The universal serial bus bar connector 20 includes a small connector substrate 16, usually a substrate made of white ceramic, black rigid plastic, or other strong material. The connector substrate 16 is formed with four or more metal contact points 18, metal contact points. 18 transmits the generated universal sequence bus signal, or receives the signal 9 through the controller chip 14, the universal sequence bus signal includes electronic, ground, and continuous different data D+, D- 通用 public common sequence bus connection The device 20 includes a metal casing to wrap around the connector substrate 16, and the metal casing contacts the three sides of the connector substrate 16, and the upper side of the connector substrate 16 There is a metal contact 18, and there is a large gap between the top of the metal casing and 8200926394. The upper and lower sides of the metal casing are provided with holes 15' and the universal serial bus connector 2 is a type A universal Serial Bus Connector - See Figure 24(B), which shows a female universal serial bus socket connector 22 'The parent universal serial bus socket connector 22 can be used as a pc or other host system One of the integral parts may be connected to a host system by the electric gauge line 21. The other connector substrate 26 includes four gold-like contact points 28' for electrical connection to the four metal contacts of the common-purpose serial bus connector 20 shown in Figure 24(A) ( Eiectr丨cal contact). The connector substrate 26 is covered by a metal casing, but there is still a small gap between the metal casing and the connector substrate 26 on the lower three sides. The fixed function can be provided by the metal springs 24 on the upper and lower sides of the metal casing'. Please refer to Figures 25(A) and 25(B), when the common sequence is converged in Figure 25(A). When the row connector 20 is turned over and inserted into the female universal serial bus socket connector 22 in FIG. 25(B), the metal spring 24 is fixed in the hole 15 of the common-purpose serial bus connector 20. . See Figures 25(A) and 25(B), both of which are cross-sectional views to highlight the connection between the common-purpose serial bus connector and the female universal serial bus socket connector. The female universal serial bus socket connector 22 is on the left side, and the common universal serial bus connector 20 is inserted from the right side, and the common universal serial bus connector 20 is turned over with respect to the view angle of the 24th (A) diagram. of. Metal 9 200926394 Contact FIG. 18 is the lower surface of the connector substrate 16 formed on the common-purpose serial bus connector 2, and the metal contact 28 is formed on the female common-strip bus connector 22 The upper surface of the connector substrate 26, therefore, when the common-common serial bus connector 2 is inserted into the female universal serial bus socket connector 22, the metal contact points face each other so that the circuit is connected, such as the 25th ( B) As shown in the figure. The metal spring 24 is formed on the metal casing of the female universal serial bus socket connector 22, which covers the connector substrate 26, and fits in the hole 15 of the metal casing of the common-purpose serial bus connector 20. Helps to secure the connectors together. Referring to Figure 26, there is shown a small universal serial bus connector for use with a conventional universal serial bus flash memory card. The volume of the common-purpose serial bus connector 2〇 shown in Fig. 25 and the % diagram is larger, especially the metal casing is cumbersome, and the manufacturing cost is increased. Therefore, the common sequence can be made by β. The bus bar connector 30 is integrated with the motherboard 32 to reduce cost. The motherboard 32 is a printed circuit board having a flash memory chip 12 and a controller chip 14 fixed thereto, the motherboard 32 extending to be sufficient to accommodate the common universal serial row connector 3G and having a metal The contact point (4) is at the end 36 of the motherboard 32. The end 36 of the motherboard 32 includes a common general-purpose serial bus connector. The width and thickness of the connector 36 are designed to conform to the connector base 200926394 board 16 in Figure 24(a). The motherboard 32, but for the metal contact 38, is provided with an opening covering the bottom and sides of the common-purpose serial bus connector 30 to the end 36 to simulate - The metal casing of the common-purpose serial busbar connector in Figure 24(A). Referring to Figures 27(A) and 27(B), there are shown cross-sectional