[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application.
[0044] Embodiments
[0045] In a first aspect, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides a moisture-proof resistor, which comprises a substrate 1, a pair of back electrodes 2, a pair of front electrodes, a resistance layer 3, a protective layer and side electrodes 4.
[0046] The pair of back electrodes 2 are formed on the lower surface of the substrate 1 and separated from each other, and the pair of front electrodes are formed on the upper surface of the substrate 1 and separated from each other, which comprises a left electrode 5 arranged on the left side and a right electrode 6 arranged on the right side.
[0047] The resistance layer 3 is covered between the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6. The protective layer is covered on the resistance layer 3, and the protective layer extends to the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6 respectively. The side electrodes 4 are arranged on the opposite sides of the substrate 1 respectively, the left side electrode 4 is connected with the left electrode 5 and the corresponding back electrode 2, and the right side electrode 4 is connected with the right electrode 6 and the corresponding back electrode 2.
[0048] The protective layer comprises a first protective layer 7 and a second protective layer 8, the first protective layer 7 is composed of at least two layers of glass material, and the second protective layer 8 is composed of at least two layers of epoxy resin material.
[0049] The moisture-proof resistor described above has a multi-layer protection structure with the first protective layer 7 made of glass and the second protective layer 8 made of epoxy resin, effectively preventing moisture penetration and improving the stability and reliability of the resistor in a humid environment. The first protective layer 7 made of glass not only prevents moisture but also provides excellent mechanical protection, resisting external impact and pressure, so that the resistor remains intact and stable in harsh conditions. The second protective layer 8 made of epoxy resin has good electrical insulation, avoiding the risk of resistor failure due to leakage or short circuit, ensuring stable electrical performance. The double-layer protection structure enables the resistor to resist environmental factors for a long time, reducing performance degradation caused by changes in external environment, thereby greatly extending the service life of the product.
[0050] In addition, due to the high-temperature resistance of glass, the resistor can maintain its performance stability in high-temperature environments, making it suitable for a wider range of industrial applications. The coverage of multiple types of protective layers relative to the resistance layer 3 effectively prevents the resistance layer 3 from being disturbed by external factors, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the resistance value, thereby improving the performance consistency and reliability of the resistor.
[0051] In the present embodiment, the second protective layer 8 covers the first protective layer 7, and the thickness of the two layers of glass material of the first protective layer 7 is the same, and the thickness of the two layers of epoxy resin material of the second protective layer 8 is different. Preferably, the film thickness of the two layers of glass material protective layer is 15um, the film thickness of the first layer of epoxy resin material protective layer is less than 15um, and the film thickness of the second layer of epoxy resin material protective layer is greater than 15um.
[0052] In one aspect, the first protective layer 7 is composed of two layers of glass material with the same thickness, and the uniform thickness can ensure that the glass layer forms a consistent protective effect on the surface of the resistor, enhances the overall mechanical strength and high-temperature resistance, and provides a reliable moisture-proof barrier. On the other hand, the two layers of epoxy resin material of the second protective layer 8 have different thicknesses, which can provide a layered protection effect for the resistor. The thicker layer of epoxy resin material is mainly used to enhance the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the overall structure, while the thinner layer is used to provide additional moisture-proof performance and electrical insulation.
[0053] In this embodiment, the resistive layer 3 and the protective layer extend and cover a portion of the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6, with the coverage area on the left electrode 5 being larger than that on the right electrode 6. Because the resistive layer 3 covers a larger area on the left electrode 5, the contact area between the left electrode 5 and the resistive layer 3 is correspondingly wider, thus influencing the current distribution. This asymmetrical distribution is used to adjust the current path within the resistor, enabling it to achieve more ideal electrical performance in specific application scenarios (e.g., in harsher environments where the left side of the component is more humid). For example, the larger coverage area makes the protective layer of the left electrode 5 more complete, effectively reducing the risk of environmental damage to the left electrode 5, which is especially important for electrode portions requiring additional protection.
