POWER CONVERSION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18369442 titled 'POWER CONVERSION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power conversion device with a connector unit that includes a fragile portion in the conductive member.
- The power conversion device includes at least one electronic component.
- The accommodating case is configured to house the electronic component.
- The connector unit on the accommodating case has a connector portion with an external terminal connected to the outside.
- A conductive member extends from the connector portion to electrically connect the connector portion and the electronic component.
- A fragile portion is formed in the conductive member.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various electronic devices that require power conversion, such as chargers, inverters, and power supplies.
Problems Solved
This technology helps to improve the reliability and durability of power conversion devices by incorporating a fragile portion in the conductive member, which can help prevent damage to the electronic component in case of excessive force or stress.
Benefits

Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to power conversion devices with connector units, but the specific feature of a fragile portion in the conductive member may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the fragile portion in the conductive member contribute to the overall reliability of the power conversion device?
The fragile portion in the conductive member is designed to break under excessive force or stress, thereby protecting the electronic component from damage. This feature ensures that the device remains functional even in challenging conditions.
What materials are typically used to create the fragile portion in the conductive member, and how are they selected for optimal performance?
The materials used for the fragile portion in the conductive member must be carefully chosen to balance strength and fragility. Common materials include specialized alloys or polymers that can break under specific conditions while maintaining electrical conductivity.
Original Abstract Submitted
A power conversion device has at least one electronic component, an accommodating case configured to accommodate the electronic component, and a connector unit provided on the accommodating case. The connector unit includes a connector portion provided with an external terminal electrically connected to outside, and a conductive member extending from the connector portion and electrically connecting the connector portion and the electronic component. A fragile portion is formed in the conductive member.
