Abstract:
A method for making a leadframe includes removing a group of parallel, strip-shaped electrical conductors from a metal sheet, embedding end portions of the conductors in molding compound defining a leadframe body, and separating the conductors from each other, such that portions of the conductors remain encapsulated in the molding compound while other portions remain exterior to the molding compound and define leads of the resulting leadframe.

Abstract:
An electronic device and an electronic component thereof include a main body and several pins. One side of the main body has several recesses. Each of the recesses has a first inner width along a first direction. The first direction is substantially parallel to a long side of the main body. The pins are respectively inserted into the recesses. Each of the pins has a first outer width along the first direction. The first outer width is smaller than the first inner width.
Abstract:
An electronic circuit contains a circuit board with conducting tracks to which one or more electronic components with conducting contacts are positioned overlying portions of the conducting tracks and each such electronic component is held in place by a clamp that is in contact with the top surface of the electronic components so as to hold their conducting contacts in electrical contact with the conducting tracks of the circuit board. The clamp can include a resilient layer held between the top surface of electronic components and a rigid clamping sheet.

Abstract:
An interposer lead provides a connection between an integrated circuit and a circuit board. The interposer lead includes a first leg for interfacing with the circuit board. The interposer lead also includes a second leg disposed generally parallel to the first leg for interfacing with an IC electrical lead extending from the integrated circuit. A connecting portion operatively connects the first leg and the second leg. The interposer lead further includes a lip extending non-parallel from the second leg for limiting movement of the IC electrical lead on the second leg.
Abstract:
A circuit device includes a heat detection component including lead terminals and a heat detection element, a heat-generating electronic component including lead terminals, and a substrate including a wiring pattern, holes, and lands, the heat detection component and the heat-generating electronic component being electrically connected to the substrate through the lead terminals thereof, wherein the lead terminals of the heat detection component are bent into a U-shaped or substantially U-shaped configuration such that the bent lead terminals are partly contacted with the heat-generating electronic component, and the heat-generating electronic component is sandwiched between portions of the lead terminals and the heat detection element of the heat detection component.
Abstract:
A flat wiring material includes a plurality of conductors arranged in parallel, an insulating covering member covering collectively the plurality of conductors while allowing both end portions of the plurality of conductors to be exposed, an engaging member disposed at a position on the covering member and close to at least one of the exposed both end portions of the plurality of conductors and including an insertion portion that is formed at an end portion extending in the width direction for being inserted into and engaged with a through-hole formed on a mounting substrate, and a fixing member fixing the engaging member to the covering member. The insertion portion of the engaging member includes an opening allowing an elastic deformation thereof upon the insertion into the through-hole and a protruding portion for preventing disengagement in a direction opposite to the insertion direction after being inserted into the through-hole.
Abstract:
A pin adjuster for electronic components adjusts and fixes pins of an electronic component while the electronic component is being installed on a circuit board such that the pins correspond in position to and connect to a plurality of contacts on the circuit board, respectively. The pin adjuster includes an insulating body and a plurality of channels. The channels each penetrate the insulating body and have an entry end and an exit end. The entry ends correspond in position to the pins of the electronic component, respectively, and the exit ends correspond in position to the contacts, respectively, such that the pins are adjusted and fixed in place by penetrating the channels, respectively. The pin adjuster enables the pins to be aligned with and connected to the contacts rapidly and precisely, thereby shortening the time taken to mount the electronic component on the circuit board and streamlining manual operation.
