Abstract:
A metal base plate has two spaced thermally conductive ceramic bars fixed to one surface. The outwardly facing surface of the bars has spaced conductive pads. A plurality of diodes which are of alternating opposite polarity have axially extending leads extending between the bars in spaced parallel relationship with respect to one another, and are soldered to the conductive pads on the bars to define a series connection of the diodes. The suspended diodes and their leads are then encapsulated in a body of polymerizable material containing thermally conductive electrically insulative particles suspended therein such that the particles occupy more than about 75% of the encapsulating mass.
