Gyimóthy 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 16-19, 25-28 Rev. 02 page 5 1 General assembly instructions The flow 1B type modules have to be mounted to a PCB. The electrical connections between module and the PCB can be made by soldering or by using Press-fit technology. In applications where the module is attached to a heat sink, the PCB must also be attached to this heat sink. Figure 1 shows how this attachment can be achieved with threaded spacers. PCB Module Module backside Heat sink 1. Figure: Module with PCB and heat sink The distance between the top surface of the heat sink and the bottom plane of the PCB is 12 mm or 17 mm, defined by the module type. PCB spacers can be used to obtain the correct spacing. The number and the position of the fixing points depend on the design of the circuit, the location of different masses like capacitors or inductors and the environment of the system. General recommendation cannot be given. For recommended heights of these spacers see the sections of mounting options (7, 10). Typical (recommended) assembly sequence: 1. Attach module to the PCB 2. Position and fix the assembled PCB with spacers to the heat sink 3. Fix the module to the heat sink During assembly process, a single pin is not allowed to be drawn or pushed more than ±0.2 mm or load w ith a force greater than 35 N (except during pressing-in of Press-fit pins). The special design of the Press-fit pins prevents higher than 0.1 mm deformation of pins during the pressing-in process. The tension of the pin must not exceed ±5 N at a maximu m substrate temperature of 100 °C. 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 6 2 Specification for PCBs 2.1 Printed board material meets the requirements of IEC 61249-2-7; The number of conductive layers is not limited. Specification for modules with Press-fit pins Printed board thickness must not be less than 1.6 mm (thinner PCBs require additional testing and w ill be performed upon request). PCB should be covered with solder mask on both sides. Plated through-hole specifications for Press-fit pin: o Hole diameter before plating: 1.6 mm ± 0.025 mm o Thickness of the PTH wall > 25 μm Cu o Plated hole final dimension: 1.45 mm +0.09 mm / -0.06 mm o Minimum Cu width of the annular ring > 0.1 mm o Through hole position accuracy ±0.1 mm Plating material: o for chemical tin plating (Sn): 0.5 μm to 10 μm The PCB can be disassembled and reused 2 more times. 2. Figure: C hemical tin plating (for illustration only, no real proportions) o for HAL tin plating (Sn): 0.5 μm to 50 μm The PCB can be disassembled and reused 2 more times. 3. Figure: HAL tin plating (for illustration only, no real proportions) o Au: not generally released; individual release of PCB system required Minimum distance between the edge of the PCB and the centre of the pin hole: 4 mm Minimum distance between the centre of the pin hole and the component on the PCB: 4 mm For any other requirements IEC 60352-5 standard should be considered 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 7 2.2 Specification for modules with solder pins The module must be attached to the PCB with 4 screws After screwing the module to the PCB, all pins must be soldered. The hole diameters on the PCB have to be designed according to the soldering pin diameter which is Ø 1 mm ±0.05 mm. For further dimensions or a 3D model please contact your local sales manager. 4. Figure: Solder pin diameter 2.3 Specification for modules with Press-fit pins that are soldered to the PCB In cases where the Press-fit pins are soldered instead of pressed into the PCB the recommended PCB hole diameter is 1.85 mm ± 0.1 mm. In these cases, that the annular ring must be designed according to the standards for through hole components to ensure proper soldering of the Press-fit pins. Please read section 11. Recommendation for soldering also. 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 8 3 Specification for module backside surface (for DCB substrated module only) The thermal properties are not affected if the dimensions of the surface imperfections are within the following values. Polishing is allowed on the whole nickel plated surface if copper doesn’t become visible. If copper becomes visible, the unit is scratched and the follow ing acceptance critera should be used. The depth and width of the scratch can’t exceed 200 μm and 800 μm, respectively. The length of the scratch does not matter but the total area of scratches must not exceed 5 % of the total substrate surface. The diameter and depth of etching holes have to be below 1000 μm and 200 μm, respectively. Discolorations and f ingerprints are only surface imperfections and do not affect the module's functionality. Substrate surface imperfections can be seen on the figures below. 