Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit board is constituted with a first insulation film covering a first insulating resist layer, a second insulation film covering a second insulating resist layer and a printed circuit formed between the first insulating resist layer and the second insulating resist layer, and a terminal of an electronic component is disposed on the printed circuit, and the second insulation film is pressed and heated.
Abstract:
Low dielectric absorption component connection points are created on a printed circuit board by cutting apertures in the board surrounding the points, leaving only narrow stems still connecting the resulting island to the board.
Abstract:
A central region of the bottom surface of a resin in which a diode chip and a base end portion of each of two lead terminals electrically connected to the chip is burning-treated by irradiating a laser beam in order to remove fat and oil existing in the bottom surface. Thereby, the deterioration of adhesive strength of an adhesive agent for fixing the bottom surface of the resin to a circuit board is prevented.
Abstract:
A rechargeable battery is utilized in many kinds of electrical appliances. However, as the battery contains harmful substances such as cadmium, it is not desired to discard the electrical appliances with the rechargeable battery from a standpoint of prevention of environmental pollution. An electrical appliance powered by an incorporated rechargeable battery of the present invention is capable of effectively engaging a tool for separating the battery from the appliance. That is to say, at least one of negative and positive electrodes of the rechargeable battery is connected to a terminal strip by spot welding. An electrical power of the battery is supplied to a circuit for operating the appliance through the terminal strip. The terminal strip also has an opening which is formed so as to engage a tool for separating the battery from the terminal strip. Therefore, when the appliance is discarded, the battery can be easily and safety separated form the electrical appliance by applying an external force to the tool engaged into the opening.
Abstract:
An electrical device includes an electrical component encased in encasement material with leads electrically coupled to the component and extending through the encasement material for attachment to an electrical circuit. The leads include an internal region plated with solder for attachment to the component, an external region plated with solder for electrically coupling the component to a circuit board, and an intermediate region between the internal and external regions which is devoid of solder and which is positioned to be in contact with the encasement material to define an unplated interface between the lead and the encasement material. Leads having a center region devoid of solder plating may be formed by providing a lead frame, with selectively plated and punched regions of the lead frame to form the internal and external lead portions, plating the internal and external lead portions with solder and thereafter punching the center unplatted region to provide a plurality of leads having a center unplatted region. Components are thereafter electrically coupled to the solder plated internal portions of the leads on the lead frame with the leads and attached electrical components encased in an encasement material so that the encasement material is in direct contact with the unplatted center region of the leads.
Abstract:
A stacked packaging assembly for a plurality of integrated circuit devices employs a web of flexible interconnect material folded into a `layered` arrangement of parallel web fingers onto which a plurality of integrated circuit devices are surface-mounted. The leads of the integrated circuit devices are attached to interconnect links of the flexible interconnect web. A plurality of heat sink plates are interleaved with the folded web fingers of the stack, so as to engage the integrated circuit devices mounted on the web fingers. The heat sink plates are retained by thermally conductive spacer blocks along their edges. The spacer blocks are clamped together in a compact laminate structure, so as to form a rigid support which relieves mechanical stresses at the folds of the web fingers.
Abstract:
Pin-shaped or flat-plate-shaped parallel terminals of an electronic or piezoelectric component for being inserted in through holes formed in a printed circuit board. The terminals are electrically connected to electrodes of the electronic component and arranged substantially parallel to each other. Each of the terminals includes a bent portion formed at a location along an axis of each terminal so as to project at least partially in a direction perpendicular to that, and the bent portions are generally at an imaginary surface defined by the terminals.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a chip type capacitor characterized by comprising a capacitor having lead wires derived from a terminal thereof and a sheathing frame having an accommodating space compatible with a dimension of an external shape of said capacitor, wherein a protuberance of a height substantially identical to the dimension of an external diameter of the lead wires of the capacitor is provided on the underside of the sheathing frame and the lead wires of the capacitor accommodated in the sheathing frame are bent alongside from an end of the aperture of the sheathing frame to the underside of the sheathing.
Abstract:
A surface mounting method which utilizes an adhesive component to mount the electrical components to a printed circuit board instead of solder and which includes the use, between the contacting surfaces, of a flowable, corrosion-resistant material which bridges contact imperfections and penetrates surface films. The method may also be implemented to connect two electrical conductors.
Abstract:
A UHF oscillator circuit includes a plurality of first leadless, or "chip", surface mounted components machine positioned on a first side of a printed circuit (PC) board and a plurality of second lead-bearing components mounted on a second side of the PC board and coupled in circuit through the PC board to the chip components in an arrangement which substantially reduces circuit fabrication costs. Comprised of a majority of automatically positioned surface mounted chip components and making use of a minimum number of lead mounted discrete components, the low Q values of the surface mounted components are compensated for by an external surface mounted feedback capacitor coupled across the collector-emitter junction of a common base transistor to provide oscillator tuning over a frequency range greater than an octave.
