    Abstract: There is provided an electrically conductive path device which can prevent radiation noise. An electrically conductive path device includes three bus bars electrically connecting a motor unit to an inverter unit, capacitance portions creating stray capacitance and an insulator. In terms of the electrically conductive path device, switching operation of a semiconductor switch located inside an inverter of the inverter unit creates change in voltage which is transmitted to the bus bar corresponding to a path from the inverter to the motor. At that time, the change in voltage is not transmitted further to the motor but is transmitted to the bus bar corresponding to a path from the motor to the inverter via the capacitance portion formed between the facing portions, i.e. via the stray capacitance.

Therefore, the size of the transformer is compact, and heat energy generated by electronic elements mounted on the rectifying circuit board is effectively dissipated to maintain normal operation of the transformer. Further, since the transmission path from the secondary winding unit to the rectifying circuit board is short, energy loss is reasonably reduced when the transformer is operated under a high frequency situation or a larger current mode.

  • Publication number: 20150029682
    Abstract: Proposed is a C/U that is designed to accomplish the above object. The CU includes a multilayer circuit substrate, a resin cover, and a metal base. Electronic parts are mounted on both surfaces of the multilayer circuit substrate which is covered with the resin cover and the metal base. The multilayer circuit substrate 8 includes a signal pattern, a GND pattern, an important signal pattern, and a multilayer circuit substrate insulating layer. The GND pattern is electrically connected to the metal base through a screw. The GND pattern is disposed on the side of the resin cover in order to shield the important signal pattern against electromagnetic waves penetrating the resin cover to enter a housing and electromagnetic waves incident from the metal base side. The important signal pattern is disposed so that it is covered with the GND pattern and the metal case.

  • Publication number: 20150029673
    Abstract: An electronic element surface-mounted on a substrate has a leg part that protrudes from a back surface of the electronic element toward a heat sink along a peripheral portion of a back electrode. As such, if the substrate warps, the protruding leg part abuts a heat reception surface of the heat sink, thereby preserving an insulation gap between the back electrode and the heat sink. As a result, short-circuiting is prevented.
