Publication number: 20230335480Abstract: Provided are a power semiconductor device using a lead frame, in which deformation and bending of terminals is suppressed, insulation is secured between terminals, and mounting onto a control board is facilitated, and a manufacturing method thereof. A package in which a semiconductor element mounted on a lead frame is sealed, terminals being bent and exposed from side surfaces of the package, and, a terminal bending portion being a portion bent in each of the terminals, a width thereof being larger than a width of a tip of the terminal, and being equal to or smaller than the width of a contact portion of the terminal in contact with the package are provided; therefore, deformation and bending of the terminals is suppressed, a necessary insulation is secured between the adjacent terminals, and mounting onto a control board is facilitated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Keitaro ICHIKAWA, Taketoshi SHIKANO, Yuji SHIKASHO, Fumihito KAWAHARA

Patent number: 11335629Abstract: A transfer-mold type power module includes a plurality of electrode terminals that is arranged so as to protrude in the same direction from a target side surface of a package. A tie bar cutting residue protruding from a first side surface of each of the electrode terminals and a tie bar cutting residue protruding from a second side surface of each of the electrode terminals are different in position in a length direction of each of the electrode terminals. Each of the electrode terminals has a shape bent at a position including tie bar cutting residue closer to the package, with a width direction of each of the electrode terminals as an axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Fumihito Kawahara, Keitaro Ichikawa, Yuji Shikasho

Patent number: 10504808Abstract: A semiconductor module includes a case. The case includes a bottom part, a case frame, and a case lid. An inner electrode and a stud bolt are provided inside the case. A head part of the stud bolt is tapered, and a tubular part has an inner diameter that increases downward so as to keep a constant distance from the sides of the head part. With this structure, even if the stud bolt is pulled up, the tubular part can hold down the head part. Therefore, the stud bolt can be prevented from being loosened or detached by the force applied from a terminal fixing screw when an external connection terminal is attached or removed.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Fumihito Kawahara, Koji Yamada
