Abstract: The present disclosure suggests various microelectronic component assembly designs and methods for manufacturing microelectronic component assemblies. In one particular implementation, the invention provides a microelectronic component assembly that includes spaced-apart first and second lead frame members. A packaged element is disposed between the lead frame members and attached thereto only by a plurality of elongate, flexible links that permit the packaged element to accommodate thermally induced stresses by floating with respect to the first and second lead frame members.
