Screening Process for Manufacturing a Z-directed Component for a Printed Circuit Board

摘要

A method for manufacturing a z-directed component for insertion into a mounting hole in a printed circuit board according to one example embodiment includes adding a substrate material to a mold defining the shape of a layer of the z-directed component. A top surface of the substrate material in the mold is leveled. The substrate material in the mold is treated and the layer of the z-directed component is formed. A conductive material is applied to at least one surface of the formed layer. The z-directed component is formed that includes a stack of component layers that includes the formed layer.
