[0029] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application; however, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the transistor through-hole package module of this embodiment includes a carrier assembly 100, an insulating encapsulation body 200 (e.g., resin), and at least one transistor 300 encapsulated within the insulating encapsulation body 200. The transistor 300 may be a MOSFET chip or an IGBT chip, but is not limited thereto. The carrier assembly 100 includes a metal heat sink 110 and a lead frame 130. The side of the lead frame 130 facing away from the transistor 300 is bonded to the metal heat sink 110 by an insulating thermally conductive adhesive 120. The metal heat sink 110 and the lead frame 130 are made of copper or a copper alloy.

[0032] In this application, the thickness of the insulating thermally conductive adhesive 120 can be determined based on factors such as the voltage withstand capability, connection strength, and thermal conductivity requirements between the lead frame 130 and the metal heat sink 110. The specific thickness can be 0.10 mm to 0.15 mm, but is not limited thereto. The thermal conductivity of the insulating thermally conductive adhesive 120 is preferably greater than 3 W / m·K, more preferably greater than 5 W / m·K, for example, 10 W / m·K.

[0033] The lead frame 130 includes a plurality of through-hole pins 132 extending from a first side of the insulating package 200 and a die pad 131 disposed within the insulating package 200. The transistor 300 is mounted on the surface of the die pad 131 facing away from the thermally conductive insulating adhesive 120 and electrically connected to the through-hole pins 132. Preferably, the die pad 131 and one of the plurality of through-hole pins 132 have an integrally formed structure to simplify the structure of the lead frame 130.

[0034] The multiple through-hole pins 132 are preferably arranged in a linear configuration. In Embodiment 1, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the multiple through-hole pins 132 include a first pin 132a and a second pin 132b with a planar structure. The die pad 131 has an integrally formed structure with the first pin 132a. The transistor 300 mounted on the die pad 131 can be electrically connected to the first pin 132a via the die pad 131. The transistor 300 can be electrically connected to the second pin 132b via a conductive wire (e.g., gold or silver wire). Both the solder pad 132b1 and the conductive wire are encapsulated within an insulating package 200.

[0035] The metal heat sink 110 is configured to be partially exposed from the insulating package 200 for connection to an external heat sink or for direct heat dissipation. In Embodiment 1, the metal heat sink 110 has a heat dissipation portion 110b extending from a second side of the insulating package 200, the second side being disposed opposite to the first side. Preferably, the heat dissipation portion 110b has recesses 111 on both opposite sides in its width direction.

[0036] As a variation of Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG4, each of the plurality of through-hole pins 132, including the first pin 132a and the second pin 132b, has a bend 133 disposed within the insulating package 200.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the transistor through-hole package module of Embodiment 2 includes a carrier assembly 100, an insulating package 200, and at least one transistor 300 encapsulated within the insulating package 200. The carrier assembly 100 includes a metal heat sink 110 and a lead frame 130. The side of the lead frame 130 facing away from the transistor 300 is bonded to the metal heat sink 110 via an insulating thermally conductive adhesive 120. The lead frame 130 includes a plurality of through-hole pins 132 extending from the insulating package 200 and a die pad 131 disposed within the insulating package 200. The transistor 300 is mounted on the surface of the die pad 131 facing away from the thermally conductive insulating adhesive 120 and electrically connected to the through-hole pins 132.

[0039] For example, a plurality of through-hole pins 132 include a first pin 132a, a second pin 132b, and a third pin 132c arranged linearly. A die pad 131 has an integrally formed structure with the first pin 132a. A transistor 300 mounted on the die pad 131 can be electrically connected to the first pin 132a via the die pad 131. The transistor 300 can be electrically connected to the second pin 132b and the third pin 132c via conductive wires (e.g., gold or silver wires). The pads 132b1, 132c1, and conductive wires are all encapsulated within an insulating package 200.

[0040] In Embodiment 2, as shown in FIG5, the surface of the metal heat sink 110 facing away from the insulating thermally conductive adhesive 120 forms a heat dissipation surface 110a exposed from the insulating package 200. Preferably, viewed from the thickness direction of the metal heat sink 110, the heat dissipation surface 110a is configured not to extend beyond the insulating package 200, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the packaged module. The heat dissipation surface 110a and the surface of the insulating package 200 can be flush or have a height difference.

[0041] As a variation of Embodiment 2, as shown in FIG8, each of the plurality of through-hole pins 132, including a first pin 132a, a second pin 132b and a third pin 132c, has a bend 133 disposed within the insulating package 200.

[0042] Further descriptions of Example 2 can be found in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0043] In summary, in the transistor through-hole package module of this application, the metal heat sink 110 and the lead frame 130 are thermally connected. The transistor 300 can dissipate heat not only through the through-hole pins 132 of the lead frame 130, but also through the metal heat sink 110 exposed from the insulating package 200, thus achieving better heat dissipation performance. The metal heat sink 110 and the lead frame 130 are bonded together with insulating thermally conductive adhesive 120 for fixation, thermal conduction, and electrical insulation, which has the advantages of convenient manufacturing and low cost.

Any equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the present application should also be covered by the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
