Abstract: The present disclosure is related to printed circuit board packages and methods of assembly that may be used in the fabrication of electrical devices. Printed circuit board packages may be manufactured by stacking printed circuit board assemblies. Each printed circuit board assembly may have multiple printed circuit boards supported by a resin mold. The printed circuit board assemblies may be shaped to improve space utilization efficiency and to accommodate large electrical components that are attached to the printed circuit board package.

Abstract: Readily manufactured structures for sealing or encapsulating devices in system-in-a-package modules, such that the modules are easily assembled, have a low-profile, and are space efficient. One example may provide readily manufactured covers for SIP modules. These modules may be easily assembled by attaching the cover to a top side of a substrate. These SIP modules may have a low-profile, for example when their height is reduced using one or more recesses in a bottom surface of a top of the recess, where the one or more recesses are arranged to accept one or more components. These SIP modules may be made space efficient by placing an edge of a cover near an edge of the substrate and connecting the plating of the cover using side plating on, or vias through, the substrate.

Abstract: Sensors modules adapted to be mounted to a motherboard under challenging conditions by using automated manufacturing processes are disclosed. A sensor module can include a sensor mounted to a sensor PCB, a connector coupled to the sensor and having a plurality of guide pins extending therefrom in a vulnerable manner, with the guide pins being adapted to be inserted into guide pin holes on an associated motherboard, and a disposable carrier adapted to hold the connector and protect the guide pins thereof prior to mounting. The disposable carrier is removed from the sensor module before the sensor module is mounted directly to a motherboard by press-fitting the guide pins into guide pin holes on the motherboard and soldering connections thereto in an automated surface mounting operation. Disposable carrier protected sensor modules can be stored and processed in a tray or tape-and-reel automated manufacturing system.
