  • Publication number: 20230056822
    Abstract: A printed circuit board connecting device (1) for connecting printed circuit boards (3, 5) includes a non-conductive plate (21) having a top side and a bottom side, and a plurality of interface connections (23) which are arranged in the plate (21) so as to be spaced apart from one another. Each interface connection (23) has grouped-together conductors (41) which extend through the plate (21) and which are laterally enclosed by the plate material and the end regions of which protruding on the top side and lower side from the plate (21) can be fixed to interfaces (13) of two printed circuit boards (3, 5) to be connected. Therefore, the conductors (41) form both a mechanical and an electrical connection between the interfaces (13) of the printed circuit boards (3, 5).

  • Publication number: 20170265305
    Abstract: Disclosed is a printed circuit board having at least one power semiconductor soldered thereon and, as a thermal fuse, a spring having two contact arms fastened to solder pads of the printed circuit board by soldered connections. The spring is under mechanical stress such that at least one of the two contact arms moves away from one of the solder pads by spring force as soon as the soldered connection loses its strength and fails due to overheating. The soldered connection of at least one of the contact arms loses its strength at a lower temperature and is formed from a different alloy than the soldered connection that connects the power semiconductor to the printed circuit board. A method for populating a printed circuit board is also described.
