Definitions
- Thepresent invention relates to an arrangement for stiffening capsules that house electronics, wherein the arrangement stiffens the capsule mechanically in an inexpensive manner while providing a suitable dielectric capsule environment.
- Capsules which house electronic devices often need to be protected mechanically against external influences. This protection is often affordedbymanufacturingthe capsule from sheet metal, or producing the casing in the form of a casting, or by injection-moulding the capsule from a plastic material.
- the capsule often has a screening or shielding function which prevents interaction through electromagnetic radiation.
- the present arrangement relates to a capsule-stiffening arrangement and a method of manufacturing the arrangement, with the intention of solving the problems associated with established technics.
- the inventive arrangement is comprised of an insert made of thermoplastic foam which fills the space between the elec ⁇ tronic device or devices and the walls of the capsule.
- the inventive arrangement is manufactured by compressing a piece of cross-linked plastic foam whose dimensions are slightly larger than the space to be filled to a volume which is smaller than the volume of said space, at a temperature above the glass transition point of the plastic material, and thereafter cooling said piece of plastic foam in its com- pressed state, so as to enable said material to be placed easily in the aforesaid interspace.
- the arrangement is then heated to a temperature above the glass transition point of the plastic foam, which then strives to expand to its original size.
- the plastic foam is very soft and will therefore not subject the electronic device or devices to harmful forces.
- the arrangement is thereafter cooled to the temperature commensurate with the normal operating temperature of the electronic device of devices and lower than the glass tran ⁇ sition point of the plastic foam, the plastic foam will expand to fill the space between the electronic device or devices and the capsule housing, and also all nooks and crannies in the capsule, to form a light, acoustically dampening filling of appropriate hardness.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the arrangement in its final state.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the arrangement and shows the plastic foam insert in its compressed state, in accordance with its method of manufacture.
- Figure 1 illustrates an electronic circuit board 1 enclosed in a metal casing 2.
- the earth plane of the electronic circuit board 1 is coupled to the metal casing 2 by means of a schema- tically illustrated conductor 3.
- the space between the electronic circuit board 1 and the metal casing 2 is filled with thermoplastic, cross-linked plastic foam 4.
- plastic foam foamed polyethylene which, after foaming, has been irradiated with 3-rays create cross- links between themolecule chains.
- Polyethylene is a non-polar plastic material which is suitable for use in the present case, owing to its low dielectric losses.
- the plastic foam filling 4 is functional in preventing vibrations and distance variations between the electric circuit board 1 and the metal casing 2.
- Figure 2 illustrates the same arrangement as that shown in Figure 1, but with the difference that Figure 2 shows the plastic foam insert 5 in its compressed state, in which the insert can be easily applied between the electronic circuit board 1 and the metal casing 2, in accordance with the method.
- the insert 5 is initially larger than the space to be filled, and is first heated to a temperature which lies above the glass transition point of the plastic material.
- the insert is then compressed to a size smaller than the size of said interspace and then cooled in its compressed state, so that it can be easily placed in the interspace.
- the insert 5 is then heated to a temperature which is higher than the glass transition point of the plastic foam, wherewith the insert strives to expand to its original size.
- the insert will fill the interspacebetween the electronic circuit board and the encapsulating casing, including all nooks and crannies, to provide a light, acoustically dampening filling of appropriate hardness, as shown in Figure 1.
- the plastic foam is very soft and will not therefore subject the elec ⁇ tronic device, or devices, to harmful forces.
