Abstract:
A power terminal for electrical connection of an electric cable to a circuit board comprises a main body (8a) having a central longitudinal axis and means (12, 12a) for attaching a cable to the main body. An eccentric body (8b) integral with the main body (8a) and having a through hole (13) is arranged to receive a screw. A space (20) is provided at the bottom of the power terminal adjacent to the eccentric body. This configuration provides a means for securing the terminal in an easy and efficient way while also providing for mounting of a current measuring device, for example.
Abstract:
A circuit arrangement comprises a circuit board (10), a semi-conductor (12) provided on a first side of the circuit board, and a heat sink (15) provided on a second side of the circuit board opposite to the first side and in heat transferring contact with the power semi-conductor. A heat conductive element (13) is provided in a hole (10a) in the circuit board, wherein the heat conductive element is positioned in heat transferring contact with both the semi-conductor and the heat sink for transfer of heat generated by the semi-conductor to the heat sink. A circuit arrangement is provided, wherein the provision of a low thermal resistance path through the circuit board by means of heat conductive elements provides a compact circuit arrangement well suited for assembly by means of an automated surface mounting process.