5. Figure: Scratch and etching hole dimensions 6. Figure (Left to right): Polished surface; Discoloration of substrate; Fingerprint on the surface 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 9 4 Specification for heat sink The whole heat sink surface under the module must be plane, clean and free of particles. The flatness tolerance should be: < 25 µm in general. In case the thermal paste thicker than 50 µm the flatness tolerance can be < 50 µm. (A flatness tolerance specifies a tolerance zone defined by two parallel planes w ithin which the surface must lie.) The surface roughness should be less than: Rz < 10 µm. Heat sink surface imperfections should be within the values described for the module backside surface (please refer to section 3). 5 Specification for thermal interface materials 5.1 OPTION 1: Thermal paste: A. Apply a homogeneous layer of thermal conductive paste over the whole backside of the module, w ith a roller or spatula. The recommended thermal paste thickness is 45 µm ± 15 µm in this case. B. Apply thermal paste in a honeycomb pattern, seen on 7. Figure:. The preferred technology for paste application is screen printing. For a draw ing of the pattern please contact your local sales representative. 7. Figure: Thermal paste honeycomb pattern Thermal paste thicker than recommended will increase thermal resistance ( Rth). 5.2 OPTION 2: Thermal foil: A thermal foil comprising of an aluminium core layer and two outer layers of phase change material should be used. The total thickness of the foil has to be less than 80 µm. Thicker foils could cause the ceramic substrate to break and increase the thermal resistance. Recommended foil type is Kunze Folien KU-ALC5 or ALF5: Recommended foil dimensions: see 7. Figure: on next page. 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 10 Type a/mm b/mm c/mm d/mm r/mm t/µm flow 1B 72 ± 0.15 61 ± 0.15 36 ± 0.15 4.5 ± 0.15 2 ± 0.15 < 80 8. Figure: Recommended thermal foil dimensions 5.3 OPTION 3: Pre-applied thermal interface material The modules may have already been pre-printed with thermal interface material. For modules w ith Press-fit pins a unique press-in tool (see section Error! Refe rence source not found.) has to be used or the module has to be mounted first to the heat sink and then pressed into the PCB. Further information about using modules with pre-applied TIM see the application note for “Power modules with Phase-Change Material” on Vincotech’s website 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 11 6 Specification for fastening screws to the heat sink Screws M4 (recommended screw type DIN 7984) Min. length of the screw in the heat sink: 6 mm Flat washer ISO 7092 (DIN 433) Spring washer DIN127 or DIN 128 Mounting torque: 1.6 Nm < Ms < 2 Nm For modules with AlN DCB: tighten both screws with half torque first, and then tighten both screws with max. torque afterwards A torque wrench shall be used to tighten the mounting screws at the specified torque as excessive torque may result in damage or degradation of the device. The inaccuracy of torque wrench tightening method can range up to ±12 %. This has to be taken into account to prevent over-tightening the fastener. Due to excessive temperature f luctuations washers should be used to prevent the loosening of the screws. After accurate tightening of the screws the spring washer exerts a constant force on the joint. The flat washer distributes this force on the plastic surface. 6.1 Screw with pre-assembled washers Screws with pre-assembled washers (SEMS or kombi screws) combine the screw and the washers into a single component. These screws eliminate the need to slip the washers into place by hand, boosting the speed and efficiency of the assemb ly process. The specifications of these screws are provided below: Screw size M4 according to DIN 6900 (ISO 10644; JIS B1188) Flat washer according to DIN 6902 Type C (ISO 10673 Type S; JIS B1256) Split lock spring washer according to DIN 6905 (JIS B1251) Mounting torque range: 1.6 Nm < Ms < 2 Nm 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 12 6.2 Mounting with automatic screwdriver For a fast, reliable and repeatable screwing process an automatic screwdriver with two stage tightening method is recommended. The screwdriver starts fast in the first stage and slows down after the first target torque is reached to accurately tighten the screw to the final target. For torque and speed recommen dations see below the curves (9. Figure) and values: Torque - Cycle start: First target: Final tq min.: Final target: Final tq max.: 0.3 Nm 0.5 Nm 1.6 Nm 1.8 Nm 2 Nm Soft start speed: Step 1 speed: Step 2 speed: 96 rpm max. 650 rpm max. 12 rpm Speed - 9.

Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 13 7 Mounting options of modules with Press-fit pins In the case of modules with Press-fit pins, is not recommended to screw the modules to the PCB through the towers. The recommended height of the spacers for fixing the PCB to the heatsink is: In case of 12 mm type and Thick Film substrate modules: 11.5- 0 .1 mm. In case of 17 mm type and Thick Film substrate modules: 16.5 - 0 .1 mm 8 Press-in process of modules with Press-fit pins 8.1 Press-in construction 10. Figure: Recommended construction for the press-in process 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 14 11. Figure: Press-in tools closed, module is pressed in The module can be pressed into the PCB from the top (as 10. Figure: shows) or the PCB can be pressed onto the module from the top (the module is below the PCB). The preferred method is to press the module into the PCB from the top. This method will be discussed in this document. Pressing multiple modules into one PCB can be done one by one (subsequently) or all at once. Pressing multiple modules at the same time requires a press -in tool according to the above detailed single tool. The tool has to ensure the correct leveling of the modules and PCB to avoid mechanical stress. The “U-shape” tool (Error! Re ference source not found.) is only because to keep the distance between the PCB and the module. Depending on the PCB layout the geometry and the position of this distance keeper can be different. Minimu m distance between tool and the components on the PCB: 4 mm 8.1.1 Press-in tool reference design 8.1.1.1 Modules without thermal interface material Requirements for the press-in tool: Tool steel grade 21 MnCr 5 w ith yield strength of 660 MPa and hardness of 330 HB or better. Maintenance: Due to inherent contamination f rom process and product tolerance differences, it is recommended to clean the press-in tool regularly. The dimension marked w ith ‘x’ on the draw ing (12. Figure:): In case of 12 mm type and Thick Film substrate modules: 11.5 +0 .05 mm In case of 17 mm type and Thick Film substrate modules: 16.5+0 .05 mm 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 15 For a 3D model please contact your local sales manager. 12. Figure: press-in tool for modules without thermal interface material 8.1.1.2 Modules with thermal interface material A unique press-in top tool shown in Figure 16 is needed to prevent significant damage to the phase change material during the press-in process. Small damages (max: Ø 0.6 mm) are allowed. Requirements for the press-in tool: Tool steel grade 21 MnCr 5 w ith yield strength of 660 MPa and hardness of 330 HB or better. Maintenance: Due to inherent contamination from process and product tolerance differences, it is recommended to clean the press-in tool regularly. The desired cleaning interval is once every 100 modules w ith soft wipes soaked in Isopropyl alcohol. The dimension marked w ith ‘x’ on the draw ing (13. Figure:): In case of 12 mm type and Thick Film substrate modules: 11.5 +0 .05 mm In case of 17 mm type and Thick Film substrate modules: 16.5 +0 .05 mm 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 16 For a 3D model please contact your local sales manager. 13. Figure: Recommended press-in tool for modules with thermal interface material 8.1.2 Supporting tool The supporting tool supports the PCB during the press-in process. The size and position of the holes and cut-outs depends on the components on the PCB. 14. Figure: shows the recommended hole and cut -out dimensions for the Press-fit pins. The recommended diameter of the holes / cut-outs for the pins in the supporting tool is between 1.7 mm and 4 mm (depending on the positioning accuracy). The minimal supporting place around the hole is 2 mm (the min. distance of PCB components from the PCB pinhole should be also considered here). If the pins are close to each other then it is possible to make a lengthwise cut -out for more pins as well. It is necessary to position the PCB and the module as well. The depth of the cut-outs for the pins is 6 mm. The module can be positioned with pins from the bottom tool through the fixing holes of the modules. Material of the supporting tool: POM (Polyoxymethylene) ESD proof or any metal allo y. The thickness of the supporting tool has to be at least 20 mm. 