  • Publication number: 20180273809
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-layered anisotropic conductive adhesive including an upper conductive adhesive layer, a conductive fabric layer with two sides and a lower conductive adhesive layer, wherein one side of the conductive fabric layer is plated with metal, and the total thickness of the multi-layered anisotropic conductive adhesive is 40 to 60 ?m. In the application of a flexible printed circuit, reinforced parts, formed by laminating multi-layered anisotropic conductive adhesive with steel or polyimide-type stiffener, can effectively prevent the deformation of installed parts due to warping, and ensure the good hole filling, good direct grounding effect, and good shielding performance. Therefore, the multi-layered anisotropic conductive adhesive of the present disclosure has good electrical properties, good adhesive strength, better tin soldering, reliability and flame resistant. The disclosure further provides a method of producing the multi-layered anisotropic conductive adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20180200935
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mold movement control mechanism which is suitable for being assembled in mold to drive the plates of the mold to move. The mold movement control mechanism has a rotatable engaging member and two moving members. In one predetermined travel section, the engaging member is kept unable to rotate. The moving members are then engaged and moved together by the engaging member. After the moving members and the engaging member are moved across the predetermined travel section, the engaging member become rotatable, and the moving members are moved independently. Thus, the mold movement control mechanism can control the positions and travel paths of the moving members without spring. Manufacturing tolerance and maintenance cost could be both lowered.

  • Patent number: 9590378
    Abstract: A USB 3.0 connector includes an insulative body, a plurality of first and second terminals, and an outer shell covering the insulative body. The insulative body includes a base that has a base upper wall, a base lower wall, and two base sidewalls. The base lower wall has a rear end notched in a frontward direction to form a plurality of alternating shallow and deep notches to position first and second legs of the first and second terminals, which are bent downwardly. The alternating shallow and deep notches space the first legs apart from the second legs, respectively. The number of component parts for assembly is therefore reduced.
