  • Publication number: 20230337372
    Abstract: In one example, the present application describes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that mitigates galvanic corrosion during an Organic Solderability Preservative (OSP) process used during fabrication of the PCB. The PCB includes a first metal pattern and a second metal pattern electrically coupled to each other, where the first and second metal patterns are different metals. The first metal pattern has a first area that is exposed by a solder mask layer, and the second metal pattern has a second area that is exposed by the solder mask area. A ratio of the first area to the second area is less than a threshold ratio to mitigate the galvanic corrosion of the second metal pattern exposed on the PCB during the OSP process.

  • Publication number: 20230328873
    Abstract: Devices and methods are described for reducing etching due to Galvanic Effect within a printed circuit board (PCB) that may be used in an electronic device. Specifically, a contact trace is coupled to a contact finger that has a substantially larger surface area than the contact trace. The contact finger is configured to couple the electronic device to a host device. The contact trace is electrically isolated from the rest of the PCB circuitry during a fabrication process by a separation distance between an exposed portion of the contact trace and an impedance trace. The contact finger and the exposed portion of the contact trace are plated with a common material to reduce galvanic etching of the contact trace during fabrication. The contact trace is then connected to the impedance trace using a solder joint.

One end of the bit bar (1) is connected to the rear end of the bit grinding portion (2), and the other end of the bit bar (1) is connected to the bit body (3). Two of the three lateral pyramidal faces of the triangular pyramid are respectively used as a first grinding face (21A) and a second grinding face (21B). By means of the ultrasonic osteotome bit, a normal bone-grinding operation can be completed, and since the front end thereof is small in area, the grinding speed is high.
