  • Publication number: 20240339387
    Abstract: A semiconductor power module includes one or more semiconductors placed on a substrate. At least one contact pin extends basically perpendicular to the substrate and is electrically connected to the substrate or the semiconductor via a pin foot. A terminal end of the contact pin protrudes outside an encapsulation compound encapsulating at least partially the substrate, the one or more semiconductors, and the contact pin. At least one sealing ring and at least one washer are received by a pin shaft of the contact pin such that they rest on the pin foot. The washer is fixed by the encapsulation compound, and the sealing ring is held in longitudinal direction of the pin shaft in an elastically deformed state by the washer.

  • Publication number: 20220071066
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic power system (1) comprising at least one electronic power module (2). The electronic power module (2) comprises a base plate (3) and at least one heat generating component arranged on a first side of the base plate (3). The electronic power module (2) comprises a cooling structure (4) transporting heat away from the electronic power module (2) via a coolant that is guided by the cooling structure (4). The cooling structure (4) is arranged on a second side (5) of the base plate (3) opposite to the first side. Task of the invention is to provide an electronic power system (1) with an improved cooling. According to the present invention this task is solved in that the cooling structure (4) is integrally formed with the base plate (3).

  • Publication number: 20220013371
    Abstract: A mold tool 1 is described for molding a semiconductor power module having an electrical contact pin 2 which includes an electrical contact portion 3 for contacting a substrate 4 with another electrical component. The pin 2 comprises a protruding portion 5 being a top-sided pin connector. The mold tool 1 includes a first 6 and a second mold die which, when brought together for molding, form a cavity to be filled with a mold compound for encapsulating electrical components of the semiconductor power module, and a recess 7 in the first die 6 which communicates with the cavity within the second die. The recess 7 is filled with a cushion-like soft material 8 into which the top-sided pin connector is pushed thereinto and completely surrounded by the soft material so that a sealing means is formed that prevents any contamination of the electrical contact portion 3 of the pin 2 by the molding compound introduced into the cavity. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing such a semiconductor power module is described.

  • Patent number: 10910296
    Abstract: A lead frame is provided, including one or more power terminals and one or more control terminals, wherein at least one of the control terminals is externally terminated with a press-fit contact member, and wherein at least one of the control terminals and at least one power terminals are formed from different materials. With the disclosed lead frame of the invention, lower material cross sections in the power terminals will be provided because of the better electrical conductivity when using pure copper compared to alloys with higher mechanical strengths. Also specific/different plating could be added to the individual needs of the different pin types without using masks in the plating process.
