Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic capacitor technology, specifically to a surge-suppressing chip ceramic capacitor. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic capacitors are widely used in various electronic devices due to their small size, high temperature resistance, and high precision. However, when a surge occurs in a circuit, the ceramic capacitor may be subjected to overvoltage, potentially leading to breakdown, short circuits, or even explosions. It may also cause tiny fractures between the internal metal electrodes and the dielectric, ultimately resulting in capacitor failure.

[0003] The IEC 60384-14 standard describes that capacitor Y1 must withstand a surge of 1.2 / 50µs waveform with Up = 8KV; capacitor Y2 must withstand a surge of 1.2 / 50µs waveform with Up = 5KV. However, during this test, capacitor Y1 may break down. Breakdown will cause leakage, potentially leading to electric shock and endangering personal safety. Ordinary ceramic capacitors have weak surge resistance and are easily damaged by surge impacts, resulting in surge failure. This is mainly due to the tiny gaps between the solder joints and the ceramic dielectric. During a surge, the ceramic body can detach from the solder leads, generating a strong spark discharge, which also endangers personal safety. Utility Model Content

[0032] Please see Figures 1-2 As shown, Figure 1 A rendering of a surge-suppressing surface-mount ceramic capacitor. Figure 2 This embodiment discloses a surge-suppressing chip ceramic capacitor, which includes a package shell 1, a ceramic body 2, a first electrode plate 3, a second electrode plate 4, a first lead 5, and a second lead 6. The ceramic body 2, the first electrode plate 3, and the second electrode plate 4 are all disposed inside the package shell 1, and the package shell 1 seals and encapsulates the ceramic body 2, the first electrode plate 3, and the second electrode plate 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 3-4 As shown, Figure 3 A perspective view of an internal explosion of a surface-mount ceramic capacitor to suppress surges. Figure 4 A two-view diagram of the internal explosion of a surface-mount ceramic capacitor for suppressing surges. The ceramic body 2 includes an upper surface and a lower surface opposite each other. The upper surface is recessed inward to form a first recess 21. The first electrode sheet 3 covers the upper surface and is fixed in the first recess 21. The lower surface is recessed inward to form a second recess 22. The second electrode sheet 4 covers the lower surface and is fixed in the second recess 22.

[0034] Please review Figures 3-4 As shown, one end of the first pin 5 has a first protrusion 51 that matches the first recess 21. The first protrusion 51 can be fully fitted into the first recess 21 and welded to the first electrode sheet 3 fixed in the first recess 21, so that the first pin 5 and the upper surface of the ceramic body 2 are firmly bonded together. The other end of the first pin 5 extends to the outside of the package shell 1. One end of the second pin 6 has a second protrusion 61 that matches the second recess 22. The second protrusion 61 can be fully fitted into the second recess 22 and welded to the second electrode sheet 4 fixed in the second recess 22, so that the second pin 6 and the lower surface of the ceramic body 2 are firmly bonded together. The other end of the second pin 6 extends to the outside of the package shell 1.

[0035] When subjected to surge impact, the first recess 21 on the upper surface of the ceramic body 2 is completely engaged with the first protrusion 51 of the first pin 5. The first protrusion 51 is also welded to the first electrode piece 3 fixed in the first recess 21. After welding, no gap is created, making the first pin 5 and the upper surface of the ceramic body 2 firmly bonded. The second recess 22 on the lower surface of the ceramic body 2 is completely engaged with the second protrusion 61 of the second pin 6. The second protrusion 61 is also welded to the second electrode piece 4 fixed in the second recess 22. After welding, no gap is created, making the second pin 6 and the lower surface of the ceramic body 2 firmly bonded. This prevents the ceramic body 2 from separating from the first pin 5 and the second pin 6 due to impact, thereby improving the capacitor's ability to suppress surges.

[0036] In this embodiment, the encapsulation shell 1 is made of existing epoxy resin material. Alternatively, other insulating materials such as ceramic can be used as the encapsulation shell 1, and it can be made into a square or other shapes as needed. The ceramic body 2 is cylindrical, but in practical applications, it can also be in the form of discs, tubes, cylinders, stacked plates, monoliths, etc. The first electrode plate 3 and the second electrode plate 4 are made of existing metallic copper. Metallic copper has high stability and low high-frequency loss (DF value), making the ceramic capacitor less prone to overheating and short circuits when used in high-frequency circuits, thus improving the reliability of the product and extending its service life. Alternatively, other metals such as metallic silver can also be used as electrode plates. The first pin 5 and the second pin 6 are both made of metallic copper. Other metals with good conductivity, such as silver, aluminum, and steel, can also be used.

