  • Patent number: 6724081
    Abstract: A replaceable integrated circuit device which replaces the connecting socket, the interposer and the pins in prior art with plural solder balls on the bottom of the integrated circuit package contacting and connecting the corresponding contact pad on the circuit board for electrical conduction. The contacting surface of the solder balls and the corresponding contact pad can be made as plane or as curve as possible to increase the contacting area. More over, there are many buckling apparatus placed on the circuit board to buckle the integrated circuit package and the circuit board firmly and to provide the extra downward force to make the solder balls and the corresponding contact pad contact and connect each other tightly. In the present invention, for the solder balls contacting the contact pads of the circuit board directly, which reduce the space that a connecting socket used in prior art and improve the usage ratio of the layout on a circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6699046
    Abstract: A pin grid array integrated circuit connecting device which including a substrate, a sliding slice, a guiding frame and a driving apparatus. Said substrate further includes multiple holes to hold pins of a integrated circuit package, multiple conductive positioning components in the holes to hold said pins and connect said pins electrically, circuit device with proper circuit layout and multiple electrical connecting spots on the bottom of said substrate which connecting said multiple conductive positioning components thru said circuit device. The extra electronic components placed on said substrate will provide the additional function. Said sliding slice is placed on the top of said substrate and can be moved relatively. Multiple holes are placed on said sliding slice and positioned correspondingly to the holes on said substrate. Said guiding frame is placed on at least the two opposite sides of said substrate which guide said sliding move linearly along the extension of said guiding frame.

  • Publication number: 20030143884
    Abstract: The invention provides a pin-typed electric connection device, which provides an electric connection with a circuit board having a circuit layout and several electronic elements. The pin-typed electric connection device includes: a base seat, a gliding seat, and an actuating mechanism. The base seat makes an electric connection with the circuit board. On the top surface of the base seat, there is one blocking-and-fixing portion. The gliding seat is placed on the top surface side of the base seat by a relatively gliding manner. There is one insetting-and-placing portion at an appropriate position of the gliding seat in corresponding to the blocking-and-fixing portion. The actuating mechanism is brought along with the blocking-and-fixing portion and the insetting-and-placing portion. The gliding seat is driven by the actuating mechanism to proceed an appropriately linear gliding displacement.

  • Patent number: 6569712
    Abstract: An improved structure of a ball-grid array (BGA) package substrate and processes for producing thereof are disclosed, wherein one side of the BGA substrate has a single pattern layer for connecting with solder balls and a heat sink layer is bonded to the other side of the substrate. The heat sink layer provides not only heat dissipation for the substrate, but also patterns for power and/or for ground, so as to diminish the dimension required for the patterns for power and/or for ground on the pattern layer of the substrate. The solder balls for power and/or for ground of the substrate are connected with the heat sink layer through electrically and thermally conductive via holes plugged with conductive paste.
