Problems solved by technology

[0003] A difficulty that may be encountered in practice is that there is no guarantee that the chosen coating process will not cause the conductive material to stick to the uncoated body areas
This is especially unfavorable for small structures and mass production processes

Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 Shown is a component 10 of the invention designed as an interface component (or adapter) for attachment to a PCB, the interface component forming a molded interconnect device (MID). MID technology enables parts to be molded in plastic, with areas selectively overcoated so that certain areas can carry electrical signals.

[0027] figure 1 The adapter shown is used to connect four coaxial line connectors 12 to one printed circuit board. Each coaxial cable connector 12 includes an outer sheath and an inner pin located at the center, and the function of the interface component 10 is to connect the two terminals of these connectors 12 to the PCB in an isolated manner using a conductive covering area.

[0028] In some instances, the outer sheath of each coaxial connector 12 will be grounded, so there is actually no requirement for the outer sheath to be separately connected to the PCB. Instead, you can connect them all together. Although the design described belo...

Abstract

A method of manufacturing an electrical component having at least two conductive tracks formed on the surface of a body of the component comprises moulding a structure defining first and second spaced portions connected by one or more connecting tabs and plating the structure with a conductive layer. A further moulding step fills the spacing between the first and second portions and the connecting tabs project outside an outer surface of the component. The are removed to isolate the first and second portions from each other. The insulating parts of the component are not subjected to the plating process, and there is therefore no risk of short circuit between the plated areas. The tabs maintain the structural integrity of the initial moulded structure to hold the structure together during the further moulding step, but can then be removed to enable different areas of the interface component to be electrically isolated from each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical component having a body defining isolated conductive tracks on its surface. Such components may include an interface component having terminals connected together by wires. As one example, the interface component may be used to attach to a printed circuit board (PCB) such that an electrical interface can be formed between the PCB and one or more signal connectors, such as radio frequency (RF) connectors. Background technique [0002] The applicant's European patent EP0865120 discloses an interface component comprising a plastic body connected to a PCB and providing connection routes for a plurality of RF connectors. The plastic body is molded in a two-stage process such that different portions of the outer surface of the interface part are defined by different plastic materials. An optional overlay process overcoats a plastic material such that the conductive paths are defined between the RF connector an...
