Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an LC filter capacitor. Background Technology

[0002] An LC filter is a device that can selectively pass through or suppress signals within a certain frequency range. It can effectively filter out frequencies at a specific frequency or frequencies outside that range, thereby selecting the desired signal from cluttered signals. LC filters have always been core components of radio frequency communication systems, and with the rapid development of wireless communication technology and the increasing scarcity of frequency resources, their importance has become even more prominent.

[0003] In practical applications, designers typically design the LC filter circuit first, and then solder the required capacitors and inductors onto the circuit board. This method has drawbacks: the soldering quality is not stable enough and may have problems, resulting in low circuit reliability. In order to save space, more effort is needed to design the positions of capacitors, inductors and other components, and often the optimal results cannot be obtained, resulting in the LC filter circuit still occupying too much space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes an LC filter capacitor with a modular design that saves space, ensures reliable soldering, is easy for users to use, and makes overall testing more convenient.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An LC filter capacitor includes a base, a first surface-mount magnetic ring inductor, a second surface-mount magnetic ring inductor, a first molded capacitor, a second molded capacitor, and parallel capacitor chips. The base includes an insulating shell, a power input terminal, a power output terminal, a ground terminal, and a first pad disposed within the insulating shell. The first surface-mount magnetic ring inductor is soldered between the power input terminal and the first pad. The first molded capacitor is soldered between the first pad and the ground terminal. The second surface-mount magnetic ring inductor is soldered between the first pad and the power output terminal. The second molded capacitor is soldered between the power output terminal and the ground terminal. The first and second molded capacitors have the same structure. The first molded capacitor includes a frame and several capacitor chips. The frame has a first chip pad and a second chip pad for soldering the capacitor chips to be connected in parallel. Both the first and second chip pads extend upward to form two functional port pads. The parallel capacitor chips are connected between the two functional port pads to be connected in parallel with the first molded capacitor. This invention arranges the surface-mount magnetized inductors and molded capacitors in the most reasonable positions within the base, achieving modularity of the LC filter capacitor and effectively saving space. Customers only need to reserve the space required for the base on the circuit board; there is no need to solder the inductors and capacitors themselves. The connection between this invention and other circuits on the circuit board is completed through the terminals. This makes it more convenient to use and avoids the defects of reduced circuit reliability caused by soldering problems. Furthermore, as a complete LC filter capacitor, it is easier to test as a whole. Moreover, the functional port pads of each molded capacitor allow for the soldering of appropriate parallel capacitor chips according to actual conditions, thereby easily adjusting the capacitance value of the LC filter capacitor to achieve a more ideal filtering effect.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a second pad disposed within an insulating housing, a third and fourth surface-mount magnetic ring inductor corresponding to the first and second surface-mount magnetic ring inductors respectively, and a third and fourth molded capacitor corresponding to the first and second molded capacitors respectively. The power input terminals include a positive power input terminal and a negative power input terminal, and the power output terminals include a positive power output terminal and a negative power output terminal. The first surface-mount magnetic ring inductor is soldered between the positive power input terminal and the first pad, the second surface-mount magnetic ring inductor is soldered between the first pad and the positive power output terminal, the third surface-mount magnetic ring inductor is soldered between the negative power input terminal and the second pad, the fourth surface-mount magnetic ring inductor is soldered between the second pad and the negative power output terminal, the third molded capacitor is soldered between the second pad and the ground terminal, and the fourth molded capacitor is soldered between the negative power output terminal and the ground terminal. The third and fourth molded capacitors have the same structure as the first molded capacitor, which can further improve the filtering effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the insulating shell has a groove, which has a main groove for arranging the first to fourth patch magnetic ring inductors and the first to fourth molded capacitors, and extension grooves respectively arranged at the four corners of the main groove for arranging positive power input terminals, negative power input terminals, positive power output terminals and negative power output terminals. The insulating shell also forms a separation portion extending into the main groove to separate the first patch magnetic ring inductor and the fourth patch magnetic ring inductor. The design is reasonable and ensures that each component of the LC filter capacitor is arranged in the most reasonable position inside the insulating shell, saving space to the maximum extent.

[0009] Furthermore, the base also includes two mounting portions disposed at both ends of the insulating shell, and mounting holes are provided on the mounting portions to facilitate fixing the base to the circuit board.

[0010] Furthermore, the base is made of plastic material.

[0011] Furthermore, the power input terminal, power output terminal, and ground terminal all extend outward through the insulating housing base plate, facilitating wiring between the present invention and other circuits on the circuit board.

[0012] Furthermore, a horizontally extending ground pad is provided in the middle of the insulating housing base plate, and the ground terminal is provided on the ground pad. Input pads and output pads are respectively provided at the ends of the insulating housing base plate, and the power input terminal and power output terminal are respectively provided on the input pad and output pad, which makes it more convenient to solder each surface mount magnetic ring inductor and each molded capacitor.

[0013] Furthermore, the height of the mounting part is lower than the height of the insulating shell, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0014] Furthermore, the capacitor chip is a low-frequency capacitor chip, and the parallel capacitor chip is a high-frequency capacitor chip, which effectively improves the filtering effect. Attached Figure Description
