摘要:
A total cost estimate is calculated based on a set of printed circuit board (PCB) design parameters. The set of PCB design parameters are received, and PCB attributes are extracted from them. Based on the PCB attributes the PCB is classified and a cost equation is calculated. The cost equation is calculated based on a regression analysis of one or more of the PCB attributes. Once the cost equation is calculated, the total cost is computed based on the cost equation.

A system and method for performing a test for characterizing high frequency operation of PCB boards. More particularly, a system and methodology is provided to implement a time-domain short pulse propagation (SPP) technique on the production line, on large, multi-layer, product-level PCB boards, for large volume testing, by people who are not familiar with advanced, delicate, measurement techniques, who need robust test facilities, and cannot afford the time or expense of other lab-type approaches.
摘要:
A printed circuit connector terminal pad coating technique is disclosed which functions as a single universal pad surface which supports multiple electrical connection practices including wirebonding, soldering, and wear resistant, pad on pad mechanical connection. The tri-plate surface treatment includes an initial diffusion resistant coating of nickel; an intermediate layer of hard, wear resistant noble or semi-noble metal that provides pad on pad connector reliability and affords a metallurgically stable solder joints and wirebond interfaces; and a final coating of soft gold. The intermediate layer may be pure palladium having a nominal thickness of 35 microinches or a layer of gold, hardened by cobalt, nickel, iron or a combination of these dopants to effect a hardness of 200 to 250 (Knoop scale). The use of a common surface treatment for the multiple attachment processes is implemented with a single masking step, rather than a sequence of selective masking, plating and stripping operations. In the printed circuit environment, the masking is provided by the final covering that encloses, seals, and electrically insulates the conductors in a circuit board application or in the instance of a flexcable, the adhesive coated flexible coverlay the covers and seals the copper conductor elements while exposing the conductor terminal pads.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for implementing electrical connection of two large circuit cards through multiple discrete land grid array (LGA) sites. Each of the circuit cards includes a plurality of LGA sites. A first circuit card includes a plurality of LGA interposers locally aligned at the respective LGA sites of the first circuit card. A board-to-board connection hardware assembly connecting a second circuit card to the first circuit card includes a elongated carrier defining a cavity receiving a plurality of load springs coupled to an associated bearing block for loading and maintaining flatness of the LGA sites.