[0054] Furthermore, a third protective layer 9 is formed on the left electrode 5 and right electrode 6 of another part of the uncovered area, intersecting with the side electrode 4. The third protective layer 9 is made of resin silver. The intersection of the third protective layer 9 with the side electrode 4 ensures a smooth transition between the electrode surface and the external electrical connection, reducing contact problems caused by height differences, thereby improving the electrical connection reliability of the resistor. Resin silver has excellent conductivity and protective properties; its application in the third protective layer 9 not only provides additional physical protection for the electrodes, further resisting moisture erosion from the external environment, but also maintains the conductivity of the electrodes, effectively preventing resistance changes or failures caused by corrosion.
[0055] In this embodiment, the moisture-proof resistor further includes a nickel plating layer 10. The nickel plating layer 10 completely covers the back electrode 2, the side electrode 4, and the front electrode, and overlaps the end face of the second protective layer 8 on top of the third protective layer 9. Furthermore, the moisture-proof resistor also includes a tin plating layer 11. The tin plating layer 11 covers the nickel plating layer 10 and overlaps the end face of the second protective layer 8. It should be noted that the tin plating layer 11 and the nickel plating layer 10 are existing structures and will not be described in detail here.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the resistor layer 3 has multiple laser-cut grooves 12 that are recessed relative to the folded lines for laser trimming. The folded lines of the resistor are a specific structure distributed on the surface of the substrate 1, forming a V-shaped groove structure to facilitate cutting operations and achieve folded and striped effects. Furthermore, a protective layer covers the folded lines. In the prior art, the control of the cutting point is not strict, allowing moisture to penetrate through the junction of the side folded grooves and the protective layer. Recessing the laser-cut grooves 12 relative to the folded lines not only reduces structural damage after cutting, but also, especially with the protective layer covering the folded lines, further enhances the protection of the cutting area and ensures that the laser-cut grooves 12 are not exposed above the folded lines.
[0057] Specifically, one of the laser tangent grooves 12 is in a straight line, one of the laser tangent grooves 12 is in an L shape, and at least one of the laser tangent grooves 12 is covered by a first protective layer 7 made of glass material, and at least one of the laser tangent grooves 12 is covered by a second protective layer 8 made of epoxy resin material. Thus, by at least two different laser tangent grooves 12, the resistance value of the resistor can be more flexibly adjusted. The L-shaped tangent groove is suitable for a larger range of resistance adjustment, while the straight-line tangent groove can be fine-tuned in a more fine range to meet the specific requirements of resistance value in different application scenarios.
[0058] Among them, the first laser tangent is longer (90% of the total length of the L-shaped tangent) to preliminarily correct the resistance value of the resistance layer 3, and then a second protective layer made of glass material is covered. The second laser tangent is shorter (10% of the total length of the straight-line tangent), which further reduces the resistance value range on the basis of the existing one, and then a protective layer made of epoxy resin material is covered. The double protection reduces the influence of water vapor on the resistance value to the minimum. As shown in Figure 5 After adjustment, two laser tangents are performed to solve the problem of parallel resistance caused by crack closure, which leads to resistance drift or drop.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first protective layer 7 is printed by a 250-mesh screen, and the second protective layer 8 is printed by a 325-mesh screen to reduce the mesh effect between them. By selecting different mesh screens to coat the first protective layer 7 and the second protective layer 8 respectively, the mesh effect between them can be effectively reduced. The mesh effect refers to the uneven coverage and adhesion caused by the grid structure in the multi-layer coating process. Selecting screens with different mesh sizes can ensure that the material of each protective layer is evenly distributed, reduce unevenness or bubbles between layers, and improve the overall coating quality.
[0060] As shown in Figure 4 In this embodiment, preferably, the shape of the resistance layer 3 is square, and the size of the moisture-proof resistor is specifically 3.20±0.20mm in length L, 1.60±0.20mm in width W, and 0.60±0.20mm in height T. The length A and B of the electroplated layer are both 0.40±0.20mm.
