Abstract:
An electrical assembly includes a support element which has a body and a surface formed on the body, an electrical functional element arranged on the support element, and a temperature monitoring device arranged on the support element for monitoring a temperature on the electrical functional element. The temperature monitoring device includes a temperature sensor arranged on the surface of the support element, a physical contact element arranged on the surface of the support element, and at least one heat-conducting device embedded in the body of the support element. The at least one heat-conducting device extends at least in sections below the temperature sensor in the body and is thermally connected to the physical contact element via at least one through-connection. The physical contact element is thermally coupled to a coupling surface operatively connected to the electrical functional element.
Abstract:
A crimp terminal-equipped flexible printed circuit board includes: a first flexible printed circuit board having a base film and a circuit provided on a surface of the base film and made of metal foil; multiple crimp terminals including crimp pieces crimped to penetrate the first flexible printed circuit board and bent to bite into part of the circuit; and an insulating reinforcing film partially integrally provided on an area of the base film where the multiple crimp pieces penetrate.
Abstract:
A single element electrical connector includes a single conductive contact element formed into a cage structure having a wire insert end and a wire contact end along a longitudinal centerline axis of the connector. The cage structure defines an upper pick-up surface having a surface area suitable for placement of a suction nozzle of a vacuum transfer device, as well as a pair of contact tines biased towards the centerline axis to define a contact pinch point for an exposed core of a wire inserted into the connector. A contact surface is defined by a member of the cage structure for electrical mating contact with a respective contact element on a component on which the connector is mounted.
Abstract:
A packaging structure for assembling to a printed circuit board (PCB) comprises a captive screw having a screw head, a threaded shank and a sleeve; and a fixture pressing against the screw head for a part of the threaded shank to expose from a distal end of the sleeve, and clamping the fixture on the sleeve.

Abstract:
A packaging method for assembling a captive screw to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes the steps of providing a captive screw having a screw head, a threaded shank and a sleeve; pressing a fixture toward the screw head for a part of the threaded shank to exposed from a distal end of the sleeve, and then clamping the fixture on the sleeve; providing a PCB having through holes and a layer of solder provided thereon; using a tool to pick up the fixture and the captive screw and align the threaded shank with one through hole on the PCB; releasing the fixture and the captive screw from the tool for a flange at the distal end of the sleeve to extend into the through hole; heating, melting and then cooling to harden the solder layer, so that the sleeve is fixedly held to the PCB; and removing the fixture.
Abstract:
A terminal structure for a vehicle-mounted motor includes a motor body having a motor terminal 28 connected to a coil, and a circuit body 5 holding a circuit board 18 for controlling a rotation of the motor body and is assembled in the motor body, wherein a stress relaxation section 35 is provided in an intermediate of an intermediate conductor 34, in order to reduce stress acting on the intermediate conductor 34 connecting the motor terminal 28 and the circuit board 18 and to thereby improve the conductive reliability of electrical joint.
Abstract:
Methods and means for embedding electronic components, such as LED-based light sources and associated control circuitry, into molded or continuously cast surface materials (e.g., material manufactured under the trademark CORIAN®). During the manufacture of the surface material, the components can be held in position using a scaffold or frame constructed of a sacrificial material, the same material as the finished surface material and/or another material used in the manufacture of the finished product. The embedded components can include control circuitry, e.g., printed circuit boards, for separately controlling each component, power conductors and data busses. Conductors and/or busses can be in the form of conductive rails, wire mesh or sheets. Access to the conductors in the finished product can be made by a number of methods, including but not limited to sanding, grinding, drilling into, screwing into, and/or inserting pins into the finished material.
Abstract:
Removable circuits and related mounting hardware for removably connecting circuits to a vehicle's control system. Circuits and connectors form an addressable assembly which may be enclosed in a flowable material.
Abstract:
An illuminant structure, adapted to a liquid crystal display, is provided. The illuminant structure includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a conducting line and a connector. The connector is mounted on the back side of the PCB and electrically connected to the conducting line. A socket is mounted on the top side of PCB and electrically connected to the conducting line. A lamp having an external electrode is bracketed by and electrically connected to the socket.
