Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transistor technology, and in particular to a power field-effect transistor based on silicon carbide. Background Technology

[0002] Silicon carbide power field-effect transistors (SCTs), as a new type of power semiconductor device, have excellent performance such as high switching speed, low on-resistance, and high temperature resistance. They are widely used in many fields such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, and industrial control. They can achieve efficient power conversion and control under high voltage and high current operating conditions, providing strong support for the high-performance operation of modern electronic equipment.

[0003] In the field of power electronics, silicon carbide power MOSFETs (SMTs) are commonly mounted using surface mount technology. This involves printing solder paste onto a circuit board, placing the transistor, and then reflow soldering it. However, the strength of this connection is highly dependent on factors such as solder paste quality fluctuations, inaccurate printing processes, improper reflow soldering, differences in thermal expansion coefficients, high-frequency vibrations, and environmental influences. Problems with any of these factors can lead to a weak connection between the SMT and the circuit board. Furthermore, because the leads of SMTs are typically higher than the solder joints on the circuit board, poor contact between the leads and the solder paste can easily occur during soldering, affecting the soldering quality. Simultaneously, the higher leads are more prone to stress concentration under external forces or temperature changes, making the connection more fragile. During transistor operation, loose connections can affect the stability of current transmission, reduce the performance and reliability of electronic devices, increase maintenance costs, and even shorten product lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a silicon carbide-based power MOSFET, which solves the problems of weak connection when silicon carbide power MOSFETs are installed using surface mount technology, and the inconvenience of replacing silicon carbide power MOSFETs when they are damaged.

[0005] Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A power field-effect transistor based on silicon carbide, comprising a silicon carbide transistor and a bonding plate. Multiple pins are stably connected to the silicon carbide transistor. Multiple mounting slots are formed on the bonding plate, corresponding to the pins, and the pins are stably mounted within the mounting slots. Multiple elastic sheets are provided, each positioned below a pin, and are stably mounted within the mounting slots, making electrical contact with the pins. Multiple copper plates are provided, each positioned directly below a pair of elastic sheets, making electrical contact with the elastic sheets. A conductive rod is stably connected to the side of the copper plates away from the elastic sheets. Multiple auxiliary blocks are provided, each stably connected below the bonding plate. Multiple solder plates are provided, stably connected to the auxiliary blocks, with the solder plates positioned on the side of the auxiliary blocks away from the bonding plate. The end of the conductive rod away from the copper plate penetrates the solder plate, and the end face of the conductive rod away from the copper plate is flush with the end face of the solder plate away from the auxiliary block. The depth and width of the mounting slots should correspond to the pins. The dimensions of the components must be matched, and the error range should be controlled within a very small range to ensure that the pins can be accurately inserted into the mounting slot. The thickness of the elastic sheet should be moderate, with sufficient elastic deformation capacity. The conductivity of the elastic sheet should meet the requirements of the circuit, and the resistance value should be as small as possible. The thickness of the copper plate should be reasonably selected according to the current and heat dissipation requirements to ensure that the performance is not affected by overheating during operation. The contact area between the copper plate and the elastic sheet should be as large as possible to reduce contact resistance. The diameter and length of the conductive rod should be reasonably selected according to the current and layout requirements to ensure that the current can be transmitted smoothly. The connection between the conductive rod and the copper plate can be achieved by welding, crimping, etc., and the connection strength should meet the requirements. The thickness of the tin plate should be reasonably selected according to the welding and heat dissipation requirements to ensure that the solder can be fully melted during the welding process to form a strong weld connection. The connection between the tin plate and the auxiliary block should be firm and reliable, and can be achieved by welding, screw fixing, etc. The end face of the conductive rod and the end face of the tin plate should be flat and smooth, without burrs or unevenness.

[0006] In a further embodiment, multiple pressure blocks are provided, each located in a plurality of mounting slots. The pressure blocks are slidably connected within the mounting slots and are used to press the pins. The material of the pressure blocks should have a certain degree of hardness and wear resistance to ensure that they will not deform or be damaged during long-term use. The sliding track of the pressure blocks should be smooth and flat without any jamming to ensure smooth operation.

