Circuit assembly
The heat dissipation of a circuit assembly is improved. A circuit assembly includes: a relay that includes a terminal and generates heat when energized/as a result of energization/due to being energized; a base member to which the relay is attached and in which a through hole is formed; a heat dissipation member that is provided on a side of the base member opposite to a side on which the relay is attached; a first busbar that is connected to the terminal of the relay at a position spaced apart from the base member; and a heat transfer member that is inserted into the through hole so as to be movable in a direction along the axial direction of the through hole, and that comes into contact with the first busbar and the heat dissipation member.
1. A circuit assembly comprising:
a heat generator component that includes a terminal and generates heat when energized or as a result of energization or due to being energized;
a base member to which the heat generator component is attached and in which a through hole is formed;
a heat dissipator that is provided on a side of the base member opposite to a side on which the heat generator component is attached;
a busbar that is connected to the terminal of the heat generator component at a position spaced apart from the base member; and
a heat transfer structure that is inserted into the through hole so as to be movable in a direction along an axial direction of the through hole, and that comes into contact with the busbar and the heat dissipator.
2. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the busbar is elastically deformed by being pressed by the heat transfer structure.
3. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
a fastener portion configured to limit movement of the heat transfer structure that exceeds a predetermined amount is fixed to the base member.
4. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
a surface of the busbar is in surface contact with a surface of the heat transfer structure.
5. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the busbar is embedded in the heat transfer structure.
6. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the busbar is a heat dissipating busbar configured not to be energized when the heat generator component is in operation.
7. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the heat transfer structure includes a body that is passed through the through hole, and a bulge portion that extends in a radial direction of the body and that is not inserted into the through hole, and the bulge portion is disposed between the busbar and the base member.
8. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
a gap is formed between an outer peripheral surface of the heat transfer structure and a wall of the through hole, so that the heat transfer structure is movably disposed in the through hole along the axial direction of the through hole.
9. The circuit assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the heat transfer structure is disposed to be insertable into and removable from the through hole.
