IPC Code(s): H05K1/11, H05K3/00, H05K3/30



Abstract: a method of fabricating a multilayer circuit board is provided which includes forming a layer of a the multilayer circuit board with an internal clearance region having a modified voltage-to-ground clearance of conductive material adjacent to an aperture of the multilayer circuit board. the modified voltage-to-ground clearance of conductive material is based on a configuration of a connector pin to be press-fit connected within the aperture of the multilayer circuit board, and the internal clearance region is enlarged in a direction of greatest normal force outward from the aperture with insertion of the connector pin into the aperture.


20240138074.REWORKING SOLDER COMPONENT WITHOUT PART REMOVAL_simplified_abstract_(international business machines corporation)

Inventor(s): Theron Lee Lewis of Rochester MN (US) for international business machines corporation, Timothy P. Younger of Rochester MN (US) for international business machines corporation, David J. Braun of St. Charles MN (US) for international business machines corporation, John R. Dangler of Rochester MN (US) for international business machines corporation

IPC Code(s): H05K3/34



Abstract: a method for forming an electronic device that includes solder bonding pins from a component to plated through holes of a board, the component being positioned on a first side of the board; and applying solder paste to openings of the plated through holes on a second side of the board opposite the first side of the board that the component is positioned on. the method can further include drawing the solder paste to the pins to provide a reworked solder bond bonding at least one of the pins to the plated through hole.
