  • Publication number: 20140048997
    Abstract: A device for assembling a camera module includes a base and a buffer layer. The camera module includes a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), a lens module positioned on the FPCB, and a stiffener adhering to the FPCB, opposite to the lens module. The lens module includes a first stepped surface facing away from the FPCB. The base includes a supporting surface for supporting the FPCB and defines a holding groove in the supporting surface for holding the lens module. The holding groove forms a second stepped surface for supporting the first stepped surface. The buffer layer is positioned on the second stepped surface and is elastically compressed when the camera module is subjected to a hot pressing process, which secures the stiffener adhering to the FPCB, to provide relief against, and extend the duration of, various pressures applied to the camera module.

  • Publication number: 20140049684
    Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes a flexible circuit board, a conductive adhesive, and a number of reinforcing plates. The flexible circuit board includes a first surface and a second surface. A number of board pads are mounted on the first surface. The conductive adhesive is coated on the first surface and entirely covers all of the board pads. The reinforcing plates are positioned on the second surface. Each of the reinforcing plates spatially corresponds to a respective one of the board pads. The reinforcing plates provide both physical grounding and stiffening of the circuit board assembly.

  • Publication number: 20140036116
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) assembly includes a FPCB, a dielectric layer, a stiffener, and a conductive adhesive layer. The FPCB includes a surface and a conductive layer positioned on the surface of the FPCB. The conductive layer includes a circuit portion and a grounding portion connected to the circuit portion. The circuit portion is entirely covered by the dielectric layer and the grounding portion is exposed outside the dielectric layer. The conductive adhesive is positioned on the stiffener and includes a first adhering portion and a second adhering portion. A thickness of the second adhering portion is greater than the first adhering portion. A thickness difference between the second adhering portion and the first adhering portion is substantially equal to a thickness the dielectric layer. The first adhering portion is adhered to the dielectric layer and the second adhering portion is adhered to the grounding portion.
