ABSTRACT:
A unique pulse forming network assembly designed for use with a laser flashlamp. The inventive assembly includes a planar printed circuit board (14) to which a plurality of electrical energy storage elements (L1, C1) are mounted. The energy storage elements (L1, C1) are mounted on one side of the primed circuit board (14) so that the electrical contacts thereof extend therethrough. The contacts are wave soldered to complete the assembly. In a specific embodiment, the planar mounting of the energy storage elements (L1, C1) is enabled by the substitution of a conventional relay (K1) with a field effect transistor (Q1). The FET selectively connects the energy storage elements (L1, C1) to an output terminal of the network to activate the flashlamp. In a more specific embodiment, at least one of the energy storage elements is a capacitor (C1) which is connected to the housing (16) by a flange (18). The network is assembled by mounting a plurality of electrical components on one side of the printed circuit board (14) so that electrical terminals extend through the board. The terminals are then flow soldered to effect the electrical connection thereof.