views of the conventional small universal serial bus connector inserted into a standard female universal serial bus socket connector. The motherboard 32 has a common universal busbar connector © 30 formed at the end 36, which is turned from the perspective of Figure 26, which is inserted from the right into the female universal serial bus socket connector 22. The metal contact 38 is Located on the lower surface of the common-purpose serial bus connector 3', the plastic outer casing 34 has an opening on the lower surface of the common-purpose serial bus connector 30 to expose the contact point 38, so when inserted The electrical connection to the metal contact 28 of the upper surface of the connector substrate 26 of the female universal serial bus socket connector 22 can be made as shown in Figure 27(B). The plastic housing 34 is adapted to fill the gap between the upper edge of the metal housing of the motherboard 32 and the female universal serial bus socket connector 22. However, there is no plastic housing 34. Any holes are provided 'so that' when the male universal serial bus connector 30 is inserted into the female universal serial bus socket connector 22, simply push the metal spring 24 slightly. The plastic housing 34 is formed along the thin edge of the motherboard 32 to facilitate filling between the connector substrate 26 and the edge of the metal housing 11 200926394 of the female serial bus socket connector 22, ie The gap above and below the plane is (as shown in Figure 27(B)). Although the small universal serial bus connector 30 is cheaper and smaller than the standard universal serial bus connector, it has an undesired thickness, and the use of a metal casing can reduce the size of the plug end, but in the conventional In the manufacturing process, the universal serial bus 1C is fixed on a printed circuit board on the same side as the metal contact point, and the manufactured host is relatively thick. Therefore, there is a real need for a flat, small, common universal busbar arrangement that has an ultra-thin handle thickness, thereby allowing an ultra-thin universal serial busbar device to be combined with a pocket carrier, such as a keyring and Pocket tools and the like, therefore, there is a need for a method of making such a small universal serial busbar arrangement. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a lightweight, short, small, universal serial busbar assembly in which the thickness of the handle structure of the universal serial busbar assembly is substantially the same as the thickness of the plug structure of the conventional serial And being small coplanar with the small (half height) thickness of the plug structure of the universal serial busbar arrangement. The thickness of the small plug structure is determined by a plug receiving space between the metal contact point and the metal casing of the standard female universal serial bus socket connector, and the plug structure further has a width 'the width and the The width of the space received by the corresponding plug defined by the standard female universal serial bus socket connector is the same, so 'between the plug structure and the standard female universal serial bus socket connection 12 200926394, there is just right (firm The size of the space is matched to reduce the overall thickness of the universal serial busbar device to the thickness of the plug structure. A printed-brush circuit board assembly is provided that includes metal contact points formed on a first-surface (above) of a printed circuit board, and all of the ic components (eg, a universal serial bus controller chip, flash memory) A wafer or the like is attached to the opposite surface of the printed circuit board. Next, a housing is molded over the element (that is, overlying the lower surface of the printed circuit board assembly), the housing including a plug portion extending to a point of contact with the metal to Providing the required thickness of the plug structure; and a handle portion to cover the IC component. The housing has a flat surface parallel to the printed circuit board and extending along the entire length of the universal serial busbar assembly (eg, from the front edge of the plug structure up to the trailing edge of the handle structure), thus the handle The thickness of the structure is actually the same as the thickness of the plug structure, which is necessary to ensure and securely connect to a standard female universal serial bus socket connector, thus creating a flat, small (thin) ©, structure It can be easily carried in the user's pocket or combined with a tool (utiuty _).

