Press (non-soldered) contacts for high current electrical connections in power modules

摘要

An electrical connector for use in a power module includes a first end portion for forming an electrical connection with a substrate, a second end portion, and a compliant portion situated between the first end portion and the second end portion. The compliant portion includes a compressed position and a decompressed position. The first end portion is configured for forming an electrical connection with a substrate if the compliant portion is in the compressed position.
