If "first" and "second" are mentioned, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation, connection, and linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3This application provides a lead frame, including: a frame body 100; at least one frame unit 200 disposed within the frame body 100, the frame unit 200 including a base island 210 and pins 220, the base island 210 being disposed in the middle of the frame unit 200 and used to support a chip, the pins 220 being disposed on the outer side of the base island 210, the pins 220 including a first pin segment 221, a second pin segment 222 and a third pin segment 223, the first pin segment 221 being connected to the frame body 100, the second pin segment 222 being connected to the first pin segment 221, the second pin segment 222 being inclined toward one side of the first pin segment 221, the third pin segment 223 being connected to the second pin segment 222, and a bent portion 224 being provided at the end of the third pin segment 223 away from the second pin segment 222.

[0027] The lead frame described in this application divides the pin 220 into a first pin segment 221, a second pin segment 222, and a third pin segment 223. The second pin segment 222 is inclined toward the side of the first pin segment 221, and the third pin segment 223 has a bent portion 224 at the end away from the second pin segment 222. This increases the adhesive gripping area between the adhesive and the lead frame, reduces the impact of the external die-cutting force on the interior of the encapsulation, improves product reliability, and ensures product quality.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, four frame units 200 are provided, and the four frame units 200 are arranged in an array on the frame body 100. Of course, three, five, or other frame units 200 may also be provided. This application does not limit the number of frame units 200.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the first foot segment 221 is vertically connected to the frame body 100 to facilitate manufacturing and processing, and to simplify operation. Of course, the first foot segment 221 can also be inclined to the frame body 100, and this application does not limit this.

[0030] A protrusion 225 is provided on the side of the second lead segment 222 away from the base island 210. By providing the protrusion 225 on the side of the second lead segment 222 away from the base island 210, the molding strength between the lead 220 and the outer wall of the molding compound can be improved, ensuring product quality. The protrusion 225 is designed with an arc shape, which enhances the overall aesthetics. It should be noted that the protrusion 225 can also be designed with rectangular, triangular, or other shapes; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0031] The third leg segment 223 is arranged parallel to the first leg segment 221. A recess 226 is provided on the side of the third leg segment 223 away from the base island 210, forming a bend 224 between the recess 226 and the end face of the third leg segment 223. By placing the recess 226 on the side of the third leg segment 223 away from the base island 210, the bonding strength with the molding compound can be further enhanced, improving product quality. The bend 224 formed by the recess 226 and the end face of the third leg segment 223, located on the side of the third leg segment away from the base island 210, increases the adhesive gripping area between the colloid and the lead frame, reduces the impact of the external die-cutting force on the interior of the molding compound, improves product reliability, and ensures product quality. The recess 226 can be an arc structure or a rectangular structure, etc., and those skilled in the art can make a reasonable choice according to the actual situation; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0032] Furthermore, the second lead segment 222 is connected to the first lead segment 221 via a riser 227, which is located on the side of the second lead segment 222 and the first lead segment 221 closest to the base island 210. The bending portion 224 cooperates with the riser 227 to form a double-locking mechanism to prevent stretching. After molding, this mechanism can form a reverse locking action with the molding body. Under the physical locking and interlocking action of the action and reaction forces, a reverse force is provided during the molding and punching process to counteract the external force, protecting the product's leads 220 from being loosened or misaligned by external forces. This effectively solves problems such as delamination between the leads 220 and the molding body, and lead wire breakage, thus improving product quality.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the base island 210 has a rectangular structure, and four pins 220 are arranged on the left and right sides of the base island 210, corresponding to the four corners of the base island 210. The pins 220 on the same side are arranged opposite each other. Further, the four corners of the base island 210 are provided with bevels 211, which are parallel to the second lead segment 222. This structure improves the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, the base island 210 is provided with lugs 212, located between the pins 220 on the same side, which helps improve the bonding with the molding compound and enhances product quality. Both the pins 220 and the base island 210 have a metal plating layer. This metal plating layer provides protection, facilitates the internal lead layout of the product, and avoids the risk of delamination between the molding compound and the base island 210 by preventing the entire base island 210 from being silver-plated.

[0034] It is conceivable that the frame body 100 is provided with connecting ribs 110, which are located below the base island 210 and connected to the base island 210, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure.
