Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power module technology, specifically a waterproof structure for a power module. Background Technology

[0002] Power modules are power supplies that can be directly mounted on printed circuit boards. They are characterized by their ability to provide power to application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), microprocessors, memories, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and other digital or analog loads. Generally, these modules are called load power supply systems or point-of-use power supply systems. Due to the numerous advantages of their modular structure, modular power supplies are widely used in communication fields such as switching equipment, access equipment, mobile communications, microwave communications, optical transmission, and routers, as well as in automotive electronics and aerospace. In recent years, due to the rapid development of data services and the continuous promotion of distributed power supply systems, the growth rate of modular power supplies has exceeded that of primary power supplies. Modular power supplies offer isolation, strong anti-interference capabilities, built-in protection functions, and are easy to integrate. With the widespread use of semiconductor processes, packaging technologies, and high-frequency soft switching, the power density and conversion efficiency of modular power supplies are increasing, and their applications are becoming simpler. However, existing modular power supplies, by being directly mounted on circuit boards, lack waterproof protection structures, making them susceptible to corrosion when exposed to moisture or water, affecting normal operation.
