Abstract: A subassembly for an electrical component includes: a first plate including: a wall, stepped walls extending from opposite sides of the wall, flange elements extending outwardly from the stepped walls, each flange element defining an engagement slot; a first heatsink positioned on the wall between the stepped walls; a second heatsink; a power module between the first heatsink and the second heatsink; and a second plate including: a plate wall extending across the second heatsink, transition walls extending from opposite sides of the plate wall, and prongs extending from the transition walls toward the first plate and substantially perpendicular to an inner surface of the plate wall in contact with the second heatsink, wherein the prongs are aligned with and configured to engage the engagement slots.

Abstract: A base for an electrical component includes: a body, the body defining: a rim, pin slots, and first engagement slots; contact terminals; and electrical connectors, each of the electrical connectors being positioned within a respective pin slot and including a pin terminal positioned on a first surface of the body; wherein the base is configured to provide an electrical connection between one or more power modules and a substrate.
