According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes a board, a first electronic device mounted on the board, at least one second electronic device mounted on the board, and a heat dissipator. At least a portion of the second electronic device overlaps at least one of the board and the first electronic device in a first direction that is a thickness direction of the board. The heat dissipator includes a first member that includes a first portion located between the first electronic device and the second electronic device in the first direction, and a second member that includes a portion located between the first member and the second electronic device in the first direction. The second member is smaller in coefficient of thermal conductivity than the first member.

The invention relates to a method for mechanical connecting especially of a potting frame to a printed circuit board of an electrical/electronic module. The potting frame includes a metal contact area. The printed circuit board includes a surface area structured metallically corresponding to the contact area. The method includes positioning the mechanical component with the contact area facing the corresponding surface area, and soldering the mechanical component to the printed circuit board via the contact area and the surface area. The method the advantage that a material saving encapsulation can be provided for electrical/electronic modules in explosion endangered regions. An additional process step for mechanical connecting of the encapsulation to the printed circuit board can be omitted, since the mechanical connecting of the potting frame can be performed in one process step together with the soldering of the additional electrical/electronic components to the printed circuit board.

A method for producing a connection contact for a sensor or an actuator of a vehicle, the method including: providing a printed circuit board having at least one electronic component arranged thereon and having an opening; inserting a contact bushing into the opening; and combined soldering the at least one component to the printed circuit board and the contact bushing to the printed circuit board in one task. Also described are a related circuit board and a vehicle control unit.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device prepares contact members, each of which has a cylindrical through-hole, and column-shaped connection terminals, each having a polygonal shape in a cross-sectional view along a length direction thereof, wherein a length of a diagonal of the polygonal shape is greater than an inner diameter of the through-holes. Chamfers with a curvature for fitting an inner surface of the through-holes are formed at corners of the connection terminal, and the connection terminals are press-fitted into the through-holes of the contacts. By doing so, the area of contact where the connection terminals press-fitted into the contacts contact the inner circumferential surfaces of the through-holes of the contacts is increased. This increases the tensile load of the connection terminals fitted into the contacts.

Methods include receiving at least one electronic device including a sensor or an emitter, placing a cover over the sensor or emitter, placing the electronic device, including the cover, into a transfer mold system, encapsulating the electronic device with charge material, and removing a portion of the encapsulating charge material and the cover to expose the sensor or emitter to the environment.

An electronic device having a battery assembly is disclosed. Unlike traditional battery assemblies that include rectilinear electrodes with two sides of equal length, the battery assemblies described herein may include electrodes having a shape/configuration resembling an L-shape electrode used to form chemical reactions in order to generate electrical energy. However, other shapes/configurations are possible. The shape/configuration of the housing of the battery assembly confirms to the shape/configuration of the electrodes. Further, in order to accommodate an internal component (such as a circuit board assembly), the shape of the battery assembly provides additional space in the electronic device. In order to form the electrodes, the electrodes may undergo a die cutting operation. Also, the housing may include a channel, or reduced dimension, that accommodates a flexible circuit in the electronic device that passes over the battery assembly at the channel.

A connector includes a metal cylinder with three or more slots cut from a first end and three or more slots cut from a second end which are intercalated between the slots from the first end, whereby the connector is radially compressible along its entire length. The connector is adapted for insertion at one end into a hole in a circuit board, thereby making electrical contact to traces in the circuit board.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes a memory, a processor, and a rectangular waveguide coupled to the memory and the processor so that the memory and the processor communicate with each other via the rectangular waveguide.

A temperature-variable standoff includes a temperature-variable electrical element. The standoff also includes a support body that supports the temperature-variable electrical element and that is configured to support a circuit board separated at a distance from another component of an electronics assembly. The support body is configured to attach to the circuit board and to project away from the circuit board with a first end proximate the circuit board and a second end spaced away from the circuit board. The standoff further includes an electrical connector supported proximate the first end. The electrical connector is configured to electrically connect within an electrical circuit of the circuit board to provide the electrical input to the temperature-variable electrical element for selectively varying the temperature thereof.

Methods include receiving at least one electronic device including a sensor or an emitter, placing a cover over the sensor or emitter, placing the electronic device, including the cover, into a transfer mold system, encapsulating the electronic device with charge material, and removing a portion of the encapsulating charge material and the cover to expose the sensor or emitter to the environment.
