<p>A lead frame (32) for use in an integrated circuit package (30) is herein disclosed wherein the lead frame is produced by molding an electrically conductive material into a desired lead frame shape. There is also disclosed several possible arrangements for a lead frame (32) produced using the molding method including protrusions (36) on the lead frame (32) adapted to provide a mechanical connection to the integrated circuit package (30), a heat sink (38) molded as an integral part of the lead frame (32) with heat dissipating characteristics specific to the application in which the lead frame (32) will be used, and an arrangement which provides a heat conducting portion adapted to thermally connect a component attached to the lead frame (32) to an external heat sink.</p> |
