Apparatus For Applying A Mechanically-Releasable Balanced Compressive Load To An Assembly Such As A Compliant Anisotropic Conductive Elastomer Electrical Connector
View pageUS Patent:
6929484, Aug 16, 2005
Filed:
Jun 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/863377
Inventors:
Roger E. Weiss - Foxboro MA, US
Glenn M. Amber - Bridgewater MA, US
Glenn M. Amber - Bridgewater MA, US
International Classification:
H01R012/00
US Classification:
439 66
Abstract:
An apparatus for applying a mechanically-releasable balanced compressive load to an assembly such as a compliant electrical connector that electrically connects an electrical device to a first side of a two-sided substrate. The apparatus includes a backup plate coupled to the second side of the substrate, a rocker plate behind the backup plate, the rocker plate touching the backup plate at only one location, and a rigid member coupled to the first side of the substrate. There are three or more pins mechanically coupled to the rocker plate and the rigid member. When there are four or more pins, a rocker member is mechanically coupled to two of the pins, and in contact with the rocker plate at a single pivot. A compressible spring, mechanically coupled to a pin, applies a force, coupled through the pin, to urge the backup plate and rigid member together and thereby compress the compliant electrical connector between the electrical device and the substrate to make the separable electrical connection.
System For Loading A Heat Sink Mechanism Independently Of Clamping Load On Electrical Device

7242583, Jul 10, 2007
Filed:
Dec 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/737312
Inventors:
Glenn M. Amber - Bridgewater MA, US
Roger E. Weiss - Foxborough MA, US
Roger E. Weiss - Foxborough MA, US
Assignee:
Paricon Technologies, Corporation - Fall River MA
International Classification:
H05K 7/20
US Classification:
361707, 361704, 361709, 439487
Abstract:
A system for coupling a heat sink to an electrical device independently of a clamping member that is used to place a coupling force between the electrical device and a substrate to which the electrical device is to be electrically connected. The system includes a clamping member adapted to push the electrical device against the substrate, to assist in electrical connection between the electrical device and the substrate, the clamping member defining a through-hole leading to the electrical device. There is also a heat-conducting member in the clamping member through-hole and adapted to thermally contact the electrical device to conduct heat away from the electrical device. A heat sink is in thermal contact with the heat-conducting member, to dissipate heat from the electrical device.

Assignee:

International Classification:
H01R 1200
US Classification:
439 66
Abstract:
An apparatus for applying a mechanically-releasable balanced compressive load to a compliant anisotropic conductive elastomer (ACE) electrical connector that electrically connects an electrical device to a first side of a two-sided substrate. The apparatus includes a backup plate against the second side of the substrate, a rocker plate against the backup plate, the rocker plate touching the backup plate only at the center of the backup plate, and a rigid member on the electrical device. A plurality of pins are mechanically coupled to the rocker plate and the rigid member, and there is at least one spring member mechanically coupled to at least one pin. The spring applies a variable force coupled through the at least one pin to the rocker plate, to urge the backup plate and rigid member together and thereby compress the ACE between the electrical device and the substrate.
