Publication number: 20230264880Abstract: A packing member includes first and second members. The first member includes a first base surface portion intersecting a first direction and first and second side surface portions that are folded to intersect a second direction from both ends of the first base surface portion, the second member includes a second base surface portion, and third and fourth side surface portions that are folded to intersect a third direction from both ends of the second base surface portion. The third and fourth side surface portions are folded on the same side as the first and second side surface portions. The second member is coupled to the first member so that the first base surface portion is positioned between a third folding line and a tip end of the third side surface portion and positioned between a fourth folding line and a tip end of the fourth side surface portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: KENGO SAKAI, KAZUNARI IWAI, TAIJI WATANABE

Patent number: 11013118Abstract: Provided is an electronic component mounting structure and method for mounting electronic components on the side of a printed circuit board by means of simple fabrication and enlarging the surface area for mounting electronic components. A cut face of a conductive plating layer, which is obtained by cutting along a via in which a conductive plating layer covering an inner wall face of a via hole is electrically connected to a conductive pattern layer of the printed circuit board, is exposed at a cut end face and used as a land pattern which is solder-connected to a mount connecting portion of the electronic component. The end face at which the land pattern is exposed is a surface parallel to the side of the printed circuit board, and therefore electronic components can be mounted on the end face parallel to the side.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: JUJUBE LLCInventor: Taiji Watanabe
