Abstract:
The description relates to a process for connecting an electric connection (10) of an unpacked IC component (15) to a conductive track (35) on a substrate (30). An easily metallisable coating is applied to the surface of an electric connection (10) to be contacted. The surface (10, 20) of the connection (10) to be contacted is arranged at a distance from and facing a land (45) of a conductive track (35) on a substrate (30). At the same time an electrically conductive substance (50) is applied to the land (45) and the surface to be contacted (10, 20) to fill the free space between the two surfaces (10, 20; 45) to be contacted.
Abstract:
A barrel or face-type carbon-segment commutator assembly (12c) for an electric motor includes a segmented commutating surface (22c) defined by an annular array of commutator sector (14c, 18c), each sector including a carbon segment (18c) connected to a respective conductor section (14c). To form the assembly, an annular carbon cylinder (20c) is overmolded onto a copper blank (70c) and radial grooves (54c) are formed in an inside surface of the carbon cylinder opposite the communicating surface. An insulator hub (24c) is overmolded onto the carbon cylinder and into the radial grooves. Slots (56c) are then machined inward from the communicating surface to the insulator-filled grooves to isolate the commutator sectors. The remaining insulator material mechanically interlocks the sectors. In other embodiments, the commutator assembly (100) is formed by soldering a carbon cylinder (142) to conductor sections (102) before overmolding a hub (112) and cutting slots (108) to isolate commutator sectors (106).
Abstract:
A barrel-type carbon-segment commutator assembly (100) for an electric motor includes an annular array of copper conductor sections (102) stamped from a single copper blank. The annular array is overmolded with an electrical-conducting resin-bonded carbon composition (106) that mechanically interlocks the conductor sections and defines an outer cylindrical commutating surface (110). An annular hub (112) is then formed by overmolding an insulator material inside, under, and above the carbon overmold and the conductor section array. The hub insulator material flows into the radial grooves (108) of the carbon overmold and leaves only the outer cylindrical commutating surface exposed.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating at least one via or hole in a multi-layer printed circuit board comprises separately drilling the board layers (3A, 3B, 3C) stacking and laminating the drilled board layers, and then finish drilling the holes (7A, 7B, 7C). The invention also provides a method for correcting artwork to compensate for lamination distortion. Also described is a process for forming interconnection lines on a printed circuit board. The surface of a circuit board substrate (105) is covered with a photoresist layer (107), and the photoresist layer in turn is covered with a halide emulsion layer (109). The emulsion layer (109) is then exposed to a predetermined pattern of white light, and the image developed. The board is then exposed to UV light through the imaged emulsion layer.
Abstract:
In the disclosed method for fabricating corrugated microwave components, a billet assembly is formed of electrically conductive plates (10) sandwitched with chemical etching sensitive spacer material (20) and clamped together (30 and 31). An inside surface (40) is formed in the billet and a mandrel (50) inserted. An outer contoured surface (55) is then formed on the mandrel-billet assembly. The outer surface is then plated (60) to a desired thickness. The mandrel (50) is removed and the spacers (20) chemically etched away leaving the finished component. With the disclosed method, microwave device fabrication for frequencies including 100 GHz and higher is possible.
