[0095] S22: See Figure 5 , the insulating substrate 20 is placed in a hot press (not shown), and then the first circuit board 30 and the plurality of electrical connection components 15 are spaced apart and arranged on one side of the insulating substrate 20 .
[0096] S23: See Figure 6 , set the parameters of the hot press, and then press the first circuit board 30 and the plurality of electrical connection components 15 together. Under high temperature and high pressure, the insulating substrate 20, the first circuit board 30, and the plurality of electrical connection components 15 are bonded together. After cooling and solidification, the intermediate body 21 is obtained.
[0097] In this example, see Figures 11 to 14 The manufacturing method of the first circuit board 30 includes the following steps:
[0098] S24: See Figure 11 A first copper-clad laminate 33 is provided. The first copper-clad laminate 33 includes a first transparent insulating layer 331, a first adhesive layer 332, and a first copper foil layer 333. The first adhesive layer 332 is connected between the first transparent insulating layer 331 and the first copper foil layer 333. The first transparent insulating layer 331 includes one of polyester film (PET), polyimide (PI), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The first adhesive layer 332 is made of a material including epoxy resin, acrylic resin, polyimide (PI), and silicone.
[0099] S25: See Figure 12, the first copper foil layer 333 is etched to form a first circuit layer 334 , wherein the first circuit layer 334 includes a plurality of first connection pads 335 arranged at intervals.
[0100] S23: See Figure 13 A first covering film 336 is provided on the first circuit layer 334. The first covering film 336 includes a second adhesive layer 336a and a first protective layer 336b provided on the second adhesive layer 336a.

The first connection pads 335 are exposed in the first openings 336c to obtain the first circuit substrate 31.
[0101] S26: See Figure 14 The second solder 32 is set in the first window 336 c, and the second solder 32 is connected to the first connection pad 335 to obtain the first circuit board 30.
[0102] S3: See Figure 7 and Figure 8 A second circuit board 40 is provided between each of the electrical connectors 10 and the first circuit board 30. One end of the second circuit board 40 covers the slot 11 and is electrically connected to the thermistor 13. The other end of the second circuit board 40 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 30, thereby obtaining the battery cell connection assembly 100. The second circuit board 40 includes a second circuit substrate 41 and a plurality of third solders 42 provided on the second circuit substrate 41. The first solder 14 corresponds to connecting part of the third solders 42, and the second solder 32 corresponds to connecting another part of the third solders 42. In this way, the electrical connection between the thermistor 13 and the second circuit board 40 and the electrical connection between the second circuit board 40 and the first circuit board 30 are achieved.
[0103] In this embodiment, step S3 specifically includes: welding the first solder 14 and part of the third solder 42 by photon sintering technology, and welding the second solder 32 and another part of the third solder 42 by photon sintering technology. The photon sintering technology is also called intense pulsed light (IPL) sintering technology. Its principle is to use a focused high-energy light source to irradiate the target (for example, the first solder 14 and part of the third solder 42, or the second solder 32 and another part of the third solder 42) in a very short time, so that the target obtains high energy, thereby achieving the purpose of sintering and connection. The first solder 14 and part of the third solder 42 form a first electrical connector 43 after sintering and cooling, and the second solder 32 and another part of the third solder 42 form a second electrical connector 44 after sintering and cooling.
[0104] In this example, see Figures 15 to 18 The manufacturing method of the second circuit board 40 includes the following steps:
[0105] S31: See Figure 15 A second copper clad laminate 45 is provided, and the second copper clad laminate 45 includes a second transparent insulating layer 451, a third adhesive layer 452, and a second copper foil layer 453. The third adhesive layer 452 is connected between the second transparent insulating layer 451 and the second copper foil layer 453.
[0106] S32: See Figure 16 , etching the second copper foil layer 453 to form a second circuit layer 454 , wherein the second circuit layer 454 includes a plurality of second connection pads 455 arranged at intervals;
[0107] S33: See Figure 17 A second cover film 456 is disposed on the second circuit layer 454. The second cover film 456 includes a fourth adhesive layer 456a and a second protective layer 456b disposed on the fourth adhesive layer 456a. The fourth adhesive layer 456a connects the second circuit layer 454 and the second protective layer 456b. A plurality of second openings 456c are provided through the second cover film 456. The second connection pads 455 are exposed through the second openings 456c, thereby forming the second circuit substrate 41.
[0108] S34: See Figure 17 and Figure 18 The third solder 42 is set in the second window 456c, and the third solder 42 is connected to the second connection pad 455 to obtain the second circuit board 40.
[0109] Among them, the second transparent insulating layer 451 and the third adhesive layer 452 are both light-transmissive. During the photon sintering process in step S3, the high-energy light source penetrates the local second transparent insulating layer 451 and the third adhesive layer 452 in a very short time and acts on one side of the second connecting pad 445, so that the third solder 42 connected to the other side of the second connecting pad 445 is sintered with the first solder 14 to form the first electrical connector 43, and the third solder 42 connected to the other side of the second connecting pad 445 is sintered with the second solder 32 to form the second electrical connector 44.
[0110] In this embodiment, the manufacturing method of the battery cell connection assembly 100 further includes the steps of:
[0111] S4: See Figure 9 A first insulating glue 50 is filled in the groove 11, and the first insulating glue 50 covers the thermistor 13 and the first electrical connector 43. A second insulating glue 51 is filled between the first circuit substrate 31 and the second circuit substrate 41, and the second insulating glue 51 covers the second electrical connector 44.
[0112] S5: See Figure 10 , each of the electrical connectors 10 and the second circuit board 40 is connected by ultrasonic welding technology. The ultrasonic welding technology (UW) is a technology that uses high-frequency mechanical vibration energy to combine the electrical connector 10 and the second circuit board 40 to be welded by compression, melting, and vibration, forming a weld seam caused by molecular interaction. Its principle is to utilize the characteristics of ultrasound - the cavitation effect. When ultrasound propagates in a medium, negative pressure is generated around it, causing the medium to boil locally, thereby generating a large number of tiny bubbles, which rapidly expand and burst. The strong impact and destructive effect generated is sufficient to cause the contact surface of the welded electrical connector 10 and the second circuit board 40 to rub violently and heat up. At the same time, due to the effect of the ultrasonic field, the molecular bonds in the surface layer are continuously connected, thereby achieving the purpose of welding. In this way, the connection between the electrical connector 10 and the second circuit board 40 is further stabilized, making the electrical connection between the second circuit board 40 and the thermal element 13 more stable.

In this way, the thermal element 13 is installed in the electrical connector 10, which not only helps to reduce the impact of the hot pressing process on the thermal element 13, but also helps to improve the stability and reliability of the battery cell connection assembly 100 during packaging, transportation and battery packaging, thereby improving the durability and stability of the battery cell connection assembly 100.
[0115] (2) By using photon sintering technology, a high-energy pulse light beam is allowed to penetrate the local transparent insulating layer (the second transparent insulating layer 451) and the adhesive layer (the third adhesive layer 452) and act on the second connection pad 445, thereby reducing unnecessary heating caused by the use of the whole-plate reflow soldering technology (SMT), thereby facilitating the protection of the thermal sensitive element 13 and improving the production yield of the battery cell connection assembly 100.
