[0002] As terminal products become increasingly miniaturized, users have more stringent requirements on electronic components such as TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), hoping that the unit power density of TVS components can be higher.

[0003] At present, TVS mainly adopts DO-214AB (SMD, Surface Mounted Devices) packaging. Among them, the power of SMD single-core products is mostly 3.0kW or less, and the power of dual-core products is basically 5kW or less, which cannot meet high power requirements. At the same time, because the product is limited by the package size, and according to the package size, the chip size in the package is also limited. For example, the chip used in DO-214AB products is square, and due to the influence of the package size, the upper limit size of the chip is about 160mil. When the chip size is further expanded, due to the influence of the package stress, the chip is prone to microcracks or cracks, and the product yield and reliability capabilities will be significantly reduced, which cannot meet market demand.

[0025] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 A high-power surface-mount transient voltage protector comprises a package body, a chip body and a first electrode; the first electrode comprises a platform portion and a lead portion; the lead portion is dovetail-shaped, comprising a convergent end and an open end; the convergent end of the lead portion is connected to one end of the platform portion; the chip body is arranged on the platform portion; the package body covers the chip body and the platform portion, and the open end of the lead portion passes through the package body as a first external pin.

[0027] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the utility model are: by improving the size of the chip body from a square to a rectangle under the existing DO-214AB product packaging size, the effective area of ​​the chip is maximized while meeting the limitations of the packaging size, thereby improving the product power performance and thus achieving a more effective transient voltage protection effect; at the same time, the electrode structure of the product is optimized, and a dovetail-shaped structure is used as the lead part, which improves the stability between the lead part and the platform part and reduces the packaging stress, thereby solving the problem of product yield loss and poor reliability caused by packaging stress.

[0028] Furthermore, a through hole is provided at the convergent end of the lead portion.

[0029] From the above description, it can be seen that by setting a through hole at the convergent end of the lead part, the package body fills the through hole position when the package body covers the chip body and the first electrode, thereby increasing the electrode fixation and locking the package body, and can improve the product's ability to prevent the intrusion of moisture or humidity.

[0030] Furthermore, a boss is arranged at the center of the platform portion; and the chip body is arranged on the boss portion.

[0031] From the above description, it can be seen that by setting a boss in the center of the platform part, when the chip body is set on the boss by solder, the excess solder around the chip body can be released, avoiding the product from being punctured or burned early due to the excess solder around in subsequent applications.

[0032] Furthermore, a gap is provided between the chip body and the boss.

[0033] In one embodiment, a surface of the boss close to one side of the chip body is provided with bumps; the bumps are symmetrically arranged about the platform portion; the chip body is arranged on the bumps, and gaps are formed between the bumps.

[0034] In another embodiment, a tin-fixing groove is provided on a surface of the boss close to the chip body; and a gap is formed between the chip body and the tin-fixing groove.

[0035] From the above description, it can be seen that by setting structures such as bumps or tin-fixing grooves on the bosses, a gap is formed between the chip body and the bosses, and the gap formed can fix and maintain the thickness of the solder, thereby avoiding the problem of random failure of electrical performance of the product due to structural stress during the subsequent reflow soldering of the PCB board.

[0036] Furthermore, grooves are provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the lead portion.

[0037] From the above description, it can be seen that by providing grooves on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the lead part, the grooves can increase the effect of fixing the electrodes and locking the package body, thereby improving the product's ability to prevent the intrusion of moisture and humidity.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes a second electrode and a top electrode; the top electrode is connected to the side of the chip body away from the first electrode; one end of the second electrode is connected to the top electrode; the other end of the second electrode passes through the package body as a second external pin.

[0039] It can be seen from the above description that by providing the second electrode and the top electrode, the positive and negative pins of the product can be led out.

[0040] Furthermore, the second electrode is dovetail-shaped, and grooves are provided on the upper surface and the lower surface.

[0041] It can be seen from the above description that the second electrode also adopts a dovetail-like shape, and grooves are provided on its upper surface and lower surface, thereby reducing the stress of the second electrode and improving its connection stability.

[0042] Furthermore, the chip body is rectangular.

[0043] From the above description, it can be seen that by changing the chip body from a traditional square design to a rectangular design, the effective area of ​​the chip is maximized while meeting the size limitations of the existing DO-214AB product package, thereby improving the product power performance.

[0044] The high-power surface mount transient voltage protector provided by the utility model can be applied to DO-214AB package products, which can meet the power requirements of the products and solve the problems of product yield loss and poor reliability caused by assembly stress.
