Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] In the existing driver, one end of the terminal post is mostly welded on the aluminum substrate in the surface mounting mode, and the other end of the terminal post penetrates the through-hole type pad of the FR-4 circuit board and is welded on the through-hole type pad through soldering. When the metal terminal post is surface-mounted and welded on the aluminum substrate, because the number of terminal posts is large, after the aluminum substrate is brushed with tin paste, pasted with components and terminal posts, and placed into the reflow soldering furnace for reflow soldering, hot air in the furnace flows through the components and terminal posts, the surface-mounted area of the bottom of the terminal post is small, and the height of the terminal post is high, so the flowing hot air can make the terminal post tilt. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at the problem that when the metal terminal post is surface-mounted and welded on the aluminum substrate in the existing driver structure, because the number of terminal posts is large, after the aluminum substrate is brushed with tin paste, pasted with components and terminal posts, and placed into the reflow soldering furnace for reflow soldering, hot air in the furnace flows through the components and terminal posts, the surface-mounted area of the bottom of the terminal post is small, and the height of the terminal post is high, so the flowing hot air can make the terminal post tilt, provides a circuit connection structure, when applied to the driver, can greatly reduce the occurrence of the tilting event of the terminal post in the reflow soldering process.

[0006] A field effect transistor, the bottom surface is a pad, and the side surface is provided with a pin for controlling the on-off of the field effect transistor;

[0007] An aluminum substrate, a surface-mounted pad is arranged on the plate surface, and the surface-mounted pad is used for welding the pad of the bottom surface of the field effect transistor;

[0009] After the field effect transistor is welded on the surface-mounted pad of the aluminum substrate, the pin of the field effect transistor is bent and inserted into the through-hole pad of the aluminum substrate and welded and connected with the through-hole pad.

[0027] Exemplary embodiments will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, these exemplary embodiments may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the scope of this invention.

[0028] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0029] As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more related enumerated entries.

[0030] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The singular forms “a” and “the” used herein are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0031] When the terms “comprising” and / or “made of” are used in this specification, the presence of the stated feature, integral, step, operation, element and / or component is specified, but the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups thereof is not excluded.

[0032] Unless otherwise specified, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. It will also be understood that terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be understood to have the meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present invention, and will not be understood to have an idealized or overly formal meaning unless expressly so defined herein.

[0033] In existing driver structures, when metal terminals are surface-mounted onto an aluminum substrate, the large number of terminals and the high-temperature hot airflow during reflow soldering after solder paste application, component placement, and terminal mounting can cause them to tilt. This embodiment provides a circuit connection structure that significantly reduces the occurrence of terminal tilting during reflow soldering when applied to a driver.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a circuit connection structure, including an aluminum substrate 1, a circuit board 2, a field-effect transistor, and a support pillar 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the field-effect transistor (FET) is a large pad, and the side surface of the FET has relatively long metal leads. Furthermore, some of these leads possess the electrical characteristics necessary to control the on / off state of the FET.

[0036] In this embodiment, the aluminum substrate 1 is provided with first mounting holes and surface mount pads 11. The number of first mounting holes is not limited and can be selected and arranged according to actual needs. For ease of implementation, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, four first mounting holes can be selected, and the four first mounting holes can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the aluminum substrate 1. Preferably, the four first mounting holes can be arranged at the four corners of the aluminum substrate 1. Specifically, in Figure 2 In the view shown, the four first mounting holes on the aluminum substrate 1 can be named K11 mounting hole, K12 mounting hole, K13 mounting hole and K14 mounting hole in sequence.

[0037] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the shape of the aluminum substrate 1 and the shape of the circuit board 2 should be consistent, both of which can be regular or irregular structural boards. In this embodiment, the four first mounting holes are arranged at the four corners of the aluminum substrate 1, which can be understood as the four first mounting holes being located at the four corners near the edge of the aluminum substrate 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of surface mount pads 11 on the aluminum substrate 1 can be one, two, or more, and each surface mount pad 11 is used to solder to a large pad on the bottom surface of the field-effect transistor. For example... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a lead bending area 12 is also provided on the side of each surface mount pad 11. When the field effect transistor is soldered to the surface mount pad 11 on the aluminum substrate 1, the metal lead on the side of the field effect transistor first extends to the lead bending area 12 on the side of the upper surface mount pad, and then bends away from the aluminum substrate 1.

