A contacting device for resiliently contacting a printed circuit board with a contact element for a solenoid or a sensor for a vehicle system, including a contacting apparatus, including: a helical spring element, which is formed such that it can be clamped in between the printed circuit board and the contact element; and a printed-circuit-board fastening element with a fastening surface and a centering surface opposite the fastening surface, wherein the fastening surface is formed such that it is fastened or can be fastened on the printed circuit board and, in an operating state of the contacting device, at least one portion of the centering surface is arranged so as to protrude into an interior-space portion of an interior space of the spring element in order to guide and/or to center the spring element. Also described are a related vehicle system, a method, a device, and a storage medium.

A circuit board structure includes a body, multiple first pads, a conductive assembly, multiple first engaging components, and multiple second engaging components. The body includes a first portion and a second portion integrally formed. A first surface of the first portion directly contacts a second surface of the second portion. A first region of the first surface protrudes from the second portion, and a second region of the second surface protrudes from the first portion. The first pads and the first engaging components are disposed on the first portion of the body and located in the first region of the first surface. The conductive assembly and the second engaging components are disposed on the second portion of the body and located in the second region of the second portion. The first pads are located between the first engaging components, and the conductive assembly is located between the second engaging components.

An implantable connector for connecting an electronics package and a neural interface is made by way of a compressible contacts (e.g., a spring) that physical contacts a corresponding exposed bond pad. The compressible contact is held in compression with the exposed bond pad using a mechanical coupler. The compressible contact is physically separated and electrically isolated from other contacts by way of a compressible gasket. The compressible gasket is also held in compression using the mechanical coupler.

A multilayer ceramic substrate includes a first insulating portion including a body of a ceramic material, a first via conductor penetrating through the body, and a first internal wiring layer and a first connection pad connected to the first via conductor, and a second insulating portion including a body of an anodized oxide material, a second via conductor penetrating through the body, and a second internal wiring layer and a second connection pad connected to the second via conductor.

An electronic component includes an element body, an external electrode, and a metal terminal. In the metal terminal, a base includes a first surface and a second surface opposing each other, and a pair of third surfaces coupling the first surface and the second surface. A first metal layer is disposed on the first surface and connected to solder with which the external electrode and the metal terminal are connected together. A second metal layer is disposed on the second surface. A coating layer is disposed on each of the third surfaces. The first metal layer and the second metal layer each include an outermost layer containing Sn. Each of the coating layer includes an outermost layer lower in solder wettability than the respective outermost layers of the first metal layer and the second metal layer.

An electronic device includes a housing, first and second wiring substrates disposed to face each other, a fixing member that is made of an electrically conductive member and fixes the first and second wiring substrates to each other, and an external connection terminal provided in the housing. The fixing member has first and second fixing portions, and is interposed between the first and second wiring substrates. The fixing member is electrically conductive to a first electrically conductive portion provided in the first wiring substrate by fixing the first fixing portion to the first wiring substrate. The fixing member is electrically conductive to a second electrically conductive portion provided in the second wiring substrate by fixing the second fixing portion to the second wiring substrate. The external connection terminal is electrically conductive to the fixing member by electrically connecting the fixing member to the external connection terminal.

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 circuit board with a connector connection for the direct contacting with a connector, wherein the connector connection is formed on the front side of the circuit board with a contact pin that is arranged centrally in a blind hole while forming a circular ring-shaped cylindrical insertion space and that has an inner hole with a first contact zone of an inner conductor for contacting an inner conductor of the connector. A second contact zone of an outer conductor is arranged in the insertion space for contacting an outer conductor of the connector.

A power semiconductor module has a substrate, load and auxiliary connector elements, and a plastic body, which preferably is a housing or a housing frame and which has a channel. The channel being for the arrangement of a compensating portion of a press-fit contact element. The press-fit contact element has a press-fit portion, a compensating portion and a foot portion, the compensating portion being elastic in a longitudinal direction of the press-fit contact element and having at least two O-shaped sub-portions arranged in succession in the longitudinal direction and having a constriction arranged between two sub-portions.
