Abstract:
One embodiment includes an electronic assembly having a first printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to a second PCB. The second PCB has at least two processors and is disposed above the first PCB. A thermal dissipation device is disposed above the second PCB, dissipates heat away from the two processors, and provides an airflow path. A power system is adjacent the thermal dissipation device and in a pathway of the airflow path.

The present invention provides electrical equipment for junction improved in sealing performance and reduced in size and weight, and also provides a method of manufacturing the same. A face cover 6 and a back cover 7 are press-formed from an aluminum alloy. An electrical component 2 including a board 3, electronic parts 4 and terminals 5 is tightly held between the face cover 6 and the back cover 7. The peripheral edge A of the face cover 6 and the back cover 7 is hermetically sealed with a resin mold 10 formed by injection molding. The resin mold 10 has connector portions 10b in which the terminals 5 project out nakedly to allow connection with external electrical equipment.
Abstract:
A circuit module is provided in which two secondary substrates or cards or the rigid portions of a rigid flex assembly are populated with integrated circuits (ICs). The secondary substrates are connected with flexible circuitry. One side of the flexible circuitry exhibits contacts adapted for connection to an edge connector. The flexible circuitry is wrapped about an edge of a preferably metallic substrate to dispose one of the two secondary substrates on a first side of the substrate and the other of the secondary substrates on the second side of the substrate.

A light emitting diode (LED) assembly with a vented printed circuit board is disclosed. A printed circuit board assembly may include a plurality of LED modules disposed in an array with a multilayered substrate and a plurality of vents. The multilayer substrate may include a thermal cooling layer which is in thermal communication with the LED modules for heat dissipation. The multilayer substrate may include one or more electrical power layers in electrical communication with the LED modules for energizing the LEDs. The multilayered substrate may have an external insulating layer that includes a plurality of fluid apertures configured for fluid communication with the thermal cooling layer.
Abstract:
An LED backlight unit includes a light source; a board including a circuit pattern printed on an underside thereof, and having at least one mounting hole perforated therein where the light source is inserted; a metal chassis having an inside surface on which an underside of the light source is mounted, and receiving the board to be arranged in parallel to and with a gap from the metal chassis; and a reflector arranged on a top surface of the board to reflect light generated from the light source. The heat radiating path for transferring heat from the light source to the outside can be more simplified to enhance heat radiation efficiency thereby raising product reliability. The number of whole components can be reduced and the board with the light mounted thereon can be replaced with an inexpensive part thereby saving fabrication cost.

A thermal management apparatus is provided, wherein heat generated by an electronic component coupled to a backside of a carrier substrate may be transferred to an opposite front side of the carrier substrate through a thermal conductor sized to pass through an opening in the carrier substrate.
Abstract:
A packaging system for a high current, low voltage power supply. The power supply uses bare die power FETs which are directly mounted to a thermally conductive substrate by a solder attachment made to the drain electrode metallization on the back side of the FETs. The source electrode and gate electrode of each FET are coupled to the circuitry on an overhanging printed circuit board, using CSP solder balls affixed to the front side of the FET die. The heat generated by the FETs is effectively dissipated by the close coupling of the FETs to the thermally conductive underlying substrate.
Abstract:
One embodiment disclosed relates to an apparatus for temperature control of an integrated circuit on a circuit board. The apparatus includes a first resistor on the circuit board, a second resistor on the circuit board, and a heat conductive material. The heat conductive material is attached to both the first and second resistors and to a surface of a package containing the integrated circuit. Another embodiment disclosed relates to an apparatus that provides both cooling and heating functionality in order to maintain the operational temperature of the IC within an acceptable range.
Abstract:
Flexible circuitry is populated with integrated circuitry (ICs) disposed along one or both of major sides. Contacts are distributed along the flexible circuitry to provide connection between the module and an application environment. The populated flexible circuitry is disposed about an edge of a rigid substrate thus placing the integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate with one or more layers of integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate. The substrate form is preferably devised from thermally-conductive materials and one or more thermal spreaders are disposed in thermal contact with at least some of the constituent integrated circuitry of the module. Optionally, as an additional thermal management feature, the module may include a high thermal conductivity thermal sink or area that is disposed proximal to, higher thermal energy IC devices. In preferred embodiments, extensions from the substrate body or substrate core encourage reduced thermal variations amongst the ICs of the module while providing an enlarged surface for shedding thermal energy from the module.
