Title: Tadehiko Matsumoto and a Low-Profile Surface-Mount Power-Supply Unit.
Introduction
Tadehiko Matsumoto is an inventor associated with Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Yokohama, Japan. His work includes a patent for a surface-mount switching power-supply unit and a method for mounting it.
Latest Patents
Matsumoto is credited with 1 patent: “Surface-mount type switching power-supply unit and mounting method for the same.” The invention places a low-profile transformer near the middle of a circuit board. Its broad, flat upper surface serves as a suction surface for a placement nozzle, which can hold and transfer the unit to its target area on a motherboard for surface mounting. By using the transformer itself as the nozzle’s suction surface, the design avoids a separate suction feature and the need for transfer molding, supporting a lower-profile, lower-cost unit.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects an engineering approach focused on simplifying component placement while reducing manufacturing complexity. Matsumoto’s listed company is Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Collaborations
Matsumoto’s listed coworkers include Takayoshi Nishiyama and Jun Nagai.
Conclusion
Tadehiko Matsumoto’s patented design uses a transformer’s flat surface to streamline mounting, helping make a compact and cost-conscious switching power-supply unit.
