  • Patent number: 11924964
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160008895
    Abstract: A tube cutter is revealed. A moveable member is mounted into a main body by a rod portion inserted into a slot of the main body. At the same time, a jagged positioning portion on a positioning block of the main body is positioned on a jagged stopping portion of the rod portion by a pressing elastic part. An elastic pressing member includes a supporting elastic part disposed between a mounting projection and a mounting hole of the main body. A sliding block on bottom of the elastic pressing member is mounted in a sliding groove of the main body while sliding distance of the sliding block is restricted by a stopping rod in a stopping hole. A cutting blade of the moveable member is tightly against a tube due to the elastic pressing member being pushed by the supporting elastic part. Thus the tube is cut smoothly.
