Patent number: 11601021Abstract: A motor includes a rotor and a stator. The stator is formed by laminating a plurality of magnetic thin strips each having a plurality of teeth parts. The magnetic thin strip includes an elliptical-shaped inner diameter part formed along tip end portions of the plural teeth parts. At least one magnetic thin strip in the laminated magnetic thin strips is shifted by a given angle with respect to other magnetic thin strips in a horizontal direction, and positions of all teeth parts of the laminated magnetic thin strips correspond to one another to reduce cogging torque.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Mitsuo Saitoh, Naoki Nojiri, Hideaki Hamada, Kenji Tanimoto, Fumihiko Kawai, Yukio Nishikawa

Patent number: 8193091Abstract: The present invention includes a die pad; signal leads, ground connection leads connected to the die pad; a semiconductor chip including electrode pads for grounding; metal thin wires, and an encapsulating resin for encapsulating the die pad and the semiconductor chip and encapsulating the signal leads and the ground connection lead such that lower portions of the signal leads and the ground connection lead are exposed as external terminals. The ground connection lead is connected to the electrode pad for grounding, so that the resin-encapsulated semiconductor device is electrically stabilized. Furthermore, interference between high frequency signals passing through the signal leads can be suppressed by the die pad and the ground connection leads.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2002Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Fumihiko Kawai, Toshiyuki Fukuda, Masanori Minamio, Noboru Takeuchi, Shuichi Ogata, Katsushi Tara, Tadayoshi Nakatsuka

Patent number: 6710430Abstract: A resin-encapsulated semiconductor device includes a die pad, a semiconductor chip mounted on the die pad, and a group of leads. The group of leads include at least three kinds of leads, including first, second and third leads. While the first lead and the third lead are connected to each other upon production of the lead frame, the first lead and the third lead are separated from each other in a subsequent step. Moreover, a thin metal wire for connecting an electrode of the semiconductor chip to the bonding pad of each lead, and an encapsulation resin for encapsulating the semiconductor chip, the leads, the thin metal wire, etc., are provided. The pad of each lead is exposed on a surface of the encapsulation resin so that the pad can function as an external terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2002Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masanori Minamio, Toru Nomura, Fumihiko Kawai

Patent number: 6674154Abstract: A lead frame includes a die pad, a suspension lead and a plurality of leads. The group of leads include at least three kinds of leads, including first, second and third leads. While the first lead and the third lead are connected to each other upon production of the lead frame, a connecting portion therebetween has a smaller thickness than that of the frame body so that the first lead and the third lead can be separated from each other in a subsequent step.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2002Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masanori Minamio, Toru Nomura, Fumihiko Kawai
