    摘要: The field of the manufacture of electronic components, specifically to manufacturing flexible conductive strips having contact pads thereon, wherein a first set of alignment marks are provided on a substrate. Using the first set of alignment marks, several electronic components are formed in selected positions on the substrate. The electronic components may be formed in various groups, with a first group being formed using a first mask then, subsequent groups being formed using subsequent masks. Each of the respective masks are aligned with the first set of alignment marks in order to position the electronic components formed using the masks at the desired locations on the substrate. A second set of alignment marks are produced using the same mask as a set of electronic components that are located on the substrate. Subsequently, when a different set of features is produced, it is positioned using the second set of alignment marks located on the individual parts. Thus, tolerances can be achieved that would normally be possible only in the manufacture of individual parts, while still obtaining the advantages of the economies of scale possible by making many parts on a large sheet.

    摘要: The flexible connector for high density circuit applications comprises a multilayer flexible substrate upon which are formed a plurality of contact pads, in a density required by a particular application. This density may exceed two hundred contact pads per square inch. Contact pads of similar size and configuration are formed on the surface of another device, i.e., circuit board, and provision made to align the contact pads of the connector with those of the circuit board. Micro-pads are formed on the surface of the contact pads on the connector such, that when the connector is brought into contact with the circuit board, and sufficient pressure is applied, the micro-pads make actual electrical contact with the pads of the circuit board. Since the total surface area in contact, namely the sum of the surface areas of the micro-pads, is a small fraction of the total area of the connector, a large pressure is provided at the electrical contact interface even when low pressure is provided to the connector as a whole.

While in the open position, the clamp is positioned over a printed circuit board, with the first and second clamp members aligned for connection to the circuit board. The clamp is then partially closed, to a preloaded position which aligns the electrodes in the clamping assembly with the electrodes on the circuit board. After the initial alignment has occurred, the clamp is firmly fastened to the printed circuit board, to electrically couple the electrodes of the connectors and the clamp to the electrodes on the printed circuit board.

    摘要: A canted coiled spring is used as a highly conductive, high current electrode between a printed circuit board and a conductive strip connected to a selected voltage. A conductive channel member has fixed therein a coil spring made of a highly conductive, metallic material. The canted coiled spring is fixed at each end so that it may be easily slid along an adjacent electrode of the power strip. The channel member holding the canted coiled spring is coupled to a printed circuit board with a clamped, highly conductive contact surface. The use of the coil spring in a channel member connected to a printed circuit board permits the printed circuit board to be easily slid into, and out of electrical contact with power carrying electrodes.

    摘要: Structures and methods for positioning heat sinks in contact with electronic devices are described herein. In one embodiment, a structure for holding a heat sink in contact with an electronic device in accordance with one aspect of the invention includes an electronic device holding portion and a heat sink holding portion. The electronic device holding portion is configured to support the electronic device. The heat sink holding portion is configured to position the heat sink in contact with the electronic device.

In one embodiment, a structure for holding a heat sink in contact with an electronic device includes an electronic device holding portion and a heat sink holding portion. The electronic device holding portion is configured to support the electronic device, and the heat sink holding portion is configured to position the heat sink in contact with the electronic device. The structure can further include a spring holding portion configured to laterally support a coil spring. When the coil spring is laterally supported in the spring holding portion, the coil spring exerts a transverse compression force against the heat sink causing the heat sink to press against the electronic device with a uniform, or an approximately uniform, pressure.
