  • Patent number: 8054647
    Abstract: An electronic device mounting structure includes an electronic device, a busbar, and a solder. The electronic device has a body and a lead protruding from the body. The busbar has a flat portion and a wall portion rising from a periphery of the flat portion. The flat portion of the busbar extends parallel to a tip portion of the lead and is in contact with a back surface of the tip portion. The wall portion of the busbar faces a side surface of the tip portion with a predetermined space. The solder is located in the space and joins the side surface of the tip portion and the wall portion of the busbar.

  • Patent number: 7829387
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes metal wiring plates placed together in the same plane to provide a wiring circuit, electronic devices mounted to the wiring plates through a solder, a case having a base portion and columnar portions extending from the base portion. The wiring plates are fixed to the columnar portions such that the wiring circuit is spaced from the base portion. The wiring plates have an enough thickness to resist a large current for operating the electronic devices and to release heat generated by the electronic devices. The wiring circuit is spaced from the base portion of the case so that the heat generated by the electronic devices is released in the space efficiently. The electronic devices are soldered to the wiring plates at once in a thermal reflow process.

  • Patent number: 7582552
    Abstract: In an electronic apparatus, a busbar assembly is composed of busbars made of at least one previously selected metal material. Each of the busbars has one surface. A solder joint is made of an alloy of previously selected metal materials and placed on the one surface of at least one busbar. The solder joint is changed from a molten state to a solid state to thereby mechanically and electrically connect an electronic component to the one surface of the at least one busbar. The at least one previously selected metal material of the at least one busbar and the previously selected metal materials of the alloy of the solder joint determine that a contact angle of the molten solder joint to the one surface of the at least one busbar is within an angular range of 40 to 60 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20070193991
    Abstract: Wiring members such as bus bars for electrically connecting electronic components are contained in a casing composed of a substrate and a cover for closing an opening of the substrate. A laser beam is irradiated on and around solder held in one of the wiring members through a laser-transparent portion formed in the cover of the casing. The solder is melted by energy of the laser beam, and the wiring members are electrically connected by the molten solder. The electronic components and wiring members may be encapsulated in the casing before or after the laser beam is irradiated. Since the laser beam is irradiated from outside the casing after the electronic components and wiring members are contained in the casing, they can be positioned in the casing with greater freedom.

  • Patent number: 6033189
    Abstract: An improved displacement control valve incorporated in a variable displacement compressor. The control valve includes a valve body and a solenoid for actuating the valve body. The coil of the solenoid is wound about a bobbin made of insulating synthetic resin. A base plate integrally protrudes from the bobbin. A pair of conducting plates are secured to the base plate. Each plate has a clamping block. The coil has a pair of terminal wires. Each terminal wire is secured to and electrically corrected to one of the clamping blocks. Each terminal wire is wound about a holder formed in each plate between the bobbin and the corresponding clamping block. A diode is secured to the holders and is connected in parallel with the coil. A pair of terminals of the diode are secured to the corresponding holders by soldering and crimping. The holders prevent tension in the terminal wires from being applied to electrical joints formed between the wires and the clamping blocks, which makes the valve more reliable.
