  • Patent number: 4675639
    Abstract: A high voltage transformer for a video display apparatus includes a bobbin-wound tertiary winding. The bobbin incorporates integral nonmetallic terminal posts about which the winding segment wire is wound and terminated. The winding segments are interconnected by electrical components. The component leads incorporate a solder coating and are flattened to provide a large bonding area with the wire on the terminal posts. The component lead overlays the winding segment wire and is joined thereto by a fusion bonding process. The fusion bonding removes the wire insulations and melts the component lead solder coating to form a reflow solder joint.

  • Patent number: 4590540
    Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a circuit board on the neck of a cathode ray tube includes a guide member formed in the cathode ray tube base. The guide member is formed to have a surface extending perpendicular to the tube longitudinal axis. The circuit board incorporates a socket having a channel for receiving the guide member for aligning the socket on the tube base. A portion of a locking piece is inserted through a hole in the socket wall in order to abut the perpendicular surface of the guide member to prevent removal of the socket from the tube base. A second portion of the locking piece forms a hook which cooperates with the socket to prevent inadvertent removal of the locking piece.