[0061] In combination Figures 6 to 7 In a second aspect, the embodiment further provides a preparation method of a moisture-proof resistor, including the following steps:
[0062] S1: providing a substrate 1, forming back electrodes 2 separated from each other on the lower surface of the substrate 1, and forming left electrodes 5 and right electrodes 6 separated from each other on the upper surface of the substrate 1;
[0063] S2: forming a resistance layer 3 connected to the left electrodes 5 and the right electrodes 6;
[0064] S3: Forming a first protective layer 7 composed of at least two layers of glass material and a second protective layer 8 composed of at least two layers of epoxy resin material on the resistance layer 3;
[0065] S4: Forming a third protective layer 9 of resin silver material on the uncovered left electrode 5 and right electrode 6;
[0066] S5: Sputtering along the side to form a side electrode 4 connecting the front electrode and the corresponding side back electrode 2;
[0067] S6: Electroplating a layer of metal nickel to form a nickel plating layer 10 completely covering the back electrode 2, side electrode 4, front electrode and third protective layer 9;
[0068] S7: Electroplating a layer of metal tin on the surface of the nickel plating layer 10 to form a tin plating layer 11 completely covering the nickel plating layer 10 and overlapping on the second protective layer 8.
[0069] In the above, by forming a first protective layer 7 composed of at least two layers of glass material and a second protective layer 8 composed of at least two layers of epoxy resin material, the resistance layer 3 is provided with multiple protection, and the multi-layer structure significantly enhances the moisture resistance of the resistor, prolonging its service life in a humid environment. The tin plating layer 11 covers the nickel plating layer 10 and overlaps on the second protective layer 8, further strengthening the protection ability of the resistor, avoiding the performance loss caused by defects between the plating layers. The combination of multi-layer protection structure and processing technology in the entire preparation method makes the resistor have excellent electrical performance, long-term stability and high reliability, which helps to enhance the moisture resistance and durability of the resistor, and is especially suitable for electronic devices in harsh environments.
[0070] In step S1, it also includes:
[0071] First, print the back electrode 2 material and dry at 180°C; then print the front electrode material and dry at 180°C; after sintering at 850°C, the back electrode 2 and front electrode are formed correspondingly.
[0072] In step S3, it also includes:
[0073] Using a laser to cut the resistance layer on the same side, respectively, forming a laser cutting slot 12 that penetrates through the first protective layer 7 composed of at least two layers of glass material, and a laser cutting slot 12 that penetrates through the first protective layer 7 composed of at least two layers of glass material, corresponding to adjust the resistance value of the resistance layer 3 to the required resistance value.
[0074] Specifically, first, a first protective layer 7 of glass material is formed, then a laser cutting groove 12 of L-shaped occupying 90% of the total length is cut, then a first protective layer 7 of glass material is formed, and finally a laser cutting groove 12 of straight line type occupying 10% of the total length is cut.
[0075] In step S3, it also includes:
[0076] Two layers of glass material of the same thickness are printed, dried and sintered at 600 DEG C respectively to form the first protective layer 7. Two layers of epoxy resin material of different thicknesses and one layer of resin silver material are printed, dried and sintered at 220 DEG C respectively to form the second protective layer 8 and the third protective layer 9.
[0077] Preferably, the first protective layer 7 is printed by silk screen printing with 250 mesh, and the second protective layer 8 is printed by silk screen printing with 325 mesh. Among them, the film thickness of the two layers of first protective layer 7 is the same, and the film thickness of the two layers of second protective layer 8 is different.
[0078] In step S5, it also includes:
[0079] The side electrode 4 is sputtered to the height of the third protective layer 9, and the side electrode 4 and the third protective layer 9 are in the state of intersection after sputtering. Specifically, by sputtering the side electrode 4 to the height of the third protective layer 9, the precise butt joint between the electrode and the protective layer can be ensured, which helps to improve the stability of electrical connection and avoids the contact failure or electrical performance problems caused by the height difference between the electrode and the protective layer.
