Power supply device and components thereof

摘要

A power supply device includes a capacitance partition, a control partition, a power switching partition, a thermal conduction partition, and a magnetic partition. The thermal conduction partition includes electrical connections to connect other partitions. The thermal conduction partition provides for magnetic shielding of the magnetic partition and thermal dissipation in a substantially orthogonal direction to the electrical connections. The layering arrangement allows automated production and/or testing.
