  • Patent number: 11991815
    Abstract: Provided is a circuit structure having a novel structure that allows heat from a heat-generating component to be dissipated more efficiently. A circuit structure includes: a heat-generating component that generates heat when energized; energization bus bars that are connected to connection portions of the heat-generating component; cooling members that are formed separately from the energization bus bars, and are connected to the connection portions of the heat-generating component along with energization bus bars, and the heat-transfer portions that are provided in the cooling members, and are in heat-conductive contact with a heat-dissipating body.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024
    Assignees: AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.
    Inventors: Koushi Igura, Hiroki Shimoda, Taiji Yanagida, Kazuya Komaki, Ayaka Asano
  • Publication number: 20230156967
    Abstract: Provided is a circuit assembly with a novel structure that can quickly reduce heat generation at a connection portion of a heat generating component. A circuit assembly includes a heat generating component that generates heat when energized; a energization member that connects to a connection portion of the heat generating component; a fastening member that fastens the energization member to the connection portion; and a heat capacity increasing component that thermally connects to a fastening site of the energization member and the connection portion and increases a heat capacity of the connection portion of the heat generating component.
