  • Low stress, tolerance free method for mounting power devices
    Patent number: 4631819
    Abstract: A low stress, tolerance free method for mounting a power device to a heat sink is disclosed. The power device is soldered into a break-away area created on a printed circuit (PC) board which is separated from the main PC board prior to final assembly. The main PC board may be mounted in a housing using any suitable means and the power device may be affixed to a heat sink regardless of tolerance build up so long as sufficient "travel" is created in the jumper wires which couple the break-away PC board to the main PC board.
