Abstract

A power conversion device is provided. The power conversion device includes a printed wiring board assembly, a grounding member, and a plurality of insulating struts. The printed wiring board assembly includes a printed circuit board and a plurality of electronic components. The printed circuit board has a plurality of through holes. The electronic components are disposed on the printed circuit board. The insulating struts correspond to the through holes and physically connect and electrically insulate the printed circuit board and the grounding member.

Claims (47)

1. A power conversion device, comprising:

a printed wiring board assembly, comprising:

a printed circuit board having a plurality of through holes; and

a plurality of electronic components disposed on the printed circuit board;

a grounding member; and

a plurality of insulating struts corresponding to the through holes and physically connecting and electrically insulating the printed circuit board and the grounding member, wherein each of the insulating struts comprises a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a plastic part partially covering the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are separated by the plastic part.

2. The power conversion device of claim 1 , wherein the grounding member comprises a heat-dissipating base, and at least one of insulating struts physically connects and electrically insulates the printed circuit board and the heat-dissipating base.

3. The power conversion device of claim 2 , wherein the heat-dissipating base comprises a case and a fluid passage disposed in the case.

4. The power conversion device of claim 2 , wherein the heat-dissipating base comprises a case and a fin set disposed in the case.

5. The power conversion device of claim 2 , wherein the grounding member further comprises a heat-dissipating member.

6. The power conversion device of claim 5 , further comprising:

a clamping member fixed to the heat-dissipating member, wherein the electronic component is clamped between the heat-dissipating member and the clamping member and is uprightly disposed on the printed circuit board.

7. The power conversion device of claim 5 , wherein the heat-dissipating member comprises a plurality of fixing portions, some of the insulating struts fix the printed circuit board to the fixing portions.

8. The power conversion device of claim 5 , wherein the heat-dissipating member contacts the heat-dissipating base.

9. The power conversion device of claim 1 , wherein the power conversion device is a vehicle power conversion device.

10. A printed wiring board assembly, comprising:

a printed circuit board;

a plurality of electronic components disposed on the printed circuit board; and

a restricting member having a body and an opening disposed in the body, wherein the electronic components are disposed in the opening, and the restricting member comprises a plurality of baffles.

11. The printed wiring board assembly of claim 10 , wherein the electronic components are capacitors.

12. The printed wiring board assembly of claim 10 , wherein the material of the restricting member is metal or plastic.

13. The printed wiring board assembly of claim 10 , wherein every two of the baffles are disposed opposite to each other and on an edge of the opening, and ends of the baffles distant from the body tilt toward a center of the opening.

14. The printed wiring board assembly of claim 10 , wherein the printed wiring board assembly is applied to a vehicle power conversion device.

15. A power conversion device, comprising:

a printed circuit board;

a plurality of first electronic components disposed on the printed circuit board;
