Abstract:
An electrical device for soldering to a circuit board with a solder includes a capacitor, a lead frame including a solder dam, and a solder joint electrically coupling the capacitor to the lead frame. The solder dam includes one of a physical barrier to flow or an area of reduced wettability to the solder. The solder dam is between the solder joint and the circuit board. The solder dam is on one or both of a lead portion and main portion of the lead frame. In one embodiment, the first solder dam extends substantially the full width of the first lead portion. The solder dam may be a barrier and/or include a metal oxide. A method of manufacturing the device includes soldering a lead frame to a capacitor with a solder and modifying a surface on the lead frame to include a physical barrier and/or an area of reduced wettability.

A circuit board assembly may include a circuit board, a first electrical terminal, and a layer of solder paste. The circuit board may include a minimum thickness, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side. The first electrical terminal may include a solder tab. The layer of solder paste may be disposed on the first side of the circuit board. The solder tab of the first electrical terminal may extend into the first side of the circuit board but not beyond the second side of the circuit board.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a printed substrate having a novel structure in which substrate terminals can be fixed to the printed substrate without needing a base, and the substrate terminals can be press-fitted into through-holes without applying pressing force to printed wiring and a plating layer in the through-holes, and also provides a printed substrate with terminals that uses this printed substrate. A printed substrate includes through-holes into which the first end portions of substrate terminals are to be inserted. The through-holes each include press-fitting regions into which the first end portion of a substrate terminal is to be press-fitted, and conduction regions arranged so as to oppose the outer circumferential surfaces of the first end portion of the substrate terminal via gaps in directions perpendicular to the axis. Printed wiring is connected to the conduction regions, and a plating layer is adhered to the conduction regions.
Abstract:
An electronic circuit contains a circuit board with conducting tracks to which one or more electronic components with conducting contacts are positioned overlying portions of the conducting tracks and each such electronic component is held in place by a clamp that covers and is contact with the top surface of the electronic components so as to hold their conducting contacts in electrical contact with the conducting tracks of the circuit board. The clamp can include a resilient layer held between the top surface of electronic components and a rigid clamping sheet.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic component having a semiconductor component, particularly a semiconductor chip, and at least one SMD component, a chip carrier with a support platform and with connecting leads. Whereby the semiconductor component, which is connected electrically via chip bonds to bond fingers of the connecting leads is mounted on the support platform and the SMD component connects the support platform to a connecting lead via contact surfaces arranged thereon, a housing, which encloses the semiconductor component, the SMD component, and at least partially the chip carrier. The support platform and the connecting lead in the area of the SMD component are profiled to create barriers in such a way that flowing of a free-flowing material from the contact surfaces connected to the SMD component of the chip carrier both onto the support platform and onto the connecting lead is prevented.
