  • Publication number: 20240112991
    Abstract: A semiconductor module includes: a stacked substrate; a semiconductor element arranged on an upper surface of the first circuit board; a metal wiring board including a first bonding portion bonded to an upper surface of the semiconductor element with a bonding material; and a sealing resin that seals the stacked substrate, the semiconductor element, and the metal wiring board. The first bonding portion includes a plate-shaped portion having an upper surface and a lower surface. The metal wiring board has a first standing portion standing up from one end of the first bonding portion, and a second standing portion standing up from the other end of the first bonding portion. The first standing portion constitutes a part of a wiring path through which a main current flows. The second standing portion constitutes a non-wiring path through which the main current does not flow.

  • Patent number: 8674592
    Abstract: A spark plug includes a ceramic insulator having a tapered rear end stepped portion whose diameter decreases from front to rear and a metal shell having a crimp portion which crimps the rear end stepped portion from the rear end. An area defined by an outer edge of the rear end stepped portion and an inner edge of the crimp portion is 5-25 mm2 when the spark plug is projected on a plane perpendicular to an axial line. An angle formed by a tapered surface of the rear end stepped portion and a plane perpendicular to the axial line is 20-60 degrees. A distance along the axial line from a front end of a proximal portion of the crimp portion to a frontmost position of a contact portion between an inner surface of the crimp and the rear end stepped portion is 0.4-1.8 mm.

  • Patent number: 8519606
    Abstract: A spark plug (1) includes an insulator (2) and a metal shell (3), including a middle section (41) positioned between a collar section (16) and a tool engaging section (19). The middle section (41) has a bulged section (42), a first slender section (43) and a second slender section (44) that is the most slender at a portion positioned further to the leading end side than the bulged section (42). In a cross-section including the axis CL1, when the distance between both slender sections (43) and (44) along the axis CL1 is F (mm) and the bulged amount to the inside in diametrical direction of a most bulged section (42M) with respect to an imaginary line that connects a portion that is positioned furthest to the inside in diametrical direction of both slender sections 43 and 44 is G (mm), the relationship 0.00<G/F?0.18 is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8492964
    Abstract: A spark plug including a center electrode; an insulator; and a metal shell, the metal shell including: a tool engaging section; a body section; and a groove section formed between the tool engaging section and the body section, and having bulges which bulge in an outer peripheral direction and in an inner peripheral direction. When a portion of the groove section having a largest outer diameter is a first section, a thinnest portion from the first section to the body section is a second section, and a portion having a thickness that is the same as that of the first section is a third section, a relation between a thickness A of the second section and a radius of curvature R of an outer surface of the metal shell that continues from the second section to the third section satisfies R×A?0.20 mm2.
