Abstract: A printed circuit board in which a braking resistor is implemented that is designed as a clamping path. The clamping path is formed by at least two conductive layers within the printed circuit board that run at a distance from one another and allow a current to flow back and forth.

Abstract: A connecting arrangement. The connecting arrangement includes at least a first connecting partner and a second connecting partner, which are connected integrally together using a solidified solder layer, arranged between the connecting partners, with a solder layer thickness. Each connecting partner has a solder connection surface, which are wettable by the solder material in a molten state. The solder connection surfaces are arranged one above the other and face one another so that both are each contacted at least regionally by the solidified solder layer. Each solder connection surface is configured such that a perpendicular projection of both solder connection surfaces onto one another has at least one definable projection area with mutually overlapping solder connection surface parts. The definable projection area has a peripherally closed edge with at least one contained first cohesive projection sub-area, which is directly adjoined by at least one or more further projection sub-areas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor component (2), comprising a semiconductor chip (3), a housing (5) and a connection point arrangement (10) having at least two rows (14, 16) of planar connection points (12), which are arranged on a bottom side of the housing (5) and can be electrically connected by means of connections to corresponding contacts of a contact arrangement having at least two rows, which contact arrangement is arranged on a printed circuit board, wherein the geometry of the contact arrangement corresponds to the geometry of the connection point arrangement (10), a first distance is specified between two adjacent first connection points (14A) of a first row (14) of the connection point arrangement (10) and a second distance is specified between two adjacent second connection points (16A) of a second row (16) of the connection point arrangement (10), and the second connection points (16A) of the second row (16) are offset to the first connection points (14A) of the first row (14).

Abstract: The invention relates to a printing device for applying a viscous or pasty material onto a support substrate and molding a defined material geometry by means of a template. The template which is provided for application and molding purposes has at least one continuous opening, and the opening side facing the support substrate functions as an application opening surface. Furthermore, the opening, in particular the inner wall thereof, forms an outer border for the material geometry outer surface to be molded. As a whole, the template is designed such that an adhesive force of the viscous or pasty material acting on the inner wall of the opening is overcome by means of a relative movement, in particular a movement relative to the support substrate. The template is advantageously formed as a stack composite of at least two sub-templates adjoining each other in a connection region.