[0007] In a further embodiment, a groove is formed in the mounting groove and is slidably connected to the pressure block. The groove is used to limit the sliding trajectory of the pressure block. The size and shape of the groove should match the pressure block, and the error range should be controlled within a very small range. The surface of the groove should be smoothed to reduce the friction between the pressure block and the groove.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a slot is formed inside the pressure block; a block is slidably connected inside the welding plate, and the block engages with the pressure block through the slot. The block is used for positioning the pressure block. The dimensions of the slot and the block should be precisely designed to ensure the secure engagement. The sliding mechanism of the block should be flexible and reliable, and can quickly engage or disengage with the slot when needed.

[0009] In a further embodiment, multiple springs are provided. One end of the spring is stably connected to the welding plate, and the other end is stably connected to the locking block. The spring is used for locking block reset. The material of the spring should have good elasticity and fatigue resistance to ensure that it will not lose its elasticity during long-term use. The installation position of the spring should be accurate to ensure that it can function properly.

[0010] In a further embodiment, at least two flexible plates are provided. The flexible plates are stably connected to the welding plate. A protrusion is provided at the end of the flexible plate away from the welding plate. The flexible plates are used for limiting the silicon carbide transistor. The material of the flexible plates should have a certain degree of elasticity and toughness to ensure that they will not break or be damaged during use. The shape and size of the protrusion should be designed according to the shape of the transistor to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the limiting.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the lower surface of the tin plate is at most flush with the lower surface of the silicon carbide transistor, wherein the height difference between the lower surface of the tin plate and the lower surface of the silicon carbide transistor should be controlled within a very small range to ensure the consistency of soldering quality and appearance.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. By stably connecting the tin plate and the auxiliary block, multiple conductive rods connect the copper plate and the tin plate. The pins are installed in the mounting slot of the soldering board and an elastic sheet is set below to make electrical contact with the copper plate. At the same time, a flexible clamping plate is set to limit the silicon carbide transistor. The pressure block squeezes the pins in the mounting slot and, through the cooperation of the clamping block and the clamping slot and the spring-assisted reset, the connection stability between the silicon carbide power field effect transistor and the circuit board is improved. This reduces the loosening of the connection caused by factors such as solder paste quality fluctuations, inaccurate printing process, improper reflow soldering process, differences in thermal expansion coefficient, high-frequency vibration and environmental influence.

[0013] 2. By stably connecting the flexible card plate and the welding plate, the silicon carbide transistor can be limited. The pressure block slides in the mounting groove and can be positioned by the card block and the slot, as well as the spring-assisted reset structure. This achieves the purpose of quick and convenient replacement when the silicon carbide power field effect transistor is damaged. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The silicon carbide transistor 1 has its pin 101 engaged with the mounting groove 201 on the soldering plate 2. The elastic sheet 7 below the pin 101 is in electrical contact with the copper plate 8. The copper plate 8 is connected to the tin plate 901 on the auxiliary block 9 through the conductive rod 801, which achieves a stable electrical connection between the silicon carbide transistor 1 and the circuit board.

[0027] The pressure block 4 slides within the mounting groove 201 and engages with the pin 101, thereby compressing the pin 101 to enhance the contact pressure between the pin 101 and the elastic sheet 7, thus improving the stability of the electrical connection.

[0028] The slide groove 2011 is formed in the mounting groove 201. The slide groove 2011 is slidably connected to the pressure block 4. The slide groove 2011 is used to limit the sliding trajectory of the pressure block 4.

[0029] By using the groove 2011 in conjunction with the pressure block 4, the sliding trajectory of the pressure block 4 is limited, ensuring that the pressure block 4 accurately presses the pin 101.

[0030] The slot 401 is formed inside the pressure block 4; the block 5 is slidably connected to the welding plate 2. The block 5 is engaged with the pressure block 4 through the slot 401 and is used for positioning the pressure block 4.

Limiting is implemented to prevent displacement during operation; during welding, the end face of the conductive rod 801 away from the copper plate 8 is flush with the end face of the tin plate 901 away from the auxiliary block 9, ensuring the flatness and firmness of the weld; at the same time, the lower surface of the tin plate 901 is flush with the lower surface of the silicon carbide transistor 1 at most, ensuring a large contact area between the tin plate 901 and the circuit board during the welding process, further improving the firmness of the weld. When the silicon carbide power field effect transistor is damaged and needs to be replaced, the fixing of the pin 101 is released by sliding the pressure block 4, and then the flexible card plate 3 is pried outward, and then the silicon carbide transistor 1 can be removed from the welding plate 2.
