  • Publication number: 20060226199
    Abstract: A system and method for soldering flat flexible cable to an electronic substrate using lead-free solder is disclosed. The method comprises bending conductive end portions of the flat flexible cable and inserting the bent conductive end portions of the flat flexible cable through slots that extend through the thickness of the electronic substrate. In so doing, a segment of the conductive end portion will protrude through the thickness of the substrate. The method further comprises of heating the flat flexible cable to a temperature of approximately 100° C. and then applying the lead-free solder to the area where the end portion protrudes through the thickness of the substrate for a time period of approximately 5 to 9 seconds.

  • Patent number: 5759669
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a new apparatus and method for screening using porous backing material. More particularly, the invention encompasses an apparatus that uses a porous backing material which is adhered to a green sheet during the screening process. Basically, a backing layer having a very high porosity is adhered to a green sheet, while the green sheet is screened. During the drying process of the green sheet some of the screening fluids are absorbed by the porous backing layer, which allows the screened vias of the green sheet to have a smooth surface.
