Abstract
Abstract In order to be able to decrease the axial height, while simultaneously simplifying the manufacture, and also increasing the operational safety of printed circuit boards with electrical structural elements, such as Hall transducers affixed and electrically contacted to it further: (a) the printed circuit board contains, at least on one side, a supporting board (2) with recesses (21-23) in the area of each Hall transducer (4; 5; 6) and its connection legs (41-43; 51-53; 61-63) and on the other side a conductive foil (3) fastened to the surface of the supporting board (2), which covers the recesses (21-23) at least in the area of the free ends of the connection legs (41-43; 51-53; 61-63) and lands (44-46; 54-56; 64-66) for the connection legs of the Hall transducers; and (b) each Hall transducer and its connection legs is placed in a recess and the connection legs extend within the recess and include angle-bent ends connected to the lands.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
In a printed circuit board mounted on the stator of a radial flow external rotor motor including Hall transducers held in recesses formed on one surface of the printed circuit board at close frontal axial distances to the rotor magnets of the external rotor motor and contacting conductor paths, each of said Hall transducers having corresponding connection legs, an improvement, which comprises: (a) said printed circuit board including at least one supporting board having a recess in the region of each of said Hall transducers and the corresponding connection legs; (b) a conductive foil fastened to the surface of the supporting board; said conductive foil being arranged to cover each recess; (c) a plurality of lands for the electrical connection of said connection legs to said conductive foil; and (d) each of said Hall transducers and the corresponding connection legs being arranged in one of said recesses; said corresponding connection legs extending within said one of said recesses to reduce the axial height of the printed circuit board and including angle-bent ends connected to said lands.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
