A semiconductor module (300a) includes a case including a receiving space which is formed by a frame portion (304A3) and a pair of wall portions (304A1, 304A2) disposed to face each other with the frame portion (304A3) therebetween. The wall portion (304A1) includes a heat dissipation portions (307A, 307B) and a support wall (3041) which supports the heat dissipation portions (307A, 307B) at the frame portion (304A3), and the wall portion (304A2) includes a heat dissipation portion (307C) and a support wall (3043) which supports the heat dissipation portion (307C) at the frame portion (304A3). The heat dissipation portions (307A, 307B) provided at the wall portion (304A1) are separately provided by being disposed to face a plurality of semiconductor device blocks respectively. A plurality of separate heat dissipation portions (307A, 307B) is surrounded by the support wall (3041), the support wall (3041) is deformed to recessed from the frame portion (304A3) through the separate heat dissipation portions (307A, 307B) inside the case such that a plurality of insulating sheets (333) is closely joined to a plurality of lead frames (318, 319) and the plurality of heat dissipation portions (307A, 307B) respectively.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thermal gap pad for transferring heat from a heat-supplying component such as an electronic device, and more specifically to a thermal gap pad with reduced compressive loading. In one embodiment, a thermal assembly includes a heat-supplying component, a cooling structure, a gap pad having a first surface, and a lubricant provided along the first surface of the gap pad. The lubricant has a viscosity of about 500 cP or less. The gap pad is compressed between the heat-supplying component and the cooling structure, such that the first surface of the gap pad is in thermal contact with the cooling structure.
Abstract:
A heat radiation structure of an electric apparatus provided herein is capable of readily releasing heat of electronic components to the outside and suppressing heat conduction to a rotational position sensor. A metal electromagnetic wave shielding member is fixed to a casing body of a casing. The electromagnetic wave shielding member includes a first portion that is connected to an opposed wall portion of the casing body to face a circuit substrate and a cylindrical second portion that is extending from a peripheral end of the first portion and along a peripheral wall portion of the casing body without being in contact with a housing. A heat conductive member having electrical insulating and heat conductivity properties as well as flexibility is disposed between the circuit substrate and the electromagnetic wave shielding member to closely contact both of the plurality of electronic components and the first portion of the electromagnetic wave shielding member.

Abstract:
A cooling arrangement (30a, 30b) for a power semiconductor module (10) comprises a thermally emitting surface (22) in thermal contact with at least one power semiconductor (16) of the power semiconductor module (10); a cooling body (24) in thermal contact with the thermally emitting surface (22) adapted for dissipating heat generated by the at least one power semiconductor (16); and a thermally conducting body (26a, 26b), which is arranged between the thermally emitting surface (22) and the cooling body (24), such that the heat emitted from the thermally emitting surface (22) is conducted via the thermally conducting body (26a, 26b) to the cooling body (24). The thermally conducting body (26a, 26b) comprises at least one foil (32, 32a, 32b) and a plastically deformable material (34) adapted for conduction heat, which is prevented to leak from the cooling arrangement (30a, 30b) by the at least one foil (32, 32a, 32b).
