Universal Substrate With Symmetric Terminal Patterns For Flexible Circuit Configurations

The patent designs a universal printed substrate with symmetric terminal patterns that can accommodate both series and parallel connections of electronic components. The substrate includes first, second, and third patterns with terminals arranged such that distances between corresponding terminals are equal, allowing the same substrate to be used for different circuit configurations without requiring multiple specialized substrates.

The substrate is divided into distinct functional patterns (first pattern, second pattern, third pattern) with clearly defined terminal positions. This segmentation allows flexible configuration where electronic components can be connected in different arrangements (series or parallel) by utilizing different terminal pairs, enabling one substrate to serve multiple circuit specification requirements.

The patent creates a single universal substrate design that can be manufactured once and used for multiple circuit specifications. The symmetric terminal arrangement allows the same substrate to support both series and parallel connections, eliminating the need to manufacture multiple different substrate types, thereby reducing production costs while maintaining configuration flexibility.

The substrate design uses equal distance relationships between terminals (distance between first and second patterns equals distance between second and third patterns) to enable parameter changes in circuit configuration. By changing how electronic components are connected to different terminal pairs, the same physical substrate can achieve different electrical characteristics without requiring different manufacturing parameters.
