Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board component technology, and in particular to a horizontal safety capacitor. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most existing safety-certified ceramic capacitors adopt a traditional structure, with two leads soldered onto a ceramic plate (silver or copper electrode) and the surface encapsulated with epoxy grease of a certain thickness. The product is mounted vertically on the PCB, with varying heights depending on the size of the product. However, as the requirements for miniaturization and thinning of various electronic products continue to increase, the height requirements for electronic components are becoming increasingly smaller. Current vertical safety capacitors cannot meet these miniaturization and thinning requirements, nor can they meet the lower height requirements for electronic components. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a horizontal safety capacitor that eliminates the need for pins on both sides of the body in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the thickness of the body and facilitating the miniaturization and thinning of horizontal safety capacitors.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a horizontal safety capacitor, including a body 1. The body 1 has an upper electrode 2 and a lower electrode 3 respectively disposed on both sides in the vertical direction. The body 1 is horizontally disposed on a circuit board, and the circuit board can be cylindrical or square, depending on the requirements of the circuit board. An electrode hole 4 is provided on the body 1, which is disposed through the body 1 in the thickness direction. The inner wall surface of the body 1 at the electrode hole 4 is coated with a metallic paint layer 41.
[0026] The upper electrode 2 includes a first electrode plate 21 and a second electrode plate 22. The first electrode plate 21 is disposed above the body 1 and covers the electrode hole 4. The second electrode plate 22 is close to the electrode hole 4 and connected to a metallic paint layer 41. The second electrode plate 22 is connected to a first pin 5. Finally, the upper electrode 2 passes through the electrode hole 4 and is connected to the first pin 5, which is connected to the circuit board. The lower electrode 3 is disposed below the body 1 and is also closely attached to the body 1. The end of the lower electrode 3 away from the first pin 5 is connected to a second pin 6, which is directly connected to the circuit board. The horizontal safety capacitor of this application, by setting the electrode hole 4 plated with metallic paint on the body 1, allows the pins (first pin 5 and second pin 6) connected to the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3 to be located on the side of the body 1 close to the circuit board, and allows the pins to be directly connected to the circuit board. It eliminates the need to set pins on both sides of the body 1 in the vertical direction, reducing the thickness of the body 1 and helping to meet the miniaturization and thinning requirements of the horizontal safety capacitor. Compared with existing technologies, the horizontal safety ceramic capacitor of this application can provide a full range of capacitance specifications while achieving a product height that is only 1 / 3 to 1 / 4 of the original product height, effectively saving circuit board surface space and better meeting the market demand for increasingly miniaturized and thin electronic products.
[0027] In some embodiments of this utility model, the body 1 is made of ceramic material, which is reliable insulated and resistant to high temperature, and will not cause leakage between the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3.
[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3 are silver electrode sheets or copper electrode sheets, which have strong conductivity and will not affect the circuit flow.
[0029] In some embodiments of this utility model, a receiving groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1. The receiving groove 11 penetrates the main body 1 in the width direction. A discharge part 7 is provided in the receiving groove 11. The discharge part 7 is composed of discharge material. The two ends of the discharge part 7 are respectively connected to the metal paint layer 41 and the lower electrode 3. The discharge material at the bottom of the main body 1 can effectively isolate the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3 to avoid accidental discharge accidents.
[0030] In some embodiments of this invention, the body 1 is externally covered with an epoxy resin layer 8, with the first pin 5 and the second pin 6 extending out of the epoxy resin layer 8. Epoxy resin has high flame-retardant properties, reducing the fire risk in the event of a capacitor failure and ensuring circuit safety. It prevents the spread of flames and the entry of oxygen, effectively suppressing the expansion of the fire. Furthermore, epoxy resin has excellent insulation properties, effectively isolating the metal electrodes of the ceramic plate from the external environment, preventing changes and losses in capacitor performance, further improving the capacitor's insulation resistance and insulation strength, and ensuring circuit stability and safety.
[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pin 5 and the second pin 6 are made of copper. Copper has low resistance and strong conductivity, and will not affect the flow of the circuit. The surfaces of the first pin 5 and the second pin 6 are plated with tin to prevent the pins from oxidizing or corroding in the air, thereby extending the service life of the components. On the other hand, the tin plating layer makes it easier for the solder to contact the pins, reducing the possibility of poor contact after soldering, thereby improving soldering efficiency and soldering quality.
[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the metal paint layer 41 on the inner wall surface of the body 1 at the electrode hole 4 is a silver plating layer. The silver plating layer can enhance the conductivity of the body 1 on the inner wall of the electrode hole 4, which is beneficial to reducing the resistance in the circuit of the upper electrode 2.
[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the horizontal cross-section of the electrode hole 4 is set to square or circular, depending on the requirements of the circuit board or the ease of processing. It can also be processed into other shapes of electrode holes 4, which are not specifically limited here.
[0034] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The main body 1 has an upper electrode 2 and a lower electrode 3 respectively on both sides in the vertical direction. The main body 1 has an electrode hole 4 with an inner wall coated with metallic paint. The upper electrode 2 includes a first electrode plate 21 and a second electrode plate 22. The first electrode plate 21 passes through the electrode hole 4 and is connected to the second electrode plate 22. The second electrode plate 22 is connected to the first pin 5. The lower electrode 3 is directly connected to the second pin 6. The first pin 5 is directly connected to the circuit board, and the second pin 6 is directly connected to the circuit board.
[0035] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a horizontal safety capacitor that eliminates the need for leads on both sides of the body 1 in the vertical direction, reducing the thickness of the body 1 and facilitating the miniaturization and thinning requirements of horizontal safety capacitors. Compared with existing technologies, the horizontal safety ceramic capacitor of this application can provide a full range of capacitance specifications while achieving a product height that is only 1 / 3 to 1 / 4 of the original product height, effectively saving circuit board surface space and better meeting the market demand for increasingly miniaturized and thinner electronic products.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
