Printed circuit boards are widely used in computers, mobile phones, medical equipment, automobiles, aerospace and other fields. Printed circuit boards are composed of multiple layers of insulating materials and conductive layers, which are usually made of copper.

[0003] In the prior art, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes and chips are fixed on a printed circuit board by welding or surface mounting technology to achieve interconnection and conduction of the components.

The voltage instantly generated by the static electricity flowing into the components of the printed circuit board can reach tens of thousands of volts, which will directly damage the electronic components on the printed circuit board. Therefore, it is necessary to design an electrostatic protection structure to prevent the components on the printed circuit board from being damaged by static electricity. Utility Model Content

[0030] In order to better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a pointed discharge pad structure 10 of an embodiment includes a substrate 100; and a discharge pad assembly 200 disposed on the substrate 100, the discharge pad assembly 200 includes at least one group of discharge pads 210, each group of discharge pads 210 includes a plurality of first discharge pads 211 and a plurality of second discharge pads 212, the plurality of first discharge pads 211 and the plurality of second discharge pads 212 are arranged opposite to each other, the first discharge pads 211 are used to connect to the components 20 of the printed circuit board, and the second discharge pads 212 are used to connect to the ground terminal 50 of the printed circuit board; the first discharge pad 211 has a first sharp corner portion 211a, the second discharge pad 212 has a second sharp corner portion 212a, each first sharp corner portion 211a is arranged opposite to a second sharp corner portion 212a, each first sharp corner portion 211a and a second sharp corner portion 212a form a discharge gap 220, and the discharge gap 220 is used for electrostatic discharge. In this embodiment, the plurality of first discharge pads 211 and the plurality of second discharge pads 212 are arranged in a one-to-one alignment.

[0032] The above-mentioned pointed discharge pad structure is that the discharge pad assembly 10 includes at least one group of discharge pads 210, each group of discharge pads 210 includes a plurality of first discharge pads 211 and a plurality of second discharge pads 212, and the plurality of first discharge pads 211 are arranged opposite to the plurality of second discharge pads 212; the first discharge pad 211 has a first sharp corner 211a, and the second discharge pad 212 has a second sharp corner 212a, and each second sharp corner 212a is arranged opposite to a first sharp corner 211a, and each second sharp corner 212a and a first sharp corner 211a form a discharge gap 220, and the discharge gap 220 is used for electrostatic discharge, the first discharge pad 211 is used to connect to the component 20 of the printed circuit board, and the second discharge pad 212 is used to connect to the ground terminal 50 of the printed circuit board. When When static electricity flows in from the input terminal 40, the greater the curvature of the conductor surface, the stronger the electric field strength is, and therefore the charge brought by the static electricity will gather at the first sharp corner portion 211a of the first discharge pad 211 connected to the component 20. At this time, the first sharp corner portion 211a gathers a large amount of charge, causing the electric field strength of the first sharp corner portion 211a to increase sharply, so that the dielectric of the discharge gap 220 between the first sharp corner portion 211a and the second sharp corner portion 212a is broken down, thereby transferring the charge from the first sharp corner portion 211a to the second sharp corner portion 212a of the second discharge pad 212, thereby guiding the static electricity to the second discharge pad 212. The second discharge pad 212 is used to be connected to the ground terminal 50 of the printed circuit board, so that the static electricity is released from the ground terminal 50, thereby avoiding the damage of the static electricity to the component 20.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the shape of the first discharge pad 211 and the second discharge pad 212 is a triangle or a rhombus. In this embodiment, the triangle or the rhombus is a simple shape with a sharp corner, which is conducive to the formation of the first discharge pad 211 and the second discharge pad 212, and the sharp corner is conducive to the occurrence of the tip discharge phenomenon.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the shapes of the first discharge pad 211 and the second discharge pad 212 are specifically isosceles triangles, and the first sharp corner 211a and the second sharp corner 212a are the apex angles of the isosceles triangles. In this embodiment, the isosceles triangle is conducive to the formation of the first discharge pad 211 and the second discharge pad 212.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the angle range of the first sharp corner portion 211a and the second sharp corner portion 212a is 20° to 75°. In this embodiment, the angle range of the first sharp corner portion 211a and the second sharp corner portion 212a is 20° to 75°, so that the angle of the first sharp corner portion 211a and the second sharp corner portion 212a is an acute angle, which is more conducive to the occurrence of the tip discharge phenomenon.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the first sharp corner portion 211a and the second sharp corner portion 212a are conductive dielectric layers. In this embodiment, the first sharp corner portion 211a and the second sharp corner portion 212a are conductive dielectric layers, so that static electricity can be transferred from the input end to the ground end 50 through the conductive dielectric layer.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the conductive medium layer is a copper layer. In this embodiment, the conductive medium layer is a copper layer so that the first discharge pad 211 and the second discharge pad 212 have better conductivity.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the conductive medium layer is an aluminum layer. In this embodiment, the conductive medium layer is an aluminum layer so that the first discharge pad 211 and the second discharge pad 212 have better conductivity.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the distance of the discharge gap 220 is 75 μm to 150 μm. In this embodiment, the distance of the discharge gap 220 is 75 μm to 150 μm. Within this spacing range, it is beneficial for the charges accumulated in the first sharp corner 211a to be released to the second sharp corner 212a under the tip discharge effect.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the distance of the discharge gap 220 is 120 μm. In this embodiment, the distance of the discharge gap 220 is 120 μm, which is more conducive to the charge accumulated in the first sharp corner 211a to be released to the second sharp corner 212a under the tip discharge effect.

[0041] The present disclosure further provides a printed circuit board, comprising the tip discharge pad structure 10 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

The greater the curvature of the conductor surface, the stronger the electric field strength. Therefore, the charges brought by the static electricity will be gathered at the first sharp corner portion 211a of the first discharge pad 211 connected to the component 20. At this time, the first sharp corner portion 211a gathers a large amount of charges, resulting in a sharp increase in the electric field strength of the first sharp corner portion 211a, so that the dielectric of the discharge gap 220 between the first sharp corner portion 211a and the second sharp corner portion 212a is broken down, thereby transferring the charges from the first sharp corner portion 211a to the second sharp corner portion 212a of the second discharge pad 212, thereby guiding the static electricity to the second discharge pad 212. The second discharge pad 212 is used to be connected to the ground terminal 50 of the printed circuit board, so that the static electricity is released from the ground terminal 50, thereby avoiding the damage of the static electricity to the component 20.

[0044] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present disclosure, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
