Abstract: A method for assembling a bundle cable connector assembly that eliminates bird caging, wire threads extruding through a connector pin, loose wire threads, dielectric shield shrinking, etc. The method includes stripping the wire to create a birdcage preventative zone and an exposed tip with a crimping zone therebetween, and tinning the exposed wire at the birdcage preventative zone and the tip. The method then includes inserting the wire into a connector pin, and crimping the pin to the wire at the crimping zone using heat so that the tinning solder melts. The method then includes mounting the pin to a connector body and mounting a wire-locking device to the connector body to lock the pin to the connector body.

Abstract: Ultra-high speed semiconductors that are usually very thin and therefore very fragile still require connection to a circuit board and a heat transfer pathway. Ultra-high speed circuits and semiconductor devices are provided with a carrier plate formed on the backside of a wafer or substrate by a variety of deposition methods. The carrier plate is a series of metal layers, each being selected to enable the attachment of a relatively thick copper carrier plate to the backside of the substrate or wafer.

Abstract: Protection against x-ray radiation is provided by a thin layer of a zinc-based alloy. An electronics component housing and lid are made to include a base of a lightweight alloy, a thin coating of the zinc-based alloy and an exterior finish metal layer. The zinc-based alloy provides excellent radiation protection and other advantages, without a significant weight penalty.
