Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of patch zinc oxide varistors. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, most of the lighting devices use LED lamp beads, which have relatively poor resistance to surge impact in the circuit and need surge protection. Due to the conductivity of the heat dissipation aluminum substrate, plug-in components are not suitable. The surge protection varistors currently in use all use patch packaging, which facilitates mass production of LED lamp heads.

[0003] However, in the prior art, Chinese patents CN202211338129.4, CN201610472205.9, CN201510955379.6, and CN201010580937.2 disclose multilayer varistors and their manufacturing methods, which use a multilayer ceramic capacitor process, use a casting machine to cast, print internal electrodes, isostatic pressing, layering cutting, pre-gluing, atmosphere sintering, electrode connection, and nickel and tin plating processes. On the one hand, the production equipment investment is large, and the equipment requirements are high. On the other hand, due to the thickness limitation between layers, it is suitable for voltage protection of 5V-100V rated voltage. When a surge impact occurs, the uneven heat of the multilayer structure can easily cause cracking failure. For example, Chinese patent CN202010966184.2 discloses a traditional plug-in assembly, coating flattening treatment, and horizontal mounting scheme. Chinese patent CN201820356800.0 discloses a matrix varistor patch packaging scheme, and Chinese patent CN201711165632.3 discloses an embedded varistor flat packaging scheme. Both use traditional varistor chips, which are welded through leads or frames, with the surface electrode parallel to the PCB board, flat packaging, and SMD patching. However, the structure is relatively complex, the lead processing size consistency is poor, the production control is difficult, and the chip flat packaging occupies more PCB board area. For example, Chinese patent CN201822145675.1 discloses a series structure varistor patch scheme, which uses two varistors in series. However, the distance between the two varistors is small, which can easily cause air breakdown, limiting the application of the product.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to provide a patch zinc oxide varistor. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a chip zinc oxide varistor to solve the problems of large investment in production equipment, high equipment requirements, easy crack failure caused by heat imbalance, relatively complex structure, poor consistency of lead processing dimensions, difficult production control, flat chip packaging, superimposed leads and packaging layers, occupying a large area of ​​PCB board; small spacing between two pressure-sensitive electrodes, easy air breakdown, resulting in limited product application.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically provides the following technical solutions: a chip zinc oxide varistor, comprising a varistor ceramic, wherein a solder resist layer can be provided on all four sides of the varistor ceramic, and electrodes are provided on both sides of the varistor ceramic, wherein the electrodes are made by printing and sputtering, and the solder resist layer is fixed to both sides of the varistor ceramic by coating, and the coating method includes electroplating, brush plating, chemical plating, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, thermal spraying, surfacing, laser beam and electron beam surface cladding, and hot dip plating, and the solder resist layer is made of UV light-curing ink with different colorants, and the UV light-curing ink refers to an ink that uses ultraviolet light of different wavelengths and energies under ultraviolet irradiation to polymerize monomers in the ink binder into polymers until the ink forms a film and dries.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: the pressure-sensitive ceramic piece has a length of 2.5-5 mm, a width of 1.5-3.5 mm, and a height of 1-3 mm.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the electrode is fully coated on the edge of the pressure-sensitive ceramic sheet.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0010] 1. The rectangular pressure-sensitive ceramic piece is convenient for the nozzle of the placement machine to absorb and is not easy to roll;

[0011] 2. Electrodes without margins are provided at both ends of the length direction of the pressure-sensitive ceramic to facilitate contact between the electrodes and the solder paste to achieve reflow soldering;

[0012] 3. The setting of solder mask can effectively prevent solder paste from contaminating the lower side of the porcelain body, resulting in a drop in varistor voltage and side flashover during surge impact.

[0013] 4. Different colors of solder resist can effectively distinguish the varistor voltage specifications;

[0014] 5. No leads, no secondary processing leads, simple structure, and precise size control. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
