OPTOELECTRIC DEVICE MOUNT

摘要

A mount for an electronic device such as a laser diode or light emitting diode has a metal stud with a pedstal and a screw portion. An elongated insulated tab is mounted on top of the stud. The tab has an opening at the mounted end and an electrically conducting path along the bottom, which path is perpendicular to and in contact with the stud. A block of high conductivity material is mounted through the opening in the tab and attached to the top of the stud to provide electrical and thermal conductivity therebetween.
