In one embodiment, a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly (522) includes a PCB (504), the PCB being arranged to define a through-hole therein, the through-hole having a surface, wherein the PCB includes a top surface and a bottom surface. The PCB assembly also includes a slug arrangement (562) and a surface mount component (524). The slug arrangement is formed from an electrically and thermally conductive material and includes at least a first portion (566) and a second portion (570, 574). At least a part of the first portion is positioned in the through-hole, and the second portion is coupled (578, 530) to the bottom surface. The surface mount component is positioned over the through-hole and the top surface, and has a first surface configured to contact the first portion (526b). |
