Publication number: 20200358221Abstract: A housing that can be used for a power module in a power system is disclosed. The housing includes features to improve the insulating properties and to reduce or eliminate a mechanical stress on a housing that could crack or break a substrate contained within the housing. The insulating properties are improved by protrusions that surround apertures for press-fit pins. Each protrusion can increase a creepage for the housing by extending the surface of the housing along a press-fit pin. The mechanical stress is reduced by a mounting flange that includes a wedge surface and a flexible structure that react to a force applied when the mounting flange is fastened to a surface by a fastener.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2019Publication date: November 12, 2020Applicant: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Jihwan KIM, Yushuang YAO, Bosung WON, Atapol PRAJUCKAMOL, Olaf ZSCHIESCHANG

Publication number: 20200358225Abstract: An electrical connector housing is provided with at least one locking clip, which is mounted pivotably via a bearing pin and has a locking region and an actuation region. In order to reversibly lock the electrical connector housing to a mating electrical connector housing, the locking region engages overbearing journals integrally moulded on the mating electrical connector housing. The locking clip has a locking device or means for blocking the pivot movement of the locking clip. In this manner, an accidental release of the plug-in connection can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2018Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventor: Norbert KROPIEWNICKI

Publication number: 20200358226Abstract: An electrical connector system with a receptacle and plug. The receptacle has a metal housing encircling an insulative housing. A side wall of the metal housing is separated from a corresponding side wall of the insulative housing, leaving a groove. The plug has a wall, extending from an insulative housing of the plug, parallel to a paddle card. The metal housing may be shaped to engage with the wall during mating of the plug and receptacle, facilitating alignment of the paddle card and plug interface of the receptacle. The wall may also carry latching components, which may latch to corresponding features of the metal housing, reducing the height of the mated connectors in comparison to configurations in which the latching components are mounted to the insulative housing of the plug. The receptacle housing may have asymmetric support parts, providing support in a compact space.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Applicant: Amphenol East Asia Ltd.Inventors: Lo-Wen Lu, Jong-Shiun Jiang, Chia-Te Huang
