Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inductance, in particular to a common mode inductance product. Background Art
[0002] Common-mode inductors, also called common-mode chokes, are often used in computer switching power supplies to filter common-mode electromagnetic interference signals. In board design, common-mode inductors also act as EMI filters to suppress the outward radiation of electromagnetic waves generated by high-speed signal lines.
[0003] The common-mode inductor body is installed on the circuit board. To ensure product reliability, it can only be fixed with silicone rubber. Silicone rubber has weak bonding strength, so the common-mode inductor is usually fixed with a bracket or base plate, leaving the common-mode inductor exposed in the circuit board. In a humid environment, the voltage resistance and insulation performance of the common-mode inductor will be greatly reduced, thereby affecting the service life of the common-mode inductor.

[0009] A common-mode inductor product proposed in an embodiment of the utility model, the common-mode inductor is directly placed in a mounting slot of an aluminum housing, and then the leads on the common-mode inductor are passed through a first lead hole and a second lead hole in sequence, and then thermally conductive silicone rubber is poured into the mounting slot so that the thermally conductive silicone rubber completely fills the gap between the common-mode inductor and the inner wall of the mounting slot, and then the mounting slot is sealed by an upper inner plate, and finally the upper inner plate is fixed and limited by an upper outer plate and the aluminum housing. This solution effectively protects the common-mode inductor, reduces the probability of damage caused by external moisture or erosion, and can better protect the common-mode inductor. At the same time, the heat generated by the common-mode inductor during operation can be effectively transferred to the outside through the thermally conductive silicone rubber and the aluminum housing, which can effectively extend the service life of the common-mode inductor.
[0010] Optionally, the upper inner plate is sealed and fixed with a metal terminal in the first lead hole, one end of the metal terminal protrudes into the installation slot and is fixed to the lead of the common mode inductor, and the other end of the metal terminal protrudes to the second lead hole and is provided with a connecting screw connected to the outside.

[0019] By setting the fixing pin and the upper outer panel separately, the upper outer panel is more convenient to produce. When installing the upper outer panel, you only need to align the fixing pin with the through hole and insert it so that the limiting circular plate abuts against one end surface of the upper outer panel. Then, the fixing pin is inserted into the fixing groove. At this time, the clamping strip is located at the side end of the fixing pin away from the aluminum shell and aligned with the clamping slot. Then, a flat-blade screwdriver or a similar tool is inserted into the flat-blade slot and rotated to allow the clamping strip to slide directly into the clamping slot, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the upper outer panel, making the entire installation process more convenient.