[0039] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the surface mount pads 11 can be selected as six. Specifically, the six surface mount pads 11 can be divided into two groups and distributed along both sides of the aluminum substrate 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the circuit board 2 is disposed directly above the aluminum substrate 1, and the circuit board 2 is provided with second mounting holes and through-hole pads 21. The number of second mounting holes on the circuit board 2 should be consistent with the number of first mounting holes on the aluminum substrate 1, and the second mounting holes are correspondingly arranged directly above the first mounting holes. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the circuit board 2 has four second mounting holes, which can be named K21 mounting hole, K22 mounting hole, K23 mounting hole and K24 mounting hole in sequence.

[0041] In this embodiment, the number of through-hole pads 21 on the circuit board 2 should be consistent with the number of lead bending areas 12 on the aluminum substrate 1, and the through-hole pads 21 on the circuit board 2 should be arranged directly above the lead bending areas 12.

[0042] During the assembly process, after the field-effect transistor is soldered to the surface mount pad 11 on the aluminum substrate 1, the metal pins on the side of the field-effect transistor are bent toward the circuit board 2 in the lead bending area 12 on the side of the surface mount pad, so that the metal pins extend into the corresponding through-hole pads 21 above, and the soldering between the metal pins and the corresponding through-hole pads 21 is completed.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, the circuit board 2 is fixed to the top of the aluminum substrate 1 by the support column 3. That is, in this embodiment, both ends of the support column 3 are fixedly connected to the aluminum substrate 1 and the circuit board 2, respectively. Further, to facilitate the fixed connection of both ends of the support column 3 to the aluminum substrate 1 and the circuit board 2, the support column 3 in this embodiment can adopt a hollow structure. The number of support columns 3 in this embodiment can be selected to be the same as the number of first mounting holes, and the aluminum substrate 1, support column 3 and circuit board 2 are fixedly connected together by screws 42 passing through the first mounting hole, the support column 3 and the second mounting hole in sequence.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, four support pillars 3 can be selected and named sequentially as K1 support pillar 3, K2 support pillar 3, K3 support pillar 3, and K4 support pillar 3. Taking K1 support pillar 3, K11 mounting hole, and K21 mounting hole as examples, the aluminum substrate 1, support pillars 3, and circuit board 2 can be fixedly connected in the following way:

[0045] First, screws 42 are used to pass through the K11 mounting hole on the aluminum substrate 1, the inner hole of the K1 support 3, and the K21 mounting hole on the circuit board 2 in sequence. Then, screws 42 are locked on the outside of the circuit board 2 by nuts 41 to achieve a fixed connection between the aluminum substrate 1, the support 3 and the circuit board 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, four second mounting holes are respectively disposed directly above four first mounting holes, and through-hole pads 21 are respectively disposed directly above lead wire bending area 12. In order to facilitate the quick acquisition of the position between various structures on aluminum substrate 1 or circuit board 2 during processing and manufacturing, this embodiment can select mounting hole K11 as the processing positioning hole of aluminum substrate 1, and correspondingly select mounting hole K21 as the processing positioning hole of circuit board 2.

[0047] In use, after the power supply is turned on to the circuit board 2, this embodiment can use the pins of the field-effect transistor to replace the terminals to transmit the on / off signal of the field-effect transistor, thereby reducing the number of terminals used and thus reducing the risk of the terminals in the aluminum substrate 1 tilting during the reflow soldering process.

[0048] It should be understood that this embodiment uses the pins of the field-effect transistor (FET) to replace some of the terminals, rather than using the pins of the FET to replace all the terminals. That is, in the circuit connection structure provided in this embodiment, both terminals and pins of the FET are used to transmit signals.

[0049] Preferably, each field-effect transistor (FET) in this embodiment includes three pins: a gate, a drain, and a source. Correspondingly, each lead bending region 12 includes a gate bending region G, a drain bending region D, and a source bending region S. In this case, the through-hole pad 21 on the circuit board 2 can be provided with three pin vias, and these three pin vias are respectively positioned above the gate bending region G, the drain bending region D, and the source bending region S, so that the gate pin, drain pin, and source pin of the FET can be soldered to the corresponding through-hole pad 21.

[0050] Therefore, when in use, each MOSFET pin can replace three terminals, which greatly reduces the number of terminals used and significantly reduces the risk of the terminals in the aluminum substrate 1 tilting during reflow soldering.

[0051] Example embodiments have been disclosed herein, and while specific terminology has been used, it is for general illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting. In some embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that features, characteristics, and / or elements described in connection with particular embodiments may be used alone, or in combination with features, characteristics, and / or elements described in connection with other embodiments, unless otherwise expressly indicated. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
