Description
Background of the Invention
The present invention relates to a printed wiring board, more particularly, a double-sided printed wiring board or a multilayer printed wiring board.
A printed wiring board having an electromagnetic wave shielding layer provided through an insulating layer is well known from Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 213,192/87. The printed wiring board 9 disclosed in this Japanese Patent Laid-open comprises, as shown in FIG. 3, an insulating sheet 1, printed wiring circuits 2 formed on both surface of the insulating sheet 1, an insulating layer 4 provided on a part of the printed wiring circuits 2, an electromagnetic wave shielding layer 5 provided on the insulating layer 4 and a part of the printed wiring circuit 2 and a solder resist layer 6 provided on the shielding layer 5.
The printed wiring board 9 further comprises a connecting through hole portion 7 including a plated through hole 8 provided in the insulating sheet 1, so that the connecting through hole portion 7 and component connecting land (not shown) are not covered with the electromagnetic wave shielding layer 5.
In such a conventional printed wiring board 9 having the electromagnetic wave shielding layer 5, the shielding layer 5 does not cover the connecting through hole portion 7, so that the electromagnetic wave of passive noise or active noise affects on the printed wiring board through the connecting through hole portion 7.
Moreover, provision of the connecting through hole portion 7 including component connecting land (not shown) leads to a division or discontinuity of the electromagnetic wave shielding layer 5, so that an effective aria of the shielding layer becomes decreased and thus sufficient shielding effect can not be obtained.
Summary of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to reject the above disadvantages of the conventional printed wiring board.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a printed wiring board having sufficient electromagnetic wave shielding effect.
According to the present invention, there is provided a printed wiring board comprising an insulating sheet having a connecting through hole portion including a possible plated through hole, a printed wiring circuit provided on one or both surface of the insulating sheet, an insulating layer provided on a part of the printed wiring circuit, an electromagnetic wave shielding layer provided on the insulating layer and a part of the printed wiring circuit, a solder resist layer provided on the electromagnetic wave shielding layer and a sealing member of heat resistant material or weather-resistant material which is filled or patched in the connecting through hole portion.
The sealing member is a thermosetting synthetic resin or a photosetting synthetic resin. The sealing member is a conductive synthetic resin including carbon, silver, copper or the like, thereby connecting printed wiring circuit provided on both surface of the insulating sheet.
According to the printed wiring board of the present invention, in the double-sided printed wiring board or multilayer printed wiring board, the sealing member of heat-resistant material or weather-resistant material is filled in the connecting through hole portion, and the electromagnetic wave shielding layer is provided on the connecting through hole and the printed wiring circuits with the interposition of the insulating layer (without a grounded wiring circuit), so that the affect of electromagnetic wave of passive noise or active noise on the printed wiring board can be prevented even at the connecting through hole portion.
Moreover, the electromagnetic wave shielding layer is not divided at the connecting through hole portion, thereby obtaining a large effective area of the shielding layer, so that the printed wiring board with very sufficient electromagnetic wave shielding effect can be obtained.
Brief Description of the Drawings
FIG. 1 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of a printed wiring board according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of a printed wiring board according to the present invention, and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing conventional printed wiring board.
Detailed Explanation of the Preferred Embodiment
Now to the drawings, there is shown one embodiment of a printed wiring board according to the present invention.
In FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, corresponding components are given the same reference numerals.
FIG. 1 is an enlarged cross sectional view partially showing one embodiment of a printed wiring board according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is an insulating sheet having at its both sides printed wiring circuits 2 of given pattern which are connected to each other by a plated through hole 8.
Reference numeral 3a is a sealing member filled in a connecting through hole portion 7. The sealing member 3a consists of a heat-resistant material or a weather-resistant material, such as a thermosetting synthetic resin of epoxide (epoxy) resin or the like or a photosetting synthetic resin of acrylic epoxy resin or the like. The sealing member 3a is formed by filling a conductive paste of the above described synthetic resin in respective connecting through hole portions 7 by a screen printing means, and then by hardening the conductive paste.
An insulating layer 4 is provided on a part of the printed wiring circuits 2 and the sealing member 3a by the screen printing means, and an electromagnetic wave shielding layer 5 is provided on the insulating layer 4 and a part of the printed wiring circuit 2, and finally a solder resist layer 6 is provided on the electromagnetic wave shielding layer 5. The solder resist layer 6 serves also as a protect layer for the shielding layer 5.
FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of a printed wiring board according to the present invention.
In this embodiment, the printed wiring board 9 comprises a sealing member 3b consisting of a conductive synthetic resin material which includes carbon, silver, copper or the like, so that the printed wiring circuits 2 provided on both sides of the insulating sheet 1 may be connected by the conductive sealing member 3b and thus the connecting through hole portion 7 need not be subjected to a plating process. That is, the plated through hole 8 may be omitted.
The other construction of the printed wiring board 9 is the same as that of the printed wiring board 9 shown in FIG. 1, so that its detailed explanation is omitted.
In the above construction, the provision of the insulating layer 4, the electromagnetic wave shielding layer 5 and the solder resist layer 6 is performed by well known manufacturing steps, so that its concrete explanation thereof may be omitted.
It is further understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing description is a preferred embodiment of the disclosed device and that various changes and modification may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
