Abstract
A printed circuit board (PCB) (4) including an upper surface having one or more electrical terminals (9) thereon, said terminal adapted for connection to corresponding terminal of one or more electrical components, and further including one or more platforms (10) fabricated thereon, said platforms being located adjacent to corresponding component terminals, said platforms being adapted to support an electrical component thereupon, such that a portion of the component overhangs said platform above said corresponding PCB terminal.
Claims11
A printed circuit board (PCB) including an upper surface having one or electrical terminals thereon, said terminal adapted for connection to corresponding terminal of one or more electrical components, and further including one or more platforms fabricated thereon, said platforms being located adjacent to corresponding component terminals, said platforms being adapted to support an electrical component thereupon, such that a portion of the component overhangs said platform above said corresponding PCB terminal.
A PCB having one or more electrical terminals located on an upper surface thereof, and including one or more component platforms fabricated thereon, said platforms being located adjacent to one or more electrical terminals, and further including one or more components located on said corresponding platforms such that a portion of said component overhangs said platform, and wherein the underside of the overhang portion of the component includes an component electrical terminal, and is positioned substantially above said corresponding PCB electrical terminal.
A method of fabricating a PCB comprising :
- a) providing a substrate having one or more PCB electrical terminals fabricated on the upper surface thereof adapted for electrical connection to corresponding terminals on components;
- b) fabricating one or more platforms onto said PCB upper surface, adjacent to one or more PCB electrical terminals;
- c) adding one or more components onto corresponding platforms, such that a portion of said component overhangs said platform above a corresponding PCB electrical terminal, said overhang portion including a component electrical terminal on its underside;
- d) forming a solder or weld connection between said PCB electrical terminal and corresponding component terminal.