Referring to the upper portion of the first (A) diagram, the printed circuit board assembly 110 includes a printed circuit board (printed circuit board) m, and the printed circuit board is packaged a printed circuit board handle portion 112 at the end of the printed circuit board (1) 200926394, and a printed circuit board plug portion 114 at the end of the printed circuit board η. The printed circuit board 1U is actually a planar substrate having - The opposite two faces are respectively an upper surface (first) 116 and a lower surface (second) 118. Four metal contact points 120 are formed on the upper surface 116 of the plug portion ι14, and the metal contact points 120 are generally used. The printed circuit board U1 is formed according to a conventional printed circuit board process technology, and thus the metal contact point 12〇' IC chip 丨3〇 and © Π5, and The passive components 142, 144, and 140 are interconnected by a pre-defined network including conductive traces 131 and 136 and other conductive structures sandwiched between conductive materials (eg, FR4). Between the multilayer structure and the adhesive. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a passive component is secured to the lower surface 118 using one or more standard Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and directly encapsulates the circuit board using a wafer (Chip 〇n B〇ard, The ❹COB) technique fixes one or more integrated circuit (integrate), ic) dies (eg, controller IC die 130 and flash memory die 135). As described in FIG. 1(B), in the SMT manufacturing process, the passive components such as capacitor 142, oscillator 144, and a Ught Emitting Diode (LED) 146 are fixed to be disposed under The contact pads on the surface 118 (this section will be detailed later) 'and then fixed on the contact pad using conventional lead-free reflow soldering (Yang 1 (^1^#丨0)) technique. In order to make the 81 ^ The 200926394 process is easy to implement, and each passive component is packaged in any of a variety of known (preferably lead-free) SMT packages (eg, BaU GHd Array (BGA)) or thin small outline packages (Thin Small Outline). Package, tsop). Conversely, the IC dies 130 and 135 are unpackaged, and the semiconductor 'wafer' is attached to the lower surface 118 and electrically connected to the corresponding contact pads using conventional C〇B techniques. For example, as shown in the first (B) diagram, the control 1C die 130 is connected to the printed circuit board 111 by a bonding wire 〇6〇_丨 formed by a conventional technique, and similarly, Flash memory 1C die 135 is then electrically connected to the wire using wire bond 160-2 Printed circuit board U1. Passive components 142, 144 and 146, 1C die 130 and 135, and metal contacts 12A can be interconnected by conductive lines or metal lines (con ve/metai traces m and 130). Conductive lines or metal lines (10) This (9) ~ / cut (five) traces 131 and 136 are formed on the printed circuit board 111 using conventional techniques, some of which are simply drawn in dotted lines in the third (A) diagram. © Outside shouting 15〇 contains molded plastic, so virtually all plastic used to form the outer casing 150 is located below the printed circuit board U1 (that is, on one side of the printed circuit board), the housing 15 A peripheral wall 151 extends downward (in other words, perpendicular to the printed circuit board ηι), and a lower surface 152 extends parallel to the printed circuit board ill. According to the above discussion (1: 〇11 discussi〇n purposes), The peripheral wall 151 is partially surrounded by the handle portion 112' of the printed circuit board 1U and is referred to as a handle surface portion ι51_1; and the peripheral wall ι51 200926394 is partially enclosed by the plug portion 114 of the printed circuit board 1U, below It is the plug surface portion 151-2. The same 'the lower surface 152 partially covers the handle portion U2 of the printed circuit board U1, hereinafter referred to as the handle surface portion ^2"; * and the lower surface I52 partially covers the printing The plug portion 114 of the circuit board 111, hereinafter referred to as the plug surface portion 152-2. Please refer to the figure (A) of the general-purpose serial busbar device 1 . The handle structure 102 is composed of the handle surface portion 151_丨, the handle surface portion ί52 ι, © and the handle portion exposed to the printed circuit board. 112 is defined by the upper surface 116; likewise, the plug structure 1〇5 of the universal serial busbar device 1 is composed of the plug surface portion 151_2, the plug surface portion 152 2, and the exposure to the printed circuit board The upper surface 116 of the plug portion 114 is defined. Referring to Figures 2(A) and 2(B), the thickness T1 and width W1/W2 of the plug portion 1〇5 are selected to produce a just (firm) standard female universal serial bus socket connection. The interior of the device 22 (described above). Please refer to ® Figure 2(A) ' at the metal contact point 28 (in other words, the lower surface of the connector substrate 26) and the height H between the lower wall 23 A surrounding the metal casing is in accordance with the general sequence The standard setting of the row is approximately 2.5 mm. The thickness τ 1 is then set, for example, to 2.4 mm to ensure that the plug structure 105 just meets the area 25 A below the inner common busbar socket connector 22 (in other words, there is no significant up and down swing). And the plug structure 