Abstract

The device has a conductive substrate e.g. lead frame (11), circulating high power currents and including a thin part i.e. tongue (10), in form of a loop. The tongue formed in the substrate is fixed on a contact zone of an electronic component e.g. power module (12), at a free end of the tongue. A printed circuit board (14) is connected to the substrate using a press-fit process. A heat sink (13) is positioned below the substrate and the component.

Description

2 La connexion électrique ainsi réalisée entre une partie du "lead frame"2 The electrical connection thus made between a part of the lead frame

lui même et un module de puissance permet de faire circuler des courants de fortes puissances sans échauffements thermique excessifs. Cette connexion électrique est plus fiable et surtout moins onéreuse.  it itself and a power module makes it possible to circulate currents of high power without excessive thermal overheating. This electrical connection is more reliable and especially less expensive.

D'autres objets, caractéristiques et avantage de la présente invention, ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui suit à titre d'exemple non limitatif et en référence aux figures annexées, dans lesquelles: - La figure 1 est une vue en coupe du dispositif de connexion selon l'invention, et - La figure 2 est une vue de dessus du dispositif représenté à la figure 1. Selon l'exemple de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 et 2, le dispositif de connexion selon l'invention est réalisé dans un substrat conducteur encore appelé "lead frame" 11. Ce "lead frame" 11 comporte une partie amincie 10 en forme de languette. Cette languette est en forme de boucle de sorte à créer une certaine souplesse (élasticité) au niveau de cette partie amincie. La languette 10 supporte autant les dilations thermiques que les fils de "bonding" classiques. La languette 10 est ainsi directement réalisée dans le "lead frame" et est adaptée pour venir se fixer sur une zone de contact du module de puissance 12 au niveau de son extrémité libre. La fixation à vocation de connexion électrique est réalisée par soudure laser, par exemple. Dans l'exemple représenté un circuit imprimé 14 est également connecté au "lead f rame" 11 par un procédé de montage en force (technologie appelée press fit). En outre un radiateur 13 est placé sous le composant électronique et le "lead frame". On notera que des languettes peuvent être également prévues pour relier le "lead frame" au circuit imprimé, Comme cela est mieux visible à la figure 2 la largeur des pattes des languettes est adaptée à la puissance du courant qui les parcourt. De ce fait les languettes peuvent présenter des largeurs différentes. Elles peuvent également être multiples et montées en parallèle. On notera qu'un tel dispositif de connexion permet de réduire le nombre d'interconnexions entre le module de puissance (ici il s'agit d'un module SiPLIT), un calculateur électronique et un circuit imprimé. Le nombre d'étapes de fabrication est également réduit. En outre un tel dispositif de connexion ne nécessite pas de préparation spécifique des zones de contact sur le "Iead f rame" et sur le module de puissance. Un tel dispositif de connexion est compatible avec un procédé de montage en force (press fit) des connexions sur le circuit imprimé 3 Etant constitué de matériaux de nature homogène, un tel dispositif n'exige pas de protection chimique particulière. Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée à une connexion avec un module de puissance. Le lead frame (substrat conducteur) peut être relié 5 à tous types de composant électronique.  Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the appended figures, in which: - Figure 1 is a sectional view of the device connection device according to the invention, and - Figure 2 is a top view of the device shown in Figure 1. According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the connection device according to the invention is made in a conductive substrate also called "lead frame" 11. This "lead frame" 11 has a thin portion 10 in the form of tongue. This tongue is in the form of a loop so as to create a certain flexibility (elasticity) at this thinned portion. Tab 10 supports both thermal expansion and conventional bonding wires. The tongue 10 is thus directly formed in the "lead frame" and is adapted to be fixed on a contact zone of the power module 12 at its free end. The attachment for electrical connection purpose is performed by laser welding, for example. In the example shown, a printed circuit 14 is also connected to the "lead f rame" 11 by a force-fitting method (technology called press fit). In addition, a radiator 13 is placed under the electronic component and the "lead frame". It will be noted that tongues may also be provided for connecting the lead frame to the printed circuit board. As is better seen in FIG. 2, the width of the tabs of the tongues is adapted to the power of the current flowing through them. As a result, the tongues may have different widths. They can also be multiple and mounted in parallel. It will be noted that such a connection device makes it possible to reduce the number of interconnections between the power module (here it is a SiPLIT module), an electronic calculator and a printed circuit. The number of manufacturing steps is also reduced. In addition, such a connection device does not require specific preparation of the contact zones on the "Iead f rame" and on the power module. Such a connection device is compatible with a method of press fit of the connections on the printed circuit 3 Being made of homogeneous materials, such a device does not require any particular chemical protection. Of course, the present invention is not limited to a connection with a power module. The lead frame can be connected to all types of electronic components.
