COMPONENT CARRIER FOR ARRANGING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON A CIRCUIT BOARD
Disclosed are special component carriers made of MID-capable plastic in order to make the geometric arrangement of electrical components, such as microprocessors, LEDs, sensors, antennas and the like, on a circuit board more flexible. Said component carriers can have a standardized footprint for connecting to the circuit board and can be adapted to the terminals and the geometric arrangement of the components using individually applied conducting tracks, in particular in an LDS process. Furthermore, the specially shaped component carriers allow the electrical components to be geometrically oriented, in particular at a right angle to the circuit board and parallel to the circuit board, which is especially highly advantageous for antennas and acceleration sensors. Furthermore, SMT soldering is made possible in the pre-mounted state even for temperature-sensitive components.
