[0012] Figure 2 This is a wiring connection structure diagram of the power module of the utility model;

[0013] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged view of part A. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] The utility model discloses a wire binding connection structure of a power module, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a printed circuit board 1, an electrode 2 and at least two bonding wires 3, the bonding wires 3 can be aluminum wires, copper wires, and gold wires, the electrode 2 includes a laterally extending connecting portion 20, the top of the connecting portion 20 is formed with at least two step portions 21, the step heights of the at least two step portions 21 are different, the bonding wires 3 correspond to the step portions 21 one by one, one end of the at least two bonding wires 3 is respectively connected to the printed circuit board 1, and the other end of the at least two bonding wires 3 is respectively connected to the at least two step portions 21.

[0016] In the above structure, the printed circuit board 1 and the electrode 2 are connected by bonding wires 3, and one end of the two bonding wires 3 is respectively connected to the printed circuit board 1, and for the other ends of the two bonding wires 3, at least two step portions 21 with different step heights are arranged on the laterally extending connection portion 20 of the electrode 2, and the other ends of the at least two bonding wires 3 are respectively connected to the at least two step portions 21. Based on the above structure, the utility model effectively avoids problems such as bonding wire interference in the ultrasonic bonding process by performing a step design on the wire binding area, and at the same time eliminates the distance between the wire binding points, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the wire binding connection area.

[0017] For the specific structure of the power module, see Figure 2 This embodiment includes a base plate 4 and a shell 5 fixed on the base plate 4 , the printed circuit board 1 is fixed on the base plate 4 , and the electrode 2 is fixed on the shell 5 .

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the electrode 2 extends in a "Z" shape. The connecting portion 20 is located at the end of the "Z"-shaped extending electrode and extends laterally.

[0019] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the step height of the step portion 21 close to the printed circuit board 1 is smaller than the step height of the step portion 21 away from the printed circuit board 1. In the above structure, the step heights of the two step portions 21 gradually increase relative to the direction away from the bonding wire 3, which can keep the two bonding wires 3 parallel and facilitate welding.

However, in this embodiment, by performing a step design on the wire binding area, the distance between the wire binding points is significantly eliminated. The width of the welding area only needs to meet the size requirement of 2X, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the welding area.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the technical scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
