  • Patent number: 7021941
    Abstract: An LGA connector is used to interconnect an LGA package and a printed circuit board. The LGA connector includes an elastomeric body with a plurality of through-holes. Metal films are formed on inner walls of through-holes and splay out around the mouths of their upper and lower openings. The metal films are formed by vacuum metallization, sputtering, chemical plating, electrical plating or PVD. The through-holes have a funnel-like shape to absorb external stresses and redirect the stress to shrink the through-hole diameters. Moreover, the metal films' elastic deformation is larger than conventional metal conductive fillers so as to improve reliability.

  • Publication number: 20060037847
    Abstract: The present invention is a mobile device having an improved roller feel, comprising a hollow metal cylinder, a support and a plurality of terminals disposed firmly on the support. The hollow metal cylinder comprises a plurality of interference areas at an end of the hollow metal cylinder. The support comprises two braces. The terminals comprises a plurality of spring contacts, where the terminals are in contact with the inner surface of the hollow metal cylinder and at least one of the spring contacts stretches into the hollow metal cylinder in a depth not exceeding the scope of the interference areas. When rolling the hollow metal cylinder, the present invention makes the spring contacts create explicit and regular stress variations to produce a sense of feel. The interactions between the hollow metal cylinder and the spring contacts are enhanced and the sense of feel is more obvious; and the effect of durability is improved.

  • Patent number: 6967293
    Abstract: The present invention is a roller construction module having an error prevention structure, comprising a base; a roller disposed in said base; two terminals at two opposite ends of the base to be electrically connected with a metal ring in the roller; a first and a second plungers on the bottom surface of the base; a post between the first and the second plungers; a third plunger on the position at the opposite side to the post on the bottom surface; and a first and a second protecting rods at two opposite ends near the third plunger. Based on the above-said structure, the switch at the left or the right side of the roller construction module can be respectively activated, and another switch, at the middle area of the mobile device, can be prevented from being activated simultaneously so that error prevention is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6872082
    Abstract: A land grid array includes a flat-plate connector plastic housing having a plurality of terminal grooves, and a plurality of terminals having a pair of contact points and disposed in the various terminal grooves, wherein the contact points serve as connecting structures between a circuit board and another circuit board, or between an integrated circuit and a circuit board. Each terminal is formed by bending an integral metal plate, and has a fixing portion, a flexible portion and a signal transmission portion. The terminal is capable of reducing overall stress, such that the signal transmission portion is easily deformed without leaving permanent deformation. Meanwhile, wiping motions by the contact points are performed between a circuit board and another circuit board, or between an integrated circuit and a circuit board for removing oxidized thin-films on contact surfaces involved.
