Abstract
Abstract A method for punching an insulating film is composed of using plural divided punches having a clearance between each two of the divided punches. The clearance absorbs thermal expansion of the divided punches caused by receiving a heat from a heater. A punched insulating film is stuck to a lead frame by being pressed between the divided punches and the heater.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A method for sticking an insulating film to a lead frame comprising the steps of: providing a punch for punching a thermally adhesive insulating film, said punch having a clearance within it for absorbing thermal expansion thereof; punching said thermally adhesive insulating film to provide a punched film by said punch; heating a lead frame placed on a heater by said heater; and pressing said punched film to said lead frame on said heater by said punch, thereby sticking said punched film to said lead frame wherein thermal expansion of said punch occurring as a result of carrying out the step of heating said lead frame is absorbed by said clearance of said punch.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
114 words
A method for sticking an insulating film to a lead frame comprising the steps of: providing a punch for punching a thermally adhesive insulating film, said punch having a clearance within it for absorbing thermal expansion thereof; punching said thermally adhesive insulating film to provide a punched film by said punch; heating a lead frame placed on a heater by said heater; and pressing said punched film to said lead frame on said heater by said punch, thereby sticking said punched film to said lead frame wherein thermal expansion of said punch occurring as a result of carrying out the step of heating said lead frame is absorbed by said clearance of said punch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method for sticking an insulating film to a lead frame according to claim 1, wherein: said pressing step is carried out in a state where said heater is mounted on a heater fixing plate on an air cylinder.
