A method of joining electrical connections together includes evaluating at least one weld joint between at least two substrates, determining a mismatch between the at least two substrates, and welding the at least two substrates together with a multi-step welding process. The multi-step welding process includes compensating for the mismatch between the at least two substrates by welding on both sides but not overlapping a joint line between the at least two substrate with a first welding step and increasing melt volume and penetration depth of a weld between the at least two substrates with a second welding step.

A soldering aid for connecting a cable to a printed circuit board includes an electrically insulating body having a first, second and third recesses, and an electrically conductive contact structure coupled thereto. The contact structure is partially embedded in the body to be connected to a cable core therein, and partially protrudes from the body to be connected the printed circuit board. The first recess is conically tapered to receive an end portion of the cable and has first and second sections for non-stripped and stripped portions of the cable end portion, respectively. An end of the second recess adjoins the second section of the first recess to enable optical verification of formation of a connection between the cable core and the contact structure. The third recess is configured to receive and transfer solder to the second section of the first recess to thereby form the connection.

An FFC bus bar includes a cable stack structure formed by stacking a plurality of flat flexible cables, and a high current terminal connected to at least one end portion of the cable stack structure. Each flat flexible cable comprises a terminal access portion including strands of conductor wires at at least one end portion thereof, and the terminal access portion is welded to the high current terminal.

A solderable component comprises a body portion configured to be mounted on a board and an auxiliary portion extending from the body portion. The body portion has at least two solderable portions. The at least two solderable portions include two predetermined solderable portions. The auxiliary portion has one abutment portion and a coupling portion. The abutment portion and lower ends of the two predetermined solderable portions define a board-attachment plane which is an imaginary plane. The coupling portion couples the abutment portion and the body portion to each other. A boundary between the coupling portion and the body portion is apart from the abutment portion in a plane in parallel to the board-attachment plane. The coupling portion is separable from the body portion at the boundary between the coupling portion and the body portion.

Included are: an electric wire placing step for inserting a core-wire exposing portion of a terminal end of an electric wire between inner wall surfaces of a pair of piece portions of a terminal fitting that has a core wire connector composed of a bottom portion and the piece portions projected from two opposite ends of the bottom portion; and an electric wire holding-down step for holding down, by use of a holding-down jig made of a laser-transmissive material having a higher melting point than the core-wire exposing portion and the core wire connector have, the core-wire exposing portion from one sides of free ends of the piece portions and pressing the core-wire exposing portion against an inner wall surface of the bottom portion by use of the holding-down jig.

A soldering aid for electrically conductively connecting a cable core of a cable to a conductor area includes a body made of an electrically insulating material and an electrically conductive contact part received in the body. The contact part has a contact surface configured to electrically conductively contact the conductor area. The body is formed with a receptacle having a slot open toward one side configured to receive the cable core of the cable, and is formed with a through-bore configured to surround a sheathed portion of the cable. The contact part closes an opening at a bottom of the slot and conductively contacts the cable core.

An output wire joining structure of a winding seat for a transformer or an inductor is disclosed. The winding seat includes a winding portion and a support portion. The winding portion is disposed on top of the support portion for winding a coil. Two sides of the support portion are provided with pin holders for insertion of output wires of the coil. At least one joining plate is disposed beneath the pin holders corresponding in position to the output wires. The output wires of the coil and metal pins of the pin holders are soldered to the joining plate respectively, so that the output wires and the metal pins are quickly soldered and fixed to form a connection, which has the advantages of increasing the rated current and facilitating the operation.

Technologies and implementations for a clip to connect coaxial cables onto a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is disclosed. The technologies and implementations facilitate improved signal integrity from the cable to various components of the PCBA. Additionally, the technologies and implementations help facilitate management of mechanical variations during connection of the coaxial cable.
