  • Patent number: 8729398
    Abstract: An electrical assembly comprises a substrate having a dielectric layer and one or more electrically conductive traces overlying the dielectric layer. An electrical component is mounted on a first side of the substrate. The electrical component is capable of generating heat. A plurality of conductive through holes in the substrate are located around a perimeter of the electrical component. The conductive through holes are connected to a conductive trace for heat dissipation. A cooling cavity has bores that face a second side of the substrate opposite the first side. A plurality of respective compliant pins are inserted into corresponding conductive through holes and the bores, wherein a generally exposed portion of the compliant pin is exposed to air or a coolant liquid within the cooling cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8570767
    Abstract: A lower enclosure has a first recess. A first annular retainer is adapted for engaging a lower portion of a capacitor and the first recess. The first annular retainer has a plurality of tabs that extend radially outward from an outer diameter surface of the first annular retainer. Each of the tabs has a sloped surface or a peaked surface for compression of the first annular retainer against the capacitor. An upper enclosure has a plurality of second recesses. A second annular retainer is adapted for engaging an upper portion of the capacitor and the second recesses. The second annular retainer has a plurality of protrusions that extend upward from the second annular retainer. Each of the protrusions has a slit for receiving a wedge, such that if the protrusions engage the wedge the second annular retainer is compressed against the capacitor.
