Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a formed circuit component, wherein the surface of a substrate is roughened by being irradiated with laser ray instead of being etched using a chemical agent, thereby assuring sufficient adhesive strength with an electroless plating. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing a formed circuit component, which comprises: a first step of forming a substrate (1); a second step of radiating a first laser ray (2) and thereby roughening either a surface of the substrate (1) or only a circuit forming region (1a) of the substrate surface; a third step of applying a catalyst (3) to the surface of the substrate (1); a fourth step of drying the substrate (1); a fifth step of radiating a second laser ray (4), thereby lowering or eliminating the function of the catalyst (3) on a non-circuit forming region (1b); and a sixth step of electroless-plating the circuit forming region (1a) of the substrate surface.
Abstract:
A method of simultaneously manufacturing a plurality of connectors involves:molding a resin to form a connector member assembly containing multiple connector members, each member having one or two opposite longitudinally elongated through-holes extending between front and rear faces of the member along opposite sides thereof;forming a first metal coating on the front and rear faces and on an inner surface of each through-hole;providing metal-platable and non-metal-platable regions on each first-metal-coated front and rear face;forming a second metal coating on the metal-platable regions to form conductive patterns and on each first-metal-plated inner surface to form a conductive inner surface;removing the first metal coating from the non-metal-platable regions to form non-conductive patterns;then detaching each connector member from the connector assembly, each detached member having one or two side faces containing the metal-plated inner surface of the one or two through-holes; andremoving the first and second metal coatings from a portion of each side face to form a side-face conductive pattern disposed in electrical communication with the conductive patterns of the front and rear faces.
Abstract:
A molding pin for a metal die is prevented from breaking, solder is surely deposited, and thus, a circuit pitch can be reduced to the limit. On the front plane of a circuit board, prescribed circuit patterns made of a conductive material are formed, and on the rear plane, prescribed circuit patterns are also formed. On the circuit board, a through hole is formed to carry electricity between the circuit patterns on both planes. The inner shape of the through hole is narrow in a direction between the adjacent circuit patterns and wide in a circuit extending direction.
Abstract:
An electronic part having a complicated internal configuration is integrally molded without dividing the configuration into a plurality of sections, thereby reducing the cost and improving the quality of the electronic part. The manufacturing process comprises producing a core to be used in the subsequent injection molding, which corresponds to the complicated internal configuration of the electronic part, by the injection molding of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin containing an oxyalkylene group, producing a second stage product which has the core inserted therein and which has a ridgy projection as a circuit pattern forming area on the surface thereof by the injection molding of a metallization-grade aromatic polyester liquid crystalline polymer, immersing the second stage product in hot water under heating so as to dissolve the core away in hot water, roughening the surface of the second stage product and then providing a catalyst thereto so as to produce a third stage product, inserting the third stage product into a mold cavity and then injecting a nonmetallization-grade liquid crystalline polymer into the mold cavity encircling the third stage product by injection molding so that the surface excluding the ridgy projection as a circuit pattern forming area is coated with the liquid crystalline polymer so as to obtain a fourth stage product, and finally metallizing the surface of the circuit pattern forming area exposed on the external peripheral surface of the fourth stage product so as to form an electrically conductive circuit.
Abstract:
A molded electrical connector for connecting electrical conductors comprises a molding section in which a plurality of metallic circuits are arranged in parallel with one another at predetermined intervals and are fixedly molded with resin such that first end portions of the metallic circiuts are exposed as connecting terminals. The molded electrical connector further comprises a connecting section which comprises the connecting terminals. The connecting section is molded with resin simultaneously when the molding section is formed. Electrical conductors are placed on the connecting terminals of the metallic circuits and welded together.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a partially plated molded article and to a process for the production of a molded article which is partially plated with metal such as circuit boards, connectors, decorative articles, etc., where a catalyst such as palladium, gold, etc. is added after roughening of the surface of a primary molded article, and then, the molded article is inserted into the mold and a secondary article molded thereabout so that the portions to be plated with metal are exposed, and after such molding, the exposed portions are plated with metal. Alternatively, the catalyst may be applied after molding of the secondary article around the roughened primary molded article.
Abstract:
An electroconductive circuit, in which a masking material and a substrate both have low dielectric loss tangent to high-frequency signal and have excellent adhesion to each other, can be formed in a simple and low-cost manner. A cycloolefin resin with a flexible polymer mixed and dispersed therein is injection molded to form a primary substrate 1, and a cycloolefin resin having compatibility in which a flexible polymer has not been mixed, is injection molded on the surface of the primary substrate 1 to form a masking layer 2. Since the cycloolefin resin itself has etching resistance, for only the surface of the primary substrate 1 not covered with the masking layer 2, that is, only a part 1a on which an electroconductive circuit is to be formed, the flexible polymer can be dissolved for roughening and only the part 1a can be rendered hydrophilic. Accordingly, an electroconductive layer 4 can be selectively formed by electroless plating only onto the part 1a not covered with the masking layer 2.

The body includes a partition wall area having a plurality of housing grooves, partition walls, body notches, positioning projections and fastening pin reception apertures. The protective cover includes a plurality of cover notches, recesses and fastening pins to correspond respectively with the body notches, positioning projections and fastening pin reception apertures. Metal lines having connection terminals on their ends are embedded in the housing grooves. Lead wires are positioned in the grooves so that the conductors of the lead wires are placed on, and attached to, the connection terminals. The protective cover is then attached to the body.
