Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lead frames, in particular to a metal sheet packaging structure and a lead frame. Background Art

[0002] Compared with the conventional controllers that use conventional connectors to realize the information exchange between the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and the external circuit, some controller products, such as connector products designed with lead frames, have functions similar to conventional connectors, but their structures are more flexible and easy to realize electrical connection in a relatively limited space. Therefore, this type of electrical connector is widely used.

[0003] The lead frame in the electrical connector is the chip carrier of the integrated circuit. It is a key structural component that uses bonding materials (gold wire, aluminum wire, copper wire) to achieve electrical connection between the internal circuit lead end of the chip and the external lead to form an electrical circuit. It serves as a bridge to connect with external wires. Lead frames are required in most semiconductor integrated blocks and are an important basic material in the electronic information industry. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the copper sheet; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the first plastic packaging structure part of the first injection molding; Figure 3 The second plastic package structure diagram of the second injection molding is shown in FIG. The conventional lead frame usually consists of three parts, including: Figure 1 The metal sheet shown (for example, copper sheet 10), Figure 2 The first plastic package structure 20 shown in FIG. Figure 3 The second plastic package structure 30 is shown. The production process of the lead frame is as follows Figures 1 to 3 As described above, the copper sheet 10 is first produced by stamping. Then, the ejector system is pressed against the first pressure point structure 21, and the copper sheet 10 is once injection molded to form a copper sheet 10. Figure 2 Finally, the ejector pins in the ejector pin system are pressed against the second pressure point structure 22 to perform a second plastic sealing on the copper sheet 10 to form a first plastic sealing structure 20 as shown. Figure 3 The second plastic encapsulation structure 30 is shown. Thus, the copper sheet 10 can be fixed inside the first plastic encapsulation structure 20 and the second plastic encapsulation structure 30. The copper sheet 10 is subjected to two injection moldings because there are many thin and long copper sheets 10 in the product, and these copper sheets 10 cannot be effectively fixed during one injection molding process. Therefore, if only one injection molding is used, the position of the copper sheet 10 in the product cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, two injection moldings are required to fix the copper sheet 10 in sections to meet the size requirements of the product.

[0004] However, during the secondary injection molding process, since the bonding force between the first molded structure 20 and the second molded structure 30 is very weak, a crack such as the following is usually formed at the junction of the first molded structure 20 and the second molded structure 30 when the product is off the production line. Figure 4 Or Figure 5 The gap 40 shown in FIG. 1 may be produced during the injection molding warm-pressing process. Figure 4 Or Figure 5 The gap 40 is shown. Due to the existence of the gap 40, when the product is in use, due to the presence of humidity and chemical media in the medium, and the voltage difference between the two copper sheets, the copper ions in the copper sheets will precipitate in the environment of humidity and chemical media, and migrate along the gap in the negative direction of the electric field, eventually causing the electrical connection to form a short circuit.

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the following methods are usually used for improvement in the prior art. One way is to improve the injection molding process. For example, the Plasma process is usually used to process the product after the first injection molding to improve its adhesion with the secondary injection molding plastic. The second way is to add some fuse ribs to the product after the first injection molding to improve the bonding effect. The third way is to avoid short circuits in electrical connections by extending the gap path. However, none of the above methods can 100% prevent the occurrence of short circuits, and there are many uncontrollable factors in the design, and the requirements for process stability are also very high. Using materials with lower melting points or adding Plasma equipment will increase new costs and are not economical.

[0006] Therefore, the existing technical solutions still cannot solve the short circuit problem of electrical connection caused by the gap path between the copper sheets after the secondary injection molding.

[0007] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background technology section of the utility model is only intended to deepen the understanding of the general background technology of the utility model, and should not be regarded as an admission or suggestion in any form that the information constitutes prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

Furthermore, since the lead frame provided by the utility model includes the metal sheet packaging structure, it can avoid the situation of short circuit in electrical connection, therefore, the lead frame provided by the utility model can also avoid the situation of short circuit in electrical connection.

[0049] Ginseng Figure 10 to Figure 11 A specific embodiment of a metal sheet packaging structure disclosed. The metal sheet packaging structure includes: a plurality of metal sheets 100, each of which is provided with a plurality of first pressure points 110; a first packaging structure 200; a second packaging structure 300, wherein the first packaging structure 200 and the second packaging structure 300 are coated on the surface of the metal sheet 100; wherein, along the length direction of the metal sheet 100 (i.e., Fig.10 The first pressing points 110 located on two adjacent metal sheets 100 are staggered.

[0050] Ginseng Figure 6 As shown, for the packaging of the copper sheet 10 in the traditional lead frame, during the first injection molding process of the copper sheet 10, the ejector pins in the ejector pin system respectively press the first pressure point structures 21 on the two adjacent copper sheets 10, that is, the ejector pins respectively press half of the two adjacent copper sheets 10, so there is still a gap path between the two copper sheets 10 after the second injection molding, causing an electrical short circuit.

[0051] However, this embodiment staggers two adjacent first pressure points 110 on different metal sheets 100 so that the copper sheets 10 covered by the second packaging structure 300 can be independent of each other, thereby physically isolating the conduction between the two metal sheets 100 inside the first packaging structure 200 and the second packaging structure 300, thereby avoiding a short circuit in the metal sheet 100 in the lead frame.

