Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of TVS devices, in particular to a TVS device with an automatic circuit breaker protection function. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic products, products tend to be smaller and thinner, and the nanotechnology of IC chips tends to mature. The problem that follows is that the EMS immunity tolerance of IC chips is reduced, and it is necessary to add corresponding TVS and other protection devices for EMS immunity protection, thereby improving the reliability, safety and service life of electronic products in actual application environments.

[0003] The failure mode of existing TVS devices is short circuit. In some products with high reliability requirements (such as automotive electronics and medical industries), when the TVS product works and exceeds the TVS's own tolerance and short circuits, if the fuse is not disconnected in time in the circuit design of the entire product, the TVS short circuit will cause the product to burn abnormally, which poses a great threat to the user's personal safety. Therefore, a TVS device with automatic open circuit protection function is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a fuse so that when the surge current is too large, the fuse is first burned out, so that the circuit is in an open circuit state, thereby protecting the product grains.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned utility model purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A TVS device with automatic circuit-breaking protection function, including a product crystal grain;

[0007] An upper metal frame is provided on the upper end of the product grain;

[0008] A lower metal frame is provided at the lower end of the product grain;

[0009] The packaging layer packages the upper metal frame, the lower metal frame and the product die;

[0010] Wherein, the upper metal frame is provided with a fuse located in the packaging layer, and the thickness of the fuse is smaller than the thickness of the upper metal frame.

[0011] To implement the above technical solution, the upper metal frame and the lower metal frame are both made of metal copper. Metal copper has good conductivity and can effectively ensure the flow of current. The thickness of the fuse is thinner than the thickness of the metal frame. When a surge occurs, when the current is too large, the thinner fuse is easier to burn out, so that the fuse burns out first, immediately disconnecting the entire circuit, thereby improving the protection effect of the product.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the fuse connects the upper metal frame without interruption.

[0013] The above technical solution is implemented to achieve uninterrupted connection, so as to ensure that the current can pass normally through the fuse during normal use and maintain normal operation.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the fuse is located within the downward projection range of the packaging layer.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the fuse is a component made of lead-antimony alloy material.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the fuse is a component made of copper wire material.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the encapsulation layer is a component made of epoxy resin black glue.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. By setting a fuse on the upper metal frame, the upper metal frame and the lower metal frame are both made of metal copper. Metal copper has good conductivity and can effectively ensure the flow of current. The thickness of the fuse is thinner than the thickness of the metal frame. When a surge occurs, when the current is too large, the thinner fuse is easier to burn out, so that the fuse burns out first, immediately disconnecting the entire circuit, thereby improving the protection effect of the product and improving the safety of the overall TVS device.

[0020] 2. The fuse is made of lead-antimony alloy material or copper wire material with strong conductivity. When the surge current exceeds the current carrying capacity of the TVS device, the fuse can be blown more quickly and efficiently at the notch, so that the TVS device quickly enters the open circuit state and instantly disconnects the entire circuit.

[0027] Example:

[0028] See also Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a TVS device with automatic open circuit protection function.

[0032] The upper metal frame 2 is provided with a fuse 21 located in the packaging layer 4 , and the thickness of the fuse 21 is smaller than the thickness of the upper metal frame 2 .

[0033] The fuse 21 connects the upper metal frame 2 without interruption to ensure that the current can pass normally through the fuse 21 during normal use to maintain normal operation.

[0035] The encapsulation layer 4 is a component made of epoxy resin black glue. To prevent the product grain 1 from being exposed to the outside when the overall device is used for a long time, the upper metal frame 2 and the lower metal frame 3 extend out of the encapsulation layer 4 on the side away from each other, ensuring the connection effect between the upper metal frame 2 and the lower metal frame 3 and the circuit. The fuse 21 is located within the downward projection range of the encapsulation layer 4, which can also protect the fuse 21 and prevent the weak fuse 21 from being damaged by external forces, thereby ensuring the service life of the overall TVS device.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present application, the fuse 21 is a component made of copper wire material. Copper itself has a good electrical conductivity, which ensures that the whole structure can be powered.