1Q5 has metal contact points 120 to ensure electrical connection to the metal contact 28 (as described in Figure 2(B)) 200926394. Similarly, the width w/wi between the metal casing side walls 23B_ and 23B-2 is approximately 12 〇 mm + / - 0.1 mm according to the general sequence busbar standard; and the width of the plug structure 1 〇 5 W2 (that is, between - the width between the outermost surfaces of the side walls 151-2A and 15UB) is set to, for example, 12 mm, so as to further ensure that the plug structure 1〇5 just fits the parent general-purpose serial bus socket The lower portion 25A of the interior of the connector 22. Please note that the plug structure 105 is hereinafter referred to as "small (1〇w_pr〇file), and "half-height"" where the plug structure 1〇5 is only inserted into the parent universal serial bus The lower portion 25A of the receptacle connector 22 (i.e., the side regions 25B-1 and 25B-2 and the upper region 25C are typically filled by a metal housing of a standard common serial busbar header connector, rather than by the small The plug structure 1〇5 is filled.) As shown in Fig. 1(B), according to another object of the present invention, the housing 15 includes a flat surface 152 parallel to the printed circuit board 1U, bounded by a single side Therefore, the first thickness T1 of the plug structure 105 (that is, the thickness measured from the printed circuit board upper surface 116 and the flat surface 152 adjacent to the metal contact 12〇) is substantially The second thickness Η of the handle portion 1 () 2 is the same (i.e., the thickness measured from the printed circuit board upper surface 116 and the flat surface 152 adjacent to the 3535 •). The figure shows the 'general sequence busbar device 1〇〇 the entire length actually The upper is flat (that is, from the rear edge 151-1A to the front edge 151_1B). The word "real 20 200926394 horizontal flat 60 means that the flat table & 152 is the same with the universal sequence The uppermost side surfaces of the entire length of the bus bar device 100 are parallel. In the particular embodiment shown in Figures 1(A) and 1(B), the uppermost side surface of the universal serial busbar device 100 is defined by the upper surface 116 of the printed circuit board lu, It is parallel to the flat surface 152 along the entire length of the universal serial busbar device 100. Similarly, the term "actually flat" is also in the specific embodiment described above, wherein the outer casing comprises a thin-walled structure that is in or in contact with the upper surface of the printed circuit board. In an embodiment, the thickness T2 of the handle structure 102 may be slightly different (for example, 5% from the thickness T1 of the plug structure 105). According to one of the objects of the present invention, the general-purpose serial busbar device 1 The so-called "flat" is achieved by fixing all IC dies (wafers) and other electronic components of the universal serial busbar device 100 on the lower surface 118 of the printed circuit board U1 (ie, the opposite of the metal contact 120). The other side) is used for this purpose, so that the overall minimum thickness of the universal serial busbar device 100 is determined by the thickness T1 in the plug structure 105 and the female universal serial bus socket connector 22 (eg, Between 2(B), the thickness τι must be maintained as a good one, because this arrangement must give the metal contact 120 on the uppermost surface, the plug surface portion 151-2, and the plug cover. The portion 152_2 can be extended to a predetermined distance below the printed circuit board 111 to provide the necessary thickness T. Therefore, by the 1C die 130 and 135 and the passive component 21 200926394 111 the lower surface 118, (for example: The capacitor 142) is only fixed to the printed circuit board and the total thickness of the universal serial busbar device 100 is reduced. Therefore, if the 1C die and the passive component are fixed to the upper surface 116, the universal sequence busbar is caused. The total thickness of the structure must be the thickness T1 plus the thickness of Ic extending above the printed circuit board iH (if a protective wall is added in this manner). According to another aspect of the invention, 1(A) and 帛i(8) diagrams * Body embodiment 'The upper surface 116 of the printed circuit lu is entirely exposed to the upper surface 116 of the universal serial busbar device 100, thus, so as to have a maximum thickness The universal structure busbar device 100' having the same thickness T1 of the plug structure 105 is formed on the upper surface 116 because the metal contact point 12 is defined, and the upper surface 116 defines a higher thickness T1 of the desired plug structure. The overall height of the universal serial busbar device can be reduced by exposing the upper surface 116 (that is, any point on the printed circuit board surface 116 becomes the highest point of the universal serial busbar device 100) As described in FIG. 1(A), in particular, according to the special microstrip of the universal serial busbar device, the peripheral wall 151 extends and covers the periphery of the peripheral edge of the printed circuit board ln, and the periphery The upper edge of the wall 151 is coplanar with the upper surface n6 of the printed circuit board m. By covering the peripheral side edge of the printed circuit board 1U, the peripheral wall 15 1 prevents foreign objects from being inserted into the printed circuit board.

