Abstract

A heat dissipating structure of a print circuit board to improve heat-dissipation efficiency for mounted electronic components while retaining required soldering strength is disclosed. The heat dissipation structure of a print circuit board comprising a stack of multiple layers including a mounting surface layer on which electronic components including heat generating components are soldered. On both sides of the print circuit board, inner vias bore surface layers but inner layers are not bored. Core vias bore the inner layers in the print circuit board but the surface layers are not bored. The inner vias and the core vias are positioned at the predetermined distance over the layer surface. Heat from heat generating components is conducted through the inner vias on surface layers and the core vias inside the circuit board to the outside, high efficiency of the heat-dissipation is achieved.

Claims (8)

1. A heat dissipation structure of a print circuit board, comprising

a print circuit board comprising a plurality of stacked layers constituted by a plurality of outer layers, the outer layers including an uppermost layer and a lower most layer, and a plurality of inner layers, the inner layers disposed between the outer layers, and

electronic components including a heat generating component, which are mounted on the outer layer,

wherein an inner via and a core via are formed in the print circuit board, the inner via which is bored through between the outer layers and not bored through between the inner layers, the core via which is bored through between the inner layers and not bored through between the outer layers, and

wherein the core via is disposed a predetermined length apart from the inner via on the stacked layer.

2. The heat dissipation structure of a print circuit board according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electronic components and the print circuit board are connected electrically with solder,

the solder flows into the inner via which is bored through the outer layer of the print circuit board and stops flowing in the inner via.
