Abstract
A socket for an electronic component includes: an electrically insulating material; a base body including at least one opening configured for accommodating an electrically conductive pin configured for being electrically connected to the electronic component, the at least one opening being sealed with the electrically insulating material such that the electrically conductive pin is fed through the at least one opening while being electrically insulated from the base body; and a shell part including a pedestal configured for accommodating the electronic component, at least the shell part of the socket including a metal with a thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK.
Claims19
A socket for an electronic component, the socket comprising:
- an electrically insulating material;
- a base body including at least one opening configured for accommodating an electrically conductive pin configured for being electrically connected to the electronic component, the at least one opening being sealed with the electrically insulating material such that the electrically conductive pin is fed through the at least one opening while being electrically insulated from the base body, the base body including a perimeter;
- and
- a shell part including a pedestal configured for accommodating the electronic component, at least the shell part of the socket including a metal with a thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK, the shell part being distinct from the base body and being arranged at the perimeter of and thus radially outward of the base body at least partially.
A housing for an electronic component, the housing comprising:
- a socket for the electronic component, the socket comprising:
- an electrically insulating material;
- a base body including at least one opening configured for accommodating an electrically conductive pin configured for being electrically connected to the electronic component, the at least one opening being sealed with the electrically insulating material such that the electrically conductive pin is fed through the at least one opening while being electrically insulated from the base body, the base body including a perimeter;
- and
- a shell part including a pedestal configured for accommodating a submount, at least the shell part of the socket including a metal with a thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK, the shell part being distinct from the base body and being arranged at the perimeter of and thus radially outward of the base body at least partially;
- and
- a cap for sealing the electronic component.
An assembly for an electronic component, the assembly comprising:
- a housing including a socket for the electronic component, the socket including:
- an electrically insulating material;
- a base body including at least one opening configured for accommodating an electrically conductive pin configured for being electrically connected to the electronic component, the at least one opening being sealed with the electrically insulating material such that the electrically conductive pin is fed through the at least one opening while being electrically insulated from the base body, the base body including a perimeter;
- and
- a shell part including a pedestal configured for accommodating the electronic component, at least the shell part of the socket including a metal with a thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK, the shell part being distinct from the base body and being arranged at the perimeter of and thus radially outward of the base body at least partially, the shell part further including a bottom region and a side region;
- a thermoelectric cooler including a cold end side, the housing being attached to the thermoelectric cooler such that at least one of the bottom region and the side region of the shell part of the socket is attached to the cold end side of the thermoelectric cooler.
