PST's proprietary "Power Solution Board (PWSB)" technology

Can be used in fields which require power supply downsizing and improved efficiency for standard encapsulated power supplies, as well as various charging devices, medical devices, and more.

Characteristics - Optimal heat dissipation structure/insulation structure -

  • ●Uses a resin circuit board, formed using our company's proprietary high thermal conduction insulating resin, on a base plate (aluminum plate)
  • ●Guaranteed dielectric strength for high power components (reinforced insulation)
  • ●Can be formed with a lead frame (copper electrode) thickness in the millimeter order
  • ●The resin is a UL certified material (Color: Black, Thickness: 0.4 to 1.6 mm)
  • ●Super resin thermal conductivity (3.4 W/m·K)
  • ●Allows for surface conduction heat dissipation

Benefits- More compact, thinner, higher efficiency, quieter -

  • ●Improved heat dissipation by dissipating heat to the device case.
    Allows for fan-less and heat sink-less applications
  • ●Provides excellent surface temperature uniformity.
    Large electrode thickness allows for compatibility with high power applications.
  • ●Contributes to energy saving. Minimal wire length for modularized components improves efficiency.
  • ●Lead frame (copper electrode) is processed into an input electrode.
    Simplifies connection reliability structure.

Downsizing example●Conventional:903cc→465cc(Achieves approximately 50% downsizing)
