Latest Patents

One of her latest patents is the "Parallel Dual Switch Module." This innovative module is characterized by improved mechanical and electrical packaging efficiency at a low cost. It includes a common terminal defined by a first stamped elongate metal plate insert molded into the module housing. The positive and negative terminals are defined by second and third stamped elongate metal plates disposed side-by-side atop the common terminal. The connection areas formed on the positive and negative terminals extend in opposite lateral directions and interdigitate with connection areas formed on the common terminal, thereby forming two linear parallel rows of connection areas. Additionally, adjacent each row of connection areas, and mounted on a baseplate of the module, is a set of parallel connected transistor subassemblies. A molded elongate gate collection component is mounted on the baseplate between the sets of transistor subassemblies and beneath the common terminal. This component confines a pair of insert molded gate terminal strips to which the gate terminals of the respective sets of transistor subassemblies are connected. The terminal strips, in turn, are coupled to gate terminals of the module. The transistor subassemblies are mounted in close proximity to the central terminal structure, and the metal tabs of the subassemblies are shaped to prevent interference with the overlying terminal connection areas and to provide stress relief.

Another significant patent is the "Substrate Subassembly for a Transistor Switch Module." This substrate subassembly is designed for a high power module and contains only one switching transistor with at least one integral short terminal lead tab. The substrate subassemblies can be pretested at significant operating current to obtain enhanced characterization and matching of mounted switching transistors. Trimmable gate lead resistances can be incorporated in the substrate subassemblies, providing enhanced compositional, geometrical, and electrical module symmetry.