[0037] For details, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the first pin of a surge-suppressing surface-mount ceramic capacitor. Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the second pin of the surge-suppressing surface-mount ceramic capacitor shows that the first pin 5 includes a first electrode bonding portion 52 and a first extension portion 53. One side of the first electrode bonding portion 52 protrudes outward to form a first protrusion 51, which is adapted to the first recess 21 of the ceramic body 2. One end of the first extension portion 53 is connected to the first electrode bonding portion 52, and the other end extends to the outside of the package housing 1 for soldering onto the PCB board. The second pin 6 includes a second electrode bonding portion 62 and a second extension portion 63. One side of the second electrode bonding portion 62 protrudes outward to form a second protrusion 61, which is adapted to the second recess 22 of the ceramic body 2. One end of the second extension portion 63 is connected to the second electrode bonding portion 62, and the other end extends to the outside of the package housing for soldering onto the PCB board.

[0038] In this embodiment, one side of the first electrode welding portion 52 of the first pin 5 protrudes outward to form a first protrusion 51, and the other side is concave. Of course, it can also be flat, as long as it does not affect the fitting and fastening state between the first protrusion 51 and the upper surface of the ceramic body 2. One end of the first extension portion 53 is connected to the first electrode welding portion 52, and the other end extends out of the package shell 1 and is welded parallel to the PCB board to ensure a stable connection and also to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. Similarly, the second electrode welding portion 62 and the second extension portion 63 of the second pin 6 have the same shape and function as above, and will not be described again here.

[0039] Please review Figures 5-6 As shown, further, a first rough surface 511 is formed on the middle position of the first protrusion 51 facing the first concave portion 21, and a second rough surface 611 is formed on the middle position of the second protrusion 61 facing the second concave portion 22. In this embodiment, both the first rough surface 511 and the second rough surface 611 adopt a printed design, and the printed shape can be grid-like, striped, etc. The first rough surface 511 increases the surface area of ​​the first protrusion 51, and the second rough surface 611 increases the surface area of ​​the second protrusion 61. The increase in surface area is mainly to increase the amount of solder during welding, thereby making the first protrusion 51 and the first concave portion 21 welded more firmly. Similarly, the second protrusion 61 and the second concave portion 22 form a more stable state after welding.

[0040] Specifically, the first extension portion 53 includes a first bending portion 531 and a first PCB board welding portion 532. The first bending portion 531 is formed by multiple bending. One end of the first bending portion 531 is connected to the first electrode sheet welding portion 52, and the other end is connected to the first PCB board welding portion 532. The first PCB board welding portion 532 is located outside the package housing 1 and is arranged parallel to it. The second extension portion 63 includes a second bending portion 631 and a second PCB board welding portion 632. The second bending portion 631 is formed by multiple bending. One end of the second bending portion 631 is connected to the second electrode sheet welding portion 62, and the other end is connected to the second PCB board welding portion 632. The second PCB board welding portion 632 is located outside the package housing 1 and is arranged parallel to it. In this embodiment, the first extension portion 53 adopts the multiple bending structure of the first bending portion 531 to generate different potentials, avoiding the risk of capacitor failure. When the capacitor is horizontally welded to the PCB board through the first PCB board welding portion 532, valuable PCB surface space is saved, thereby reducing costs. Similarly, the second extension 63 has the same function as the first extension 53, and will not be described again here.

[0041] In practical applications, the ceramic body 2 is placed inside the package housing 1. The first recess 21 of the ceramic body 2 matches the first protrusion 51 of the first pin 5. A first rough surface 511 is formed in the middle of the side of the first protrusion 51 facing the first recess 21, increasing the surface area of ​​the first protrusion 51 and thus increasing the amount of solder. When it is soldered to the first electrode piece 3 fixed on the first recess 21, it fits more tightly. Similarly, the second recess 22 of the ceramic body 2 is fitted with the second protrusion 61 of the second pin 6. A second rough surface 611 is formed in the middle of the side of the second protrusion 61 facing the first recess 22, increasing the surface area of ​​the second protrusion 61 and thus increasing the amount of solder. When it is soldered to the first electrode piece 4 fixed on the second recess 22, it fits more tightly, thus making the connection between the ceramic body 2 and the first pin 5 and the second pin 6 more secure. Under surge impact, it is not easy to detach, improving the surge suppression capability of the capacitor.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
