  • Patent number: 6643134
    Abstract: In a holding and heat dissipation structure for a heat generation part for dissipating heat generated from the heat generation part having lead portions protruded from the main body thereof are soldered at a main substrate, a terminal plate is disposed at a position opposing to the main substrate with a predetermined distance therebetween, and a part housing portion for holding the part is provided at the terminal plate. The part housing portion is concavely formed. Insertion holes for inserting the lead portions protruded from the main body are formed at the part housing portion and the main substrate, respectively. The lead portions are inserted into these insertion holes, and the lead portions and the land portions of the main substrate are fixed to each other by the soldering in a state that the main body is separated from the bottom surface of the part housing portion.

  • Patent number: 6493228
    Abstract: A heat radiation packaging structure without getting a board itself larger, but with an excellent heat radiation ability and a low cost is provided. A bus bar 12 is fixed onto a wiring board 11, a connecting lead 15A of a relay 15 etc. being joined onto the bus bar 12, and the wiring board 11, the bus bar 12 and the relay 15 etc. are sealed all together with a heat conduction resin 23. Additionally, the bus bar 12 comprises a thermal diffusion portion 17 which is bent via a bent portion 12B and is apart from the wiring board 11. By means of such a structure, a heat radiation ability is enhanced and the heat radiation packaging structure for an electric part is realized at low cost without getting a board itself larger.

  • Patent number: 6372998
    Abstract: An electrical component connecting structure for an electrical component having a terminal is disclosed. The electrical component connecting structure comprises an insulating plate and a bus bar. The insulating plate comprises a first surface side for mounting the electrical component thereon and a second surface side. The insulating plate further comprises an opening portion formed at a predetermined position and defined by an inner wall extending from the first surface side to the second surface side. The bus bar comprises a pattern portion, an insertion plate portion, and a connecting plate portion. The insertion plate portion extends from the pattern portion to the second surface side of the insulating plate along at least part of the inner wall of the opening portion. The connection plate portion extends from the insertion plate portion so as to close the opening portion on the second surface side of the insulating plate.
