Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for mounting electronic components on wiring boards using adhesives are labor-intensive and costly, especially when forming multiple conductor patterns on adhesive layers, which increases the overall cost and complexity.

Innovation Solution

A wiring sheet with an adhesive layer is used to indirectly mount electronic components on a wiring board, where the component is first mounted on the adhesive layer of the sheet, and the sheet is then fitted to the board, establishing conduction through the sheet between the component and the board, thereby avoiding the need for an adhesive layer on the entire board surface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conductor patterns are formed on an adhesive layer by printing, then the electronic component can be mounted on the wiring board using adhesive, but the manufacturing cost and labor increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the adhesive layer into two separate functional parts: a mounting adhesive layer on the wiring board for mechanical attachment, and a conductor pattern on a separate conductive sheet for electrical connection. This segmentation eliminates the need to form conductor patterns directly on the adhesive layer, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining mounting reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces a separate conductive sheet as an intermediary between the electronic component and the wiring board. This conductive sheet carries the conductor patterns and makes electrical contact with the mounting structure, allowing the adhesive layer to focus solely on mechanical bonding without the added complexity of integrated conductor patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If an adhesive layer is formed on the entire surface of the wiring board, then the electronic component can be securely mounted, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies adhesive only in the local area where the electronic component needs to be mounted, rather than covering the entire wiring board surface. This localized adhesive application reduces material consumption and manufacturing cost while maintaining secure mounting through the concentrated adhesive presence at the component mounting location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
