A manufacturing method of tape includes the steps of providing a tape including substrate units, providing a die device and a cutting and/or pressing process. Each of the substrate units includes a carrier, a circuit layer, an adhesive and a heat spreader, the heat spreader is attached onto the carrier by the adhesive. In the cutting and/or pressing process, the die device is provided to press the tape to generate separation protrusions on the heat spreader and allow the separation protrusions to protrude from a heat dissipation surface of the heat spreader. When rolling the tape, the separation protrusions can separate the stacked substrate units to prevent the adhesive from being squeezed out to contaminate the tape.

A method for manufacturing a circuit board, includes: stacking a first peelable film on a second peelable film, and disposing fluffy carbon nanotubes between the first peelable film and the second peelable film, thereby obtaining a carbon nanotube layer; pressing the first peelable film, the carbon nanotube layer, and the second peelable film to compact the fluffy carbon nanotubes, thereby obtaining a thermal conductive layer; removing the first peelable film, and disposing a first adhesive layer, a first dielectric layer, and a first circuit layer on a side of the thermal conductive layer away from the second peelable film; removing the second peelable film, and disposing a second adhesive layer, a second dielectric layer, and a second circuit layer on a side of the thermal conductive layer away from the first adhesive layer; mounting an electronic component on the first circuit layer.

A method of bonding printed circuit sheets to one another, each of the printed circuit sheets having a pattern of electrically conductive tracks, and the bonding being carried out by applying an adhesive to one of the sheets in a connection zone where the tracks on the one sheet are to be connected to corresponding tracks on the other sheet, superposing the sheets in the connection zone such that the adhesive is sandwiched between the sheets, and aligning the sheets such that corresponding tracks on the two sheets are aligned with one another. The method includes a preparatory step of forming extra tracks on the two sheets such that, in the alignment and compression steps, the extra tracks are brought into engagement with one another and constitute a barrier for the adhesive.

A stacked body includes a first resin layer including a thermoplastic first resin as a main material, a pattern including a conductor layer on one principal surface of the first resin layer, and a second resin layer including a thermoplastic second resin as a main material. The first resin layer is softer than the second resin layer. The first resin layer has a lower dielectric constant than the second resin layer. A pattern including the conductor layer is at least partially embedded in the first resin layer, and includes a portion in contact with the first resin layer along a layer direction (X-Y plane) of the first resin layer and a portion in contact with the first resin layer along a stacking direction (X-Z plane) of the first resin layer, the second resin layer, and the pattern including the conductor layer.

A method for producing a module includes a first step of preparing a conductive layer disposed at one side in a thickness direction of a first peeling layer, a second step of forming a conductive pattern from the conductive layer, a third step of pushing the conductive pattern into a first adhesive layer containing a first magnetic particle and a first resin component, and a fourth step of peeling the first peeling layer.

A flexible electronic foil (1,1′,1″) comprising a flexible substrate (2) and at least one electrically conducive portion (3) arranged to the substrate (2). The foil (1,1′,1″) comprises mechanical fastening means (6,6′,7) for mechanical fastening of the electronic foil (1,1′,1″), the mechanical fastening means being part of the substrate (2) of the electronic foil (1,1′,1″).

A method is provided for producing a printed circuit board including at least one conductor element, which extends between connection points in the printed circuit board. In order to increase the productivity of a known method for producing a printed circuit board including at least one conductor element, which extends between connection points in the printed circuit board, the method comprises the following steps: Step A: providing a mold having at least one receptacle for a conductor element; Step B: arranging a conductor element in the receptacle of the mold; Step C: connecting the conductor element arranged in the receptacle of the mold to an electrically conductive sheetlike element at positions of the intended connection points; Step D: embedding the conductor element, which is connected to the electrically conductive sheetlike element, into insulating material; and Step E: working out the connection points from the electrically conductive sheetlike element.

A method for inserting preformed solder members into connector pins for use with electrical connectors. The method generally includes a connector pin having an open cavity at one end, into which a preformed solder member can be first inserted and then pressed, rather than melted, in place, such that voids and air spaces within the cavity are substantially eliminated. The method allows for inserting solder members in high quantities, where the preformed solder members are placed in a fixture and the fixture is placed on a shaker table, so that solder members can be inserted into large numbers of connector pins that are pre-installed in connector grommets, largely simultaneously.

A soft neural interface connector apparatus includes a PCB having a two-dimensional array of solder balls, a transparent top board, a cushioning layer on one side of the transparent top board, and a soft neural interface including a flexible and/or stretchable microelectrode array (MEA) through which neural signals are obtained or delivered. The MEA includes a two-dimensional array of contact pads corresponding to the array of solder balls. The PCB, the transparent top board, the cushioning layer, and the MEA are stacked together such that the MEA is between the cushioning layer and the PCB, and the contact pads are aligned with and in electrical contact with associated solder balls. A magnetic connector system having at least one magnetic connector component on the transparent top board is magnetically connected with at least one magnetic connector component on the PCB to press the contact pads and associated solder balls together.

A crimp terminal-equipped flexible printed circuit board includes: a first flexible printed circuit board having a base film and a circuit provided on a surface of the base film and made of metal foil; multiple crimp terminals including crimp pieces crimped to penetrate the first flexible printed circuit board and bent to bite into part of the circuit; and an insulating reinforcing film partially integrally provided on an area of the base film where the multiple crimp pieces penetrate.
