Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electrical components, in particular to a vertical SMD component packaged in a plastic shell. Background Art
[0002] With the adoption and continuous development of microelectronic circuits and surface mount technology (SMT), light, thin and small have become important indicators for measuring electronic products. To miniaturize electronic equipment, the first thing to consider is the miniaturization of electronic components.
[0003] At present, there is a type of surface mount (SMD) component, such as a small chip-type surface mount (SMD) high-voltage, safety ceramic capacitor disclosed in ZL201510070008.X. In order to provide a larger welding site and reduce the occupied space in the vertical direction, this type of capacitor uses the upper and lower steel strip pins as external electrodes for welding, and then reversely leads the external electrodes, folds them outward in a curved direction, and then extends outward along the middle of the packaging shell. In the actual production of such products, during the process of thermosetting compression molding of the resin material, local cavitation may occur in the curved folding part, resulting in uneven stress distribution of the outer electrode due to uneven packaging plastic material, which may easily cause the outer electrode to bend and twist when subjected to compression force. When this happens in the folding area of the outer electrode, it is more likely to cause failure and even safety hazards. For example, when the outer electrode is deformed and contacts the ceramic medium, the outer electrode will contact the inner electrode and the ceramic medium at the same time, causing component failure and reducing the qualified rate, which can be effectively eliminated by the detection device; if the outer electrode is too close to the ceramic medium, it is difficult to effectively eliminate it during detection by the detection device and is therefore certified as a "qualified" product. However, when such components undergo transient changes in the load current of the equipment, they are prone to sparking and breakdown, posing a greater safety hazard.
[0004] In order to effectively reduce the occurrence of the external electrode touching the ceramic medium, the current technical solutions mostly extend the length of the external electrode in the horizontal direction and increase the gap of the resin material to reduce the external electrode from contacting the ceramic medium due to the random material stress during the thermal curing process of the plastic shell, which causes the external electrode to deform. However, this also causes the components to occupy too much space on the PCB board, which is not conducive to the effective miniaturization of the components. Summary of the invention
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a vertical SMD component encapsulated in a plastic shell, which can effectively reduce the volume occupied by the plastic used as the encapsulation by modifying the encapsulation plastic shell and the external electrode construction method, so that the production of SMD components can meet the consistency of industrial standards.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical means to implement:
[0007] A vertical SMD component packaged in a plastic shell includes a chip, an external electrode, and a packaging plastic shell. The two internal electrode contacts of the chip are located on any two opposite surfaces, and the outer periphery of the internal electrode contacts has a ceramic body; the external electrode is a conductive metal that can be bent and formed, the two external electrode contacts are in contact with the two internal electrode contacts, the two external electrode pins are led out to the same side and folded away from each other, and the inner sections of the two external electrode pins are bent once and fixed by the packaging plastic shell. The packaging plastic shell is a quadrangular prism or a hexagonal prism, the outer sections of the two external electrode pins are bent along the outer surface of the packaging plastic shell to form at least one wall-attached section, and the two wall-attached sections are arranged apart. Specifically, inside the packaging plastic shell, the external electrode contacts and the inner sections of the external electrode pins are bent once in an "L" shape, thereby avoiding the common external electrode folding design. During injection molding, due to the extrusion of the plastic packaging material, the external electrode pins are bent and twisted when subjected to compression force and touch the ceramic body, causing the product insulation to decrease or even short-circuit failure. Safety risks.
[0008] The external electrode can be made of a bendable conductive metal wire, a thin sheet, or a combination of the two. For example, by selecting a thin sheet-shaped external electrode contact and a linear external electrode pin conductive metal wire structure, as a further improvement, the external electrode is made of a bendable conductive metal sheet, which has the advantages of stable angle after bending and a higher contact area with the solder joint and the internal electrode contact, and is easy to process, and can effectively improve the pass rate in mass production.
[0009] Furthermore, the external electrode contacts of the inner sections of the two external electrode pins are folded away from each other so that the angle between the inner sections of the external electrode pins and the surface where the external electrode contacts are located is 90°±45°; further, the angle between the inner sections of the external electrode pins and the surface where the external electrode contacts are located is 90°±25°.
[0010] Furthermore, the ends of the outer sections of the two outer electrode pins are bent toward or away from each other on the same horizontal plane.
[0011] Furthermore, the ends of the outer sections of the two outer electrode pins are bent toward or away from each other along the bottom wall of the packaging plastic shell.
[0012] Furthermore, the external electrode pins are arranged at the corners of the external electrode contacts.
[0013] Furthermore, along the plane where the external electrode contacts are located, the angle between the two external electrode pins is greater than or equal to 0° and less than 180°; further, the angle between the two external electrode pins is 15° to 165°.
[0014] Furthermore, the area ratio of the outer electrode contacts to the inner electrode contacts is between 25% and 90%.
[0015] Furthermore, the chip is one of a thermistor chip, a varistor chip, and a ceramic capacitor chip.
[0016] The utility model has at least the following benefits:
[0017] This technology arranges the chip component vertically, mounts the two outer electrode pins by double-side welding and leads them to the same side and folds them away from each other, and forms SMD components through plastic shell packaging. It can effectively reduce the occupied area of the product in the horizontal direction, increase the effective volume occupied by the internal chip in the three-dimensional structure, and improve the electrical performance of SMD components with the same volume size;
[0018] The inner section of the external electrode pin is bent only once inside the packaging plastic shell, which can avoid the formation of cavitation due to the external electrode pin bending to the folded part in the prior art, and the polymer plastic in a hot melt state cannot fully penetrate into this part. It can also avoid the external electrode pin being bent or twisted during the molding of the packaging plastic shell and contacting with the porcelain body, thereby preventing chip failure, thereby meeting the desired effect of achieving a high pass rate and consistency with industrial standards in the production of SMD components.
