Abstract:
Protrusions formed in a case member of a compression bonded encapsulated electrical device act on a resilient member and accurately maintain the compression force acting on the electrical contacts and the semiconductor element of the device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mounting bracket and to an assembly for a flat-packaged semiconductor device. The primary purpose of the bracket and assembly is to apply the contacting force to a semiconductor device without distorting or bending the contacting surfaces. The mounting bracket has two spaced-apart bosses which project into apertures of each member. The boss prevents electrical short circuiting from occurring between fasteners, required to clamp the components together, and the members. The bracket has a pressure contact which may be integral with, or separate from, the assembly. The pressure contact may have either a concave flexible face or a flat face for distributing the force of the bracket to a surface of member that it is mounted on.
