, a package body that accommodates the semiconductor chip therein and defined by a pair of opposing major surfaces and a plurality of interconnection leads held by the package body to extend substantially perpendicularly to a bottom surface. Each of the interconnection leads consists of an inner lead part located inside the package body and an outer lead part located outside the package body, the outer lead part being bent laterally at a boundary between the inner part and the outer part, in one of first and second directions that are opposite from each other and substantially perpendicular to the opposing major surfaces of the package body. A plurality of support legs extend laterally at the bottom surface of the package body for supporting the package body upright when the semiconductor device is placed on a substrate.
