  • Patent number: 6790293
    Abstract: There is provided a solder work material for forming solder-coated circuit boards, which is capable of preventing the malfunction of circuit that may be caused to generate by voltage noises that tend to be generated by the volumetrical expansion of the flux residue in a soldered laminated ceramic capacitor, etc. even under the environments where temperatures fluctuate widely (for example, −40° C. to +85° C.), or that may be caused to generate by voltage noises to be generated by the fluctuation of parasitic capacity between circuits which may be caused to generate due to a flux residue. There is also provided a circuit board having a residual film of flux left thereon after the deposition of the solder work material. This solder work material is formed of a solder paste composition or a resin flux-cored solder, both comprising a flux containing, as a resin component, acrylic resin for preventing the generation of voltage noises in electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 6726780
    Abstract: There is provided a lead-free solder which makes it possible to reliably and accurately perform the inspection of various kinds of defective soldering in the inspection using an image inspection apparatus after the reflow soldering. According to this lead-free solder, the delustering of the metallic luster of fillet is realized in order to minimize the probability of generating a dark portion at the area where no defective soldering is existed and instead to increase the area of whitish portion which can be generated through the irregular reflection of beam. Specifically, this invention provides a lead-free solder comprising an Sn—Ag—Cu-based lead-free solder containing a small quantity of Bi and Sb as an element which is capable of generating a delustering component for minimizing metallic luster of the fillet.

  • Publication number: 20030177865
    Abstract: The invention provides an industrially efficient, low-cost, mass-production system for the process of producing fine solder powders using an in-oil atomization method wherein solder is melted in a heated dispersion medium for fine granulation. Molten solder melted in a solder melting tank and a mixture of a particle dispersion medium and a particle coalescence-preventing agent, prepared in a dispersion medium heating tank, are fed to a fine-granulation machine, in which dispersion energy is applied to obtain a dispersion of molten solder particles. The dispersion is processed in a solidifier-by-cooling to obtain a dispersion of solid solder particles, which is processed in a solid-liquid separator to separate the solid solder particles. The solid solder particles are washed and dried to obtain fine powders. The respective devices at these steps are connected together by way of piping, so that fine solder powders can continuously be produced.

  • Patent number: 5493311
    Abstract: In order to achieve two-way communications at two different frequencies, an impedance matching circuit is coupled to an antenna. The circuit includes a first inductor which is directly coupled to the antenna. The first inductor induces antenna input impedance to be capacitive at a first resonant frequency and induces the antenna input impedance to be inductive at a second resonant frequency. The first resonant frequency is lower than the second resonant frequency. Further, a first capacitor is coupled to the first inductor. By providing the first capacitor, a reactance component at the first resonant frequency is rendered substantially equal to a reactance component at the second resonant frequency. Further, the circuit includes a second inductor and a second capacitor which are coupled between the second means and a feeder.