[0052] The metal sheet 100 may be a copper metal sheet or a copper alloy sheet, for example, a copper-nickel alloy, a copper-chromium alloy, or other copper alloys. In this embodiment, the copper sheet 10 is used as an example for description. It should also be noted that the elongated copper sheet 10 in this embodiment is a plate-like structure.

[0053] Exemplarily, the first packaging structure 200 reserves a plurality of second pressure point structures 22 , and the second packaging structure 300 is coated on one side of the first packaging structure 200 except the second pressure point structures 22 to coat the metal sheet 100 inside the first packaging structure 200 and the second packaging structure 300 .

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 As shown, after the first injection molding is completed, a plurality of second pressure point structures 22 are reserved in the first packaging structure 200. During the secondary injection molding, the ejector pins in the ejector pin system are pressed at the position of the second pressure point structure 22 to perform secondary injection molding on the copper sheet 10 to form the second packaging structure 300. The second pressure point structure 22 is a columnar structure. There is a groove between the columnar structure and the first packaging structure 200. During the secondary injection molding, the molten resin is filled into the groove so that the surface of the second packaging structure 300 and the end of the columnar structure are in the same plane.

[0055] Exemplarily, the first packaging structure 200 forms a corresponding first pressure point area 210 at the position of the first pressure point 110, and the second packaging structure 300 is coated on the first pressure point area 210. The first pressure point area 210 is along the width direction of the metal sheet 100 (ie, Fig.10 The length of the direction of the arrow Y in the middle) (i.e., Fig.10 The width of m in the figure is greater than the width of the metal sheet 100 (ie, Fig.10 The width of n in ).

[0056] Specifically, refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the central axis q of the first pressure point structure 110 may or may not coincide with the central axis q of the first pressure point region 210. Fig.10The first pressure points 110 located on two adjacent metal sheets 100 are staggered. The area of ​​the first pressure point region 210 is larger than the area of ​​the exposed copper sheet 10 at the location of the first pressure point 110. Any two first pressure point regions 210 are prevented from overlapping, so that different first pressure point regions 210 are independent of each other. Thus, the gap between the two copper sheets 10 that are conductive can be physically isolated from appearing inside the first packaging structure 200 and the second packaging structure 300.

[0057] Among them, the first packaging structure 200 and the second packaging structure 300 can be the same plastic layer or different plastic layers. As long as they can encapsulate the copper sheet 10, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the first packaging structure 200 and the second packaging structure 300 are both resin film layers.

[0058] The first pressing point area 210 can be in any shape such as a circle or a square. Here, there is no specific requirement for the shape of the first pressing point area 210. In order to facilitate the secondary plastic sealing of the first pressing point area 210, preferably, the first pressing point structure 110 and the first pressing point area 210 are square.

[0059] Exemplarily, the thickness of the first encapsulation structure 200 in the first pressure point region 210 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second encapsulation structure 300 in the first pressure point region 210 .

[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 10 to Figure 11 As shown, the thickness of the first encapsulation structure 200 in the first pressure point area 210 can be greater than the thickness of the second encapsulation structure 300 filled in the first pressure point area 210, or can be equal to the thickness of the second encapsulation structure 300 filled in the first pressure point area 210. Of course, the thickness of the first encapsulation structure 200 in the first pressure point area 210 can also be less than the thickness of the second encapsulation structure 300 filled in the first pressure point area 210. Preferably, the thickness of the first encapsulation structure 200 in the first pressure point area 210 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second encapsulation structure 300 filled in the first pressure point area 210. After the packaging structure of the metal sheet in this embodiment is improved, in a one-time injection molding process, the pressure point of the mold skips the middle copper sheet 10, and along the length direction of the copper sheet 10, that is, Fig.10 In the middle Y direction, the stamped copper sheet 10 is pressed at intervals, and the middle copper sheet 10 is misaligned with the pressure points of the two adjacent copper sheets 10 in the X direction, and the thickness of the first packaging structure 200 of the first injection molding around the copper sheet 10 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second packaging structure 300 of the second injection molding, so as to physically isolate the conductive gap between the two copper sheets 10 inside the plastic package, thereby avoiding a short circuit in the electrical path.

[0061] It should be noted that, according to the length of the copper sheet 10, the copper sheet 10 can be subjected to multiple injection moldings in a segmented manner to form the first packaging structure 200. Accordingly, the copper sheet 10 subjected to multiple primary plastic moldings is subjected to multiple secondary plastic moldings to form the second packaging structure 300, so that the copper sheet 10 can be fixed.

[0062] This embodiment also discloses a lead frame, including the packaging structure of the metal sheet mentioned above.

[0063] The lead frame provided in this embodiment and the packaging structure of the metal sheet provided in this embodiment belong to the same utility model concept, therefore, the lead frame provided in this embodiment has at least all the advantages of the packaging structure of the metal sheet provided in this embodiment, which will not be repeated here. Furthermore, since the lead frame provided in this embodiment includes the packaging structure of the metal sheet, it can avoid the situation that the electrical connection has a short circuit, therefore, the lead frame provided in this embodiment can also avoid the situation that the electrical connection has a short circuit.

[0064] In summary, the above embodiments provide detailed descriptions of the packaging structure of the metal sheet and the different configurations of the lead frame. Of course, the above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and is not any limitation to the scope of the utility model.
