  • Publication number: 20130308275
    Abstract: An electronic component mounting module according to an embodiment includes a mounting member, a pressing member, and a fastening member. The mounting member includes a component housing frame that houses an electronic component generating heat during operation so as to be in contact with at least a part of a side face thereof, and that holds the electronic component so as to expose a main heat radiating surface thereof toward a heat sink. The pressing member is mounted on the mounting member, and presses the mounting member and the electronic component at the same time toward the heat sink through a heat sink layer. The fastening member presses the pressing member toward the heat sink, and thus presses to fix the component housing frame and the electronic component to the heat sink layer.

  • Patent number: 8426746
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an electronic component provided with leads. A printed circuit board has a front surface and a back surface and is provided with through holes and a groove hole. The through holes are capable of receiving the leads, respectively. The groove hole is formed so as to cross straight lines that connect the through holes. A first insulating spacer is provided on the groove hole between the leads so as to isolate the leads from each other and is positioned between the electronic component and the front surface of the printed circuit board. A second insulating spacer is inserted through the groove hole from the back surface of the printed circuit board and engages with the first insulating spacer so as to isolate end portions of the leads from each other.

  • Patent number: 7872868
    Abstract: A mounting structure for a power module, in which a power module and a heat sink can be easily separated without additional labor and time and without requiring an extra disassembly space in a product and in which parts are not damaged during the disassembly. In the heat sink (5a), screw holes (7a) having female screw threads into which power module fixing screws (2a) are screwed are formed so as to penetrate a power module mounting surface (5c) of the heat sink (5a) and heat radiation fins (9a). The power module fixing screw (2a) is constructed such that, to mount the power module (3) on the heat sink (5a), the screw head of the power module fixing screw (2a) is tightened from the printed circuit board (4a) side with a tool (8a) and that, to remove the power module (3) from the heat sink (5a), the power module fixing screw (2a) is loosened with the tool (8a) from the heat radiation fin (9a) side on the opposite side of the screw head.