For the novel method, in summary, a printed circuit board panel is fabricated using known techniques (block 210), and a passive component is secured to the printed circuit board panel using SMT technology (block 225/220) The 1C die is die bonded (block 236/246) and wire bonded (block 238/248) using known c〇B techniques; then, the plastic melted knee is formed to form a molded case at The passive component and the IC die (block 240/250); then the printed circuit board panel is singulated (cut) into a separate universal serial bus arrangement (block 25〇/26〇); the independent universal sequence The busbar device prints (box 26〇/27〇); then the general sequence busbar device is tested, packaged, and shipped (blocks 270/280). This approach offers several advantages over traditional manufacturing methods that only utilize SMT technology. The first - 'Using COB technology to fix the universal serial bus + row controller and flash memory' is usually a lot of space occupied by these devices. Significantly reduced, the general-purpose serial busbar device can be significantly miniaturized in pin size. Second, by performing the wafer polishing method described below, the height of the die can be greatly reduced, thereby facilitating the memory arrangement of the stack, as described below with respect to Figure 18. Compared to the traditional manufacturing method, the molded case also provides excellent moisture and water resistance and a higher impact resistance.

Fig. 12 is a top view showing the printed circuit board panel 3 ( t3 ) after the wire bonding process is completed. 13(A) and 13(B) are simplified cross-sections of a printed circuit board panel 300 (t3) using a molding process to form a molded outer casing layer according to block 250' illustrated in FIG. Side view. As shown in the figure (3), after the wire bonding process is completed, the universal sequence bus bar panel 3〇〇(〇) is loaded to a mold machine 450, which includes a mold machine 450. A cover plate 452' is secured over the lower surface U6 of the printed circuit board panel 3(t3) and defines a chamber 456 for placement on the 1C wafer, bond wires, and passive components Above, these ICs: wafers, bonding wires, and passive components are attached to the lower/upper surface 116. Please note that no molding material is used on the upper surface 118/116. Here, the method of transfer molding is selected because of the accuracy and low cycle time of the transfei molding tooling. The granulated molding material is preheated and loaded with a pot or a chamber (not shown), as described in paragraph 32 of the i3(b), 200926394, 'then utilizing a piston (not shown) Passing the molding material from the POT through a channel known as a spruce and runner system into the mold cavity 456, causing the molten material to form a molding layer 458 to encapsulate all 1C wafers and passively An element and covering all exposed areas on the lower surface 116/118. The model (m〇ld) remains closed because the molding material is filled and fills all of the vacancies of the master mold 456. During this process, the wall of the cover plate 452 is heated to a temperature above the melting point of the molding material so that the material can flow more rapidly throughout the master mold 456. Molding machine 450 remains closed until the curing reaction of the molding material is completed. The injection molding process is followed by a cooling cycle, and the molding of the molding layer 458 begins to solidify and harden. Once the molding layer 458 has sufficient hardness, the 'ejector pins push the printed circuit board panel 300 (t4) (as shown in FIG. 14) from the molding machine, as described in FIG. The mold layer 458 forms a uniform planar square on the printed circuit board panel 3 (t4), ie, the smooth upper surface 459. Figure 15 is a simplified cross-sectional side view of a singulation process for dividing the printed circuit board panel 300 (t4) into a separate universal serial busbar assembly in accordance with block 260 of Figure 3. The printed circuit board panel 3 (t4) is loaded to a cutting machine (not shown) which is preset with a singulation routine including a predetermined cutting position.
