Patent number: 12439510Abstract: A base plate assembly based on a manufacturing process of a composite circuit board according to the invention has a better load-bearing effect; conductive posts are riveted to the composite circuit board; connecting wires are fixed to upper ends of the conductive posts by means of conductive screws, so that components and the composite circuit board are electrically connected. The assembly process is simplified and the assembly efficiency is improved. Moreover, the test can be carried out as soon as the conductive posts are riveted. In this way, the problem that the defects of the base plate assembly can be discovered only after the components are assembled can be avoided effectively, thereby reducing the generation of defective products and the rework and maintenance rate and ensuring the pass rate of finished products.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2025Date of Patent: October 7, 2025Inventors: Yan Zhao, Yinghao Fu, Ning Shi
