Abstract:
Die Leiterplatte für elektrische Schaltungen ist mit einer Trägerplatte (12) versehen, die eine Ober- und eine Unterseite (14,16) aufweist, wobei sich in mindestens einer dieser Seiten (14,16) der Trägerplatte (12) eine von einem Rand begrenzte Ausnehmung (22) befindet. Ferner ist die Leiterplatte mit einem ein elektrisch leitendes Material aufweisenden Wärmeleitelement (24) versehen, das in die mindestens eine Ausnehmung (22) eingepasst und im wesentlichen mit der betreffenden Seite (14,16) der Trägerplatte (12) fluchtend angeordnet ist. Auf mindestens der mit der mindestens einen Ausnehmung (22) versehenen Seite (14,16) der Trägerplatte (12) verlaufen Leiterbahnen (32) aus elektrisch leitendem Material. Das Wärmeleitelement (24) ist von dem elektrisch leitenden Material der Leiterbahnen (32) überdeckt und diese Überdeckung (34) erstreckt sich zumindest bereichsweise bis über den Rand der Ausnehmung (22).
Abstract:
A low cost method for attaching a heat slug (40) to a printed circuit board (30) using surface-mount technology. In one embodiment a metal coating (36) is deposited about the periphery of an opening of a printed circuit board. Solder paste is then applied over the metal coating. The heat slug is then installed into the opening of the printed circuit board using a standard pick-and-place surface-mount machine. When installed, the ledge of the heat slug rests atop the previously deposited solder. The connection between the printed circuit board and heat slug is made by running the unit through a reflow furnace where the solder paste is wetted onto the metal coating of the PCB and onto the heat slug.
Abstract:
A package for power converters in which a multilayers circuit board holds the components. The winding of the magnetic elements are incorporated in the multilayers circuit board. The top and some portions of the bottom layers are also support for electronic components. Some of the components are placed on the top layer, which may not be utilized for magnetic winding, reducing the footprint of the magnetic core (26a). The power dissipating devices placed on pads which have a multitude of copper coated via connecting the top to bottom layers. Through these via the heat is transferred from the power devices to the other side of the PCB. In some of the embodiments of this invention the heat can be further transferred to a metal plate connected to the multilayers circuit board via a thermally conductive insulator. The base plate has cutouts or cavities to accomodate the magnetic cores. A thermally conductive material is placed between the magnetic core (26a) and the metal plate on the bottom of the cavity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and means for making a temperature-compensated bedding for chips on printed boards, at which a temperature-compensated mean is totally or partly recessed in a carrier in the printed board. The chip is placed over the temperature-compensated mean. The temperature-compensated mean includes a piece of metal recessed in the carrier under the chip. A layer of copper is fixed against the upper side of the carrier and the upper side of the metal piece. The thickness of the copper layer and the thickness of the metal piece are dimensioned so that the resulting coefficient of linear expansion at the upper side of the copper layer is equally big as or a bit bigger than the coefficient of linear expansion of the chip. The temperature-compensated mean can as an alternative to the above include a module recessed in the carrier under the chip. A thin layer of dielectric is fixed against the carrier, so that the coefficient of linear expansion of the dielectric layer do not appreciably affect the resulting coefficient of linear expansion of the temperature-compensated mean.
Abstract:
A heat conductive substrate (50) is mounted within a through-opening (60) of a printed circuit board (52). An integrated circuit (42) then is mounted to one side of the heat conductive substrate, while a heat sink (90) is fixed in thermal contact to the other side of the substrate. There is no direct thermal contact between the IC and the PC board. The heat conductive substrate is mounted to the PC board by applying a controlled pressure to normal surfaces of multiple portions (71) of the substrate. Such pressure reducing the thickness and expands the area of the pressed portions locking the substrate to the PC board. An air gap (75) occurs between the substrate and the PC board everywhere except for the pressed regions of the substrate. Such pressed regions occur along the periphery (67) of the substrate.

An integrated circuit (42) then is mounted to one side (64) of the heat conductive substrate, while a heat sink (90) is fixed in thermal contact to the other side (66) of the substrate. There is no direct thermal contact between the IC and the PC board. The substrate is mounted to an undersurface (70) of the PC board and concentrically spaced from the PC board within the opening (60). An air gap (80) occurs between the substrate and the PC board within the opening to substantially reduce heat conductivity into the PC board.
