Patent ID: 7929314

Claim:
An improved printed circuit board pad and lead connection apparatus for providing increased solder volume and strength, comprising: a plurality of printed circuit board pads; a plurality of ground leads with associated connection pads; a plurality of signal leads with associated connection pads; a flat surface interface on the printed circuit board pads, ground lead pads, and signal lead pads acting as the connection surface between the printed circuit board pads and the ground and signal lead pads; the plurality of ground leads and the plurality of signal leads with associated pads and the plurality of printed circuit board pads oriented on a printed circuit board comprising inner rows and a singular end row; the singular end row of lead pads and printed circuit board pads, at least one of which is sized to 1.25 mm by 0.58 mm; the flat surface interface including: a plurality of raised 1 mil bumps on the printed circuit board pads corresponding to 1 mil indentations on the signal and ground lead pads; a plurality of raised 1 mil bumps on the signal and ground lead pads corresponding to 1 mil indentations on the printed circuit board pads; a plurality of raised 1 mil ovals on the printed circuit board pads oriented longitudinally to the length of the pad corresponding to indentations on the signal lead pads; and a plurality of raised 1 mil ovals on the printed circuit board pads oriented laterally to the length of the pad corresponding to indentations on the signal lead pads.
