Housing-free vertically insertable single-in-line circuit module

摘要

A housing-free, vertically insertable single-in-line circuit module has a carrier consisting of synthetic film or ceramic which carries a series of metal terminal pins and one or more electrical components including at least one integrated semiconductor circuit element, and associated conductor runs connecting the circuit element to the terminals, and the carrier has one lateral face thereof which is substantially covered by a metallic cooling sheet for permitting improved cooling of the circuit module by convection.
