A number of different sealed interfaces for power modules are described. In one example, a sealed interface includes a printed circuit board including a contact pad for power conduction to a bus bar of the printed circuit board, a semiconductor module including at least one power transistor, a terminal pin electrically coupled to the power module, and a housing for the power module. The housing includes an open terminal aperture that extends through the housing. The printed circuit board is seated upon the open terminal aperture, to close and seal the open terminal aperture, with the contact pad positioned within the open terminal aperture. The terminal pin contacts the contact pad of the printed circuit board within the open terminal aperture, and the open terminal aperture comprises a transitional feature to abate electric field intensity around an interface between the open terminal aperture and the printed circuit board.

The present application relates to a circuit board assembly, a photosensitive assembly, a camera module, and preparation methods for the circuit board assembly and the photosensitive assembly. The photosensitive assembly includes a circuit board and a photosensitive chip. The circuit board includes a circuit board main body, a through hole formed through the circuit board main body, a set of circuit board electrical connecting terminals disposed on the lower surface of the circuit board main body, a conducting medium disposed on the circuit board electrical connecting terminals, and a non-conducting adhesive covering the conducting medium. The photosensitive chip includes chip electrical connecting terminals disposed in a non-photosensitive area. The chip electrical connecting terminals of the photosensitive chip is in contact with the conducting medium to be electrically connected to the circuit board electrical connecting terminals, and the photosensitive chip is bonded to the lower surface of the circuit board via the non-conducting adhesive, so that the photosensitive chip is electrically connected to the circuit board. In this way, the photosensitive chip is stably electrically connected to the circuit board with relatively low costs and relatively low process difficulty.

A circuit board includes an interconnect and an insulating layer that covers the interconnect. The interconnect includes a first interconnect that is formed to serve as a recognition mark of which planar shape is a predetermined shape. The insulating layer has a through-hole of which planar shape is variant and that penetrates the insulating layer in a thickness direction of the insulating layer such that an entire upper surface of the first interconnect is exposed. The through-hole includes a first through-hole of which planar shape is a predetermined shape and that penetrates the insulating layer in the thickness direction such that the entire upper surface of the first interconnect is exposed and a second through-hole that serves as part of an inner wall surface of the first through-hole and that penetrates the insulating layer in the thickness direction.

A connector includes mounting tabs that are extended relative to traditional mounting tabs. On a back side of the printed circuit board (PCB), the mounting tabs connect to a back plate. The mounting tabs extend through the PCB and connect with the back plate, which provides improved structural integrity. Depending on the connector, the use of the mounting tabs can use existing mounting holes for the connector and remove the need for additional mounting holes.

An electronic element mounting substrate includes a substrate including a first layer, a second layer located on a lower surface of the first layer, and a third layer located on a lower surface of the second layer, and on which an electronic element is to be mounted. The substrate has a via conductor that passes through the first layer to the third layer in a vertical direction. The substrate includes respective electrical conductor layers located between the respective layers and connected to the via conductor in a plan perspective. Each electrical conductor layer includes a land portion surrounding the via conductor, a clearance portion surrounding the land portion, and a peripheral portion surrounding the clearance portion and electrically insulated from the land portion with the clearance portion interposed between the land portion and the peripheral portion. The first land portion has, in a plan perspective, a first portion overlapping the second land portion, and the first clearance portion has, in a plan perspective, a second portion not overlapping the second clearance portion. The first peripheral portion and the second peripheral portion each have, in a vertical cross-sectional view, an end portion that becomes thinner as a distance from the via conductor increases.

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor module comprising a semiconductor device removably pressed-fit in a cavity formed in a printed circuit board and methods for manufacturing the same. The semiconductor device and the cavity of the printed circuit board can cooperate with each other and act as an electrical plug and an electrical socket respectively. Soldering the semiconductor device on the printed circuit board can be avoided. Therefore, the packaging process can be more flexible and reliability issues with solder joints can be eliminated. Moreover, heatsink can be mounted on top and/or bottom of the semiconductor device after being received in the cavity of the printed circuit board. Thermal dissipation efficiency can be greatly enhanced.

A grid array connector system is provided that includes cables connected to pedestals that are mounted on a board. The cables include conductors that are connected to support vias positioned in openings in the board and the conductors are connected to the support vias.

A substrate for contacting an electrical pin arranged in a housing includes a base having a recess receiving the electrical pin, a metal leadframe having a contacting region electrically and/or thermally contacting the electrical pin, and a contact pin extending along a mating direction in a plane parallel to the metal leadframe and configured to electrically contact a mating contact pin of a mating connector. The metal leadframe is rigidly fixed to the base to prevent a relative movement between the metal leadframe and the substrate. The substrate is movable with respect to the housing along a locking direction from an unlocked position where the substrate is not locked to the housing to a locked position in which the substrate is locked to the housing. A movement of the contacting region with respect to the electrical pin is prevented in the locked position.

Various embodiments of an interconnect device and modules and systems that utilize such interconnect device are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the interconnect device can include a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB can include a substrate forming a resiliently deflectable element, a conductive material disposed on the substrate, and an electrical contact disposed on the resiliently deflectable element and electrically coupled to the conductive material.
