Abstract

A high-frequency transmission line includes an insulator as a base material, and also includes linear conductors configured to transmit signals. Through holes are provided at positions corresponding to the positions of the linear conductors. The high-frequency transmission line is arranged on a connector in a state in which the positions of the bottom ends of the through holes are respectively aligned with the positions of signal terminals provided on the connector. A conductive bonding material provided at the top ends of the through holes is fluidized when heat is applied thereto, and flows to the bottom ends of the through holes due to surface tension or capillarity. As a result, the linear conductors are electrically connected to the signal terminals respectively.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A connecting-and-fixing method for a cable, the method comprising:

a first step of preparing a high-frequency transmission line including a linear conductor that is disposed in an insulating base material and that includes a signal conductor to which a signal voltage is applied, the base material having a through hole at a position corresponding to a position of the linear conductor;
a second step of placing the high-frequency transmission line on a substrate in a state in which a position of a first end of the through hole is aligned with a position of a substrate terminal provided on the substrate;
and
a third step of fluidizing a conductive bonding material applied to a second end of the through hole and causing the conductive bonding material to flow through the through hole to the first end of the through hole to electrically connect the linear conductor disposed in the insulating material and including the signal conductor to the terminal.
