Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a mounting structure for electric elements in circuit blocks of an electric circuit, particularly suitable for an ultrahigh-frequency circuit, allowing such elements to be automatically mounted as well as soldered, by such a way that holding parts with configurations and dimensions compatible with terminal parts of the elements are provided at portions of metal pieces as wiring conductors respectively, which are embedded in a frame made of an insulator at a proper distance, and the elements are mounted and secured so that the terminals thereof are positioned on the holding parts of the metal pieces.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
In an apparatus for processing high-frequency signals by a plurality of electric components grouped into separate circuit blocks each housed respectively in a shielded compartment, including a base plate for receiving each of said circuit blocks, and a housing member secured to said base plate and divided into a plurality of said compartments by upstanding shield plates, the improvement wherein said circuit blocks are each formed by a frame molded from an insulating material and having embedded therein conductive portions for connecting the electric components of said circuit block electrically together, said conductive elements having means exposed from said frame for receiving terminal portions of the electric components to hold them in position prior to soldering of said terminal portions to said exposed portions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
In an apparatus for processing high-frequency signals by a plurality of electric components grouped into separate circuit blocks each housed respectively in a shielded compartment, including a base plate for receiving each of said circuit blocks, and a housing member secured to said base plate and divided into a plurality of said compartments by upstanding shield plates, the improvement wherein said circuit blocks are each formed by a frame molded from an insulating material and having embedded therein conductive portions for connecting the electric components of said circuit block electrically together, said conductive elements having means exposed from said frame for receiving terminal portions of the electric components to hold them in position prior to soldering of said terminal portions to said exposed portions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
In an apparatus according to claim 1, said means being formed by semicircular recesses being formed in said exposed portions and adapted to receive respective terminal portions of said electric components.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
In an apparatus according to claim 2, said recesses each being larger than the respective terminal portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
136 words
In an apparatus for processing high frequency signals by a plurality of electric components grouped into separate circuit blocks each housed respectively in a shielded compartment, including a base plate for receiving each of said circuit blocks, and a housing member secured to said base plate and divided into a plurality of said compartments by upstanding shield plates, the improvement wherein at least some of said circuit blocks include a coil as the electric component and are formed by a respective frame molded from an insulating material and have embedded therein conductive portions for connecting the electric components for said circuit block electrically together, said conductive elements having means exposed from said frame for receiving terminal portions of said coils to hold them in position prior to soldering of said terminal portions to said exposed portions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
136 words
In an apparatus for processing high frequency signals by a plurality of electric components grouped into separate circuit blocks each housed respectively in a shielded compartment, including a base plate for receiving each of said circuit blocks, and a housing member secured to said base plate and divided into a plurality of said compartments by upstanding shield plates, the improvement wherein at least some of said circuit blocks include a coil as the electric component and are formed by a respective frame molded from an insulating material and have embedded therein conductive portions for connecting the electric components for said circuit block electrically together, said conductive elements having means exposed from said frame for receiving terminal portions of said coils to hold them in position prior to soldering of said terminal portions to said exposed portions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
