A socket connector includes a housing defining a pair of rows of insertion cavities and an elastic fastener formed on a bottom wall of each insertion cavity. Each row of insertion cavities has at least one insertion cavity. The elastic fastener is adapted to engage a plug connector inserted into the insertion cavity.

Systems and methods for providing a PWB. The methods comprise: forming a Core Substrate (CS) a First Via (FV) formed therethrough; disposing a First Trace (FT) on an exposed surface of CS that is in electrical contact with FV; laminating a first HDI substrate to CS such that FT electrically connects FV via with a Second Via (SV) formed through the first HDI substrate; disposing a Second Trace (ST) on an exposed surface of the first HDI substrate that is in electrical contact with SV; and laminating a second HDI substrate to the first HDI substrate such that ST electrically connects SV to a Third Via (TV) formed through the second HDI substrate. SV comprises a buried via with a central axis spatially offset from central axis of FV and SV. FV and SV have diameters which are smaller than TV's diameter.

An electronic component (E), including at least one circuit carrier (1), which is populated with a number of mechanical and/or electronic component parts (2 to 4) and has at least one contact opening (1.3) for forming a mechanical and/or electrical contact-connection point (KS) to at least one of the component parts (2 to 4), wherein at least one of the component parts (4) is at a distance from the circuit carrier (1), includes at least one electrically conductive housing (4.1) and at least one electrical contact element (4.2) projecting out of the housing (4.1), the contact element being insulated from the housing (4.1) and being connected at least in a materially bonded manner to the contact opening (1.3) of the circuit carrier (1), wherein at least one seal element (5) is arranged in the region of the contact-connection point (KS), in particular between the circuit carrier (1) and the housing (4) of the component part (4).

Assembly workability of an electric compressor to which an inverter circuit section and a filter circuit section are attached is improved. The inverter circuit section (3) includes an inverter control board (17), a sleeve assembly (18), and a power module (14). The inverter control board, the sleeve assembly, and the power module are integrated. The filter circuit section (4) includes a filter circuit board (66) and a support member (67). The filter circuit board (66) and the support member (67) are integrated. The inverter circuit section and the filter circuit section are structured to be capable of being stored each individually within an inverter storing section (8) from the same direction and detachably attached to the housing (2).

A manufacturing method for a circuit board in which a pin inserted in a through-hole of a land is welded to the land is disclosed. The land is covered with a white layer, and an irradiation angle of a laser beam with respect to the circuit board is adjusted so that reflected light of the laser beam emitted to the pin reaches the white layer on the land. As the reflected light of the laser beam is allowed to reach a white region provided on the land, the reflected light is scattered on the white region. A rate of absorption of the laser beam by the land is decreased, and a temperature increase of the land is restrained. As a result, a damage of an insulating part around the land is restrained.
