Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of LEDs, and in particular relates to a thermal and electrical separation LED module and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are two ways to connect high-power LED modules: wire bonding, which connects the LED wire bonding pad to the PCB pad. This method requires high-precision bonding equipment and high-reliability wire arcs, which greatly limits the mass production and use of LED modules. Another method is soldering, which connects the bottom pad of the LED to the PCB pad with solder paste to achieve conduction. However, heat and electricity are both conducted through the solder paste layer. In this module where heat and electricity are not separated, the solder paste layer is very likely to crack or even break during long-term use.

[0003] Among them, high-power ceramic LEDs generate a lot of heat, and their heat dissipation restricts the lumen maintenance rate of LEDs in hot states. High-power ceramic LEDs use separate heat dissipation and are only electrically connected to PCBs through external connections. For such thermal and electrical separation modules, the electrical connection between the PCB and the LED is usually made by wire bonding. However, the wire bonding of high-power LEDs requires high reliability of bonding equipment and wire arcs, which is not easy to manufacture. In addition, existing high-power LED modules usually use PCBs as heat dissipation and circuit conduction carriers, and LED lamp beads as heat sources are welded on the PCBs; and PCBs are generally made of FR-4 and other boards with poor heat dissipation performance. It is difficult for the heat generated by the LED to be conducted away through the PCB by heat transfer, and the heat dissipation effect is poor, so that heat is concentrated at the LED, causing the LED to heat up and light decay or even die.

[0004] Therefore, a new technology is needed to solve the problems in the prior art that LED modules are inconvenient to manufacture and have poor heat dissipation effects. Summary of the invention

After using the insulating glue to build a dam, the insulating layer 5 is formed around the external solder pad 35, and part of the insulating layer 5 is located in the gap between the substrate 34 and the PCB board 2.

[0067] S3. Place the PCB board 2 in the groove 12 of the heat sink 1 by sucking it with a nozzle or mechanically grabbing it, and then press the PCB board 2 downward by a pressure head or riveting it so that the bottom surface of the PCB board 2 is closely attached to the bottom of the groove 12, and the PCB board 2 is fastened to the first boss 13 and the second boss 14 of the heat sink 1. At the same time, the lower surface of the connecting part 21 is closely attached to the upper surface of the external solder pad 35 of the LED device 3. The connecting part 21 is in the shape of a right-angle step, and the side surface of the connecting part 21 close to the second end is perpendicular to the lower surface of the connecting part 21. The connecting part 21 can be formed by a gong groove process, and the vertical depth of the connecting part 21 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the LED substrate 34 and the depth of the groove 12, that is, the vertical distance between the lower surface of the connecting part 21 and the lower surface of the PCB is equal to the vertical spacing between the upper surface of the LED substrate 34 and the bottom of the groove 12. The horizontal surface length of the connecting portion 21 is greater than the length of the LED external solder pad 35, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the first end 16 and the second end 17, the length of the lower surface of the connecting portion 21 is greater than the length of the external solder pad 35, and at the same time, the right side boundary of the connecting portion 21 does not contact the LED light blocking layer 33, and the distance between the right side surface of the connecting portion 21 and the left side surface of the LED light blocking layer 33 is at least 0.5 mm.
