    摘要: A method of encapsulating a panel of electronic components such as power converters reduces wasted printed circuit board area. The panel, which may include a plurality of components, may be cut into one or more individual pieces after encapsulation with the mold forming part of the finished product, e.g. providing heat sink fins or a surface mount solderable surface. Interconnection features provided along boundaries of individual circuits are exposed during the singulation process providing electrical connections to the components without wasting valuable PCB surface area. The molds may include various internal features such as registration features accurately locating the circuit board within the mold cavity, interlocking contours for structural integrity of the singulated module, contours to match component shapes and sizes enhancing heat removal from internal components and reducing the required volume of encapsulant, clearance channels providing safety agency spacing and setbacks for the interconnects. Wide cuts may be made in the molds after encapsulation reducing thermal stresses and reducing the thickness of material to be cut during subsequent singulation. External mold features can include various fin configurations for heat sinks, flat surfaces for surface mounting or soldering, etc. Blank mold panels may be machined to provide some or all of the above features in an on-demand manufacturing system. Connection adapters may be provided to use the modules in vertical or horizontal mounting positions in connector, through-hole, surface-mount solder variations. The interconnects may be plated to provide a connectorized module that may be inserted into a mating connector.

    摘要: A power converter includes electrical contacts arranged on a first surface and a connection device. The converter has a top surface above the first surface and a bottom surface below the first surface. A border of the bottom surface is inset from a border of the second surface. The connection device includes a pair of conductive legs, each leg comprising a first end and a second end. The pair of legs lie opposite each other in a pair of evenly spaced planes that intersect the first surface. The first ends are adapted to connect to one or more of the contacts on the first surface and the second ends are adapted to connect to one or more conductive pads on a surface of a substrate. The connection device is adapted to enable the first ends of the two legs to connect to the contacts from below the first surface.

    摘要: A bobbin is adapted to support a winding on a permeable core and has a wall that provides a confined thermally conductive channel that causes conduction of heat along a predetermined path from the core to a location outside the winding. A value of magnetizing inductance in a transformer is set by adjusting the gap until the value of magnetizing inductance has been set and attaching a segment of the bobbin to a pair of core pieces to maintain the gap. A permeable strip provides a permeable path outside of the hollow interior space and does not couple the winding, and an electrically insulating coupler is interposed between the slug and the winding to electrically insulate the winding.

    摘要: Power conversion apparatus can include a circuit board with power conversion circuitry and a package. The package may be formed by encapsulating areas of the circuit board assembly either before or after the interface contacts are attached to the circuit board. A method for encapsulating two sides of a substrate can include providing a mold that fills a larger first cavity to create a sealing force on a smaller second cavity. The encapsulant flows through the first cavity into the second cavity. A thermal extender can include a surface for mounting a heat dissipating power converter and a surface for mating with an external circuit board. Interface conductors may mate with contacts on the heat dissipating power converter and with conductive regions on the external circuit board. A heat sink may be thermally coupled to remove heat generated by the power converter.

    摘要: Power conversion apparatus includes a circuit board with power conversion circuitry and a package having an upper portion and a lower portion that respectively enclose circuitry on a top surface and a bottom surface of the circuit board. The lower portion encloses a smaller region than that enclosed by the upper portion. The regions are arranged to define an overhang region on the bottom surface of the circuit board. Interface contacts are provided on the bottom surface in the overhang region for making electrical connections to the circuit board. A thermal extender includes a surface for mounting a heat dissipating power converter and a surface for mating with an external circuit board. Interface conductors mate with contacts on the power converter and with conductive regions on the external circuit board. A heat sink is thermally coupled to remove heat generated by the power converter.
