  • Publication number: 20010022939
    Abstract: An electric compressor includes a compression mechanism, an electric motor and a housing. The compression mechanism draws, compresses and discharges refrigerant gas. The electric motor drives the compression mechanism. The housing accommodates the compression mechanism and the electric motor. A heat sink extends from the housing. An inverter is located in the housing. The inverter powers the electric motor. A heat sink cools the inverter. The heat sink is cooled by refrigerant gas. The heat generated by the inverter is therefore effectively reduced.

  • Publication number: 20010002294
    Abstract: A printed circuit board includes an uncured substrate material with closed voids which are disposed with a through-hole. When the through-hole is formed, voids which exist in the substrate material open from inner wall of the through-hole to form a hollow-shaped part. By filling the through-hole and the hollow-shaped part with conductive paste, the adhesion improves by the increased holding effect between the conductive paste and the wall surface of the through-hole.
