    Abstract: A circuit board mounting apparatus includes a chassis, a circuit board defining two recesses in a front side, two fixing members engaged in the recesses, and two fasteners. The chassis includes a side plate defining two through holes. Each recess is bounded by two sidewalls. A latching slot is defined in each sidewall. A fixing hole is defined in a front side of each fixing member. Two resilient arms are formed at opposite sides of each fixing member, and slantingly extend into the corresponding fixing hole. A projection protrudes from an outer surface of each resilient arm. The fasteners extend through the through holes of the side plate and engage in the fixing holes of the fixing members. The resilient arms are deformed outward by the fasteners, to allow the projections to engage in the corresponding latching slots. Therefore, the circuit board is perpendicularly fixed to the side plate.

  • Patent number: 8737087
    Abstract: This invention provides a multilayer printed wiring board in which electric connectivity and functionality are obtained by improving reliability and particularly, reliability to the drop test can be improved. No corrosion resistant layer is formed on a solder pad 60B on which a component is to be mounted so as to obtain flexibility. Thus, if an impact is received from outside when a related product is dropped, the impact can be buffered so as to protect any mounted component from being removed. On the other hand, land 60A in which the corrosion resistant layer is formed is unlikely to occur contact failure even if a carbon pillar constituting an operation key makes repeated contacts.

    Abstract: A wiring substrate includes an insulating layer, an upper wiring pattern, and a lower wiring pattern, the wiring patterns sandwiching the insulating layer. The lower wiring pattern includes an interlayer connecting conductor integral therewith and projecting toward the upper wiring pattern for electrical connection to the upper wiring pattern. The interlayer connecting conductor is joined to the upper wiring pattern so as to penetrate into the upper wiring pattern beyond a joining interface between the insulating layer and the upper wiring pattern. Thus, the wiring substrate adaptable for a large current is provided without causing degradation of reliability in connection, which may occur by cracking, disconnection, interlayer peeling-off, etc.
