Abstract

As the number of smartphone users grows, number of applications and the expected overall functionality in a smartphone grow simultaneously. With ever-so increasing expectations comes intense competition to squeeze in myriads of functions in a limited space that is only getting 'slimmer' by the year. In order to achieve this, companies often decrease the size of components in smartphones - battery connectors in particular. While they may fit, smaller battery connectors have their disadvantages due to the heat generated by the high current flow in the circuits. In collaborating with Korea's leading battery connector manufacturers, this research presents current issues and design concepts that should be considered when engineers design power connectors based on their electrical and thermal analysis.

스마트폰과 같은 모바일기기가 경박단소화 되고 작은 공간에 보다 많은 기능을 넣기 위한 경쟁이 치열해 지면서 내부에 사용되는 부품의 소형화가 급속히 진행되고 있다. 모바일 기기에서 메인보드와 배터리를 연결하는 배터리 커넥터의 경우도 마찬가지로 소형화되고 있으나 타 부품과 달리 커넥터 상에 흐르는 전류의 용량에 따른 발열 문제로 인해 소형화에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문은 모바일 커넥터 시장을 리드하고 있는 국내 기업과의 연구 협력을 통해 진행되었으며 국내 최초로 개발된 모바일 배터리용 초소형 커넥터에 대한 전기/열해석을 바탕으로 초소형 파워커넥터 커넥터 설계 시 고려하여야 하는 부분과 이러한 요소들에 대한 설계 방향을 제시한다.
