A printed circuit board includes: a first insulating layer; a first wiring layer disposed on one surface of the first insulating layer; and a bump at least partially disposed in the first insulating layer and connected to the first wiring layer. The bump at least partially protrudes from the other surface of the first insulating layer, opposite to the one surface of the first insulating layer.

Described herein are dielectric polymer films and printed circuit boards, such as multilayer and high-density interconnect printed circuit board comprising at least one dielectric polymer film.

A method of making an electronic device may include forming at least one circuit layer that includes solder pads on a substrate and forming at least one liquid crystal polymer (LCP) solder mask having mask openings therein. The method may also include forming at least one thin film resistor on the LCP solder mask and coupling the at least one LCP solder mask to the substrate so that the at least one thin film resistor is coupled to the at least one circuit layer and so that the solder pads are aligned with the mask openings.

Even when a grounding capacitor is included at either end of a common mode coil, there is noise that flows from a load into a metal frame, and there is a need to restrict an amount of noise propagating to a system power supply. Because of this, a noise loop is formed of a rectifier circuit, an inverter, a first electrical wire that connects a positive polarity side of the rectifier circuit and the inverter, a second electrical wire that connects a negative polarity side of the rectifier circuit and the inverter, a ground wire terminal that can connect a load connected to an output terminal or the inverter, and a conductive plate that connects at least one or the first electrical wire and second electrical wire and the ground wire terminal.

A multi-layer metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) has mounted on it at least one or more heat-generating LEDs and one or more devices configured to provide current to the one or more LEDs. The one or more devices may include a device that carries a steep slope voltage waveform. Since there is typically a very thin dielectric between the patterned copper layer and the metal substrate, the steep slope voltage waveform may produce a current in the metal substrate due to AC coupling via parasitic capacitance. This AC-coupled current may produce electromagnetic interference (EMI). To reduce the EMI, a local shielding area may be formed between the metal substrate and the device carrying the steep slope voltage waveform. The local shielding area may be conductive and may be electrically connected, to a DC voltage node adjacent to the one or more devices.

A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals. The conductive terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. A contact portion of the first signal terminal includes a first contact arm, a second contact arm and a first clamping space. The first contact arm includes a first contact end portion and a first contact arm body portion connected with the first contact end portion. The first contact arm body portion includes a first end connected to the first contact end portion and a second end opposite to the first end. From the first end to the second end, a width of the first contact arm body portion gradually increases. As a result, it is beneficial to improve the contact impedance when it is mated with a mating backplane connector. The present disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module.

A terminal module includes a number of conductive terminals. The conductive terminal includes a contact portion, a transition portion connected with the contact portion and a connection portion electrically connected with the transition portion. The conductive terminals include differential signal terminals, a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal. The differential signal terminals include a first signal terminal and a second signal terminal. The terminal module further includes a fixing block fixed on the transfer portions of the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. As a result, a distance between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal can be controlled by the fixing block for improving the quality of data transmission. The present disclosure also discloses a backplane connector having the terminal module.

An axial field rotary energy device has a PCB stator panel assembly between rotors with an axis of rotation. Each rotor has a magnet. The PCB stator panel assembly includes PCB panels. Each PCB panel can have layers, and each layer can have conductive coils. The PCB stator panel assembly can have a thermally conductive layer that extends from an inner diameter portion to an outer diameter portion thereof. Each PCB panel comprises discrete, PCB radial segments that are mechanically and electrically coupled together to form the respective PCB panels.
