Abstract:
The invention discloses a PCB (100, 400) with first and second main surfaces (110, 130), the PCB also having a first height, h, said two surfaces and height together defining the volume of the PCB. The PCB comprises layers (430, 434, 438) of a first supporting laminate material, layers (440, 431, 433, 435, 437, 439) of a first conducting material and layers (432, 436) of a first prepreg, said first materials and prepreg having respective dielectrical constants and dissipation factors. In the PCB, a sub-volume of the PCB defined by a sub-area (120) within the first main surface and a sub-height (h′) within said first height together comprise a sub-PCB (320) which comprises at least one layer (330, 334) of a second supporting laminate material, said second laminate material differing from the first laminate material with regard to at least one of the factors dielectrical constant and dissipation factor.
Abstract:
A multi-layer printed board assembly (PBA) with improved heat dissipation characteristics. An electronic component is surface mounted on a main surface at least partially over a cooling component arranged integrally in the PBA. The cooling component transports heat from the electronic component through the PBA in a first direction (x) essentially perpendicular to the main surface of the PBA, and in a second direction (y) essentially parallel to the main surface of the PBA.
Abstract:
A multi-layer printed board assembly (PBA) with improved heat dissipation characteristics. The PBA includes a cooling component, which extends essentially perpendicularly through the layers of the PBA. A first end of the cooling component contacts a cooling structure external to the PBA. An electronic component is surface mounted at least partially over a second end of the cooling component. The cooling component transports heat from the electronic component through the PBA to the external cooling structure.
