An electric motor includes an assembly for connection to a printed circuit having a conductive insert through which connection holes pass, and a coil assembly having electrical connections terminated by connection plugs. The motor further includes connection pieces comprising a rod, the outer cross-section of which matches the cross-section of the connection holes, the connection piece having, at the proximal end thereof, a shoulder with a cross-section greater than the cross-section of the connection holes, the opposite end having a slot extending up to the shoulder, and including an opening on the distal end with a width greater than or equal to the cross-section of the connection plugs and at least one narrowing with a width less than the cross-section of the connection plugs, in order to ensure the expansion of the collar of the connection piece engaged in the hole of the printed circuit insert.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) may include a heat sink configured to draw heat from a surface-mounted component through the PCB toward a side of the PCB opposite a side having the surface-mounted component. The heat sinks may be single piece components that extend at least partially through the PCB. In some embodiments, the PCB may include connectors that interface between the PCB and a heat sink, or possibly other components.

A component carrier and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The component carrier includes a stack having at least one electrically conductive layer structure and/or at least one electrically insulating layer structure, a component embedded in the stack, and at least one vertical through connection extending between two opposing main surfaces of and through the component.

An apparatus for providing a stiffener and cooling to a printed circuit board includes a printed circuit board coupled to a top surface of a stiffening cooling structure, where a lower surface of the printed circuit board is opposite the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure. One or more channels of the stiffening cooling structure defined by the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure, a bottom surface of the stiffening cooling structure, and one or more support members, where the one or more support members are positioned between the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure and the bottom surface of the stiffening cooling. One or more apertures in the top surface of the stiffening cooling structure directs airflow from the one or more channels of the stiffening cooling structure to one or more components disposed on a top surface of the printed circuit board.

A power device includes a frame having an electrically insulative material, an opening in the electrically insulative material, and an electrical conductor extending through the electrically insulative material. A power stage module fixed in the opening has an output terminal at a first side of the power stage module, and a power terminal, a ground terminal and a plurality of input/output (I/O) terminals at a second side of the power stage module opposite the first side. A passive component has a first terminal attached to the output terminal of the power stage module and a second terminal attached to the electrical conductor of the frame. The passive component has a larger footprint than the power stage module. The frame expands the footprint of the power stage module to accommodate mounting of the passive component to the power device. The frame has a lower interconnect density than the power stage module.

The present disclosure provides a power module, a chip-embedded package module and a manufacturing method of the chip-embedded package module. The chip-embedded package module includes: a chip having a first surface and a second surface that are disposed oppositely; a first plastic member including a first cover portion and a first protrusion; and a second plastic member including a second cover portion and a second protrusion. A height difference discontinuous interface structure is formed between the top surface of the second protrusion and the second surface of the chip, which cuts off a passage for expansion of delamination at an edge position of the chip, thereby effectively suppressing generation of the delamination.

A microwave module includes an RF device and a multilayer resin substrate. The device includes a metal cover covering at least an internal circuit. The substrate includes a first end face on a side of the device, a second end face on a side opposite to the first end face, a signal through-holes surrounding the circuit and connected to the circuit, ground through-holes surrounding the signal through-holes and connected to the cover, a first surface ground provided on the first end face and connected to the cover, an inner layer surface ground connected to ground through-holes, and an RF transmission line surrounded by the ground through-holes, the first surface ground, and the inner layer surface ground, and connected to the signal through-hole.

A method of manufacturing a circuit board having a heat dissipation block includes forming an opening through a substrate to form an open substrate. The opening has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to each other, and the open substrate includes a substrate body surrounding the opening, at least one first fixing portion extending from the substrate body toward the opening and protruding from the first sidewall, and at least one second fixing portion extending from the substrate body toward the opening and protruding from the second sidewall. The heat dissipation block is then clamped between the first fixing portion and second fixing portion to fix the heat dissipation block in the opening.

Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) with backside interconnects for fanout-style packaging are disclosed. Fanout-style packaging, such as fanout wafer (FOWLP) or fanout panel-level packaging (FOPLP), facilitates a high density package for MMICs. However, the fanout-style packaging may produce undesired electromagnetic (EM) coupling between a MMIC die and metal features in a redistribution layer (RDL) of the FOW/PLP package and/or a next higher assembly (NHA). In an exemplary aspect, a circuit package according to this disclosure includes the MMIC die and an RDL. The MMIC includes a chip side with components which may undesirably couple to metal signal lines (e.g., package metal interconnects) in the RDL. The chip side of the MMIC is oriented away from the RDL to reduce such EM coupling.

An evacuated core circuit board (10) for dissipating heat from a heat generating electronic component, the evacuated core circuit board comprising: at least one circuit layer (12) to which the heat generating electronic component (14) is electronically coupled; a base layer (16) a comprising a body structure (19) having a substantially hollow interior (20); and a dielectric layer (18) provided between at least a portion of the circuit layer (12) and the base layer (16), wherein the hollow interior (20) is at least partially evacuated.
