A method of making a printed circuit board pallet is provided. The method of making the pallet illustratively includes the steps of: providing a base in a form of a polymer sheet stock; applying a fluid onto the base at selective locations where the pallet will be built-up to a three-dimensional form; depositing a polymer powder onto the base at the selective locations applied with the fluid; removing any excess amounts of the polymer powder not adhered to the fluid; and heating the pallet to fuse the polymer powder together and to the base.

Pattern transfer printing (PTP) systems and methods are provided to improve the quality, accuracy and throughput of pattern transfer printing. PTP systems comprise a tape handling unit for handling a tape with pattern transfer sheets sections and for controllably delivering the pattern transfer sheets one-by-one for paste filling and consecutively for pattern transfer, with the tape moving from an unwinder roll to a re-winding roll. PTP systems further comprise a paste filling unit which enables continuous paste filling using a supporting counter roll opposite to the paste filling head, a wafer handling unit controllably delivering wafers for the pattern transfer in a parallelized manner that increases throughput, a paste transfer unit with enhanced accuracy and efficiency due to exact monitoring and wafer alignment, as well as a print quality control unit.

A subassembly for efficiently and reliably assembling a high performance electronic device. The electronic device may include numerous cabled interconnects in a subassembly that is subsequently mechanically and electrically connected to a PCB populated with high performance electronic components. First ends of cables in the cabled interconnects may be terminated by a first type of connector configured for connection to the PCB via a downward force. The second ends of the cables may be terminated with a second type of connectors that may make connections to other portions of an electronic system incorporating the electronic device. The connectors at the first ends of the cables may be releasably held within an organizer. The connectors may be simply mounted to the PCB by positioning the organizer with respect to the PCB, releasing the connectors from the organizer, and pushing the connectors into engagement with mounting locations on the PCB.

The present invention relates to a printing method comprising a step of printing a pattern on a substrate, preferably by ink jet printing, followed by a gold plating step by means of contact between the pre-printed pattern to be gold plated and a gold plating deposition device, such as a preferably conductive metal sheet, e.g. a multilayer film comprising a preferably conductive metal sheet.

A printed wiring board and the like in which local deviations of characteristics of a bamse member using a liquid crystal polymer are reduced. A printed wiring board uses a liquid crystal polymer having wiring formed on at least one surface as a bamse member, in which the bamse member has a degree of crystal orientation of the liquid crystal polymer of 0.3 or less in a plane direction.

A method is provided for producing a printed circuit board including at least one conductor element, which extends between connection points in the printed circuit board. In order to increase the productivity of a known method for producing a printed circuit board including at least one conductor element, which extends between connection points in the printed circuit board, the method comprises the following steps: Step A: providing a mold having at least one receptacle for a conductor element; Step B: arranging a conductor element in the receptacle of the mold; Step C: connecting the conductor element arranged in the receptacle of the mold to an electrically conductive sheetlike element at positions of the intended connection points; Step D: embedding the conductor element, which is connected to the electrically conductive sheetlike element, into insulating material; and Step E: working out the connection points from the electrically conductive sheetlike element.

A method of making a component includes applying a clamping force to the component, the component coupled to a carrier strip of a panel via a polymeric tab and separating a portion of the polymeric tab from a substrate of the component, thereby causing the component to be detached from the panel.

Systems and methods in which dot-like portions of a material (e.g., a viscous material such as a solder paste) are printed or otherwise transferred onto an intermediate substrate at a first printing unit, the intermediate substrate having the dot-like portions of material printed thereon is transferred to a second printing unit, and the dot-like portions of material are transferred from the intermediate substrate to a final substrate at the second printing unit. Optionally, the first printing unit includes a coating system that creates a uniform layer of the material on a donor substrate, and the material is transferred in the individual dot-like portions from the donor substrate onto the intermediate substrate at the first printing unit. Each of the first and second printing units may employ a variety of printing or other transfer technologies. The system may also include material curing and imaging units to aid in the overall process.
