  • Patent number: 11731207
    Abstract: Systems and methods for applying solder to a pin. The methods comprising: disposing a given amount of solder on a non-wettable surface of a planar substrate; aligning the pin with the solder disposed on the non-wettable surface of the planar substrate; inserting the pin in the solder; and/or performing a reflow process to cause the solder to transfer from the planar substrate to the pin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2022
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
    Assignee: EAGLE TECHNOLOGY, LLC

  • Patent number: 11387617
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a soldered interface between a circuit board and a connector pin. The methods comprise: using a jet paste dispenser to apply first solder into a plated contact cavity formed in the circuit board; using a stencil screen printer to apply second solder (a) over the plated contact cavity which was at least partially filled with the first solder by the jet paste dispenser and (b) over at least a portion of a pad surrounding the plated contact cavity; inserting the connector pin in the plated contact cavity such that the connector pin passes through the second solder and extends at least partially through the first solder; and performing a reflow process to heat the first and second solder so as to create a solder joint between the circuit board and the connector pin.

  • Patent number: 10925151
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a PWB. The methods comprise: forming a Core Substrate (“CS”) a First Via (“FV”) formed therethrough; disposing a First Trace (“FT”) on an exposed surface of CS that is in electrical contact with FV; laminating a first HDI substrate to CS such that FT electrically connects FV via with a Second Via (“SV”) formed through the first HDI substrate; disposing a Second Trace (“ST”) on an exposed surface of the first HDI substrate that is in electrical contact with SV; and laminating a second HDI substrate to the first HDI substrate such that ST electrically connects SV to a Third Via (“TV”) formed through the second HDI substrate. SV comprises a buried via with a central axis spatially offset from central axis of FV and SV. FV and SV have diameters which are smaller than TV's diameter.
