Abstract

An electric module with a planar transformer has a housing with an interior having an internal length and an internal height. The electric module additionally has a main printed circuit board with a first thickness, the main printed circuit board being equipped with at least one electronic component. The planar transformer is arranged on an additional printed circuit board with a second thickness, and the main printed circuit board has a recess which receives the additional printed circuit board. Additionally, the main printed circuit board and the additional printed circuit board are connected together via a connection.

Claims (15)

1. An electrical module comprising a planar transformer, said module comprising a housing having an interior m having an internal height; a main circuit board having a first thickness, at least one electronic component being arranged on the main circuit board; wherein the planar transformer is arranged on an add-on circuit board having a second thickness; the main circuit board comprising a recess that accommodates the add-on circuit board; and the main circuit board and the add-on circuit board being interconnected via a connection.

2. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection is step-like.

3. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection is formed by a step on the main circuit board.

4. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection is formed by a step on the add-on circuit board.

5. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection comprises an oblique contact surface.

6. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection is linear.

7. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection comprises a contact surface.

8. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection comprises a depth milling.

9. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the main circuit board is arranged centrally with respect to the internal height.

10. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the main circuit board is arranged so as to be asymmetric with respect to the internal height.

11. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the connection provides an electrical and mechanical connection.

12. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the main circuit board and the add-on circuit board comprises a common metallized contact surface.

13. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the first thickness of the main circuit board is smaller than the second thickness of the add-on circuit board.

14. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein at least one component is mounted on either side of the main circuit board in each case.

15. The electrical module according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical module provides an isolation amplifier.
