  • Patent number: 8064221
    Abstract: Electronic devices are disclosed that allow for surface-mounting using solder while preventing solder from overflowing between external terminals of the electronic device, or between pads on a circuit board to which the external terminals are soldered. An exemplary electronic device has a base board made of an insulating material and having an outer surface comprising at least one external terminal for surface mounting of the device to the circuit board. A groove is defined at least part way around the external terminal on the outer surface. The groove accommodates overflowed solder and thus prevents unintended spread flow of the solder to locations that otherwise could cause short circuits and the like. The electronic device can include a resin board containing a thermoset resin, wherein the groove is formed by thermal or mechanical processing.

  • Publication number: 20100290204
    Abstract: An electrical assembly for a motor controller is disclosed that includes an electrical lead. The electrical lead has a conductive trace within an insulating material and that extends a length between first and second ends. An electrical pad is in electrical continuity with and extends from the conductive trace through the insulating material at the first end. The pad includes an aperture providing a securing feature. An electrical component is supported by and integral with the second end, in one example. The electrical component is in electrical continuity with the conductive trace at the second end. A bus bar provides a joint having a first cross-sectional area. The electrical lead is flexible and is removably secured to the joint by the securing feature to provide electrical continuity from a capacitor to the bus bar. The flexible electrical lead has a second cross-sectional area substantially less than the first cross-sectional area.

    Abstract: A flush mounted assembly for housing an electronic or electro-mechanical module which detects abnormal conditions and responds to the detection of such abnormal conditions. The assembly includes a base mounted in an opening in a structural member such as a wall, partition or ceiling. The base includes a peripheral wall defining a shallow cavity with an outer open face and an inner wall. A laterally outwardly projecting flange extends from the peripheral side wall of the base for flush engagement with the structural member. The shallow cavity of the base is dimensioned to receive the electronic or electro-mechanical module. A closure plate is provided for the open outer face of the base. The closure face has a periphery dimensioned to close the open outer face of the shallow cavity in the base leaving only a narrow gap between the closure plate periphery and the base periphery wall to allow ambient air to enter the shallow cavity of the base and interact with the module.
