Abstract

An electronic device includes: a circuit board having a mounting face, on which an electronic component is mounted; a heat receiver including a heat receiving plate opposed to the electronic component; and a fastening mechanism that fixes the heat receiver to the circuit board. The fastening mechanism includes a receiver having a proximal end and a distal end, the receiver having a mounting hole penetrating from the proximal end to the distal end; and a fastener that is inserted into the mounting hole for fastening to the receiver to press the heat receiver. The receiver is surface-mounted on the mounting face by soldering with the proximal end facing the mounting face.

Claims (22)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a circuit board having a mounting face, on which an electronic component is mounted;

a heat receiver including a heat receiving plate opposed to the electronic component; and

a fastening mechanism that fixes the heat receiver to the circuit board,

the fastening mechanism including:

a receiver having a proximal end and a distal end, the receiver having a mounting hole extending from the proximal end to the distal end; and

a fastener that is inserted into the mounting hole for fastening to the receiver and for pressing the heat receiver,

the receiver being surface-mounted on the mounting face by soldering, with the proximal end facing the mounting face,

wherein the receiver includes only one outer peripheral metal layer added on an outer peripheral surface of the receiver that is at the proximal end, the only one outer peripheral metal layer having a surface with higher solder wettability than a surface of the receiver.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting hole has an internal thread therein, and to which the fastener is screwed, and

the internal thread extends over an entire length of the mounting hole.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the outer peripheral surface has unevenness at least at a part close to the proximal end.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver includes an inner peripheral metal layer added on an inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole that is at the proximal end, the inner peripheral metal layer having a surface with lower solder wettability than a surface of the receiver.

5. An electronic device comprising:

a circuit board having a mounting face, on which an electronic component is mounted;

a heat receiver including a heat receiving plate opposed to the electronic component; and

a fastening mechanism that fixes the heat receiver to the circuit board,

the fastening mechanism including:

a receiver having a proximal end and a distal end, the receiver having a mounting hole extending from the proximal end to the distal end; and

a fastener that is inserted into the mounting hole for fastening to the receiver and for pressing the heat receiver,

the receiver being surface-mounted on the mounting face by soldering, with the proximal end facing the mounting face,

wherein the receiver includes only one inner peripheral metal layer added on an inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole that is at the proximal end, the only one inner peripheral metal layer having a surface with lower solder wettability than a surface of the receiver.
