    摘要: There is disclosed herein a surface mount printed circuit board having a substrate, at least one surface mount device, at least two mounting pads per device, solder joints connecting the terminations of the device to their respective mounting pads, at least one rectangular lifter pad on the substrate amid the mounting pads, and a solder mass on each lifter pad in contact with the bottom surface of the device. The inner and outer extensions of the mounting pads, the size, number, and shape of the lifter pads, and the amounts of solder deposited on the mounting and lifter pads are designed such that the solder joint has preferably convex outer fillets, the device is maintained at a predetermined height above the mounting pads, the inner fillet angle is maintained above a predetermined minimum angle to increase solder joint crack initiation time, and the overall solder joint crack propagation length is increased. An alternate embodiment also includes plugged vias under the lifter pads and/or mounting pads, with gas pockets trapped between the solder masses/solder joints and the plugged vias. This trapped gas pocket provides additional buoyant force upon the SMD during reflow.

    摘要: A footprint, and method for forming the footprint, of the type for mounting a surface mount component having a heatsink which defines a first registration edge thereon. The substrate pad is positioned on the substrate for registrated engagement with the heatsink. The substrate pad has an area substantially larger than the area of the heatsink to improve the dissipation of thermal energy. The substrate pad includes notches for defining registration edges which are juxtaposed with corresponding registration edges on the heatsink when the electronic component is in proper alignment with the substrate pad. Surface tension forces produced by melting solder interposed between the heatsink and the substrate pad act upon the registration edges to maintain proper alignment of the component with the substrate pad.

    摘要: A method for improving the reliability of solder joints is disclosed for use in reflow soldering. In the method, a predetermined amount of solder is applied to at least two solder pads on a circuit board and a component having at least two terminals is fixed in relation to the solder pads. The solder is melted so that the component floats to a predetermined height above the solder pads and, when solidified, the solder fillet formed at each terminal holds the component a predetermined height above the circuit board and forms a convex shape.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an electronic circuit assembly that includes a number of electrically interconnected flexible films, each flexible film having a flexible electrical wiring circuit. The electrical wiring circuits are interconnected between film layers and the film layers are adhered to a molded backing structure. A first flexible film is formed with a pattern of flexible electrical wiring circuits created on at least one surface thereof. The first flexible film has a passage that provides an electrical connection through the flexible film. A second flexible film is formed with a pattern of flexible electrical wiring circuits created on a least one surface thereof. The second flexible film has an electrical interconnect feature that connects with the electrical passage on the first film and electrically connects the first film with the second film. The first flexible film is overlaid juxtaposed the second flexible film so that the passage is aligned adjacent the electrical interconnect feature. The first and second flexible films are placed within an open mold. The mold is closed and a plastic material is injected within the mold adjacent at least one surface of the first and second flexible films. The molten plastic adheres to the first and second flexible films and forms an integral backing structure. The backing structure and first and second flexible films together form the circuit assembly.
