    摘要: A control unit having a connection structure for connecting components of the control unit to a base plate which eliminates the need for separate fasteners. The control unit includes circuitry mounted to a PCB, and the PCB is pre-assembled to a base plate, to form a pre-assembly. During assembly, the PCB and the base plate are aligned when placed in a tooling device which clamps and holds the pre-assembly in place during the over molding process. The circuitry is over molded with an epoxy material, such that the epoxy material flows from a top side of the PCB to underneath the base plate, and the PCB is fixed to the base plate without the use of fasteners such as screws, or adhesive materials.

    摘要: A heat dissipation structure for a belt starter generator (BSG) which reduces the temperature of one or more ground screws used to connect a printed circuit board (PCB) to a cooling device of the BSG. The PCB is part of an inverter, and the inverter of the BSG is grounded using two ground screws that fix the PCB to the cooling device. A heat dissipation bridge is connected to the two ground screws, the PCB, and the cooling device. The heat dissipation bridge is connected to the grounds screws such that the heat dissipation bridge is located and in contact with an area of the cooling device where the coolant is flowing through a flow cavity. The heat dissipation bridge absorbs the colder temperature from the cooling device therefore lowers the temperatures of the ground screws to a safe level for the components of the PCB.

    摘要: A multi-port thermal module which includes a central housing, a plurality of flow cavities integrally formed as part of the central housing, at least one inner housing connected to a first side of the central housing, a first plurality of inner flow channels integrally formed as part of the first inner housing, each of the first plurality of inner flow channels in fluid communication with at least one of the flow cavities, and a first outer housing connected to the first inner housing. A portion of each of a first plurality of flow channels is integrally formed as part of the first inner housing, and another portion of each of the first plurality of flow channels is integrally formed as part of the first outer housing. A rotor located in the central housing is rotated to various orientations to direct fluid between the plurality of flow cavities.

    摘要: A power factor correction (PFC) circuit is provided. The PFC circuit includes an input for receiving alternating current and a converter for converting the received alternating current to a direct current. The PFC circuit also includes a direct current link that includes at least one capacitor. Additionally, the PFC circuit includes a voltage regulator control loop operating in burst mode under light load conditions by switching between an ON-state and an OFF-state periodically. The PFC circuit also includes a controller preloading the voltage regulator control loop with an initial value corresponding to the circuit current load under light conditions, when the voltage regulator control loop is transitioning to an ON-state of the burst mode. The initial value is based on the rate of change of the voltage at the direct current link and the capacitance of the capacitor of the direct current link.

    摘要: An interleaved switched mode power supply and control method therefor are disclosed. The interleaved switched mode power supply includes a first switched mode power supply; a second switched mode power supply; and a controller. The controller controls the first and second switched mode power supplies so that the controller and the first and second switched mode power supplies form an interleaved switched mode power supply with power factor correction. The controller modulates a switching frequency of each of the first and second switched mode power supplies such that the switching frequency varies based upon ripple current cancellation between the ripple current of the first switched mode power supply and the ripple current of the second switched mode power supply.

    摘要: An electrical device includes an electrically conductive member, an overmold material disposed about a portion of the electrically conductive member and a membrane disposed between the overmold material and at least a portion of the electrically conductive member. The membrane has a compressibility greater that a compressibility of the overmold material such that at least a portion of relative thermal expansion between the electrically conductive member relative to the overmold material is absorbed by the membrane.
