  • Patent number: 7733666
    Abstract: A circuit board storage bag and a storage rack are disclosed. A plurality of printed circuit board storage bags for accommodating a circuit board comprise a front surface portion and a rear surface portion opposed to the obverse and reverse surfaces, respectively, of the circuit board accommodated in the circuit board storage bag and connecting portions for connecting the front surface portion and the rear surface portion. The front surface portion and the rear surface portion bend at the connecting portions to open and close the circuit board storage bag for use in transporting the circuit board. The circuit boards are stored in a storage rack having an inclined mounting surface for mounting the storage bags and a bag stopper at the lower end of the mounting surface. The bags are stored in vertical position on one side at the lower end of the mounting surface.

  • Publication number: 20070007976
    Abstract: A circuit board storage bag and a storage rack are disclosed. The stock in process, of the printed circuit boards between processes, is reduced while at the same time saving the space otherwise required for the stock, and the inward and outward delivery of the printed circuit boards are facilitated. A plurality of printed circuit board storage bags (1) each for accommodating a circuit board (90) each comprise a front surface portion (11) and a rear surface portion (12) opposed to the obverse and reverse surfaces, respectively, of the circuit board (90) accommodated in the circuit board storage bag (1) in closed state and connecting portions (13 to 15) for connecting the front surface portion (11) and the rear surface portion (12). The front surface portion (11) and the rear surface portion (12) connected to each other are adapted to bend at the connecting portions (13 to 15) thereby to open and close the circuit board storage bag (1) for use in transporting the circuit board (90) between processes.

  • Patent number: 6749347
    Abstract: A laser diode module including a laser diode assembly having a laser diode and a holder, a lens-fiber assembly having a lens and an optical fiber fixed in a given positional relationship, and a sleeve. The lens-fiber assembly includes a casing having a first hole and a second hole offset from the first hole. The lens is inserted and fixed in the first hole, and a ferrule in which the optical fiber is embedded is press-fitted with the second hole. The ferrule has a slant polished first end and a second end projecting from an end surface of the casing by a given distance. The lens and the ferrule are fixed in the casing so that a given distance is defined between the lens and the first end of the ferrule.

  • Patent number: 6727718
    Abstract: A ball grid array (BGA) electronic component package having a configuration which is capable of improving mounting efficiency as well as preventing footprints from breaking away at circuit-connecting portions of the electronic component package. The BGA package has reinforcing bumps formed in an area located outward of a predetermined area in which conventional circuit-connecting bumps are arranged. Therefore, even if a shock is applied to the BGA package at the outer or peripheral portion of the BGA package, which is most sensitive to such a shock, the shock is absorbed by the reinforcing bumps and reinforcing footprints which have no electrical connection with the circuitry of the electronic component package. Thus, the footprints formed on a mounting portion of the BGA package and those formed on the printed circuit board can be prevented from breaking away or being cracked.

  • Publication number: 20030063448
    Abstract: There is provided a ball grid array (BGA) electronic component package having a configuration which is capable of improving mounting efficiency as well as preventing footprints from breaking away at circuit-connecting portions of the electronic component package. The BGA package has reinforcing bumps formed in an area located outward of a predetermined area in which conventional circuit-connecting bumps are arranged. Therefore, even if a shock is applied to the BGA package e.g. when a printed circuit board having the BGA package mounted thereon is carelessly dropped during the manufacturing work, at the outer or peripheral portion of the BGA package, which is most sensitive to such a shock, the shock is absorbed by the reinforcing bumps and reinforcing footprints which have no electrical connection with the circuitry of the electronic component package.

  • Patent number: 5760469
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a package having opposing surfaces, a first terminal for an outer connection supported by said package and electronic components supported by said package, and the opposing surfaces of the package having slits so that a shape of the package can be changed in a mounted state. Therefore, stress applied to soldered junctions of the first and second terminals is decreased.
