An electric contact using resin solder is connected to a printed circuit board, which has a conductor provided on a surface thereof. This electric contact comprises a leg, which contacts the conductor of the printed circuit board, and a connecting part, which is connected to the conductor of the counterpart member. At least a part of the leg, which contacts the conductor of the printed circuit board, is made of a lead-free ultrahigh-conductive plastic being a conductive resin composite. An electric connector includes the electric contact and an insulating housing, which holds the electric contact so that the part of the leg, which contacts the conductor of the printed circuit board, is exposed.

An assembly having a surface mounted electronic device mounted onto a printed circuit board and a thermoplastic adhesive applied to the surface mounted electronic device facing the printed circuit board and providing for a gap between the thermoplastic adhesive and the printed circuit board. The assembly is heated at solder reflow temperatures to at least soften the thermoplastic adhesive sufficiently to flow across the gap and provide a thermoplastic adhesive joint between the surface mounted electronic device and the printed circuit board.

First circuit board 10 including first resin base material 12 which is softened by heating and has a fusing property, and a plurality of first conductor patterns 14 formed on a surface of first resin base material 12, and second circuit board 20 on which a plurality of second conductor patterns 24 are formed with the same pitch as that of first conductor patterns 14 are provided. In the configuration, first conductor patterns 14 and second conductor patterns 24 are brought into mechanical contact with each other to provide electrical conduction; first resin base material 12 covers first conductor patterns 14 and second conductor patterns 24 and is bonded to second resin base material 22 of second circuit board 20, thereby connecting first circuit board 10 and second circuit board 20 to each other.

A method of producing a circuit board includes a step of providing a conductive paste including metal nano-particles at an insulating substrate, and a step of sintering the conductive paste so as to form a circuit conductor. In the sintering step, the conductive paste is sintered in a low-oxygen condition including alcohol such that the metal nano-particles are sintered.

The present invention provides a multilayer printed wiring board having a filled viahole structure advantageously usable for forming a fine circuit pattern thereon, and having an excellent resistance against cracking under a thermal shock or due to heat cycle. The multilayer printed wiring board is comprised of conductor circuitry layers and interlaminar insulative resin layers deposited alternately one on another, the interlaminar insulative resin layers each having formed through them holes each filled with a plating layer to form a viahole. The surface of the plating layer exposed out of the hole for the viahole is formed substantially flat and lies at a substantially same level as the surface of the conductor circuit disposed in the interlaminar insulative resin layer. The thickness of the conductor circuitry layer is less than a half of the viahole diameter and less than 25 μm. The inner wall of the hole formed in the interlaminar insulative resin layer is roughened and an electroless plating layer is deposited on the roughened surface. An electroplating layer is filled in the hole including the electroless plating layer to form the viahole. The interlaminar insulative resin layer is formed from a composite of a fluororesin showing a high fracture toughness and a heat-resistant thermoplastic resin, a composite of fluororesin and thermosetting resin or a composite of thermosetting and thermoplastic resins.

A flexible circuit electrode array with more than one layer of metal traces comprising: a polymer base layer; more than one layer of metal traces, separated by polymer layers, deposited on said polymer base layer, including electrodes suitable to stimulate neural tissue; and a polymer top layer deposited on said polymer base layer and said metal traces. Polymer materials are useful as electrode array bodies for neural stimulation. They are particularly useful for retinal stimulation to create artificial vision, cochlear stimulation to create artificial hearing, or cortical stimulation many purposes. The pressure applied against the retina, or other neural tissue, by an electrode array is critical. Too little pressure causes increased electrical resistance, along with electric field dispersion. Too much pressure may block blood flow.
