Abstract:
An improved overmolded electronic assembly includes a backplate, a circuit substrate on the backplate, at least one electronic component mounted on the circuit substrate, conductive traces on the circuit substrate which together with the electronic component(s) defines a circuit device, an electrical connector, a metal ring on an outer side of a thermoplastic wall member of the electrical connector, and an overmold body. The metal ring circumscribes external connector pins of the electrical connector, and the overmold body together with the backplate and thermoplastic wall member of the electrical connector sealingly encase the circuit substrate and the circuit device defined on the substrate, with the overmold body having a peripheral edge in adhesive contact with the metal ring. The invention avoids delamination problems associate with similar arrangements which do not incorporate a metal ring.
Abstract:
A partially overmolded component (38) having a precisely defined overmolding edge (48) includes a component (44) having a protruding elongate rib (52) and the overmolding having a terminal edge abutting the protruding elongate rib. The rib defines surfaces that provide a greater area of contact between the component and an overmolding tool (24) and a more tortuous flow path to bleed-through.

Abstract:
An electronic package (10) having enhanced heat dissipation is provided exhibiting dual conductive heat paths (40, 42) in opposing directions. The package (10) includes a substrate (16) having electrical conductors thereon and a flip chip (12) mounted to the substrate (16). The flip chip (12) has a first surface, solder bumps (14) on the first surface, and a second surface oppositely disposed from the first surface. The flip chip (12) is mounted to the substrate (16) such that the solder bumps (14) are registered with the conductors on the substrate (16). The package (10) further includes a stamped metal heat sink (30) in heat transfer relationship with the second surface of the flip chip (12). The heat sink (30) includes a cavity (32) formed adjacent to the flip chip (12) containing a thermally conductive material (34).

An overmolded electronic assembly (100) includes a substrate (104), a plurality of surface mount technology (SMT) integrated circuit (IC) chips (106), a plurality of heat sinks (114), a backplate (102) and an overmold material (120). The substrate (104) includes a plurality of conductive traces formed on a first surface of the substrate (104). The IC chips (106) each include an active front side and a backside and the IC chips (106) are electrically coupled to one or more of the traces. The heat sinks (114) are each in thermal contact with the backside of a different one of the IC chips (106) and are independent of each other. The backplate (102) is attached to a second surface of the substrate (104), which is opposite the first surface of the substrate (104). The overmold material (120) covers the first surface of the substrate (104) and maintains the heat sinks (114) in thermal contact with an associated one of the IC chips (106).
