Abstract

Abstract A method of wiring electronic parts by a printed circuit board is provided. According to the method, electronic parts having pins arranged at intervals unmatched to a predetermined grid resolution are placed on the printed circuit board and the desired pins of the electronic parts are electrically connected by the printed circuit board. The characteristic of the method resides in that wiring pins are each provided at the same relative channel position within a unit grid portion located in the vicinity of each of the pins of the electronic parts so that the pins of the electronic parts are electrically connected to one another through the wiring pins.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 217 words
A method of wiring electronic parts on a printed circuit board, the electronic parts having pins, the pins to be electrically connected to one another to thereby form a net, the printed circuit board having wiring channels, the wiring channels having a predetermined grid resolution, the pins being arranged at intervals unmatched to the predetermined grid resolution, the printed circuit board having electronic part mounting lands, corresponding to the pins of the electronic parts, through which electronic part mounting lands desired pins of the electronic parts are electrically connected to the wiring channels, said method comprising the steps of providing wiring pins on the printed circuit board at wiring channel positions that are the same, relative to unit grid portions as determined by the predetermined grid resolution of the wiring channels, the wiring pins being provided at an interval that is a multiple, by an integer constant, of the predetermined grid resolution, each of the unit grid portions being located in the vicinity of respective electronic part mounting land respectively to be connected with respective pins, of the electronic part, that form the net; and electrically connecting said pins of the electronic parts forming the net to one another by a wiring pattern, including the wiring channels, through said electronic part mounting land and the wiring pins.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 217 words
A method of wiring electronic parts on a printed circuit board, the electronic parts having pins, the pins to be electrically connected to one another to thereby form a net, the printed circuit board having wiring channels, the wiring channels having a predetermined grid resolution, the pins being arranged at intervals unmatched to the predetermined grid resolution, the printed circuit board having electronic part mounting lands, corresponding to the pins of the electronic parts, through which electronic part mounting lands desired pins of the electronic parts are electrically connected to the wiring channels, said method comprising the steps of providing wiring pins on the printed circuit board at wiring channel positions that are the same, relative to unit grid portions as determined by the predetermined grid resolution of the wiring channels, the wiring pins being provided at an interval that is a multiple, by an integer constant, of the predetermined grid resolution, each of the unit grid portions being located in the vicinity of respective electronic part mounting land respectively to be connected with respective pins, of the electronic part, that form the net; and electrically connecting said pins of the electronic parts forming the net to one another by a wiring pattern, including the wiring channels, through said electronic part mounting land and the wiring pins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 118 words
