Printed circuit board and power supply device
In the printed circuit board 100 in the power supply device, cover layers C 1 and C 2 are formed on a surface other than the connection areas 95 A′ and 95 B′ within a coil pattern EC, which corresponds to a surface-shaped exposure area exposed to the outside so that the size of the surface-shaped exposure area to which the conductive pattern E is exposed is adjusted, so that an effect, which restrains a conductor from being damaged, especially at a time of carrying the printed circuit board 100 while maintaining a heat radiating property of the conductor, is achieved.
1. A printed circuit board assembly, comprising:
a printed circuit board including:
a substrate comprised of an insulation material;
a hole; and
a conductive pattern formed on a surface of the substrate, the conductive pattern including:
a first side in contact with the substrate; and
a second side opposite the first side, the second side having a surface-shaped coil pattern formed around the hole, the coil pattern including:
a connection area thermally connected to a heat radiating member; and
a covered area outside of the connection area where a cover layer is formed, a thickness of a conductor forming the coil pattern being smaller than two times a thickness of the cover layer; and
a magnetic core disposed on the printed circuit board, the magnetic core including:
a leg disposed inside the hole; and
a flat plate that overlaps the covered area when viewed perpendicularly to the printed circuit board.
2. The printed circuit board assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a dummy portion on a different portion of the surface of the substrate than the surface-shaped exposure area, including:
a second conductive pattern; and
a second cover layer formed on a surface of the second conductive pattern.
3. A power supply device comprising:
the printed circuit board assembly set forth in of claim 1 ; and
a housing for accommodating the printed circuit board assembly,
wherein the coil pattern is installed on a lower surface of the printed circuit board, the coil pattern is thermally connected to the housing, and a bottom surface of the housing functions as the heat radiating member.
