  • Patent number: 12727129
    Abstract: A power-converter module has a switching Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with power transistors generating heat. Ground, an input power supply, and an output power supply to the power transistors connect through metal traces on the switching PCB directly to interposer heat sinks that are soldered to the switching PCB. Copper bars attached to the bottoms of interposer heat sinks fit in holes in a system PCB to make connections. The metal traces and interposer heat sinks carry supply or ground currents and heat away from the power transistors. These power and ground currents continue from the interposer heat sinks through the copper bars to the system PCB. An interposer PCB has soler pads and solder balls to carry control signals from the system PCB to the switching PCB, bypassing the interposer heat sinks. Copper bars can be sintered, soldered, or welded to or integral with the interposer heat sinks.
