摘要:
A method and an apparatus align and attach a leadless surface mount component (402) including a termination at each end of the component (402). The termination has bottom (704) and end (702) portions for attaching to a corresponding pad on a substrate (102) by a reflow solder process (1200). A pad arrangement (100) is formed including two opposite pads (108), each pad (108) occupying a tri-oval-shaped area. The tri-oval-shaped area includes an elliptical area (110) substantially centered under the bottom portion (704) of the corresponding termination of the component (402) when the component (402) is aligned with the pad arrangement (100), and an arcuate area (112) contiguous with the elliptical area (110) and extending towards the opposite pad (108) in a central lengthwise direction. A solder paste (202) is applied to the elliptical area (110), and thereafter reflowed, whereby solder (302) in the solder paste (202) liquefies and flows onto the arcuate area (112), thereby facilitating alignment of the component (402) with the pad arrangement (100).

The method for dispensing liquid on a substrate includes providing a plate (108) having a plurality apertures (110). These apertures (110) conform to the pattern of a plurality of pads (104, 106) of at least one component of a substrate (102). The apertures (110) are filled with the liquid to be dispensed, and are then aligned with the plurality of pads (104, 106) on the substrate (102). The liquid is simultaneously transferred out of the apertures (110)and onto the plurality of pads (104, 106) using a blower (112 ).
摘要:
A mounting pad arrangement (FIG. 5) improves reliability of placement of a surface mount component. A first pad array is disposed throughout an area on the surface (308) of a substrate (202), the area having four outside corners. The first pad array includes contact pads (502) arranged in a first linear grid pattern, and eight aligning pads (504,506,510,514,518), larger than the contact pads (502). Two aligning pads (504,506,510,514,518) are near each of the four outside corners. Each aligning pad (504,506,510,514,518) is positioned off center with respect to the first linear grid pattern such that a tangential line (608,610,612,614) can be drawn between an innermost point of the aligning pad (504,506,510,514,518) and corresponding innermost points of the contact pads (502) that are collinear on the first linear grid pattern. A second pad array (406) is disposed on the surface mount component and arranged in a second linear grid pattern that aligns with the first linear grid pattern. Eight pads of the second pad array (406) also align with points of intersection of the first linear grid pattern that fall within each of the eight aligning pads (504,506,510,514,518). Each pad of the second pad array (406) is equal in size to any other pad of the second pad array (406). Solder (312) is disposed between and contacting each pad of the first and second pad arrays.

摘要:
A printed circuit board providing RF shielding. An electrically insulating material serves as a substrate (10) with two opposed sides. At least one side of the substrate (10) has an electrically conductive layer (12) formed in a pattern that defines a printed circuit. An insulating dielectric layer (14) covers at least a portion of the printed circuitry, leaving at least one portion (16) of the circuitry exposed. A radio frequency (RF) shielding layer (18) is formed by depositing an electrically conductive polymer on at least a portion of the insulating dielectric layer. The RF shielding layer (18) also lies over a portion of the exposed electrical circuitry (16), providing electrical connection to the electrically conductive layer (12). The RF shielding layer (18) is formed from a silverfilled polymer thick film ink and is applied by screen printing, stencilling, roller coating, spraying, or other equivalent methods.

The pretinned connection pads (108, 116, 124, 132, 140, 110, 118, 126) are processed using a low residue fluxing agent to enable processing of the first (102) and second (104) substrates and the at least one electronic component (142) in a single operation through an envelope heating device without a requirement for cleaning after reflow.
摘要:
A method for solder deposition by the use of a laser (24), comprises the steps of applying a predetermined thickness of solder (6) to a substrate (2) including over a printed circuitry pattern (4) on the substrate, laser printing (24) to a reflow temperature the solder on the printed circuitry pattern, leaving an un-reflowed portion (9) and then removing (26) the un-reflowed portion of the substrate, leaving solidified solder (7) on the printed circuitry pattern of the substrate. Additionally, if desired, a part (12) having solder pads (14) can be placed on the solder (7) after tack media (13) is placed on the solder. Then the part (12) and substrate can be reflowed in an oven (34).

A pair of foldable footwear, each footwear incorporating a flexible hinge within a sole of the footwear. The flexible hinge consists of a molded flexible hinge section 40, a molded hinge aperture 38, a hinge top slot 34 and a hinge limitation contact section 42. The molded flexible hinge section 40 and molded hinge aperture 38 provides a flexible and reliable member allowing the sole to be folded. The sole can comprise a hinge section along a transverse orientation or a longitudinal orientation about the center of the sole. The hinge limitation contact section 42 ensures that a heel section of the sole remains in a wearable configuration during use.
