CARRIER FOR MOUNTING A PIEZOELECTRIC DEVICE ON A CIRCUIT BOARD AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING A PIEZOELECTRIC DEVICE ON A CIRCUIT BOARD |
摘要 |
A carrier for mounting a piezoelectric device, e.g., a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device, on a circuit board and a method of mounting a piezoelectric device on a circuit board using such a carrier are disclosed. The carrier includes a carrier bottom, a plurality of metal contacts, and a carrier lid attached to the carrier bottom. The carrier bottom has an opening extending partially through the carrier bottom from a top surface thereof and the opening is configured such that when a piezoelectric device to be mounted in the carrier is inserted into the carrier bottom, the piezoelectric device is at least partially recessed within the carrier bottom. The metal contacts include a cantilevered end configured for electrical connection to a piezoelectric device. The carrier lid is configured to retain a piezoelectric device within the carrier bottom and to apply substantially even pressure across a top surface of a piezoelectric device. The method includes mounting the carrier bottom to the circuit board prior to insertion of the piezoelectric device and connection of the carrier lid. |

1. A carrier for mounting a piezoelectric crystal device on a circuit board, the carrier comprising:
a carrier bottom including an opening extending partially through the carrier bottom from a top surface thereof, the opening being configured such that when a piezoelectric crystal device to be mounted in the carrier is inserted into the carrier bottom, the piezoelectric crystal device is at least partially recessed within the carrier bottom; a plurality of metal contacts, mounted on the carrier bottom, wherein each of the plurality of metal contacts is configured such that a first end of each contact is arranged outside of the carrier for electrical connection to a circuit board on which the carrier is to be mounted and a second end is arranged inside of the carrier for electrical connection to a piezoelectric crystal device; and a carrier lid attached to the carrier bottom, wherein the carrier lid is configured to retain a piezoelectric crystal device within the carrier bottom and to apply substantially even pressure across a top surface of a piezoelectric crystal device, wherein the plurality of metal contacts are arranged such that the cantilevered end of each of the plurality of metal contacts is in alignment with a corresponding one of a plurality of electrical contacts of a piezoelectric crystal device. |
