Abstract

The present invention can prevent a lid from tilting when the lid is attached to a substrate. An electronic device 200 includes: a substrate 202 ; an electronic component mounted on the substrate 202 ; and a lid 100 including a cover portion 102 protruding in a direction opposite the substrate 202 and covering the electronic component and a flange portion 104 arranged at the periphery of the cover portion 102 and adhered to the substrate 202 . A protrusion portion 106 protruding for a predetermined height in a direction of the substrate 202 compared to other areas of the flange portion 104 is arranged on the flange portion 104 of the lid 100.

Claims (29)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a substrate;

an electronic component mounted on one side of the substrate; and

a lid including a cover portion protruding in a direction opposite the one side of the substrate and covering the electronic component, and a flange portion arranged at a periphery of, the cover portion and at least partially adhered to the substrate,

wherein one side the flange portion of the lid includes a first area and a second area other than the first area, and a distance between a side of the first area facing the one side of the substrate and the one side of the substrate is smaller than the distance between a side of the second area facing the one side of the substrate and the one side of the substrate.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first area is arranged at a corner of the flange portion.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of ones of the first area is arranged at four corners of the flange portion.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first area is electrically connected to a ground terminal formed on the one side of the substrate.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein an adhesive is arranged between the second area and the one side of the substrate.

6. A lid arranged cm a substrate mounted with an electronic component and covering the electronic component, the lid comprising:

a cover portion protruding in a first direction so as to cover the electronic component when arranged on the substrate; and

a flange portion including a protrusion portion arranged at a periphery of the cover portion,

wherein one side of the flange portion includes a first area and a second area other than the first arca, and a distance between a side of the first area facing the one side of the substrate and the one side of the substrate is smaller than a distance between a side of the second area facing the one side of the substrate and the one side of the substrate.

7. The lid according to claim 6 , wherein a plurality of ones of the first area is arranged on the flange portion of the lid.

8. The lid according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of ones of the first area is arranged so that a center of gravity at a vertex of the plurality of ones of the first area corresponds to a center of gravity of the lid.

9. The lid according to claim 7 , wherein the lid has a rectangular shape in a plan view, and the plurality of ones of the first area is arranged at corners of the flange portion.

10. The lid according to claim 9 , further comprising:

at least four first areas,

wherein the first areas are arranged at four corners of the flange portion.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein said one side of the flange portion of the lid includes a plurality of ones of the first area.

12. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of ones of the first area is arranged on the flange portion of the lid.

13. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of ones of the first area is arranged on the flange portion such that a center of gravity at a vertex of the first areas corresponds to a center of gravity of the lid.

14. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the electronic components is mounted on the substrate.

15. The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein a height of at least one electronic component of the plurality of the electronic components is higher than a height of other electronic components.

16. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a heat dissipation paste arranged between the electronic component and the lid, the paste being in contact with the electronic component and the lid.

17. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein, in said one side of the flange portion of the lid, the second area is placed between a plurality of ones of the first area.

18. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein, with respect to the side of the substrate, a bottom surface of the second area is placed higher than a bottom surface of the first area.

19. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein, in said one side of the flange portion of the lid, the second area is placed between a plurality of ones of the first area.

20. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein, with respect to the side of the substrate, a bottom surface of the second area is placed higher than a bottom surface of the first area.
