Abstract:
A method for producing an electric contact extending from a copper foil, comprises steps of fixing a cover lay having a hole of a diameter smaller than that of the copper foil of a predetermined size to the copper foil, and plating the hole of the cover lay so as to reach the upper surface of the cover lay as a first step; installing a dry film having a hole of a diameter smaller than that of the hole of the cover lay onto the cover lay, and plating the hole of the dry film so as to reach the upper surface of the dry film as a second step; and after removal of the dry film, as a third step further plating the plate layers obtained in the first and second steps. The electric contacts produced by the method have a predetermined height which is as high as possible and uniform without causing any defective connection between them. In a method for producing an electrical connector, diameters of the holes of the dry film in plating are changed depending upon positions of the electric contacts.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes an elastomer in the form of a layer, and a plurality of fine conductive wires embedded in the elastomer and extending rectilinearly in vertical directions to front and rear surfaces of the elastomer. The fine conductive wires have an overall length substantially the same as or slightly larger than the thickness of the elastomer so that both the ends of the fine conductive wires extend from the front and rear surfaces of the elastomer. The electrical connector includes a flexible printed circuit board connected to the fine conductive wires. The flexible printed circuit board includes at least three electric contacts arranged substantially concentrically around and electrically connected to each of the fine conductive wires. With this arrangement, the electrical connector enables a stable inspection for integrated circuit pads in a manner which minimizes irregularities in repeatedly measured values of electric resistance and skew.
Abstract:
A shielded electrical connector in which the shield cover is formed as two U-shaped parts, each of which includes an integral clamping portion for clamping with a shielded connector. The clamping portions are connected to the cover parts by leg portions. An insulator containing electrical contacts is sandwiched between the cover parts after the cable is attached to the contacts. The cover parts are compressed together, following which the clamp portions are clamped about the cable to provide electrical connection between the cable and the shield cover.
Abstract:
A connector includes contact conductors each having two contact portions and a conductor connecting the two contact portions arranged on a flexible printed circuit board folded back so that the contact portions arranged its front and rear faces can be connected to contacts of connecting objects, pushing device provided on the circuit board, and an elastic member arranged between the contact portions on the front and rear faces. Another connector includes a flexible printed circuit board not being folded back, an elastic member held on the side of the circuit board opposite from the contact portions, and at least one pushing member for pushing the circuit board and the connecting objects. A pushing jig includes pushing portions provided on a base material to be pushed against connecting objects, an elastic member held on the base material opposite side of the pushing portions, and at least one pushing member for pushing the base material and the connecting objects. With these constructions, a reduced overall distance between the substrates is possible, and a narrower pitch and stable connection can be obtained.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes an insulator and a plurality of contacts supported by the insulator. The insulator formed of an insulating plastic material is formed with a plurality of contact insertion apertures for inserting the contacts. Surfaces of the insulator around the contact insertion apertures are metallized, while the contact insertion apertures are independently electrically insulated. With this arrangement, substantially high shielding effect and sufficiently high speed information transmission are effectively accomplished.
Abstract:
A method for connecting connection members to through-holes of a board by soldering is disclosed. The board is press holded on its one side by a jig, and paste solder or solder in paste form is forced to flow into each of the through-holes of the board from the opposite side by a paste solder printing method using a printing mask. The printing mask is then removed under the condition of the paste solder being filled in the through-holes. After the connection members have been inserted in the through-holes of the board or have been urged against the board on the opposite side, the connection members are further connected to the board by reflow soldering, while the board is still continuously restrained or press holded on the one side by the jig. In this manner, it become possible to form any desired shapes of a plurality of solder connection portions connected to the board on the one side. As a result, the solder connection portions can be formed to be a predetermined height to prevent them from interfering deformation of contacts to provide a constant contact pressure of the contacts, thereby eliminating defective or failed connection.
Abstract:
A surface mounting method for mounting an electronic part having a great number of contacts onto a circuit board. A jig provided with dummy contacts is prepared whose size, number and arrangement are substantially the same as those of contacts of an electronic part to be mounted on a circuit board. The dummy contacts of the jig are then fitted with mating contacts which are to be fitted with the contacts of the electronic part. Thereafter, the jig provided with the dummy contacts fitted with the mating contacts is mounted onto the circuit board at a predetermined position thereon. The mating contacts are then mounted and fixed onto the circuit board. The jig is then removed from the circuit board. The contacts of the electronic part are then fitted with the mating contacts fixed to the circuit board. As an alternative, double ended socket contact members are prepared, each having socket contacts on both ends. Pin contacts of a circuit board are fitted in the socket contacts of the double ended socket contact members on their one ends and then pin contacts of an electronic part are fitted in the socket contacts of the members on their other ends.
Abstract:
An electrical connector for a coaxial flat cable, includes pairs of contacts, each consisting of signal contacts and ground contacts and an insulating body for securely holding the contacts. Connection terminals of the pairs of the contacts are arranged in every pair in a row in a flat plane so that the signal contacts and the ground contacts are alternately arranged. The contact portions of the signal contacts and the contact portions of the ground contacts are arranged in every pair in one row and also the other row. The contact portions of the signal contacts of two adjacent pairs are arranged in different rows and the contact portions of the ground contacts of the two adjacent pairs are arranged in different rows. In another aspect, the contact portions of the pairs of contacts of odd numbers and even numbers are arranged in every pair in one row and also in the other row, respectively, so that the signal contacts and the ground contacts are alternately arranged. The contact portions of the signal contacts and the ground contacts in the one row are substantially in opposition to the contact portions of the ground contacts and the signal contacts in the other row, respectively.