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 17 14. Figure: The recommended hole and cutout dimensions for supporting tool 8.2 Press-in process parameters Press-in force: 70 N/pin to 160 N/pin Press-in speed: 5 mm/s to 10 mm/s The total press-in force depends on the number of the pins, the hole-diameter and the plating (type/quality) of the PCB. 8.2.1 Basic requirements for the press-in process The Press-fit pins have to be pressed to the correct depth into the holes of the PCB. The center of the Press-fit pin head has to be at least 0.5 mm below the top surface and at least 0.5 mm above the bottom surface of the PCB. (15. Figure:). This condition is automatically fulf illed w ith the use of the recommended press -in tool. Error! Re fere nce source not found. shows the closed press-in tool w ith the module. If a position controlled press-in process is implemented care has to be taken to ensure the same conditions are reached. 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 18 15. Figure: Press-in depth in PCB 8.3 Process control parameters If the press machine is equipped with the possibility to record the force-stroke values during the process, the following quality relevant values should be taken into consideration. 16. Figure: shows a normal press-in diagram. Three different sections can be seen on the diagram: First raising section (blue): The heads of the Press-fit pins slide into the holes and deform to fit in the holes. This section ends with a local maximum. Second section (green): The pin slides in the holes to reach the final position. The centre of the pin heads are inside the holes and do not deform any longer. This section ends with a local minimum. Second raising section (red): press-in tool touches the PCB and the sliding of the pins is stopped. The press-in tool starts to bend the PCB. The pressing-in has to be stopped at the beginning of the second raising section, not exceeding the actual max force of the first rising section, to avoid damaging the PCB or the deformation of the plastic housing. The press-in force or the motion stroke of the tool has to be controlled to stop at the beginning of the second raising section. Possible process control parameter settings are as follows: The local maximum value (end of blue section) of the force-stroke diagram has to be: o higher than 70 N x number of the pins, o smaller than 160 N x number of the pins. These limits are marked on the diagram. If the press-in force does not fit in the interval defined above, it can indicate faulty plating, or improper diameter of the holes. 29.02.2016 Zs.

Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 20 9 Press-out process for modules with Press-fit pins Please note: In the case an out -pressed module should be used again, it is necessary to solder the module to the PCB because of the remaining deformation of the pins. This is because the Press-fit zone will keep a remaining deformation after the press-out process. An additional press-in cycle will result in low holding forces between the Press-fit pin and the PCB hole. Additional information for the annular ring can be found in section 2.3 17. Figure: Exploded view of the press-out tool 18. Figure: Working position of the press-out tool 29.02.2016 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 02 page 21 9.1 Press out tool The specific tool to disassemble the modules from the PCBs has two parts, similar to the press in tool. The lower part serves as a backing for the PCB. It has a backing nest and supporting pins. It is important that the backing has to be as close as poss ible to the side of the modules. The supporting pins are in line with the fixing pins of the upper part. There may be components mounted to the PCB in the area of the backing. It is possible to cut out the nest in this case. The upper part consists of two pressing plates that are connected by springs. The pins on the lower plate serve to fix the PCB. With the aid of these parts, the bending of the PCB can be prevented during pressing. The ram fastened to the upper plate is designed according to the positions of the parts on the PCB and the layout of the pins. It is not possible to press the module out with a flat plate if the PCB is thicker than 2.5 mm, due to the overhang of the pins. In this case, pressing sticks positioned according to the pin layout are necessary. Recommended spring force: 25 N/mm Recommended number of springs: 4 Pieces 19.

Figure: Recommended dimensions of the lower tool 9.2 Press-out process characteristics After inserting the module into the nest, the downward moving press f ixes the PCB with the lower plate through the springs. The pins are pressed through by the onward moving pressing ram. 21. F igure: shows a typical force-distance diagram of the press-out process for a 33 pin module.

The cutting should be done in a way that the cutting edge is under the area where the two parts of the pin head join shown as level ‘A-A’ in 22. Figure:. After cutting away all of the pin-heads, it is possible to remove the module from the PCB. 22. Figure: Cutting edge 29.02.2016 Zs.
