摘要:
An automatic loading mechanism for use in the manufacture of thin, metallic circuit board panels. The invention includes a lower drum unit which accepts the metallic panels from a conveyor system. The lower drum unit is rotatably mounted within a frame assembly, and includes a plurality of clamps which can automatically receive several metallic panels of varying size. The lower unit includes automatic clamp control means, and has the capability of rotating the panels from a horizontal to a vertical position or vice-versa. The lower drum unit guidingly feeds the metallic panels, through a spline assembly, to an upper unit. The uppper unit includes a plurality of clamps, in diametrically placed pairs, which delicately handle only the peripheral edge of the metallic panels while feeding them automatically into a rack assembly.
摘要:
A method of making a printed circuit board in which conductive thru-holes are formed within two dielectric layers of the board's structure so as to connect designated conductive layers. One hole connects two adjacent layers and the other connects two adjacent layers, including one of the conductive layers connected by the other hole. It is also possible to connect all three conductive layers using one or more holes. The resulting holes may be filled, e.g., with metal plating, or conductive or non-conductive paste. In the case of the latter, it is also possible to provide a top covering conductive layer over the paste, e.g., to serve as a pad or the like on the board's external surface.
摘要:
A circuitized substrate which includes a plurality of contiguous open segments which define facing edge portions within an electrically conductive layer to isolate separate portions of the conductive layer such that the layer can be used for different functions, e.g., as both power and ground elements, within a product (e.g., electrical assembly) which includes the substrate as part thereof. A method of making the substrate, an electrical assembly utilizing the substrate, a multilayered circuitized assembly also utilizing the substrate and an information handling system, e.g., a mainframe computer, are also provided.

The present invention provides a circuit board having burr free castellated plated through holes. In particular, the leading edge of the plated through hole, that tends to produce burr formation during conventional profiling, is removed or pre-profiled to off-set the leading edge of the plated through hole from a surface of the circuit board.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing flush solder fill over recessed pins and over passage holes in circuitized substrates. A substrate carrying rack is immersed in a vessel of molten solder after it has been similarly immersed in a flux bath. While in the molten solder, the rack is vigorously agitated. The rack is then withdrawn from the molten solder and is pivoted upwardly while positioned over the molten solder. Simultaneously, an anvil is rotated from a home position to an impact position at precisely the correct moment. With the solder still molten on the substrate surfaces, the rack is then permitted to descend and is positively biased to strike the anvil thereby dislodging any excess molten solder. A unique supporting arrangement for the rack insures that only a minimum of mass acutally impacts against the anvil while insuring the effectiveness of the operation. Each cantilevered arm from which a rack is suspended is temporarily supported during the impacting operation after which the support member is withdrawn. Also, a solder pot of unique design and operation is provided to assure rapid, complete heating of substrates while eliminating contamination thereof by dross and oxides.

A method of making a circuitized substrate which includes a plurality of contiguous open segments along a side edge portion of the at least one electrically conductive layer thereof, these open segments isolated by a barrier of dielectric material which substantially fills the open segments, e.g., during a lamination process which bonds two dielectric layers of the substrate to the conductive layer.
