Abstract:
This improved surface mount power supply can withstand the rigors of the manufacturing process and still create sturdy and robust connection to a user's circuit card. The open frame power module uses a U-shaped or T-shaped interconnect rather than a spherical interconnect. In one embodiment, the U-shaped interconnect can have a hole through one surface to allow the wicking of solder. The wicked solder provides a sturdier connection that is more likely to survive subsequent reflow processes. The power module is also built on a thicker FR4 board. The thicker board is less likely to warp during subsequent heating.

Abstract:
A resilient electrical connector assembly includes a base PCB and stacked layers of interconnected resilient conductive structures where each structure has at least two resilient conductive strips and at least two conductive contacts. One contact is integrated with a conductive path on the base PCB and another contact pad is positioned to establish a conductive path with a target PCB when the latter is mounted parallel to the base PCB. The resilient conductive strips flex due to a compressive force exerted between the base PCB and target PCB on the stacked layers. The resilient conductive structures are formed by depositing metal to sequentially form each of the stacked layers with one contact being initially formed in engagement with the conductive path on the base PCB.

A circuit board includes a base substrate, a busbar disposed on a mounting surface-side of the base substrate; and an electronic component disposed on the mounting surface-side and including a plurality of terminals, at least one of which is soldered to a component connecting end portion extending from the busbar. The base substrate has an opening into which the component connecting end portion can be inserted. A first insertion portion through which the terminal can be inserted is provided in the component connecting end portion. The busbar is fixed to the base substrate so that the component connecting end portion is inserted into the opening with a soldering surface, on a side of the component connecting end portion where the terminal inserted through the first insertion portion protrudes, positioned closer to a rear surface of the base substrate than the component mounting surface.

Abstract:
First electrode pads formed on one semiconductor package surface include a first reinforcing electrode pad having a surface area larger than that of other first electrode pads. Second electrode pads formed on a printed wiring board on which the semiconductor package is mounted include at least one second reinforcing electrode pad. The second reinforcing electrode pad opposes the first reinforcing electrode pad, and has a surface area greater than that of the other second electrode pads. The first and second electrode pads are connected by solder connection parts. A cylindrical enclosing member encloses an outer perimeter of a solder connection part connecting the first and second reinforcing electrode pads. Increases in the amount of warping of semiconductor devices such as the package substrate and the printed wiring board are suppressed, and the development of solder bridges with respect to adjacent solder connecting parts or adjacent components is reduced.
