Abstract

A method of soldering terminals of a micro-speaker on a circuit board comprises the following steps. Firstly, providing a circuit board having a pair of through holes passing therethrough, and two soldering sections defined surrounding the pair of through holes. Secondly, the soldering sections are plated with soldering tin. Thirdly, providing a pair of columned terminals, the terminal includes an upper portion, a low portion and a body connecting between the upper portion and the low portion. Fourthly, the low portion of the terminal is inserted into the corresponding through hole and the body is resisted on the soldering section. Fifthly, the soldering tin is heated to solder the body on the soldering tin. Finally, the upper portion of the terminal is soldered onto the corresponding end of the voice coil. As a result, soldering defective can be reduced.

Claims (28)

1. A micro-speaker comprising:

a frame defining a pair of holes passing through a top and bottom surfaces thereof;

a case supported on the frame and cooperatively with the frame defining a chamber therebetween;

a diaphragm received in the chamber and attached to the frame;

a yoke received in the chamber;

a magnet received in the chamber and attached on the top of the yoke;

a pole plate received in the chamber and attached to the top of the magnet;

a voice coil attached to the bottom of the diaphragm and surrounding the magnet and the pole plate;

a circuit board mounted on the bottom of the frame, the circuit board defining a pair of soldering sections formed on the bottom thereof, and a pair of through openings passing through the soldering sections;

soldering tin soldered on the soldering sections; and

wherein the circuit board is electrically connected with the corresponding ends of the voice coil via a pair of columned terminals to apply electric current to the voice coil, the terminal comprises an upper portion, a lower portion, a body connecting between the upper and lower portions, and a throng portion connected between the body and the low portion, the outer diameter of the body being greater than the outer diameter of the throng portion, and the outer diameter of the low portion being greater than the outer diameter of the throng portion, the low portion being soldered with the ends of the voice coil via heating soldering tin.

2. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is substantially U-shaped configuration and includes a body portion, and an arc portion extending outwardly from an outer periphery of the body portion, the body portion is rectangular, and the pair of soldering sections is defined on the body portion.

3. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the soldering tin is 20 um-30 um.

4. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is a approximately oblong bowl-shaped, and includes a base plate, an upper side plate extending upwardly and perpendicularly from an outer periphery of the base plate, a rectangular flange extending outwardly from an outer side of the side plate, and a low side plate extending downwardly and perpendicularly from a bottom portion of the base plate.

5. The speaker as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the base and side plates cooperatively define a receiving space therebetween, the base plate is elliptical for supporting the yoke thereon.

6. The speaker as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the upper side plate defines a pair of protrusions extending toward the center of the receiving space and formed adjacent to the flange, the pair of through holes is formed at an end thereof adjacent to the flange.

7. The speaker as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the case is oblong configuration and covers the diaphragm, the case includes a first top wall, a sidewall extending downwardly and perpendicularly from an outer periphery of the first top wall, and a first connecting portion extending outwardly form an edge of the first top wall, the first top wall is annular and planar, and defines a sound outlet on a central area thereof.

8. The speaker as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the magnet and the pole plate are elliptically cylindrical configuration.

9. The speaker as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the diaphragm is elliptical, and has a thin cross-section, with the thickness of the diaphragm being substantially constant throughout the cross-section.

10. The Speaker as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the diaphragm includes a central area in a center thereof, a joint area at an outer periphery thereof, and a connecting area between the central area and the joint area, the central area, the joint area and the connecting area are coaxial.

11. A method of assembly a circuit board of a micro-speaker, the micro-speaker comprising a voice coil with two opposite ends thereof, the method comprising the following steps:

providing a circuit board having an upper surface and a bottom surface opposite to the upper surface, a pair of through openings passing through the upper and bottom surfaces, and two soldering sections defined surrounding the pair of through openings;

plating soldering tin on the soldering sections and solidifying the soldering tin;

providing a pair of columned terminals, the terminal including an upper portion, a low portion, a body connecting between the upper and low portions, and a throng portion connected between the body and the low portion;

inserting the low portion of the terminal into the through opening and the body of the terminal resisting on the top of the soldering section;

heating the solid soldering tin to liquid at a high temperature so as to solder the body of the terminal and the soldering tin on the soldering section;

soldering the low portion of the terminal for spreading the outer diameter of the low portion and soldering to the corresponding end of the voice coil.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the thickness of the soldering tin is 20 um-30 um.
