    Abstract: A method of assembling a component to a printed circuit board that includes a thermal layer and a circuit layer separated by a dielectric layer. The circuit layer includes circuit pads that correspond to terminal surfaces on the component. The dielectric layer includes an aperture that exposes a portion of the thermal layer that correspond to a thermal pad on the component. Solder paste is applied to the circuit pads and the exposed thermal layer. Lower surfaces of the solder paste are in contact with the circuit pads and the thermal layer and upper surfaces of the solder paste are substantially coplanar. The component is placed on the solder paste. The printed circuit board and the component are heated to create solder joints between the terminal surfaces on the component and the circuit pads and between the thermal pad on the component and the thermal layer.

  • Patent number: 9028932
    Abstract: The invention relates to a glass package (100) for sealing a device (120), to a system (110) comprising the glass package, a light source (210), a luminaire (200), a backlighting system (310), and to a display device (300). The glass package according to the invention comprises a first glass substrate (10), a second glass substrate (20), and a seal (30) sealing an interface between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate. The seal comprises a frit (30) comprising glass. A CTE of the frit is chosen to be at least 10% lower compared to the CTE of the first glass substrate and/or of the second glass substrate. An effect of the glass package according to the invention is that the difference between the CTE of the frit compared to the CTE of the first glass substrate and/or the second glass substrate enables to generate a gas-tight sealed glass package while using a glass-material as the first glass substrate and/or as the second glass substrate which has a relatively high CTE.

    Abstract: A support rail for holding and supplying power to a plurality of lighting modules. The support rail has first conductors for forming a first power supply circuit and second conductors for forming a second power supply circuit. The support rail additionally has a converter unit for electrically coupling the second power supply circuit to the first power supply circuit. The second power supply circuit also has a first coupling element for electrically connecting a first lighting module and a second coupling element for electrically connecting a second lighting module. The result of this design of the second power supply circuit is that a single converter unit is sufficient for converting a voltage for supplying power to the two lighting modules.
