  • Patent number: 7755911
    Abstract: A printed wiring board which can certainly prevent damage of conductive pattern caused by the terminal. The printed wiring board has a board, a conductive pattern, a through-hole and a non-conductive area. A lead wire of resistance mounted on the printed wiring board is inserted into the through-hole 4. The lead wire projects from a surface of the board, and is bent close to the surface. The non-conductive area is formed into a fan-shaped shape enlarging toward a tip of the lead wire from a center of the through-hole. Because the bent lead wire is arranged on the non-conductive area, the non-conductive area can prevent damage of the conductive pattern which is caused by touching the lead wire to the conductive pattern.

    Abstract: A surface mounting lug terminal formed of a metallic plate having terminal leads and positioning projections can readily be positioned on a printed board with high precision by fitting the positioning projections into positioning cutouts formed in the printed board. The terminal leads of the surface mounting lug terminal can easily be soldered to land patterns on the printed board to secure the surface mounting lug terminal onto the printed board irrespective of the number of terminal leads. The surface mounting lug terminal can be reduced in size, thus to contribute miniaturization of electronic circuits.

  • Patent number: 7712211
    Abstract: A method for packaging integrated circuit chips (die) is described that includes providing a base substrate with package level contacts, coating a base substrate with adhesive, placing dies on the adhesive, electrically connecting the die to the package level contacts, and removing the backside of the base substrate to expose the backside of the package level contacts. Accordingly, an essentially true chip scale package is formed. Multi-chip modules are formed by filling gaps between the chips with an encapsulant. In an embodiment, chips are interconnected by electrical connections between package level contacts in the base substrate. In an embodiment, substrates each having chips are adhered back-to-back with through vias formed in aligned saw streets to interconnect the back-to-back chip assembly.
