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.

A microwave or radio frequency (RF) device includes an insulating substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. The device also includes a crossover conductor disposed on the first surface extending between a first edge of the first surface and a second edge of the first surface. The device also includes a depression in the second surface defined at least in part by (i) a third surface recessed in relation to the second surface, and (ii) at least one sidewall that extends between the second surface and the third surface. The device further includes a conductive coating formed over at least a portion of the second surface, the third surface, and the at least one sidewall, where the conductive coating is insulated from the crossover conductor by the insulating substrate.

The present invention describes a transmission system for removing resonance and improves performance by utilizing air bridges connecting ground lines in a G-S-S-G transmission line configuration.

A compact solid state relay (7) is provided. Solid state devices (74, 75), such as Triacs or Thyristors are used to implement the relay functionality. The device is at least partially enclosed in a housing that has pins for mounting on an electronics board. A number of U shaped jumpers (72) or other jumpers or wires are provided in the housing to act as heat sinks. A sub-miniature fan (70) is positioned to create an air flow over the heat sinks and dissipate heat from the device.

A high-frequency module includes: a chassis which is made of a conductor and which has an internal space; a high-frequency circuit board which is housed in the internal space of the chassis; and a resistive element provided between an inner wall that opposes the high-frequency circuit board among inner walls of the chassis which define the internal space and the high-frequency circuit board.

A power module includes a number of sub-modules connected via removable jumpers. The removable jumpers allow the connections between one or more power semiconductor die in the sub-modules to be reconfigured, such that when the removable jumpers are provided, the power module has a first function, and when the removable jumpers are removed, the power module has a second function. The removable jumpers may also allow for independent testing of the sub-modules. The power module may also include a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB), which is used to connect one or more contacts of the power semiconductor die. The multi-layer PCB reduces stray inductance between the contacts and therefore improves the performance of the power module.

Embodiments include an interconnectable circuit board array. The interconnectable circuit board array includes a plurality of interconnectable circuit boards coupled together with a plurality of board to board connectors. The board to board connectors include a first lateral side conductor and a second lateral side conductor to provide electrical communication between the connect circuit boards. The board to board connectors are configured such that when two adjacent circuit boards are bent in a lateral plane with respect to one another to form an angle, one of the lateral side conductors is contracted, one of the lateral side conductors is expanded, or one of the lateral side conductors is contracted and the other lateral side conductor is expanded. Other embodiments are also included herein.

A circuit assembly 1 includes a semiconductor switching element, a main substrate, a plurality of bus bars and a sub-substrate that are overlaid on the main substrate, and a jumper wire. The main substrate includes a first insulating substrate and a first conductive path.
