Abstract

A hybrid circuit (1) is provided with solderable edge connections (2). The circuit is mounted in a frame (3) provided with contacts (4). Each contact has a resilient inner contact portion (4a) which bears against a corresponding edge connection and an outer contact portion (4b) which transmits heat and pressure to the inner contact portion when deflected by a special soldering tool (6). <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Mounting hybrid circuits This invention relates to the mounting of hybrid circuits using soldered connections.
A hybrid circuit is defined as one or more monolithic circuits used in conjunction with discrete circuit components on an interconnecting thick or thin film or printed circuit board. One form of hybrid circuit comprises a substrate, e.g. of ceramic material, on which the monolithic circuit(s) and the discrete components are mounted and interconnected by a thick film circuit pattern. Such a hybrid circuit is then mounted in a base card using soldered joints to make input and output electrical connections between the circuit pattern on the substrate and electrical conductors on the base card.
According to the invention a method of mounting a hybrid circuit, as hereinbefore defined, comprises the steps of providing on the edge surfaces of the substrate carrying the hybrid circuit a plurality of solderable electrical connections for the interconnecting circuit of the hybrid circuit, locating the hybrid circuit in a mounting frame provided with a corresponding plurality of solderable contacts spring urged into contact with the substrate connections, and soldering the connections to the contacts.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the spring urged contacts are each formed with an inner contact portion which makes contact with the substrate connection and an outer contact portion adapted to bear against a soldering tool whereby both heat and pressure from the soldering tool may be transmitted to the inner contact portion during the act of soldering.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 illustrates a mounting arrangement for a hybrid circuit, and Fig. 2 illustrates a soldering tool suitable for use with the mounting arrangement of Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 shows a substrate 1, on which a hybrid circuit (not shown in detail) is formed. The substrate is provided with solderable connections 2 on its edge surfaces. The substrate is located on a mounting frame 3 carried on a base card 5. the mounting frame is provided with contacts 4 which each have an inner contact portion 4a, spring urged by its own resilience against the edge connection 2, and an outer contact portion 4b. The stem 4c of the contact protrudes through the base card to enable wiring connections to be made thereto. It will be appreciated that a hybrid circuit may have many edge connections spaced around its substrate edges.To effect a satisfactory electrical connection between the contact 4 and the edge connection 2 a soldering. tool 6 is moved downwardly over the outer contact portion 4b causing the inner contact portion 4a to bear with increased pressure against the substrate edge connection 2. When the soldering tool 6 is heated heat flows from the outer contact portion 4b to the inner contact portion 4a to effect soldering between the inner contact portion 4a and the edge connection 2.
A form of soldering tool suitable for simultaneously soldering the edge connections on all four edges of a rectangular substrate is shown in Fig. 2.
Two copper plates 20, 21 are separated by an electrically insulating film 22. The plates are secured together by insulating screws and bolts 23. From two opposing corners 25a of plate 20 and the other two corners 25b of plate 21 depend four copper brackets 26. Joining each adjacent pair of brackets 26 is a copper heating element 27. The two plates 20, 21 are connected by way of conductors bolted through holes 28, 29 to a power source (not shown). The tool may thus be placed over a rectangular substrate to make contact with the outer contacts simultaneously. When current flows through tool the plates 20, 21 remain cool due to their large area and low impedance whilst the narrow heating elements 27 heat up due to their relatively high impedance.
Demounting of the hybrid circuit can readily be accomplished using the same tool. The tool is fitted over the contacts and heat is applied to melt the soldered joints. Whilst the solder is molten the hybrid circuit can be pushed clear of the contacts, e.g. by a rod inserted through a hole in the base card beneath the hybrid circuit.
