    Abstract: An improved capacitor packaging solution is presented that incorporates both thermal and electrical considerations. A package can include capacitor elements electrically coupled to a bus bar, and a thermally enhanced isolation layer between the bus bar and a case. The isolation layer can be provided adjacent a case base and sidewall portions. The bus bar can be disposed adjacent the isolation layer and be configured to extend along the package side and along the package length below the capacitor elements to provide an extended path for heat dissipation from the bus bar prior to its contact with capacitor elements. The enhanced isolation layer is configured to conduct heat away from the bus bar to the case to avoid the hotspot temperature of the capacitor. Reduced capacitor temperature allows use of smaller, cheaper capacitors, reducing inverter costs without compromising performance.

  • Patent number: 8842441
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a circuit board interconnection architecture, which includes at least one first plugboard and at least two second plugboards substantially perpendicular to the first plugboard, where at least one of the first plugboard and the second plugboards is provided with several slots; the first plugboard and the second plugboards are mated and electrically connected by using signal connectors on both sides of the slots. The circuit board interconnection architecture solves a fitting precision problem of the first plugboard and the second plugboards in orthogonal directions. Even though there is an assembly tolerance between the first plugboard and the second plugboards, the connectors still satisfy assembly precision requirements, which can also avoid overall deformation of a first circuit board and a second circuit board after the first plugboard and the second plugboards are interconnected and mated orthogonally.
